Race and racism are key analytical constructs that express fundamental issues not only of power and inequality, but also of justice, democracy, equity, and emancipation. The study of race in the social sciences is an established, dynamic, multidisciplinary, and international field. Work began at the end of the 19th century. To study race with a global perspective, it is necessary to have a transdisciplinary view to read critically the phenomena that intersect with this variable. This field includes contributions from sociology, history, philosophy, legal studies, anthropology, cultural studies, political science, epidemiology, and journalism, among others. Several declarations have been made in recent years about the alleged end of racism or the end of a race-coded era. However, even though they are not new, every time they resurge these doxas underline new regimes of truth, reconfigure racisms, and strength inequality. The vast literature produced by scholars in this field provides evidence of how race is based on narratives created to enslave, subordinate, exploit, and exclude millions of human beings across the globe.

Apart from the fact that anthropology has long been considered the bastard of the social sciences and the stepchild of the humanities, it is quite appropriate that a syllabus in Middle Eastern anthropology should follow those on geography, political science, and history. I cannot think of a single cultural anthropologist of my acquaintance dealing with Middle Eastern materials who has not urged, if not insisted, that his students familiarize themselves with the geography of the area, its ancient, medieval, and modern history, its religions, and its languages. Since most cultural anthropologists do field work in ar least one culture area, and many do it in two, the latter requirement is usually met with some degree of proficiency by anthropologists themselves and their graduate students. However, despite the obvious relevance of such great religious traditions as Islam, Christianity, and Judaism to the study of particular communities and regions within the Middle East, the acquaintance of anthropologists (not to mention students) with historical and religious materials remains sadly deficient, if only because of the richness of the literature available.

RESUMO: A partir do exame de perspectivas epistêmicas abertas pelas ciências sociais, postulamos formas de os Estudos Literários lidarem com a intervenção em campo, especialmente em relação à oralidade. Apresentamos nossa experiência de campo em interação com um narrador urbano e analisamos uma situação ilustrativa. Concluímos que a concepção de uma poética da intervenção possibilita o estudo das circunstâncias de produção da narrativa, elucidando a formação do espaço enunciativo, condição para a constituição da narrativa e da dimensão estética. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: intervenção, narrativas orais, poética, enunciação, performance. ABSTRACT: This article begins by discussing epistemic perspectives opened up by the social sciences. We raise the possibility for literary studies to deal with forms of intervention allied with field work, especially the study of orality. We describe our experience in interacting with an urban storyteller and analyze a particular situation. We conclude that such a poetics of intervention makes possible the study of the narrative circumstances, clarifying the formation of an enunciative space, which is the condition for the production of the narrative and the aesthetic dimension. KEYWORDS: intervention – oral narratives – poetics – enunciation – performance

Abstract. Factorial survey experiments are increasingly used in the social sciences to investigate behavioral intentions. The measurement of self-reported behavioral intentions with factorial survey experiments frequently assumes that the determinants of intended behavior affect actual behavior in a similar way. We critically investigate this fundamental assumption using the misdirected email technique. Student participants of a survey were randomly assigned to a field experiment or a survey experiment. The email informs the recipient about the reception of a scholarship with varying stakes (full-time vs. book) and recipient’s names (German vs. Arabic). In the survey experiment, respondents saw an image of the same email. This validation design ensured a high level of correspondence between units, settings, and treatments across both studies. Results reveal that while the frequencies of self-reported intentions and actual behavior deviate, treatments show similar relative effects. Hence, although further research on this topic is needed, this study suggests that determinants of behavior might be inferred from behavioral intentions measured with survey experiments.
