    Abstract: Examines the paradoxes of kinship in the lives of unauthorized African migrants as they struggle for mobility, employment, and citizenship in Europe.In a rapidly changing and highly precarious context, unauthorized African migrants turn to kinship in search of security, stability, and predictability. Through the exchange of identity documents between "siblings," assistance in obtaining such documentation through kinship networks, and marriages that provide access to citizenship, new assemblages of kinship are continually made and remade to navigate the shifting demands of European states. These new kinship relations, however, often prove unreliable, taking on new, unexpected dynamics in the face of codependency; they become more difficult to control than those who entered into such relations could have imagined. Through unusually close ethnographic work in West African migrant communities in Amsterdam, Apostolos Andrikopoulos reveals unseen dynamics of kinship through shared papers, the tensions of race and gender that develop in mutually beneficial marriages, and the vast, informal networks of people, information, and documentation on which migrants rely. Throughout Argonauts of West Africa, Andrikopoulos demonstrates how inequality, exclusionary practices, and the changing policies of an often-violent state demand innovative ways of doing kinship to successfully navigate complex migration routes.

    Keywords: Anthropologie, soziale Mobilität, soziale ; Raum ; Frankreich ; Europa ; Ethnographie ; Bourdieu, Pierre [Leben und Werk]
    Abstract: French sociologist and anthropologist Pierre Bourdieu`s relevance for studies of spatiality and mobility has received less attention than other aspects of his work. Here, Deborah Reed-Danahay argues that the concept of social space, central to Bourdieu`s ideas, addresses the structured inequalities that prevail in spatial choices and practices. She provides an ethnographically informed interpretation of social space that demonstrates its potential for new directions in studies of mobility, immobility, and emplacement. This book traces the links between habitus and social space across the span of Bourdieu`s writings, and places his work in dialogue with historical and contemporary approaches to mobility.

    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: This collection of multi-disciplinary essays offers a fresh, perspective on Central Asian art and culture as it gains increased attention on both the local and international stage. Influenced by the golden ages of its history - from the ancient Scythians, through the glory of the Persians and Turks, and shaped by the Russian and later Soviet imperial powers - the region is revealed as exotic, dramatic, and universally topical. Contributions come from scholars and participants in the Central Asian cultural scene who specialise in different, often isolated, spheres. Their unifying theme is identity and its formation, including national, ethnic, cultural, religious and gender identities.Art and culture are shown to have active social roles - representing, analysing, questioning and supporting social upheavals and change. Culture is seen as an intrinsic part of society; while being affected by the specific historical context, it does at times affect it in return. From major socio-economic and political shifts, to smaller yet not less potent personal and individual identities, this collection demonstrates we are once again experiencing a time in which culture plays a crucial role in opening minds and facilitating change.

    Abstract: The African museum landscape is changing. A new generation of scholars and curators is setting international standards for the reappraisal and revision of colonial collections, the conception of curatorial spaces, and the integration of new groups of actors. In the face of the ghostly survival of colonial epistemologies in archives, displays, and architectures, it is a matter of breaking up institutional encrustations and infrastructures, inventing new museum practices, and bringing archives to life. Scholars and museum experts predominantly working in Africa and South America discuss the post/colonial history of museums, their political-economic entanglements, the significance of diasporic objects, as well as the prospects for restitution and its consequences. The contributions to this issue of ZfK are all presented in English.Based on the works of Waverly Duck and Anne Rawls, the debate section is devoted to forms of everyday racism and the way interaction orders of race are institutionalized.

    Abstract: "This book documents and analyzes the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic through queer and feminist perspectives. A testament of dispossessions as well as a celebration of various forms of resilience, community building and critical responses, it chronicles the social history of queer and trans persons and women in South Asia and the diasporas. Through a creative and collaborative form of ethnographic writing, the book enters in conversation with the worlds of domestic helps, caregivers, cultural workers, students, sex workers and other precariously employed people. It examines the confining effects of the pandemic on the lived realities of many queer and trans individuals, the caste-oppressed and women across socio-economic backgrounds. The chapters in the volume piece together narratives of prejudice, hardship, self-expression and resistance from interviews, personal accounts, as well as poems and stories from activists, artists and other collaborators. The book pays particular attention to issues of power and asymmetrical relationships amidst COVID-19 and offers critiques to deepen the understanding of the uneven fault lines within which historically oppressed persons reside in South Asia. Exploring themes of migration, disability and sexual politics, this book is an essential reading for scholars and researchers of gender and sexuality studies, cultural studies, South Asian studies, sociology and social anthropology"

    Abstract: Focusing on stunning paintings and engravings from around the world, Powerful Pictures interrogates the driving forces behind global rock art research. Many of the rock art motifs featured in the 16 chapters of this book were created by indigenous hunter-gatherer groups, and it sheds new light on non-Western rituals and worldviews, many of which are threatened or on the point of extinction. Stemming from a conference in Val Camonica in northern Italy, the book is arranged by continent, although it tackles how early research in some countries (e.g., Sweden, France, Spain, the USA, Canada, South Africa) influenced the trajectory of archaeological investigations in others (e.g., Australia, India, Mexico, Germany, Mongolia, Russia). All of the contributing authors have vast experience working with rock art and Indigenous communities, many of them holding posts in prestigious university departments around the world. The book will be of particular interest to professional historians, archaeologists, and anthropologists, and indeed anyone who is interested in art, symbolism, and the past.

