    Abstract: Watchfulness shapes many Chicanxs` and other People of Color`s everyday lives in San Diego. Experiencing racist discrimination can lead to becoming vigilant, which frames their subjectivity. Focusing particularly on Chicanxs, we show how they seek to intervene against structural inequalities and threats in their lives, such as by re-claiming space, consciousness raising, participating in protests, and healing practices. We argue that contestations surrounding belonging create particularly watchful selves and that this is a significant aspect of borderland lifeworlds more broadly.The book advances the Anthropology of borders, coloniality, subjectivity, and race, as well as contributing to Chicano and Latino Studies, and Urban Studies. Pushing the boundaries of conventional approaches, this book is methodologically innovative by including team fieldwork, digital ethnography, and illustrative work by a local artist. It fills a gap in Security Studies by examining peer-to-peer vigilance beyond top-down surveillance and bottom-up "sousveillance," and expanding previous understandings of watchfulness as an ambivalent practice that can also express care and contribute to community building, as well as representing a "way of life."

    Abstract: TSANTSA's special issue "Engaged Anthropology in and beyond Switzerland" aims to shed light on and recognize the full potential of engaged anthropology and its place in academia and beyond. It argues for an inclusive approach to be both theoretically enriching and methodologically grounded in diverse practices and forms. The introduction addresses common confusions and obstacles distracting engaged anthropology from its core premises and potentials. As the Interface Commission of the Swiss Anthropological Association (SEG), we seek to deepen the conversation about how engagement bolsters the discipline to stay relevant and robust, and embark on new paths of theoretical reflection. By "repositioning" engaged anthropology at the heart of contemporary anthropology, we seek to overcome unproductive dichotomies on engagements and practices by embracing critical reflexivity in the process of knowledge production and social action.

    Abstract: Nothing lasts forever. This common experience is the source of much anxiety but also hope. The concept of impermanence or continuous change opens up a range of timely questions and discussions that speak to globally shared experiences of transformation and concerns for the future. Impermanence engages with an emergent body of social theory emphasizing flux and transformation, and brings this into a dialogue with other traditions of thought and practice, notably Buddhism that has sustained a long-lasting and sophisticated meditation on impermanence.In cases drawn from all over the world, this volume investigates the significance of impermanence in such diverse contexts as social death, atheism, alcoholism, migration, ritual, fashion, oncology, museums, cultural heritage and art. The authors draw on a wide range of disciplines, including anthropology, archaeology, art history, Buddhist studies, cultural geography and museology. This volume also includes numerous photographs, artworks and poems that evocatively communicate notions and experiences of impermanence. (Umschlagtext)

    Abstract: This volume comprises a curated conversation between members of the Material Culture Section of UCL Anthropology. Many of the chapters explicitly lay out the state of play in the field, challenging how the anthropology of material culture is being done, and arguing for new directions of enquiry or new methods of investigation. The contributors foreground research methods, with many of the contributors exploring the ramifications of specific methods, and exploring new methodological frameworks to address areas of human experience that require a new analytical approach.The 15 original case studies draw from a range of research contexts, including digital objects, infrastructure, digital objects, data, extra-terrestriality, ethnographic curation, medical materiality, and include timely reappraisals of now classical analytical models that have shaped the way we understand the object, the discipline, knowledge formation, and the artefact.

    Abstract: This rich and detailed ethnographic study analyses the formation and spread of the Sungusungu movement that arose in the early 1980s among the Sukuma-Nyamwezi people in west-central Tanzania, south of Lake Victoria. In the wake of the international oil crisis in the 1970s, aggravated by the costly war with Uganda, Tanzania experienced a peroiod of deep economic and social crisis with inflation, collapsing markets, a shortage of basic commodities and a breakdown of law and order; signified by increasing levels of violent crime, such as organized cattle theft and banditry in the rural areas. Against this backdrop, people began to organize and arm themselves to cope with the disintegrating and malevolent forces they were experiencing, not only as an existential threat to their daily lives but to society at large, The quest for everday peace (mhola) was omnipresent when the Sungusungu movement swept like a bush-fire from village to villlage. Within only a couple of years, several million people were involved in or at least affected by the Sungusungu movement, whose emergence constituted a generic moment that sparked a process with far-reaching social, political and judicial repercussions. Based on long-term filedwork engagements and extensive literature review, Per Brandström analyses the trajectory of the movement from its early emergence as a genuine localized popular movement to an institution for community policing under state supervision and control.

