DESCRIPTION:Potters and Warlords in an Afghan Bazaar How does culture shape
  the way that we understand social organization and violence? This talk fo
 cuses on an Afghan market town north of Kabul where the speaker conducted 
 a year and a half of ethnographic research with several lineages of potter
 s. Despite insurgency in neighboring districts and a great deal of tension
  over land and water rights\, the social patterns\, including marriage\, f
 riendships and both economic competition and cooperation\, made violence a
 n unattractive political tool for many of the young men in town. As the pr
 esence of international military forces and development continue to reshap
 e the local political landscape\, however\, power and sovereignty continue
  to be re-conceptualized. This talk looks at current sources of instabilit
 y in Afghanistan on both a local and national level\, and more broadly ask
 s what this tells us about the relationship between culture\, social organ
 ization and power.