    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: Museums, Societies and the Creation of Value focuses on the ways in which museums and the use of their collections have contributed to, and continue to be engaged with, value creation processes.Including chapters from many of the leading figures in museum anthropology, as well as from outstanding early-career researchers, this volume presents a diverse range of international case studies that bridge the gap between theory and practice. It demonstrates that ethnographic collections and the museums that hold and curate them have played a central role in the value creation processes that have changed attitudes to cultural differences. The essays engage richly with many of the important issues of contemporary museum discourse and practice. They show how collections exist at the ever-changing point of articulation between the source communities and the people and cultures of the museum and challenge presentist critiques of museums that position them as locked into the time that they emerged.Museums, Societies and the Creation of Value provides examples of the productive outcomes of collaborative work and relationships, showing how they can be mutually beneficial. The book will be of great interest to researchers and students engaged in the study of museums and heritage, anthropology, culture, Indigenous peoples, postcolonialism, history and sociology. It will also be of interest to museum professionals. (Verlagsangabe)

    Abstract: "Part anthropological history and part memoir, this book is a unique study of the polity of the colonial-princely state of Kanker in central India. The author, a scion of the erstwhile ruling family of Kanker, delves into the oral accounts given in the ancestral deity practices of the mixed tribe-caste communities of the region to highlight popular narratives of its historical polity. As he struggles with his own dilemmas as ethnographer-king, what comes into view is a polity where the princely state is drawn out amidst a terrain of gods and spirits as much as that of law courts and magistrates, and political power is divided, contested and shared between the raja/state and the people. This study constitutes not only an intervention in the larger debate on the relationship between state formations and tribal peoples, but also on the very nature of history as a knowledge practice, especially the understandings of power, authority and sovereignty in it. Combining intensive ethnography, complementary archival work and crucial theoretical questions engaging social scientists worldwide, the author charts an unusual explanatory path that can allow us to meaningfully understand societies/peoples that have historically been marginalized and seen as different. This book will be of interest to students and researchers of history, anthropology, politics, religion, tribal society and Modern South Asia"

    Abstract: Misunderstandings are often perceived as something to be avoided yet delineate an integrative part of everyday work. This book addresses the role that misunderstandings play in collaborative work and, above all, their effects on the organisational result. As exemplified by project collaboration across three offices of a multinational consulting firm in India, Frauke Mörike explores how misunderstandings shape the organisational system and why they prove not only necessary but even productive for organisational functioning. In doing so, she offers new ways to think about collaboration and establishes `misunderstanding' as key factor for an insight into the field of organisational research. (Umschlagtext)

    Abstract: Drawing on Indigenous methodologies, this book uses a close analysis of James R. Walker`s 1917 monograph on the Lakota Sun Dance to explore how the Sun Dance communal ritual complex - the most important Lakota ceremony - creates moral community, providing insights into the cosmology and worldview of Lakota tradition.The book uses Walker`s primary source to conduct a reading of the Sun Dance in its nineteenth-century context through the lenses of Lakota metaphysics, cosmology, ontology, and ethics. The author argues that the Sun Dance constitutes a cosmic ethical drama in which persons of all types - human and nonhuman - come together in reciprocal actions and relationships. Drawing on contemporary animist theory and a perspectivist approach that uses Lakota worldview assumptions as the basis for analysis, the book enables a richer understanding of the Sun Dance and its role in the Lakota moral world.Offering a nuanced understanding that centers Lakota views of the sacred, this book will be relevant to scholars of religion and animism, and all those interested in Native American cultures and lifeways.

    Abstract: This critical text is a timely ethnography of how global powers, local resistance, and capital flows are shaping contemporary African foodways. Ghana was one of the first countries targeted by a group of US donors and agribusiness corporations that funded an ambitious plan to develop genetically modified (GM) crops for African farmers. The collective believed that GM crops would help farmers increase their yields and help spark a "new" Green Revolution on the continent. Soon after the project began in Ghana, a nationwide food sovereignty movement emerged in opposition to GM crops. Today, in spite of impressive efforts and investments by proponents, only two GM crops remain in the pipeline. Why, after years of preparation, millions of dollars of funding, and multiple policy reforms, did these megaprojects effectively come to a halt? One of the first ethnographies to take on the question of GM crops in the African context, We Are Not Starving: The Struggle for Food Sovereignty in Ghana blends archival analysis, interviews, and participant observation with Ghanaian scientists, farmers, activists, and officials. Ultimately the text aims to illuminate why GM crops have animated the country and to highlight how their introduction has opened an opportunity to air grievances about the systematic de-valuing and exploitation of African land, labor, and knowledge that have been centuries in the making.

    Abstract: "While it is widely acknowledged that climate change is among the greatest global challenges of our times, it has local implications too. This volume forefronts these local issues, giving anthropology a voice in this great debate, which is otherwise dominated by natural scientists and policy makers. It shows what an ethnographic focus can offer in furthering our understanding of the lived realities of climate debates. Contributors from communities around the world discuss local knowledge of, and responses to, environmental changes that need to feature in scientifically framed policies regarding mitigation and adaptation measures if they are to be effective"