    Abstract: In this ethnographic study of post-paternalist ruination and renovation, Christian Straube explores social change at the intersection of material decay and social disconnection in the former mine township Mpatamatu of Luanshya, one of the oldest mining towns on the Zambian Copperbelt. Touching on topics including industrial history, colonial town planning, social control and materiality, gender relations and neoliberal structural change, After Corporate Paternalism offers unique insights into how people reappropriate former corporate spaces and transform them into personal projects of renovation, fundamentally changing the characteristics of their community.

    Keywords: Indien Süd-Indien ; Tamile ; Film ; Lied ; Ethnographie ; Ethnolinguistik ; Anthropologie, visuelle
    Abstract: To produce the song sequences that are central to Indian popular cinema, singers` voices are first recorded in the studio and then played back on the set to be lip-synced and danced to by actors and actresses as the visuals are filmed. Since the 1950s, playback singers have become revered celebrities in their own right. Brought to Life by the Voice explores the distinctive aesthetics and affective power generated by this division of labor between onscreen body and offscreen voice in South Indian Tamil cinema. In Amanda Weidman`s historical and ethnographic account, playback is not just a cinematic technique, but a powerful and ubiquitous element of aural public culture that has shaped the complex dynamics of postcolonial gendered subjectivity, politicized ethnolinguistic identity, and neoliberal transformation in South India.

    Abstract: Till Förster's paper asks how existential transformations are experienced, lived, remembered and conceived by the people, but also by ethnographers. Förster aims at capturing "la longue durée" of his fieldwork among the Senufo in northern Côte d`Ivoire, West Africa, by reproducing the messiness and often inconsistency of ethnographic experience.(Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: Seit geraumer Zeit, nicht zuletzt unter dem Einfluss des Klimawandels, nimmt das Interesse der Ethnologie an den Methoden einiger Nachbardisziplinen im Sinne der interdisziplinären Zusammenarbeit zu. Hierbei spielen die Geographie und in besonderem Maße fernerkundliche Methoden sowie räumliche Analysen eine herausragende Rolle. Ebenso wie, im Kontext diachroner Analysen, die Methoden der Geoarchäologie zur Erfassung der lokalen Historie. Um diese Forschungsansatze den Studierenden der Ethnologie nahezubringen habe ich Frau Mirijam Zickel gebeten mir ihre Masterarbeit, die von Herrn Prof. Dr. Georg Bareth und Frau Dr. Astrid Röpke betreut und mit dem zweiten Platz des Dr. Prill Preises 2020 der Gesellschaft für Erdkunde ausgezeichnet wurde, in leicht veränderter Form, für meine Reihe zur Verfügung zu stellen. Nach einer allgemeinen Darstellung der Methoden der Fernerkundung zeigt Frau Zickel am Beispiel transhumanter Ait Atta auf deren Sommerweiden im Hohen Atlas, wie durch die räumliche Analyse von Fernerkundungsdaten und unter Einbezug von geoarchäologischen Informationen, Erkenntnisse uber die Aufenthaltsplätze der Nomaden im Sommerlager gewonnen werden können. Hierbei zeigt sich, dass die Viehpferche der Nomaden eine zentrale Rolle für die räumliche und zeitliche Erfassung von Transhumanz im Untersuchungsgebiet spielen können. Weiterhin ist es ihr gelungen, mit unterschiedlichen, einander ergänzenden Methoden der Fernerkundung die ökologische Situation des Gebietes und insbesondere der Pferchstandorte zu beleuchten. Ihre Arbeit eröffnet eine neue Perspektive, um die Mensch-Umweltbeziehung im semiariden Bergland von Marokko zu erfassen. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: Wie wirkt sich der aktuelle Islamdiskurs auf Bildungsbiografien junger Secondas aus? Wie beeinflussen unterschiedliche Differenzkategorien wie beispielsweise Gender und Religion die Bildungsbiografien? Wirken Sie intersektionell? Die Untersuchung legt dar, wie unterschiedlich junge Secondas aus der Schweiz mit der Herausforderung umgehen, als muslimische Frauen in einem tendenziell islamkritischen Umfeld bildungsbiografisch zu bestehen. Sie zeigt einerseits auf, mit welchen Bildungsbarrieren sie konfrontiert werden, andererseits legt sie basierend auf einer ethnographischen Forschung dar, wie die jungen Frauen auf unterschiedlichste "Taktiken" (De Certeau 1989) zurückgreifen, um auf bildungsbiografische Einschränkungen zu reagieren und diesen zu trotzen. Dabei wird diskutiert, inwiefern Religion als intersektionale, interdependente Analysekategorie gefasst werden kann.

