Abstract
Anthropology offers a radical rethinking of the state when it interrogates itself about what would constitute an Ethnography of the state. Western Political Theory has conceived the state as a rational administrative form of political organization and order. One of the effects of thinking the state in terms of ordermaking functions is that the spatial and social margins that so often constitute the terrain of ethnographic fieldwork are seen as sites of disorder, where the state has been unable to impose its order. However, reversing the question is also possible, therefore interrogating what is the state when it is seen as embedded in practices, places and languages considered to be at the margins of the nation-state. From the anthropological point of view, margins provides an unique perspective to the understanding of the state, not because it captures the exotic practices of the so considered "failed states", but because it suggests that such margins are a necessary entailment of the state, and in so doing, invites us to rethink the boundaries between center and periphery, public and private, legal and illegal.
Die Anthropologie bietet ein radikales Umdenken des Staates, wenn sie der Frage nachgeht, was eine Ethnografie des Staates konstituieren würde. Die westliche Politische Theorie hat den Staat als rationale administrative Form politischer Organisation und Ordnung begriffen. Eine der Folgen, den Staat im Hinblick auf ordnungsstiftende Funktionen zu denken, besteht darin, dass die räumlichen und sozialen Ränder, die so oft das Terrain ethnografischer Feldforschung bilden, als Orte der Unordnung angesehen werden, an denen der Staat unfähig war, seine Ordnung durchzusetzen. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, die Frage umzukehren und somit zu untersuchen, was der Staat ist, wenn er als eingebettet in Praktiken, Orte und Sprachen verstanden wird, die als an den Rändern des Nationalstaates situiert gelten. Aus anthropologischer Sicht bieten Ränder eine einzigartige Perspektive für das Verständnis des Staates – nicht, weil sie die exotischen Praktiken der sogenannten „gescheiterten Staaten“ abbilden, sondern weil sie nahelegen, dass solche Ränder eine notwendige Konsequenz des Staates darstellen, und uns dadurch auffordern, die Grenzen zwischen Zentrum und Peripherie, öffentlich und privat, legal und illegal neu zu überdenken.