    Abstract: That Indonesia's ongoing occupation of West Papua continues to be largely ignored by world governments is one of the great moral and political failures of our time. West Papuans have struggled for more than fifty years to find a way through the long night of Indonesian colonization. However, united in their pursuit of merdeka (freedom) in its many forms, what holds West Papuans together is greater than what divides them. Today, the Morning Star glimmers on the horizon, the supreme symbol of merdeka and a cherished sign of hope for the imminent arrival of peace and justice to West Papua.Morning Star Rising: The Politics of Decolonization in West Papua is an ethnographically framed account of the long, bitter fight for freedom that challenges the dominant international narrative that West Papuans' quest for political independence is fractured and futile. Camellia Webb-Gannon's extensive interviews with the decolonization movement's original architects and its more recent champions shed light on complex diasporic and intergenerational politics as well as social and cultural resurgence. In foregrounding West Papuans' perspectives, the author shows that it is the body politic's unflagging determination and hope, rather than military might or influential allies, that form the movement's most unifying and powerful force for independence.This book examines the many intertwining strands of decolonization in Melanesia. Differences in cultural performance and political diversity throughout the region are generating new, fruitful trajectories. Simultaneously, Black and Indigenous solidarity and a shared Melanesian identity have forged a transnational grassroots power-base from which the movement is gaining momentum. Relevant beyond its West Papua focus, this book is essential reading for those interested in Pacific studies, Native and Indigenous studies, development studies, activism, and decolonization.

    Abstract: The mortgaging of land is not just economic and legal but also social and cultural. Here, anthropologists, historians, and economists explore origins, variations, and meanings of the land mortgage, and the risks to homes and livelihoods. Combining findings from archives, printed records, and live ethnography, the book describes the changing and problematic assumptions surrounding mortgage. It shows how mortgages affect people on the ground, where local forms of mutuality mix with larger bureaucracies. The outcomes of mortgage in Africa, Europe, Asia, and America challenge economic development orthodoxies, calling for a human-centered exploration of this age-old institution. (Umschlagtext)

    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: In the spring of 1973, the Baharvand tribe from the Luristan province of central western Iran prepared to migrate from their winter pastures to their summer camp in the mountains. Seasonal migration in spring and fall had been their way of life for as long as anyone in the camp could remember. They moved their camp and their animals—sheep, goats, horses, donkeys, and chickens—in order to find green pastures and suitable temperatures. That year, one migrating family in the tribe allowed an outsider to make the trip with them. Anthropology professor Frank Hole, accompanied by his graduate student, Sekandar Amanolahi-Baharvand, traveled with the family of Morad Khan as they migrated into the mountains. In this volume, Hole describes the journey, the modern and prehistoric sites along the way, and the people he traveled with. It is a portrait of people in transition—even as the family follows the ancient migration path, there are signs of economic and social change everywhere. (Verlagsangabe)

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.

    Abstract: Weltweit solidarisieren sich Menschen aufgrund bestimmter Merkmale und damit in Verbindung gebrachter Diskriminierungserfahrungen. Das Erschaffen, Aneignen oder Verändern von Personenkategorien hilft Aktivist*innen, auf die Bedürfnisse solcher Menschen aufmerksam zu machen und für eine gesellschaftliche Gleichstellung zu kämpfen. Personenkategorien erweisen sich dabei als umkämpfte Grundpfeiler identitätspolitischer sozialer Bewegungen.Dieses Buch führt seine Leserschaft nach Tansania und beschäftigt sich mit der Karriere der Personenkategorie Menschen mit Albinismus. Aus Individuen, die wegen ihrer hellen Haut, Haare und Augen als Mensch/Geist-Hybride galten, wurden im Verlauf von vier Jahrzehnten Menschen mit einem Gesundheitsproblem, für die sich besondere Fördermöglichkeiten erschlossen.Die Autorin zeichnet diesen Prozess ethnographisch nach und analysiert, auf welche Weise lokale und transnationale Aktivist*innenäußerliche Merkmale erfolgreich rekodieren und so die neue Personenkategorie Menschen mit Albinismus gesellschaftlich durchsetzen. In Anlehnung an Konzepte aus der Forschung über soziale Bewegungen und Praktiken der Humandifferenzierung zeigt sie, wie sich hypopigmentierte Tansanier*innen die Anerkennung als vollwertige Mitglieder der Gesellschaft erstreiten.

    Abstract: Have Your Yellowcake and Eat It is a story of men, monsters and uranium in Swakopmund, a small coastal city in the west of Namibia. Founded by German settlers in the late nineteenth century, Swakopmund remains a popular holiday destination for Namibians and international visitors alike.How do young African men make their home in this peculiar town of pretty beaches and luxury hotels, a brutal colonial history and a large uranium mining industry? Are their close relations affected by global changes in the price of uranium? And how do we describe their life worlds which straddle many homes, neighbourhoods, and establishments - sometimes even existing beyond the limits of the post-colonial city?Employing a reflexive narrative and based on two year`s fieldwork, Jack Boulton explores the myriad ways in which intimacy develops and manifests for men in a city defined predominantly by racialised difference and local and global forces of inequality.

    Abstract: Looking at the ways in which anthropologists try to lead positive lives at work, this book investigates what kind of morality they perform in their occupations and what the impact of this morality is. The book includes ethnographic studies in four professional arenas: health care, business, management and interdisciplinary research. The discussion is positioned at the intersection of 'applied or public anthropology' and 'the anthropology of ethics' and analyses the ways in which anthropologists can carry out 'moral work' both inside and outside of academia.

