Keynote Lecture by Magnus Marsden
University of Sussex, Great Britain
Diplomacy and Civility: Trust and dissimulation
in transnational Afghan trading networks
Venue: Freud House
Kostyantynivska street, 21, second floor
The lecture will explore the relationship between civility
and diplomacy in the transnational commercial activities
of traders from Afghanistan. The commodity traders on
which the lecture focuses – most of whom are involved
in the export and wholesale of commodities made
in China - form long-distance networks that crisscross
multiple parts of Asia and are rooted in multiple
trading nodes across the region, including the Chinese
commercial city of Yiwu, Moscow, and Odessa. Much
scholarship associates both diplomacy and civility
with impression management and dissimulation and
therefore identifies such modes of behavior as being
inimical to the fashioning of enduring ties of trust.
Analysis of ethnographic material concerning the traders’
understandings of being diplomatic as well as the ways
in which they seek to conform to contested local notions
of civility, however, furnishes unique insights into the
ways in which they build the social relationships and ties
of trust on which their commercial activities depend.
By exploring the interrelationship between civility and
diplomacy, I aim to move anthropological debate beyond
the question of whether civility is either a form of artifice
premised on performance or a deeper ethical virtue
in and of itself. It suggests, rather, the extent to which
ambiguity, ambivalence, contradiction, and imperfection
are an inbuilt aspect of the ways in which respect is
communicated and evaluated, and ties of trust fashioned
and maintained.
