“…Originated in anthropology (see, e.g., Douglas, 1982Douglas, , 1996 and elaborated in multiple other disciplines (see, e.g., Hood, 2000;Schwarz & Thompson, 1990;Swedlow, 2014;Verweij, 2011Verweij, , 2023, grid group CT proposes a functionalist account for the emergence, survival and decay of ways of life (Thompson et al, 2019). It follows an interpretivist philosophy of science (Hoppe, 2007).…”

“…Come what may, uncertainty included, this outlook is optimistic. The world is knowable (Douglas, 1996), and thus, challenges can be faced with confidence. Even if currently there are no answers for the questions posed, it is a matter of time for them to emerge.…”

Development models are disputed in the global South and North, as evidenced by recent protests advancing different desirable social ends and means. The diversity of development ideas suggests it is a wicked problem, requiring clumsy solutions. Employing grid group cultural theory, this article elucidates that plurality and indicates ways to harness it. Four irreducible, ideal‐typical notions of development are found: market‐led individual prosperity, state‐led system‐wide welfare, alternatives of community‐led equal welfare with ecological conservation and a mirage. Clumsy development models secure legitimacy and effectiveness by engaging all worldviews, including their distinct pathways to clumsiness or messy institutions.

“…We yearn for what we imagine to have been beautiful, true and good, a form of life that we have lost and sacrificed for modernization and individuality. But for people who actually experience a real community, with all of the weight of its hierarchies and rigidities, its monotonous routines and its normative constraints their response is very often Siobhán's response, the response of generations of peasants everywhere, whether from Albania or Sardinia or the Steppes or Inisherin, which isget out while you can; or else give in, don't speak up, practice reticence (Douglas, 1996) and avoid the consequence of not doing thisviolent schismogenesis; but as a consequence, having to live with the entrapment of complementary schismogenesis. Ultimately, Siobhán is the heroic figure of The Banshees of Inisherin, the character who resonates most strongly with audiences everywhere.…”