    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: Though the current political situation in Palestine is more serious than ever, contemporary Palestinian art and film is becoming, paradoxically, increasingly funny.In Laughter in Occupied Palestine, Chrisoula Lionis analyses both the impetus behind this shift toward laughter and its consequences, arguing that laughter comes as a response to political uncertainty and the decline in nationalist hope. Revealing the crucial role of laughter in responding to the failure of the peace process and ongoing occupation, she unearths the potential of humour to facilitate understanding and empathy in a time of division. This is the first book to provide a combined overview of Palestinian art and film, showing the ways in which both art forms have developed in response to critical moments in Palestinian history over the last century. These key moments, Lionis argues, have radically transformed contemporary Palestinian collective identity and in turn Palestinian cultural output.Mapping these critical junctions - beginning with the Balfour Declaration of 1917 to the Oslo Accords in 1993 - she explores the historical trajectory of Palestinian art and film, and explains how to the failure of the peace process has led to the present proliferation of humour in Palestinian visual culture.

    Abstract: Religious pluralism, as encountered in multi-faith settings such as Nigeria's biggest city Lagos, challenges much of what we have long taken for granted about religion, including the ready-made binaries of Christianity versus Islam, religion versus secularism, religious monism versus polytheism, and tradition versus modernity. In this book, Marlies Janson offers a rich ethnography of religions, religious pluralism and practice in Lagos, analysing how so-called "religious shoppers" cross religions boundaries, and the co-existence of different religious traditions where practitioners engage with these simultaneously. Prompted to develop a broader conception of religion that shifts from a narrow analysis of religious tradition as mutually exclusive, Hanson instead offers a perspective that focuses on the complex dynamics of their acutal entanglements. Including real-life examples to illustrate religion in Lagos through religious practice and lived experiences, this study takes account of the ambivalence, inconsistency and unpredictability of lived religion, proposing assemblage as an analytical frame for exploring the conceptual and methodological possibilities that may open as a result.

    Series Statement: Topics in the Contemporary Pacific [volume 6]
    Keywords: Papua-Neuguinea Soziale Bedingungen ; Sozialer Wandel ; Ethnographie ; Frau ; Urbanisation ; Geschlechterforschung ; Ethnologie ; Anthropologie, soziale ; Port Moresby 〈Papua Neuguinea〉
    Abstract: The New Port Moresby: Gender, Space, and Belonging in Urban Papua New Guinea explores the ways in which educated, professional women experience living in Port Moresby, the burgeoning capital of Papua New Guinea. Drawing on postcolonial and feminist scholarship, the book adds to an emerging literature on cities in the "Global South" as sites of oppression, but also resistance, aspiration, and activism. Taking an intersectional feminist approach, the book draws on a decade of research conducted among the educated professional women of Port Moresby, offering unique insight into class transitions and the perspectives of this small but significant cohort. The New Port Moresby expands the scope of research and writing about gendered experiences in Port Moresby, moving beyond the idea that the city is an exclusively hostile place for women. Without discounting the problems of uneven development, the author argues that the city`s new places offer women a degree of freedom and autonomy in a city predominantly characterized by fear and restriction. In doing so, it offers an ethnographically rich perspective on the interaction between the "global" and the "local" and what this might mean for feminism and the advancement of equity in the Pacific and beyond. The New Port Moresby will find an audience among anthropologists, particularly those interested in the urban Pacific, feminist geographers committed to expanding research to include cities in the Global South and development theorists interested in understanding the roles played by educated elites in less economically developed contexts. There have been few ethnographic monographs about Port Moresby and those that do exist have tended to marginalize or ignore gender. Yet as feminist geographers make clear, women and men are positioned differently in the world and their relationship to the places in which they live is also different. The book has no predecessors and stands alone in the Pacific as an account of this kind. As such, The New Port Moresby should be read by scholars and students of diverse disciplines interested in urbanization, gender, and the Pacific. (Umschlagtext)

    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.

    Keywords: Schrift Symbol ; Sprache und Kultur ; Transport, Verkehr ; Musik und Kultur ; Kunst ; Anthropologie
    Abstract: Was haben Laufen, Weben, Beobachten, Singen, Erzählen, Zeichnen und Schreiben gemeinsam? Tim Ingolds originelle Antwort lautet: Der Mensch vollzieht all diese Tätigkeiten linear. Seitdem Menschen miteinander durch Sprache oder Gesten kommunizieren, haben sie dabei auch Linien hervorgebracht.Ingolds brillantes Buch, das längst ein Klassiker der Anthropologie der Gegenwart ist, liegt hier nun endlich in deutscher Übersetzung vor. Seine kurze Geschichte der Linien besticht durch eine ebenso originelle wie umfassende Erkundung eines wissenschaftlich noch kaum erforschten Terrains. Indem Ingold die Struktur und das Wesen der Linie anhand der unterschiedlichsten Beispiele (von sibirischen Labyrinthen über römische Straßen, indigene Strick- und Webartefakte, mittelalterliche Manuskripte, moderne Partituren in Japan, musikalische Rezitationsweisen im antiken Griechenland etc.) untersucht, ergibt sich eine Vielzahl überraschender Perspektiven.In sechs Kapiteln lädt der Autor seine Leser dazu ein, die Geschichte der Linie in unterschiedlichen kulturellen Kontexten über einen Zeitraum von mehr als 2000 Jahren zu ergründen. Welche Arten von Linien gibt es überhaupt? Was für eine Materialität kann eine Linie besitzen? Wie hat sich unser Verständnis von Linearität gewandelt? Was hat dieser Wandel mit unserem Verständnis von Sprache, Gesang, Zeichnen oder unserem Lese- und Flächenempfinden gemacht? Unsere moderne Konzeption von Linearität als etwas Statischem und Organisiertem erweist sich dabei als überaus eingeschränkt. Tim Ingold führt anschaulich vor Augen, wie die Linie einen neuen Blick auf den Menschen und seine Kultur eröffnet. (Verlagsangaben)