    Abstract: THIS PRESENT THESIS concerns the lives of young men living in Swakopmund, Namibia: the 'uranium capital of the world'. The price of uranium on the international market depends in many ways on emotion and global sentiment - the way that geographically distant persons feel about nuclear things has an impact on the price-per-barrel of this radioactive sand. As such, changes in international regard for uranium and its associated industries - for example nuclear weapons or energy - have a deep impact at a local level, in places of extraction such as Swakopmund. This work is a study of men's relationships with others in the context of uranium mining; the geology of uranium inspires a deeper understanding of men's actions and feelings whilst also priming the notion of uranium as an actor itself. It is the first such work to explore a Namibian city located outside of the north of the country. It is focussed primarily on men, and especially on issues of relatedness and intimacy, questioning the forms that these take in Swakopmund as a city in which financial imbalance is exceptionally pronounced and also highly racialised, skewed in favour of European (white) settlers. Everyone in Swakopmund comes from elsewhere - with the exception of a very small minority - leaving behind the direct influence of the extended family. Away from extended kinship networks persons are, more-or-less, able to build the relationships that they want to, rather than following the wishes of their families. At the time of the fieldwork that this thesis is based on, the global price of uranium was significantly low, meaning that locally there were few full-time contracts available, with employment - when present - occurring largely on a temporary or short-term basis. As such, this dissertation places conceptions of relatedness and intimacy into the context of these global fluctuations, especially in terms of insecurity and risk. Rather than reinforce a notion of male hegemony, this work demonstrates that men are often subject to power structures which are not their own and that they are - more often than might be thought - scared, vulnerable and afraid. More than that, however, uranium is conceptualised as a monster, with various tentacles that reach out in order to grasp, influence and change parts of Namibian society in order to maintain its control over them. Each chapter is an exploration of one such tentacle, following the lines of different relationship types and situations in terms of the uranium industry itself, the home and family, formal and informal work, and friendship. In conclusion I point out that whilst geographical - and indeed, cultural - distance often hints at an intrinsic incommensurability between those who are 'here' and those who are 'there', the relationships formed by persons in Swakopmund are often not so geographically bound. A person's involvement in such an international market as that of uranium is clear evidence of that; uranium connects Swakopmund with those outside. Yet aside from working in industry, men also seek to make a multitude of new kin-connections, some of which remain local and some of which do not. By following the interpersonal and the intersubjective, this work sheds light on the new forms of intimacy and relatedness that manifest in Swakopmund and beyond. (Summary)

    Abstract: Unjust Conditions follows the lives and labors of poor mothers in rural Peru, richly documenting the ordeals they face to participate in mainstream poverty alleviation programs. Championed by behavioral economists and the World Bank, conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs are praised as efficient mechanisms for changing poor people's behavior. While rooted in good intentions and dripping with the rhetoric of social inclusion, CCT programs' successes ring hollow, based solely on metrics for children's attendance at school and health appointments. Looking beyond these statistics reveals a host of hidden costs for the mothers who meet the conditions. With a poignant voice and keen focus on ethnographic research, Tara Patricia Cookson turns the reader's gaze to women's care work in landscapes of grossly inadequate state investment, cleverly drawing out the tensions between social inclusion and conditionality.

