Reconceptualizing Archaeological Perspectives on Long-Term Political Change (Feinman, Annual Review of Anthropology 52: 347–364, 2023)2023 •
In archaeology, along with a large sector of other social sciences, comparative approaches to long-term political change over the last two centuries have been underpinned by two big ideas, classification and evolution, which often have been manifest as cultural history and progress. Despite comparative archaeology’s agenda to explain change, the conceptual core of these frames was grounded in the building of stepped sequences of transformation with expectations drawn from synchronic empirical snapshots in time. Nevertheless, especially over the last 70 years, archaeology has seen the generation and analysis of unprecedented volumes of data collected along multiple dimensions and a range of spatial scales. Compilation and comparison of these data reveal significant diversity along various dimensions, which have begun to create dissonance with key tenets, assumptions, and even the aims of extant, long-held approaches. Expanded conceptual framing with a shift toward a focus on explaining variation and change is necessary.

Countering the Logics of War in Global Health Policy: Fake Drugs, Antimicrobial Resistance, and Fugitive Science2024 •
Powerful pharmaceuticals are readily available for purchase throughout Tanzania and global health policy makers decry this situation as dangerous and disordered, as if no rules govern the use of drugs in Africa. In the prevailing global health understanding, ‘truth’ lies in the laboratory science that goes into the making and proper prescription of drugs, and such deviations as ‘overuse’ and ‘misuse’ result from the fact that locals supposedly misunderstand what these drugs are and how they should be used. However, my ethnographic research in Tanzania reveals that embodied epistemologies frequently enable medical practitioners and patients to evaluate the quality of various drugs and to identify chakachua (substandard or adulterated) pharmaceuticals through their material and sensory qualities—a practice I conceptualize as a form of ‘fugitive science’ (Rusert 2017). In light of this, I analyze the WHO’s National Action Plan for Antimicrobial Resistance in Tanzania, demonstrating how such global health policies disregard this knowledge, employing neocolonial rhetoric that presents ‘ignorance’ and ‘lack of hygiene’ as the sources of growing antimicrobial resistance while simultaneously obscuring structural inequalities. I argue that such forms of global health surveillance operate through the logics and epistemologies of war (Chow 2006; Terry 2017) in ways that render populations in the Global South into threats and targets. I conclude by suggesting that fugitive science can work as counter-evidence to health security frameworks and, as such, represents a furtive form of resistance to these militarized logics.