    Description / Table of Contents: This edited collection focuses on the links between youth and African popular culture. Contributions by a distinguished group of scholars explore popular culture produced and consumed by young people in contemporary Africa. Essays cover a variety of cultural representations visual, oral, written, performative, fictional, social, and virtual created by African youth, mostly about their lives and their immediate societies, and for themselves, but also consumed by the larger public and shared locally and globally. The volume examines the range of music, art, and media African youth produce, under what conditions or contexts they produce such work, and the aesthetic dimensions of these texts as cultural artifacts. Essays further explore why these textual practices matter as social facts, as interpretive acts, and as symbols of the cultural activism of young people in a rapidly changing world; a world where the global cultural economy is the prime terrain for the relentless struggles over the meanings that come to shape political-economic and social systems

    Abstract: The bulk of this massive tome, generously illustrated (maps, figures, tables, plates), presents what is known of Dghwede culture in twenty-three varied chapters ranging from the material to the ideational, with emphasis on kinship and ritual. Oral traditions — the main legacy of the Gwoza hills montagnards — are at their core and are subjected to critical analysis. A labour of love and fine scholarship, this is the first extended ethnographic account from this region and will be warmly welcomed by specialists for its broad coverage and inferences and, a generation hence, by Dghwede descendants eager to explore their cultural heritage.

    Abstract: Until the 1960s, little was known inside or outside Iran about the tribes living in the country. The anthropological research of Erika Friedl is now renowned for presenting comprehensive data collected over a 50-year period from her time among the Boir Ahmad tribal people living in the Zagros Mountains of Iran.In this new book, Friedl turns her attention to the subject of religion, which she had only touched upon in her previous work. About ninety percent of people in Iran and nearly everybody in Boir Ahmad are Muslims of the Twelver Shia group. However, studies of tribal people's religiosity, beliefs and rituals are scarce, and many researchers have discounted their views and experience, regarding the tribes as only "nominally religious" because their practices do not fit in with the mainstream practices and ideas in Iran. Religion and Daily Life in the Mountains of Iran corrects this view and provides a hallmark study of tribal people's religiosity. Demonstrating the great diversity of their philosophical and religious ideas, the book reveals the ways in which the tribes choose and express their religion, define their communities and understand their world. From conversations about God and his relationships with people, to observations on ageing and death, and research into the tribe's use of spells, amulets and sacrifices, to their beliefs about saints, health and well-being, the book is an original ethnographic exploration of religion and daily life.

    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.

    Networks, labour and migration among Indian Muslim artisans (2020)
    London : UCL Press

    Series Statement: Economic Exposures in Asia
    Keywords: Indien Muslime ; Islam ; Künstler ; Soziale Bedingungen ; Arbeit ; Frau ; Migration ; Arbeitsmigration ; Kunst ; Islamische Kunst
    Abstract: Networks, Labour and Migration among Indian Muslim Artisans provides an ethnography of life, work and migration in a North Indian Muslim-dominated woodworking industry. It traces artisanal connections within the local context, during migration within India, and to the Gulf, examining how woodworkers utilise local and transnational networks, based on identity, religiosity, and affective circulations, to access resources, support and forms of mutuality. However, the book also illustrates how liberalisation, intensifying forms of marginalisation and incorporation into global production networks have led to spatial pressures, fragmentation of artisanal labour, and forms of enclavement that persist despite geographical mobility and connectedness. By working across the dialectic of marginality and connectedness, Thomas Chambers thinks through these complexities and dualities by providing an ethnographic account that shares everyday life with artisans and others in the industry. Descriptive detail is intersected with spatial scales of `local`, `national` and `international`, with the demands of supply chains and labour markets within India and abroad, with structural conditions, and with forms of change and continuity. Empirically, then, the book provides a detailed account of a specific locale, but also contributes to broader theoretical debates centring on theorisations of margins, borders, connections, networks, embeddedness, neoliberalism, subjectivities, and economic or social flux

    Abstract: This monograph is a comparative study of eight ways of life of highlanders in West Papua. It consists of ten sections: an introduction, a conclusion and eight ethnographic chapters, each dealing with a separate way of life. I chose this presentation since I wanted to make clear the individuality of each of them. In the book I attempt to trace the changes in these ways of life as they were occurring just previous to the settlement of colonial outsiders. This attempt proved feasible since for seven of them first contact accounts are available.

    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)

    Keywords: Malawi Christentum ; Kirche, unabhängige ; Beziehungen, interreligiös ; Medizin, traditionelle ; Heilbehandlung ; Ethnographie ; Religionsethnologie
    Abstract: Combining history, ethnography, and culture theory, this book explores how residents in northwestern Malawi have responded over time to the early missionary assertion that local religious and healing practices were incompatible with Christianity and western medicine. It details how local agents, in the past and today, have constructed new cultural forms that weave facets of ancestral spiritualism and divination with Christianity and biomedicine. Alongside a rich historical review of the late-19th century encounter between Tumbuka-speakers and the Scottish Presbyterians of the Livingstonia Mission, the book explores the contemporary therapeutic dance complex known as Vimbuza and considers two case studies, each the story of a man confronting illness and struggling to understand the roots and meaning of his a?iction. In the process, the book considers the enduring missiological and anthropological topics of conversion and syncretism, and questions the assertion by some scholars that Western missionaries in Africa have been successful agents of religious hegemony.