    Description / Table of Contents: "Rejeté ou ignoré, devenu invisible, Elsdon Best (1856-1931) est à la fois un ancêtre exclu et une figure clé de l`histoire de l`anthropologie, ne serait-ce que pour avoir amené Marcel Mauss à découvrir le célèbre concept maori du hau. Ce Néo-Zélandais, homme des frontières et représentant majeur de l`ethnographie de sauvetage, est l`auteur d`une œuvre profuse qui aborde les sujets les plus variés. Il s`intéresse surtout à la spiritualité et la religiosité des Maoris qui imprégnaient leur existence à l`époque précoloniale. Influencé par des courants divergents, de l`évolutionnisme à la mythologie comparée, sa production est singulière et invite à une exégèse historiciste pour comprendre les enjeux de son projet anthropologique. Ce Carnet de Bérose met également en évidence l`actualité brûlante des archives de la discipline et les déchirements que provoque aujourd`hui l`héritage ethnographique laissé par Best, notamment dans le contexte néo-zélandais, et dans la communauté savante maorie elle-même. Si on peut difficilement douter de la sincérité de sa démarche, de son attachement aux anciens Maoris et de son admiration pour leur savoir, il est indéniable que leurs relations étaient perverties ou, pour le moins, rendues ambiguës par une situation coloniale profondément asymétrique. Non, décidément, l`histoire de l`anthropologie ne travaille pas que sur des sujets froids ou passéistes. Et l`on voit ici, autour d`une figure en passe de devenir une référence incontournable pour des raisons très éloignées du débat occidental sur le don et le hau maori, s`imbriquer les perspectives historiques et contemporaines. Comme l`écrit Herbert S. Lewis dans la préface : « L`histoire de la discipline et notre relation agitée avec les archives devraient être profondément marquées par la réflexion de Frederico D. Rosa autour du legs de l`ethnographe immémorial qu`est Elsdon Best. »"

    Description / Table of Contents: "En 1881, Antonio Machado y Álvarez (1846-1893) s`inspire des modèles européens, en particulier des postulats théoriques et de l`organisation institutionnelle de la Folk-Lore Society, pour promouvoir l`institutionnalisation des savoirs ethnographiques en Espagne. Élevé au sein d`une famille marquée par le patriotisme libéral, l`engagement progressiste et scientifique ? il est le fils de l`introducteur de Darwin en Espagne ?, ce double héritage façonne sa conception de la discipline folklorique et de son approche. Ses convictions républicaines de teinte fédéraliste l`incitent non pas à choisir le modèle de société centralisée des Britanniques, mais à constituer un réseau fédéral de sociétés régionales de folklore, mieux adapté, selon lui, à la réalité culturelle et territoriale espagnole. Son amour du peuple ? son premier nom de plume était Demófilo (l`ami du peuple) ? imprègne également sa démarche méthodologique. Son outil emblématique est la constitution de cartes topographiques traditionnelles qui présentent, à ses yeux, un double avantage : rechercher dans la mémoire traditionnelle les sources d`une histoire plus démocratique, mettre en relation territoire et histoire afin de faire émerger la diversité culturelle territoriale, entendue comme source de cohésion et de régénération. Son ambition fédératrice se traduit aussi sur le front européen, puisqu`il propose à ses condisciples Giuseppe Pitrè, Teófilo Braga et Paul Sébillot le projet de fonder une confédération des sociétés folkloriques des pays latins, envisagée comme contrepoids progressiste et démocratique à la conception de la discipline des Britanniques.Cet ouvrage replace ainsi l`homme, sa trajectoire intellectuelle et son modèle folklorique populaire et idéaliste, tant dans l`histoire culturelle de l`Espagne du XIXe que dans l`histoire des savoirs ethnographiques en Europe."

