Title Individualization and the ethopolitics of conflict in rural Angola ?
Author Baptista, João Afonso ?
Abstract In this article, my goal is to contribute to the debate about the relation between sociality and individualization. It is under this perspective that I discuss the subject of conflict as social relationing. Concretely, I explore how everyday experiences of conflict between ‘individuals’ in an Angolan rural village can neutralize contemporary threats of asocialization between those same individuals and, in turn, promote commonality. I refer to this affective agency in present-day rural Angola as the ethopolitics of conflict. Although I approach the two subjects, this article is not specifically about individualization or conflict. Rather, it is about the social terrain where the two intersect. ?