    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: Nicht die europäische künstlerische Avantgarde entdeckte Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts in den Völkerkundemuseen "die Primitive Kunst". Viel früher trafen Ethnologen bei ihren Expeditionen auf Kulturobjekte und bewerteten sie als Kunstwerke. Doris Kaufmann erhellt die überraschenden Implikationen dieses Urteils, das sich nicht in den kolonialapologetischen und rassenhierarchischen Diskurs der Zeit einfügte. Sie untersucht auch die Aneignungen und Transformationen, die die mitgebrachten Kunstartefakte in den unterschiedlichen globalen kulturellen und politischen Kontexten erfuhren. Beginnend mit der "Kunst als Kultur"-Diskussion Franz Boas` stellt sie Fallgeschichten zu den sibirischen Ethnien am Amur, den Marquesas im Südpazifik und zu dem kongolesischen Königreich der Kuba vor.

    Abstract: At once a digital ethnography of smartphones and a classically conceived village-based ethnography, this book relocates the study of digital technologies to rural Melanesia, with a focus on the Lau of Malaita, Soloman Islands. In this `technography`, Geoffrey Hobbis studies the materiality and functional attributes of smartphones and their object biographies—modes of acquisition, maintenance, uses, limitations and the problems specific to this region in adopting and adapting smartphones in everyday life. As he examines the various uses of smartphones, as both telephone and multimedia device, Hobbis also explores the social and cultural transformations, the hopes and uncertainties, with which they are associated. Ultimately, in bringing together a study of digital technologies with classical anthropological theory, The Digitizing Family develops a theory of smartphones as kinship technologies and supercompositional objects.

    Abstract: Institutionskritik ist hochaktuell und aus den kuratorischen Debatten nicht mehr wegzudenken. Sie dient als Folie für kritische Akteure, um sich im Kunstfeld zu positionieren. Als künstlerische Praxis vielfach untersucht, blieb bisher jedoch ungeklärt: Wie reagieren Kunstinstitutionen und kuratorische Praktiken auf Institutionskritik? Franziska Brüggmann gibt entlang dieser Frage einen systematischen Überblick über den institutionskritischen Diskurs und zeichnet die institutionellen Strategien der Kritik nach. Aktuelle Fallstudien bringen dabei gegenwärtige Formen von Institutionskritik nahe und zeigen deren neue Schauplätze. (Umschlagtext)

    Keywords: Osttimor Kolonie, portugiesisch ; Ethnographie ; Animismus ; Geist ; Kultur ; Kolonialismus ; Geschichte
    Abstract: By presenting a history of Western ethnography of animism in East Timor during the Portuguese period, this intriguing study offers an original synthesis of the country`s history, culture and anthropology. The book consists of ten chapters, each one a narrative of the work and experience of a particular ethnographer. Covering a selection of seminal 19th- and 20th-century ethnographies, the author explores the relationship between spiritual beliefs, colonial administration, ethnographic interests and fieldwork experience. It is argued that the presence of outsiders precipitated a new `transformative animism` as colonial control over Portuguese Timor was consolidated. This came about because increasingly powerful outsiders posed threats and offered rewards to the Timorese just as the powerful ancestor spirits had long done; consequently, the Timorese ritualised their dealings with outsiders following their established model for appealing to spirits. Bringing colonial and professional ethnography into the one frame of reference, it is shown that ethnographers of both types not only bore witness to these processes of transformative animism, they also exemplified them.

    Abstract: What would be a history of modernity since the invention of prehistory, in the heart of the nineteenth century? What would it be if the narrative thread was woven by the successive interpretations of prehistory given by not only artists, but also philosophers, writers, historians, art historians, prehistorians and anthropologists? Can the modern uses of prehistory shed new light on the modern experience of time and, thus, the art of this period?Résumé de l'éditeur : "Maria Stavrinaki livre une réflexion ambitieuse sur les usages de la notion de préhistoire - sur les interprétations successives qu'en ont données non seulement les artistes, mais aussi les philosophes, les écrivains, les historiens, les historiens de l'art, les préhistoriens et les anthropologues, depuis son invention au XIXe siècle - à la fois dans l'écriture de l'histoire de la modernité et dans l'expérience moderne de la temporalité : un retour à la fondation de l'histoire humaine pour aider à penser notre condition présente."

    Abstract: Protestant missionaries have provided the earliest and most detailed sources regarding the ritual art of the Papuan peoples of the Geelvink Bay. While converting these missionaries collected, but they were also involved in the destruction of countless items. 'Korwar. Northwest New Guinea Ritual Art according to missionary sources' chronicles these events and brings these sources to bear on circa 300 ritual objects and their itineraries.