    Abstract: The discovery of oil in Uganda in 2006 ushered in an oil-age era with new prospects of unforeseen riches. However, after an initial exploration boom developments stalled. Unlike other countries with major oil discoveries, Uganda has been slow in developing its oil. In fact, over ten years after the first discoveries, there is still no oil. During the time of the research for this book between 2012 and 2015, Uganda`s oil had not yet fully materialised but was becoming. The overarching characteristic of this research project was waiting for the big changes to come: a waiting characterised by indeterminacy. There is a timeline but every year it gets expanded and in 2018 having oil still seems to belong to an uncertain future. This book looks at the waiting period as a time of not-yet-ness and describes the practices of future- and resource-making in Uganda. How did Ugandans handle the new resource wealth and how did they imagine their future with oil to be? This ethnography is concerned with Uganda`s oil and the way Ugandans anticipated different futures with it: promising futures of wealth and development and disturbing futures of destruction and suffering. The book works out how uncertainty was an underlying feature of these anticipations and how risks and risk discourses shaped the imaginations of possible futures. Much of the talk around the oil involved the dichotomy of blessing or curse and it was not clear, which one the oil would be. Rather than adding another assessment of what the future with oil will be like, this book describes the predictions and prophesies as an essential part of how resources are being made. This ethnography shows how various actors in Uganda, from the state, the oil industry, the civil society, and the extractive communities, have tried to negotiate their position in the oil arena. Annika Witte argues in this book that by establishing their risks and using them as power resources actors can influence the becoming of oil as a resource and their own place in a petro-future. The book offers one of the first ethnographic accounts of Uganda`s oil and the negotiations that took place in an oil state to be. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: Les premières années du vingtième siècle sont fertiles en moments, événements et publications qui, rétrospectivement, dénotent tous la recomposition en cours de la « science de l`homme », comme l`appelaient alors ses protagonistes. Une effervescence institutionnelle caractérise ce champ scientifique qui voit une autonomisation accrue de plusieurs disciplines marquant chacune leur territoire et leurs ambitions, parallèlement à un affaiblissement du magistère de l`anthropologie physique. Dans la division du travail scientifique, la pratique ethnographique gagne progressivement en légitimité. L`intensité des débats sur les origines et les formes des religions primitives bouscule la théologie catholique, en même temps qu`elle fait entendre une analyse savante et laïque des phénomènes religieux grâce à une attention grandissante accordée aux matériaux ethnographiques qui viennent nourrir la réflexion des historiens des religions, sociologues, philosophes, préhistoriens, anthropologues et linguistes.S`il s`agit bien d`une histoire disciplinaire qui est ici esquissée, elle tente de dépasser ce strict découpage pour rappeler que l`anthropologie fut au croisement de nombreuses disciplines qui ont également contribué à son émergence et à sa reconnaissance. Par ses multiples coups de sonde dans ce champ scientifique très dynamique, 1913, la recomposition de la science de l`homme propose un état des lieux certes incomplet mais suggestif des tensions, des enjeux, des rapports de force, des dialogues, des pratiques scientifiques, qui le structurent et l`animent. Les différents auteurs rassemblés ici font le pari de la pertinence heuristique de l`approche situationnelle, contextuelle, institutionnelle, pour une histoire de l`anthropologie qui s`intéresserait tout à la fois aux idées, aux revues, aux institutions de savoir, aux réseaux de sociabilité savante, aux acteurs qui n`eurent pas tous l`heur d`être sacrés pères fondateurs de la discipline.

    Abstract: Organisée par l`Institut d`ethnologie de l`université de Paris et par le Muséum national d`histoire naturelle, la mission ethnographique et linguistique Dakar-Djibouti (1931-1933) occupe une position ambiguë dans l`histoire de l`anthropologie : elle inaugure officiellement l`ère des grandes enquêtes de terrain de l`ethnologie française en même temps qu`elle clôt celle des grandes expéditions ethnographiques et naturalistes que les nations colonisatrices d`Europe occidentale avaient suscitées avant la Première Guerre mondiale. À ce titre, elle accuse le retard que, par rapport à ces nations, la France a pris dans le domaine des recherches ethnologiques de terrain, retard que Marcel Mauss avait déjà signalé en 1913 - mais en vain - et qui ne justifie guère la spectacularisation parfois exagérée que connut cette mission avant son départ en mai 1931. Ou, au contraire, elle la justifie pleinement puisqu`il s`agit d`une mission de « rattrapage » et, dans la foulée de l`Exposition coloniale internationale de Paris inaugurée en mai 1931, de se hausser, pour le gouvernement français qui va l`encadrer et la financer, au niveau des autres grandes puissances occidentales, fût-ce à coups de publicité, d`annonces, d`interviews, d`expositions et autres manifestations publiques, jusques et y compris un combat de boxe donné au bénéfice de la mission Dakar-Djibouti avant son départ. Cette position paradoxale n`est cependant pas la seule qu`on peut relever à propos de cette mission, dont les avancées méthodologiques et théoriques ne seront guère à la hauteur de l`important « butin muséographique » qu`elle rapporta au Musée d`ethnographie du Trocadéro, ancêtre du musée de l`Homme.

