Revolutions are cosmogonic. More than any other modern political form, their deliberate goal is to precipitate change as a total, all-embracing project: not just a radically new political order, but one that reaches deep into the fabric of social relationships, seeking to transform people at their very core, recasting the horizons that give their lives shape and meaning. Combining ethnographic and historiographic research, Shapes in Revolution tells the story of this radical process of life-formation, with all of its rugged contradictions and ambiguities, as it has unfolded in Cuba. As well as a novel anthropological perspective on revolutions, the upshot is a fresh approach to the study of political forms and their power to format people and their relationships into particular shapes. Articulating politics through the shapes it gives to people and their lives, the work proposes relational morphology as a new departure for political anthropology.

Derderian, Beth, Art Capital: Museum Politics and the Making of the Louvre Abu Dhabi. (Culture and Economic Life) 277 pp. 2026:1 (Stanford U. Pr., US) <751-989>

Museums often served nationalist and imperialist interests in the past, but the primary force in the 21st century is the market. Museum franchising-exemplified by the Louvre Abu Dhabi-is one of the most visible cases of the increasing entanglement of art and museums with capital interests. Such projects are often touted as global enterprises diversifying the art world. Frequently, critics of these controversial projects question these claims and market influence. The intersection of these two forces-increasing capitalization and moving toward inclusivity-creates a fundamental tension, and that is the subject of Beth Derderian's Art Capital. Focusing on the decade between the Louvre Abu Dhabi's announcement and its eventual opening, the book analyzes how major shifts away from the 19th- and 20th-century paradigm of culture-state representation play out in museums' and artists' everyday practices. Derderian traces the emergence of a new logic, wherein the ways that artists represent the state shift, as does the notion of what constitutes 'good art.' In addition, these intersecting forces spur preemptive erasures that neutralize and depoliticize difference for museum publics. Drawing on ethnographic research with artists, curators, museum staff, gallerists, art teachers, and other arts professionals, this book analyzes the UAE art world as a microcosm of these massive, epistemic changes.

Oulehla, Patricia, COVID-19 Responses in Yucatan: A Critical Medical Anthropology Perspective on Risk Communication, Pandemic Obedience, and Rumors. (BestMasters) 63 pp. 2025:5 (Springer VS, GW) <751-318>
ISBN 978-3-658-47861-2 paper ¥16,782.- (税込) EUR 69.99

This book offers a critical medical anthropological approach on health communication during the COVID-19 pandemic. As decision-making about risk communication and policies can be especially challenging during times of crisis, this research contributes to a better understanding of the dynamics of risk communication and its effects on the public, while paying attention to issues around communicability and health inequity. To examine the perception of public health messages around the COVID-19 pandemic in Yucatan, Mexico Patricia Oulehla conducted 21 semi-structured interviews. Findings demonstrate that local perceptions of COVID-19 were influenced by both media and government information campaigns, as well as by rumors, which emerge in times of uncertainty, often stemming from social and political tensions. As inequality has been amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic, already marginalized groups, such as the Mayan population of rural villages have been at greater risk during the pandemic. Therefore, this research explores how colonial continuities manifest themselves in health policies, access to health-related information as well as the spread of rumors.

Douglas-Jones, Rachel, Committee Worlds: Governing Medical Research Through Ethics in the Asia-Pacific. (Anthropology of Policy) 277 pp. 2026:1 (Stanford U. Pr., US) <751-126>

Medical research is a global endeavor; a complex network of international drugs trials and data collection in the pursuit of novel treatments. And the Asia-Pacific region is considered an ideal "market" for such trials, with large populations and good hospitals. However, to become hosts to global trials, and to export valid trial data, researchers are required to engage local research ethics committees. Supported through grants from the World Health Organization, the Forum of Ethics Review Committees of Asia and the Pacific (FERCAP) was established in 2000, and has spent the last twenty years building capacity for ethics assessment in hospitals and universities across the region. They are the translators of global ethics standards and principles for regional audiences. Through a decade of ethnographic engagement with FERCAP, following members from their base in Thailand to workshops across Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Taiwan, and mainland China, Rachel Douglas-Jones demonstrates that research ethics committees, their material and social form, are spaces of contestation where the futures of global medical research are decided. With this book, Douglas-Jones contributes a key reference for studies of "the committee" upon which future work in the anthropology of policy can build. Understanding how ethics review committees do their work allows anthropologists of policy, global health, and bureaucracy to consider the values embedded in ethics as a bureaucratic practice.