    Abstract: The Museum of Mankind was an innovative and popular showcase for minority cultures from around the non-Western world from 1970 to 1997. This memoir is a critical appreciation of its achievements in the various roles of a national museum, of the personalities of its staff and of the issues raised in the representation of exotic cultures. Issues of changing museum theory and practice are raised in a detailed case-study that also focuses on the social life of the museum community. This is the first history of a remarkable museum and a memorable interlude in the long history of one of the world`s oldest and greatest museums. Although not presented as an academic study, it should be useful for museum and cultural studies as a well as a wider readership interested in the British Museum. (Umschlagtext)

    Description / Table of Contents: En 2017, Antoine de Galbert fait donation de sa collection de coiffes au musée des Confluences, à Lyon. Envisageant son rapport aux coiffes comme "instinctif, ludique et spontané", elles racontent l'histoire de sociétés et d'esthétiques diverses et étonnantes émanant du monde entier.Ainsi, d'un continent à l'autre, ce catalogue, richement illustré, emmène le lecteur à la découverte de plus de cinq cents coiffes, symboles des cultures du monde. Cet ouvrage invite à la contemplation et à l'étude de la coiffe, son esthétisme, ses matières, mais également le rôle, le statut et la nature que ce projet particulier offre à chacun de ses détenteurs. Variées, étonnantes, spectaculaires, les coiffes se révèlent et suscitent la curiosité sur leurs véritables fonctions...Ce catalogue propose une double approche : celle du collectionneur nourri de la beauté, de l'étrangeté, de l'exotisme de ces parures et celle du musée qui se concentre sur l'histoire, les peuples, la réalité de l'utilisation pour comprendre ces objets dans leur contexte vivant.

    Abstract: "The early collections from Africa in Liverpool's World Museum reflect the city's longstanding shipping and commercial links with Africa's Atlantic coast. A principal component of these collections is an assemblage of several thousand artefacts from western Africa that were transported to institutions in northwest England between 1894 and 1916 by the Liverpool steam ship engineer Arnold Ridyard. While Ridyard's collecting efforts can be seen to have been shaped by the steamers' dynamic capacity to connect widely separated people and places, his Methodist credentials were fundamental in determining the profile of his African networks, because they meant that he was not part of official colonial authority in West Africa. Kingdon's study uncovers the identities of many of Ridyard's numerous West African collaborators and discusses their interests and predicaments under the colonial dispensation. Against this background account, their agendas are examined with reference to surviving narratives that accompanied their donations and within the context of broader processes of trans-imperial exchange, through which they forged new identities and statuses for themselves and attempted to counter expressions of British cultural imperialism in the region. The study concludes with a discussion of the competing meanings assigned to the Ridyard assemblage by the Liverpool Museum and examines the ways in which its re-contextualization in museum contexts helped to efface signs of the energies and narratives behind its creation."--Publisher's website

    Abstract: In Jesus for Zanzibar: Narratives of Pentecostal (Non-)Belonging, Islam, and Nation Hans Olsson offers an ethnographic account of the lived experience and socio-political significance of newly arriving Pentecostal Christians in the Muslim majority setting of Zanzibar. This work analyzes how a disputed political partnership between Zanzibar and Mainland Tanzania intersects with the construction of religious identities. Undertaken at a time of political tensions, the case study of Zanzibar`s largest Pentecostal church, the City Christian Center, outlines religious belonging as relationally filtered in-between experiences of social insecurity, altered minority / majority positions, and spiritual powers. Hans Olsson shows that Pentecostal Christianity, as a signifier of (un)wanted social change, exemplifies contested processes of becoming in Zanzibar that capitalizes on, and creates meaning out of, religious difference and ambient political tensions.

    Keywords: Ghana Städtisches Gebiet ; Elendsviertel ; Markt ; Ethnographie ; Wirtschaft, informelle ; Accra 〈Ghana〉
    Abstract: Home to eighty thousand people, Accra`s Old Fadama neighbourhood is the largest illegal slum in Ghana. Though almost all its inhabitants are Ghanaian born, their status as illegal `squatters` means that they live a precarious existence, marginalised within Ghanaian society and denied many of the rights to which they are entitled as citizens.The case of Old Fadama is far from unique. Across Africa, over half the population now lives in cities, and a lack of affordable housing means that growing numbers live in similar illegal slum communities, often in appalling conditions. Drawing on rich, ethnographic fieldwork, the book takes as its point of departure the narratives that emerge from the everyday lives and struggles of these people, using the perspective offered by Old Fadama as a means of identifying wider trends and dynamics across African slums.Central to Stacey`s argument is the idea that such slums possess their own structures of governance, grounded in processes of negotiation between slum residents and external actors. In the process, Stacey transforms our understanding not only of slums, but of governance itself, moving us beyond prevailing state-centric approaches to consider how even a society`s most marginal members can play a key role in shaping and contesting state power.

    Abstract: Bhakti, a term ubiquitous in the religious life of South Asia, has meanings that shift dramatically according to context and sentiment. Sometimes translated as "personal devotion," bhakti nonetheless implies and fosters public interaction. It is often associated with the marginalized voices of women and lower castes, yet it has also played a role in perpetuating injustice. Barriers have been torn down in the name of bhakti, while others have been built simultaneously.Bhakti and Power provides an accessible entry into key debates around issues such as these, presenting voices and vignettes from the sixth century to the present and from many parts of India`s cultural landscape. Written by a wide range of engaged scholars, this volume showcases one of the most influential concepts in Indian history—still a major force in the present day. (Umschlagtext)

    What are exhibitions for? : an anthropological approach (2019)

    Abstract: Why do people go to exhibitions, and what do they hope to gain from the experience? What would happen if people were encouraged to move freely through exhibition spaces, take photographs and be playful? In this book, Inge Daniels explores what might happen if people and objects were freed from the regulations currently associated with going to an exhibition. Traditional understandings of exhibitions place the viewers in a one-way communication form, where the exhibition and those behind its creation inform their audiences. However, motivations behind exhibition-going are multiple and complex and frequently the intentions of curators do not match the expectations of their visitors. Based on an in-depth ethnographic examination of the processes involved in the making and reception of one particular exhibition-experiment as well as a study that follows 'freed' objects into their new homes, this publication will not only shed light on what exhibitions are, but also what they could become in the future. Featuring over 175 colour illustrations and using practical examples, this is an important contribution for students and scholars of anthropology, museum studies, photography, design and architecture