    Abstract: Mandatées pour réaliser une enquête sur l`Aurès et ses habitants par l`International Society of African Languages and Cultures de Londres et l`Institut d`ethnologie de Paris, alors dirigé par Lucien Lévy-Bruhl, Marcel Mauss et Paul Rivet, Thérèse Rivière et Germaine Tillion rejoignent le massif de l`Ahmar Khaddou et le pays chaouïa en janvier 1935. Elles y resteront deux ans. Nombre des matériaux recueillis lors de cette première mission ethnographique dans l`Aurès étaient demeurés inaccessibles jusqu`à leur redécouverte en 2006. Certains sont cependant définitivement perdus ; Th. Rivière et G. Tillion, pour des raisons différentes, la maladie pour l`une et la déportation pour l`autre, n`auront pu mener leurs recherches à terme. L`analyse de ces archives - plusieurs milliers de photographies, carnets de terrain et de dessins, correspondance, rapports de mission - révèle comment, tout en répondant aux exigences de leurs tutelles qui leur demandaient d`investir des domaines aussi différents que l`anthropologie physique, la botanique, la zoologie, l`archéologie ou la sociologie, les deux jeunes femmes affrontent cette première expérience du terrain et de la pratique ethnographique. La rencontre avec les Chaouïa, marquée par un engagement affectif intense, conduit Th. Rivière à l`illusion d`une possible immersion dans leur culture dont ses photographies gardent la trace. Elle porte en revanche G. Tillion, fidèle à l`idéal d`une Algérie française, à une réflexion d`ordre politique.

    Abstract: Deux ans après le retour de Dakar-Djibouti, Marcel Griaule prend la direction de la mission Sahara-Soudan afin de compléter les recherches et les collectes effectuées en pays dogon. Malgré sa brièveté, cette expédition transsaharienne est toujours conçue comme une exploration aventureuse de sociétés africaines incarnant, aux yeux des ethnographes, une tradition originelle à archiver dans l`urgence. En revanche, les objectifs et les méthodes d`enquête ont évolué. Pour ce second séjour en pays dogon, Griaule et ses collègues ne visent plus l`inventaire exhaustif d`une culture, mais la découverte d`objets et de secrets millénaires cachés au fond de grottes ou de « sanctuaires » systématiquement fouillés (après leur repérage aérien ou terrestre). Cette nouvelle orientation - pénétrer au cœur des mythes et du « sacré » - ne se prête guère à la pluridisciplinarité, favorise l`émergence d`informateurs privilégiés et annonce les futurs engagements de Marcel Griaule pour promouvoir et sauvegarder les traditions d`une Afrique authentique dont il serait à la fois le spécialiste et le porte-parole

    Abstract: "Portée sur les fonts baptismaux par une hypothèse sensationnelle qui laissait augurer la découverte d`une écriture néolithique, la mission franco-belge Métraux-Lavachery à l`île de Pâques tint toutes ses promesses, mais d`une façon inattendue qui mit en déroute ses parrains en ce qu`elle les désavoua. Alfred Métraux et Henri Lavachery accostèrent fin juillet 1934 dans un lieu lourdement chargé d`histoires, indigène, coloniale, scientifique, qui s`enchevêtraient étroitement pour conférer à l`île de Pâques le statut de paradis perdu, a fortiori pour des ethnologues avides de pureté culturelle, d`authenticité inviolée. En 1934, les deux savants eurent affaire à une société déjà très ethnologisée, un « vieil os rongé » (Métraux) qui mettait au défi l`impératif de sauvetage ethnographique à la racine de toute mission ethnographique dans ces premières décennies du XXe siècle. C`est peu de dire que les conséquences des terribles exactions perpétrées dans les années 1860, la situation coloniale de l`île de Pâques, son statut de lieu mystérieux qui aimante explorateurs et savants, affectaient puissamment la façon dont le savoir ethnographique était recueilli auprès des informateurs indigènes - tout autant que la nature même de ce savoir. Valorisant de nombreuses archives inédites, cet ouvrage fait une large place à la restitution du déroulement pratique de la mission, insistant tout particulièrement sur la qualité de la relation ethnographique nouée avec Juan Tepano et Victoria Rapahongo. Il rappelle l`importance des recherches archéologiques et ethnologiques menées par Alfred Métraux et Henri Lavachery en les resituant dans leur contexte, la vigueur de la polémique sur la nature du rongorongo, et le statut ambigu accordé à la production contemporaine d`objets d`art pascuan. Comptant parmi les missions ethnographiques françaises des années 1930 effectuées hors du pré colonial français, la mission Métraux-Lavachery propulsa définitivement les études rapanui sur une orbite scientifique internationale."

