Duty Abstract:, Variety and complementarity characterize the views of six Lutheran theologians regarding the place of the church in the public square: Martin Marty, Ronald Thiemann, Robert Benne, Gary Simpson, Cynthia Moe-Lobeda, and Patrick Kiefert. This article explicates their thought in with respect to the internal and external life of the church. To think of the church as a "community of moral deliberation" in the public square becomes the preferred model for Lutherans in North America. [source] Common Schools and Uncommon Conversations: Education, Religious Speech and Public SpacesJOURNAL OF PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION, Issue 4 2007KENNETH A. STRIKE This paper discusses the role of religious speech in the public square and the common school. It argues for more openness to political theology than many liberals are willing to grant and for an educational strategy of engagement over one of avoidance. The paper argues that the exclusion of religious debate from the public square has dysfunctional consequences. It discusses Rawls's more recent views on public reason and claims that, while they are not altogether adequate, they are consistent with engagement. The outcome of these arguments is applied to three ,hot button' issues in US education: creationism, an issue of gay rights, and teaching the Bible in schools. [source] States, markets, and other unexceptional communities: informal Romanian labour in a Spanish agricultural zoneTHE JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL ANTHROPOLOGICAL INSTITUTE, Issue 3 2008Tod Hartman The logic of transnational capital and the ongoing European imperative of ,competition' have created unofficial economies, seemingly exceptional situations in which the state is left to grapple with the problem of essential but ,illegal' labour in spaces in which it is no longer unambiguously sovereign. This article discusses Romanian labourers working informally, and often temporarily, in an agricultural area characterized by intensive plastic greenhouse production in Almería province, Spain. Informal employment is arranged through personal contacts and connections, advertisements, or anonymously in the plaza, the public square. Wages are often negotiated through the person of a Romanian intermediary, who organizes workers into teams, contracts with Spanish growers, and retains a significant proportion of the total pay. It is argued here that although technically outside of state jurisdiction, some of this ,illegal' economic activity embodies normalized, unexceptional features of the ,official' labour market. These include the general reliability of obtaining work with predictable wages and some opportunity for occupational and economic mobility within the sector for a limited number of people, as well as work-related hierarchies, a racialized division of the area's labour force, and the reproduction of capitalist relations of production in the interests of prolonging the provision of flexible and cheap migrant labour with the complicity of the state. Résumé La logique du capital transnational et l'impératif européen de « concurrence » ont donné naissance à des économies non officielles, situations apparemment exceptionnelles dans lesquelles l'État doit résoudre le problème d'une main-d',uvre indispensable mais « illégale » dans des espaces où il n'est plus entièrement souverain. L'auteur décrit ici le travail informel et souvent temporaire de Roumains dans une région agricole de la province d'Almería, en Espagne, caractérisée par une production intensive sous serres en plastique. Les embauches informelles s'organisent par contacts personnels et relations, par petites annonces, ou de façon anonyme sur les places de village. Les salaires sont souvent négociés par un intermédiaire roumain qui organise aussi les équipes d'ouvriers, sous-traite avec les cultivateurs espagnols et se réserve une part conséquente de la paie. Bien qu'elle échappe techniquement à la juridiction de l'État, une partie de cette activitééconomique « illégale » reprend des caractéristiques normalisées et ordinaires du marché du travail « officiel » : fiabilité d'un travail rémunéré de façon prévisible, possibilité de mobilité professionnelle et économique dans le secteur pour un nombre limité de personnes, hiérarchisation du travail, division racialisée de la main-d',uvre dans la région, reproduction des relations capitalistes de production en vue de prolonger la fourniture de main-d',uvre migrante flexible et bon marché, avec la complicité des pouvoirs publics. [source] DOCUMENTING LOCAL CULTURE: AN INTRODUCTORY FIELD SCHOOLANNALS OF ANTHROPOLOGICAL PRACTICE, Issue 1 2004Philip B. Stafford This chapter provides a detailed description of a three-week summer residential field school conducted in Bloomington, Indiana, in 2000 and 2001. Following a model developed by David A. Taylor of the American Folklife Center, the school provided instruction and hands-on experience to students interested in learning methods of cultural fieldwork including interviewing, photography and participant-observation. Additionally, students learned methods of documentation including archiving and exhibition through radio, video, and other public displays. Each field school was organized around a salient local theme: the public square, in year 1 and community and disability, in year 2. This chapter summarizes the multiple practical challenges that students and instructors face in conducting a successful fieldwork school, with reference to transportation, supervision, field ethics, meals, residential accommodations, equipment, teamwork, and exiting the field.