    An _uncertain future : anticipating oil in Uganda (2018)

    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)

    Keywords: kulturelles Eigentum Materielle Kultur ; Ethnizität ; Brasilien ; Indianer, Brasilien ; Candomblé ; Ghana ; Kunst ; Ritual
    Abstract: Contrary to popular perceptions, cultural heritage is not given, but constantly in the making: a construction subject to dynamic processes of (re)inventing culture within particular social formations and bound to particular forms of mediation. Yet the appeal of cultural heritage often rests on its denial of being a fabrication, its promise to provide an essential ground to social-cultural identities. Taking this paradoxical feature as a point of departure, and anchoring the discussion to the two heuristic concepts of the `politics of authentication' and `aesthetics of persuasion,' the chapters herein explore how this tension is central to the dynamics of heritage formation worldwide.

    Note: Organised around the theme of beauty, this innovative collection offers insight into the development of anthropological thinking on art, aesthetics and creativity in recent years. The volume incorporates current work on perception and generative processes, and seeks to move beyond a purely aesthetic and relativist stance. The essays invite readers to consider how people sense and seek out beauty, whether through acts of human creativity and production; through sensory experience of sound, light, touch, or experiencing architecture; visiting heritage sites or ancient buildings; experiencing the environment through `places of outstanding natural beauty`; or through cooperative action, machine-engineering or designing for the future.

    Abstract: Winner of the Society for the Anthropology of Work book prize 2017 This volume presents a global range of ethnographic case studies to explore the ways in which - in the context of the restructuring of industrial work, the ongoing financial crisis, and the surge in unemployment and precarious employment - local and global actors engage with complex social processes and devise ideological, political, and economic responses to them. It shows how the reorganization and re-signification of work, notably shifts in the perception and valorization of work, affect domestic and community arrangements and shape the conditions of life of workers and their families.

    An _uncertain future : anticipating oil in Uganda (2018)

    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.

This book follows anthropologists into spaces where words, ideas and arguments take shape and explores the steps in a creative process. In a unique examination of how texts come to be composed, the editors bring together a distinguished group of anthropologists who offer valuable insight into their writing habits. These reflexive glimpses into personal creativity reveal not only the processes by which theory and ethnography come, in particular cases, to be represented on the page but also supply examples that students may follow or adapt.

    Abstract: West African history is inseparable from the history of the Atlantic slave trade and colonialism. According to historical archaeologist François Richard, however, the dominance of this narrative not only colors the range of political discourse about Africa but also occludes many lesser-known--but equally important--experiences of those living in the region. Reluctant Landscapes is an exploration of the making and remaking of political experience and physical landscapes among rural communities in the Siin province of Senegal between the late 1500s and the onset of World War II. By recovering the histories of farmers and commoners who made up African states' demographic core in this period, Richard shows their crucial--but often overlooked--role in the making of Siin history. The book also delves into the fraught relation between the Seereer, a minority ethnic and religious group, and the Senegalese nation-state, with Siin's perceived "primitive" conservatism standing at odds with the country's Islamic modernity. Through a deep engagement with oral, documentary, archaeological, and ethnographic archives, Richard's groundbreaking study revisits the four-hundred-year history of a rural community shunted to the margins of Senegal's national imagination.

    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: Visual histories of South Asia is one of the first comprehensive contributions to the rapidly developing cross-disciplinary scholarship that connects visual studies with South Asian historiography. The key purpose of the book is to introduce scholars and students of South Asian and Indian history to the first in-depth evaluation of visual research methods as a valid research framework for new historical studies. The volume identifies and evaluates current developments in visual sociology and digital anthropology relevant to the study of contemporary South Asian constructions of personal and national identities. Owing to its wide-ranging theoretical methodology, from concepts of visual perception to media semiotics, Visual Histories of South Asia covers a rich thematic agenda with contributions ranging from ethnographic research to gender studies,fine arts analyses, theoretical and methodological questions, economic structures, international politics and contemporary cultural patterns. In charting the theoretical and historical advances in visual and historical studies dedicated to South Asia, and by addressing issues of private and national memory within regional, national, and contemporary South Asian iconography, from the mid-seventeenth century to the early twentyfirst century. The thirteen contributions selected for this volume are of immediate relevance to visual theorists and historians, sociologists and cultural anthropologists, as well as to students and scholars of South Asian history and culture.

    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.

    Elsdon Best, l`ethnographe immémorial : sauvetage et transformation de la mythopoétique maorie (2018)

    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. »"

    Abstract: Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts gingen viele katholische Missionare nach Ozeanien, denn die Reichsregierung duldete nur deutsche Missionsgesellschaften bzw. -orden. Zwei Orden aus Münster, Westfalen übernahmen die Christianisierung in Papua-Neuguinea und Mikronesien. Ihre Herkunft ebenso wie ihre Tätigkeit in Ozeanien werden in dem Band aus verschiedenen Perspektiven betrachtet. Zudem widmen die Autor_innen sich den Verflechtungen zwischen Ozeanien und Deutschland, stellen ländliche Gesellschaften in Westfalen und Ozeanien im Vergleich dar und behandeln die Veränderungen in der deutschen Gesellschaft - etwa durch Handel oder die Verbreitung von Wissen über Ozeanien und die dort lebenden Menschen.
