| Summary/Abstract |
The safeguarding of heritage is touted as an important step in protecting cultural diversity. The emphasis heritage projects put on preservation, however, obscures the part they play in transformation. This article argues that heritagization can be viewed as a kind of Bildung that draws diverse practices tied to diverse worldviews and value systems into a space of equivalency and civil society, amenable to capitalist social relations. Drawing on research on a Hungarian folk revival movement, the article calls for comparative research on how heritagization depoliticizes the very effects of neoliberal capitalism that it addresses and offers solutions that may be tied to dispossession.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article is a response to Anthony King’s “Women Warriors: Female Accession to Ground Combat.” King rightly asserts that the accession of women to combat roles is a notable historical departure in warfighting. He critiques Brownson’s conceptual ideal of “equivalency” as a potentially profound force of transformation of gender relations in the military. While conceptually progressive, he errs in framing the potential transformation within the concept of “patriarchy.” Further, King is unable to recast binary gendered language to acknowledge fully the concept of “kinship.” For females to maximally succeed in the military, and particularly in combat roles, patriarchy as the defining explanation for male–female interaction must be discarded and the enabling concepts of equivalency and kinship must be embraced. The continued strength of military organizations and the individuals within them emerges from the reciprocity of these two concepts.

| Summary/Abstract |
In a recent article on female marines in the US Marine Corps, Connie Brownson has proposed the concept of equivalency rather than equality as a way of understanding their integration into the organization. Because of their almost inevitable physical inferiority to their male comrades, women cannot be regarded as fully equal in a Corps that prioritizes physical strength. However, they are respected and accepted as equivalent if they can perform their specialist military roles with competence and professionalism. This response examines the question of equivalence to assess its adequacy to contemporary gender transformations in the military.
