Tania Forte valued writing the fictional, the autobiographical, the scientific. She strove to weave these routes together in shaping her life's journey through anthropology, though this did not yet emerge in her writing. Here I juxtapose three of Tania's texts that limn these routes, foregrounding her fascination with the fixed and the flowing, with differences between exteriority and interiority, between selves and others, between private and public.

Like the rice field, kingdom and kingship need to be made fertile, watered, transplanted, grown and harvested. The dynamics of cosmic process are interior; it is there, through deep and pervasive flowing, that form is forming, that growing is begun and form begins before it emerges onto the surface. The effect of the transformation is an even closer tie between the goddess and kingship, the tie of sister-goddess and brother-king. The major source of water is the great southwest monsoon that should end the dry season, usually arriving around mid-June. The world of Vizianagaram is an exteriorization from within the cosmos during this period when Paiditalli comes closest to exteriorizing herself in this way. The first parts or qualities of Paiditalli to be swung away are those of Pot/Mud-Paiditalli. Tantric Yogis had a major role in the life of the Vizianagaram court alongside the wrestlers and tiger dancers and poets.Keywords: goddess of kingship; Paiditalli; rice; Tantric Yogis; Vizianagaram

The modern Olympic Games were founded in the late 19th century with values of egalitarianism, brotherhood, and competition foremost in mind, in some ways close to those of the 18th-century French revolutionaries yet intended officially as utterly apolitical in their application. The Olympic authorities established regulations with which to govern the management of Olympic organization and the rules whereby athletes competed in the Games. In effect, the Olympic authorities began to shape a bureaucracy for Olympic sport and manned this assemblage with officials, just as other officials supervised and adjudicated the competitions themselves. Bureaucracies manage and control by receiving, creating, and modifying classifications by which to order, organize, and surveil realities. The Olympics are no exception. Though the values of the Olympics are given pride of place in discussions of the significance of the Games in the modern era, the bureaucratic ethos of surveillance is no less central to the existence of the Games, indeed is “native” to the Games, to their selections and competitions. I emphasize this point because surveillance is the closest of kin to securitization.

Israel’s Declaration of Independence (14 May 1948) is an origin myth of the state. This myth lays out in chronological order the unbroken unity of the Jewish people during the longue duree of three millenia (see Gross 1985 on temporality and the state). Zionist in ethos and aim, this myth begins with the birth of the Jewish people in the ancient ‘Land of Israel’; progresses to the formation of their independence, national identity, and culture; delineates their exile into diaspora and dispersal during subsequent millennia; confronts their near annihilation in the Holocaust; and then celebrates their return to the Land and their triumphal, national rebirth through the founding of the State of Israel. The Declaration enjoins the state to encompass the Jewish people as its citizens, but also calls on the ‘Arab inhabitants’ of the state to become full and equal citizens with them. This document declares Israel to be a Jewish state, but one that ‘will uphold the full social and political equality of all its citizens, without distinction of race, creed or sex…’