    Abstract: Si, en Nouvelle-Calédonie, exemple type d`une civilisation de l`igname, les Kanak assuraient leur autosubsistance essentiellement par l`horticulture des plantes à tubercules, la pêche n`y jouait pas moins un rôle important. Activité presque exclusivement masculine, elle était surtout le fait de certains groupes de parenté, les clans dits pêcheurs, qui pratiquaient généralement ensemble cette activité coutumière pour nourrir la population et assurer les échanges coutumiers, même si une autre pêche, plus individuelle et d`autosubsistance, pouvait être pratiquée par tout un chacun à la condition qu`elle ne vise pas les poissons coutumiers. Détenteurs des pouvoirs rituels indispensables à la pratique de la pêche, les clans pêcheurs avaient également en charge la fabrique des engins nécessaires à la pratique de leur activité, pirogues comprises. Dans cet ouvrage d`anthropologie maritime, l`auteur nous présente un inventaire des techniques de pêche traditionnelle et leurs évolutions techniques depuis la colonisation. Elle en replace les pratiques dans l`organisation sociale de l`île des Pins et de Goro (au sud de la Grande Terre), de façon à mettre en lumière les rôles et les fonctions des clans pêcheurs au sein des ensembles sociopolitiques dans lesquels ils s`inscrivent, chaque unité de parenté étant détentrice d`un rang et d`une responsabilité sociale, politique et religieuse (maître de la terre, guetteur-messager, gardien de magies, orateur, etc.). La fonction de pêcheur peut être détenue par des groupes de différents statuts politiques (chef, ancien, guerrier...), dont l`autorité vient de la possession des rituels et magies propitiatoires correspondantes.

    Abstract: Joannis Cornelis Verschueren (1905-1970) worked as a Roman Catholic missionary in southern Irian from 1931 until 1970. In the 1950s he wrote a number of papers on the Yéi. These papers, based on older field notes and a research trip through the area, are recapitulated in this volume. Verschueren provides genuine inside information and his data are new and authentic. The four papers in this volume create a picture of a typical lowland culture with a surprising emphasis on headhunting, an uncommon way of segregating the sexes, and a highly elaborated system of phallic symbolism. Topics discussed in this volume are territorial, clan and moiety organization; kinship, marriage and conjugal life; the founding myths of Yéi-nan ritual and other rituals; initiation; sickness and healing; death, burial and mortuary feasts; other ceremonies.