A first-of-its-kind collection to transform our understanding of digital media from Indigenous women creators Indigenous women form a vital force in digital media production now and have over the past several decades-in fact, nearly three quarters of the projects at the 2017 imagineNATIVE Film and Media Arts Festival were created by women. By Their Work highlights the prismatic nature of Indigenous women's digital media, connecting the digital arts with their creative labor and adaptive activism. Joanna Hearne and Karrmen Crey bring together a collection of essays and interviews to highlight the voices of powerful and important media makers, from Indigenous video game creators to animators to social media influencers and from theorists of early Indigenous digital media to current practitioners, including trans and nonbinary creators often left out of public narratives about the digital. Creating a space to hear critical voices on Indigenous media history, theory, and production, the contributors share stories, genealogies, and practices behind Indigenous women's power and presence in the digital world. Focusing on the history of digital media as a whole, this collection presents a compelling case for Indigenous women's crucial roles across the history of digital forms and platforms. In doing so, By Their Work transforms digital Indigenous studies in the twenty-first century.

Transparency has become a ubiquitous presence in seemingly every sphere of social, economic, and political life. Yet, for all the claims that transparency works, little attention has been paid to how it works - even when it fails to achieve its goals. Instead of assuming that transparency is itself transparent, this book questions the technological practices, material qualities, and institutional standards producing transparency in extractive, commodity trading, and agricultural sites. Furthermore, it asks: how is transparency certified and standardized? How is it regimented by 'ethical' and 'responsible' businesses, or valued by traders and investors, from auction rooms to sustainability reports? The contributions bring nuanced answers to these questions, approaching transparency through four key organizing concepts, namely disclosure, immediacy, trust, and truth. These are concepts that anchor the making of transparency across the lifespan of global commodities. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Understanding the Hawai'i Island summit of Mauna a Wakea as a place of ancestral connection, cultural resurgence, and political resistance for Native Hawaiians? First Light is a site-specific study of Native Hawaiian resistance to the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) on the summit of Mauna a Wakea, the sacred volcano on the island of Hawai'i. Drawing on personal interviews, oral histories, archival research, participant observation, and popular, legal, scientific, and Indigenous discourses, Iokepa Casumbal-Salazar explores both the campaign to build the observatory and the movement against it. He asks how astronomers have become stewards of Mauna a Wakea while Kanaka 'Oiwi (Aboriginal Hawaiians), in protest, are recast as obstructing progress and clinging to ancient superstitions. Contextualizing contemporary resistance to telescope expansion within the past 125 years of struggle against U.S. empire in Hawai'i, Casumbal-Salazar argues the Kanaka-led efforts to protect their ancestral lands did not begin with the TMT and only become legible when understood in the broader history of resistance to U.S. settler hegemony as told through the voices and actions of kia?i ?aina (land defenders). First Light explores how settler science, capital, and law have been mobilized in ways that rationalize industrial development projects like the TMT and promote a vision of "coexistence" that enables the dehumanization of Kanaka 'Oiwi and their alienation from ?aina. Challenging the assumptions and aggressions of neoliberal environmental policy, settler multiculturalism, and U.S. military occupation, First Light reinforces calls for a moratorium on new telescope development and a literacy in Kanaka 'Oiwi movements for life, land, and Ea (independence, sovereignty).

Davis, Christopher S., Before Sunset: Ice-Age Amazonian Rock Art and Archaeoastronomy at the Younger Dryas. (Conflict, Environment, and Social Complexity) 287 pp. 2025:6 (Springer, GW) <751-1037>
ISBN 978-3-031-93372-1 hard ¥31,170.- (税込) EUR 129.99

Through a presentation of the oldest rock art dated in the Americas, located in Monte Alegre, Brazil, this book analyzes an ancient ecological-astronomy strategy that theoretically made the rapid human migration in the Americas successful. It helps answer two vital questions long held by scholars and the general public alike: How did humans survive the rapid and massive climate changes at the end of the ice age? And how did founding populations (especially in the Americas) manage successful settlement, relatively rapidly, in ecosystems entirely foreign to them? It further initiates questions about the universal role that astronomy (and even astrology) might have played in cognitive human evolution and the success of burgeoning sedentism and eventual "civilization" throughout the world. The book makes a substantial contribution because of the wealth of cultural information it provides from Monte Alegre. It explains the author's analysis of pictographs, lithics, and landscape modifications that were excavated there and provides novel findings on the chronology and archaeoastronomy of the art. This book is indispensable for courses about Paleoindians, peopling of the Americas, environmental anthropology, cosmology, rock art studies, archeoastronomy, paleoecology, paleoethnobotany, and Amazonia. The pan-American indications of this work will appeal to archaeologists, historians, art historians, folklorists, Native American and Indigenous scholars, evolutionists, cognitive scientists, geographers, and the general public.

