SUMMARY:PLAS Graduate Works in Progress
DESCRIPTION:“Argentine Consumer Capitalism and its Discontents: Advertising\, Television\, and the Commodification of Attention” \nPresenter: Pablo Pryluka\, Ph.D. Candidate\, History \nIn 1973\, a new Peronist coalition won the national elections in Argentina. Having spent 18 years of exile in Spain\, Juan Domingo Perón returned to his native country backed by a political agreement between trade unions and the Confederación General Empresaria. Together\, this coalition promised to achieve what it called “national liberation.” Under the banner of national liberation\, the government tried to mitigate what it considered to be the pernicious effects of advertising: the creation of “false” needs and superfluous patterns of consumption. Implementing price controls\, the Subsecretary of Commerce prohibited corporations from including advertising expenditures in the business costs that would be factored into newly fixed sale prices. \n“Compensatory Politics” \nPresenter: Lindsay Ofrias\, Ph.D. Candidate\, Anthropology \nLindsay Ofrias is a Ph.D. candidate in anthropology. Her dissertation examines the political economy of environmental contamination and people’s struggles for conservation and survival in the extractive frontier of the Ecuadorian Amazon.

SUMMARY:PLAS Graduate Works in Progress
DESCRIPTION:“The Making of Paranoid Working Class” \nPresented by: Brandon Hunter\, Ph.D. Candidate\, Anthropology \nThis presentation traces the making of a working-class consciousness among taxi drivers employed in the tourism sector in the town of Playa del Carmen\, MX. Based on two years of ethnographic fieldwork with the city’s only taxi driver union\, Brandon shows how drivers’ direct and indirect involvement in the local vice economy generated a critical understanding of the entanglements between crime\, political corruption\, and licit capitalist relations. Drivers’ proximity to organized crime was not only the result of the prominent role drug dealing and other forms of vice play in the tourism economy\, but reflected an uneasy alliance struck between leaders in the taxi union and local criminal elements. While some drivers economically benefited from this arrangement\, he underscores the emotional\, psychological\, and sometimes even physical toll this took on drivers. Brandon observes that the working-class consciousness that emerges from this social milieu is on the one hand deeply anti-capitalist\, and yet also affectively paranoid. Drawing from Eve Sedgwick’s critique of paranoid readings\, he argues that drivers’ paranoia is both the source of their critical\, working-class consciousness\, and at the same time limits its emancipatory potential. \n“Band-Aid Solutions: Competition\, Capacity\, and Unequal Health Care Provision in Brazil” \nPresented by: Beatriz Barros\, Ph.D. Candidate\, Politics \nPublic works are often considered attractive tools for incumbents\, either because of their visibility to voters\, their value to corporate allies\, or both. Theories of democratic accountability predict that politicians in electorally competitive municipalities will build more schools\, pave more roads\, and break ground on more clinics than their counterparts in less-competitive areas. In other words\, these theories expect politicians to maximize credit-claiming opportunities. The empirical reality is less clear. Latin American governments routinely underinvest in infrastructure\, and the literature tying electoral competition to public goods provision produces mixed results. In this paper\, Beatriz argues that the visibility and salience of public works can paradoxically induce their underprovision. Public works are technically complex and can take months or years to conclude – if they are concluded at all. Consequently\, politicians in electorally competitive\, low capacity municipalities become blame minimizers. Using fine-grained municipal health budget data and a novel dataset on primary care clinic construction and renovation projects\, she shows that administrative capacity moderates the effect of electoral competition on health care investment. Rather than investing in public works for which the risk of electorally costly implementation failure is high\, blame minimizing politicians overspend on personnel and consumable goods and are less likely to initiate new construction projects. \nThis in-person workshop is open to Princeton University ID holders only. Registration is required to attend. REGISTER HERE \nMasking is required for all in-person attendance in accordance with current University COVID-19 mitigation policies.