    Abstract: In the Sepik Basin of Papua New Guinea, ritual culture was dominated by the Tambaran —a male tutelary spirit that acted as a social and intellectual guardian or patron to those under its aegis as they made their way through life. To Melanesian scholarship, the cultural and psychological anthropologist, Donald F. Tuzin, was something of a Tambaran, a figure whose brilliant and fine-grained ethnographic project in the Arapesh village of Ilahita was immensely influential within and beyond New Guinea anthropology. Tuzin died in 2007, at the age of 61. In his memory, the editors of this collection commissioned a set of original and thought provoking essays from eminent and accomplished anthropologists who knew and were influenced by his work. They are echoes of the Tambaran.The anthology begins with a biographical sketch of Tuzin`s life and scholarship. It is divided into four sections, each of which focuses loosely around one of his preoccupations. The first concerns warfare history, the male cult and changing masculinity, all in Melanesia. The second addresses the relationship between actor and structure. Here, the ethnographic focus momentarily shifts to the Caribbean before turning back to Papua New Guinea in essays that examine uncanny phenomena, narratives about childhood and messianic promises. The third part goes on to offer comparative and psychoanalytic perspectives on the subject in Fiji, Bali, the Amazon as well as Melanesia. Appropriately, the last section concludes with essays on Tuzin`s fieldwork style and his distinctive authorial voice. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: Das Buch schildert die verschlungenen Wege der Meeresschnecke Melo im Westteil der Insel Neuguinea, in der indonesischen Provinz Papua. Zahlreiche Etappen dieser Wege durch die zerklüfteten und schwer zugänglichen Bergtäler und an der Südküste der Insel, aber auch in Museumssammlungen in Europa hat die Autorin selbst verfolgt und erforscht. Die Meeresschnecke Melo ist in den Küstengewässern Neuguineas beheimatet. Die kulturellen Erscheinungsformen ihrer Schale wurden aber, wie Museumsobjekte in europäischen Sammlungen belegen, auch in weit abgelegenen Tälern des Hochlandes im Innern der Insel gefunden. Auf den Spuren der Melo-Schnecke hat die Autorin Verbindungen hergestellt zwischen "immobilen" Museumsobjekten im "Hier" und dynamischen kulturellen Aneignungs- und Umdeutungsprozessen im "Dort". So war es ihr möglich, frühkoloniale Verhältnisse, Handelswege, Tauschaktionen, Verwendungs- und Bearbeitungsformen in Neuguinea nachzuzeichnen und mit aktuellen Erscheinungsformen der Schale, etwa im katholischen oder touristischen Kontext, zu kontrastieren. In einer Reihe von Essays beschreibt sie Etappen von Wegen der Melo- Schnecke, die räumlich und zeitlich an unterschiedlichen Punkten einsetzen und enden. Literarisch gefärbte Passagen wechseln sich dabei mit unterschiedlichen theoretischen Ansätzen ab. So ist es gerade das Fragmentarische dieser Ethnografie, welches das Thema immer wieder neu und auf spannende Art zu beleuchten vermag. (Verlagsangabe)

    Abstract: World War I marks a well-known turning point in anthropology, and this volume is the first to examine the variety of forms it took in Europe. Distinct national traditions emerged and institutes were founded, partly due to collaborations with the military. Researchers in the cultural sciences used war zones to gain access to »informants«: prisoner-of-war and refugee camps, occupied territories, even the front lines. Anthropologists tailored their inquiries to aid the war effort, contributed to interpretations of the war as a »struggle« between »races«, and assessed the »warlike« nature of the Balkan region, whose crises were key to the outbreak of the Great War.

    Abstract: hospitable to qualitative methods of research. Lauding the results of this effort and highlighting its potential for the future, Political Ethnography makes a compelling case for one such method in particular. Ethnography, the contributors amply demonstrate in a wide range of original essays, is uniquely suited for illuminating the study of politics.Situating these pieces within the context of developments in political science, Edward Schatz provides an overarching introduction and substantive prefaces to each of the volume`s four sections. The first of these parts addresses the central ontological and epistemological issues raised by ethnographic work, while the second grapples with the reality that all research is conducted from a first-person perspective. The third section goes on to explore how ethnographic research can provide fresh perspectives on such perennial topics as opinion, causality, and power. Concluding that political ethnography can and should play a central role in the field as a whole, the final chapters illuminate the many ways in which ethnographic approaches can enhance, improve, and, in some areas, transform the study of politics.

    Abstract: This publication of Remaining Karen is intended as a tribute to Ananda Raja and his consummate skills as an ethnographer. It is also a tribute to his long-term engagement in the study of the Karen. Remaining Karen was Ananda Raja`s first focused study of the Sgaw Karen of Palokhi in northern Thailand, which he submitted in 1986 for this PhD in the Department of Anthropology in the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies at The Australian National University. It is a work of superlative ethnography set in an historical and regional context and as such retains its value to the present. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: This important textbook provides a critical introduction to the social anthropology of religion, focusing on more recent classical ethnographies. Comprehensive, free of scholastic jargon, engaging, and comparative in approach, it covers all the major religious traditions that have been studied concretely by anthropologists - Shamanism, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Christianity and its relation to African and Melanesian religions and contemporary Neopaganism. Eschewing a thematic approach and treating religion as a social institution and not simply as an ideology or symbolic system, the book follows the dual heritage of social anthropology in combining an interpretative understanding and sociological analysis. The book will appeal to all students of anthropology, whether established scholars or initiates to the discipline, as well as to students of the social sciences and religious studies, and for all those interested in comparative religion.