Descola, Philippe, Forms of the Visible: An Anthropology of Figuration. Tr. by C. Porter. 637 pp. 2025:9 (Polity Pr., UK) <751-1039>

Imagery and figuration are not just figments of an artist's imagination. Perception and imagination are always shaped by what habit has taught us to discern. The visual path we spontaneously trace through the world depends on where we are situated in the four regions of the ontological archipelago: animism, naturalism, totemism or analogism. Each of these four regions corresponds to a way of conceiving the objects that make up the world, of perceiving the continuities and discontinuities in the folds of the world and of drawing the dividing lines between humans and nonhumans. From Alaskan Yup'ik masks and Aboriginal bark paintings to miniature landscapes from the Song dynasty and Dutch Golden Age interior scenes: each image reveals, through what it shows or fails to show, a certain figurative regime, identifiable by the formal means it uses and by the device through which it can unleash its power to act. The figurative regime enables us to grasp - sometimes better than words can - the contrasting ways of living that characterize the human condition and its relation to the nonhuman. By comparing a great diversity of visual images and artworks, Descola masterfully lays the theoretical foundations for an anthropology of figuration. One of the world's leading anthropologists, Philippe Descola has developed a comparative anthropology of relations between humans and nonhumans that has revolutionized both the human sciences and our ways of thinking about the great ecological issues of our time. His new book will be of great value to students and scholars of anthropology, visual art and art history and to anyone interested in art, culture and the relations between the human and nonhuman worlds.

Reclaiming power and prophecy through California Indian intellectual resurgence and anticolonial resistance Mark Minch-de Leon explores the anticolonial dimensions of California Indian intellectual and cultural resurgence in the aftermath of apocalypse in this compelling reexamination of Indigenous art, literature, and theory. Centering on a reinterpretation of the Ghost Dance, a ceremony first practiced in the nineteenth century, as a collective demonstration of prophecy and resilience, Indigenous Inhumanities envisions an expanded poetics of resistance through a reconfigured relationship to death and the dead. By dismantling the colonial frameworks of inclusion, recognition, and representation that reinforce settler-state power, Minch-de Leon shows how storytelling can be reclaimed as both research and as a tool for decolonization. Taking up critical issues that the state has used to discipline California Indian relations to ancestors, such as the politics of human remains repatriation and the discourse around California Indian genocide, Minch-de Leon centers Indigenous knowledge and social systems while challenging legal and political definitions of violence, power, and the human. Rich case studies showcase the evocative art of Frank Day, the poetry of Tommy Pico, and the writings of Deborah Miranda, highlighting how these creators advance Indigenous theory and disrupt settler categories. By refusing reconciliation and embracing Indigenous frameworks of radical relationality and the "inhuman" (what lies outside of human control), Minch-de Leon presents a bold vision of Indigenous antihumanist survival and resurgence. Indigenous Inhumanities illuminates the path toward decolonial futures by following the radical turn the ancestors made toward the powers of the dead to bring an end to the colonial world.

Wildlife conservation in Tanzania is fraught with conflicts between the state, international organizations, private investors, and local communities over the rights to rangeland resources and the benefit streams associated with safari tourism. This book takes up the question of how a Wildlife Management Area (WMA) in Tanzania's Tarangire ecosystem is viewed from the bottom up, by the people who are directly affected by its implementation. Based on historically grounded ethnographic research, Justin Raycraft documents a shift in local attitudes toward Randilen WMA-from fear and protest to widespread support. He analyzes this process of transformation in the context of empathetic management practices that have fostered feelings of trust and uncovered common ground between conservation stakeholders. Raycraft shows that although WMAs are not fully devolved to the local level, pastoral communities can use them to defend the things they value most: their land and livelihoods. Conservation in Common makes a much-needed intervention in critical political ecology literature by providing the first account of a conservation area in Tanzania that serves the interests of its local community, thereby making the case that protecting wildlife habitat and safeguarding human well-being are not mutually exclusive activities.

What does it mean to be human in the Anthropocene? Set against the backdrop of southern Chile's conservation frontier, Piergiorgio Di Giminiani's Alterhumanism invites us to recognize the centrality of the human condition in the face of an increasingly uncertain world and imagine future forms of coexistence. Reflecting on more than a decade of ethnographic fieldwork with smallholding settlers, Indigenous Mapuche farmers, environmental activists, entrepreneurs, and conservation scientists, Di Giminiani brings to light how these diverse groups navigate the enduring impacts of settler-caused environmental depletion and their aspirations for new ethics of care. Di Giminiani challenges traditional Western humanism, proposing a more relational and open-ended understanding of humanity shaped by interactions with nonhuman others. Rather than seeking fixed answers, the book explores the fluid and multifaceted nature of becoming human through the lens of conservation politics. By highlighting the entangled, multispecies worlds of southern Chile, Di Giminiani offers a novel approach to understanding the political project of becoming human in the Anthropocene. Alterhumanism is a rich, ethnographically grounded perspective on humanity's evolving relationship with the natural world.

In Indigenizing Japan, archaeologist Joe E. Watkins provides a comprehensive look at the rich history and cultural resilience of the Ainu, the Indigenous people of Hokkaido, Japan, tracing their journey from ancient times to their contemporary struggles for recognition. Relaying the deep history of the islands of Japan, Watkins tells the archaeological story from the earliest arrivals some 40,000 years ago to 16,000 years ago when local cultures began utilizing pottery and stone tools. About 2,300 years ago, another group of people immigrated from the Korean peninsula into the Japanese archipelago, bringing wet rice agriculture with them. They intermarried with the people who were there, forming the basis of the contemporary Japanese majority culture. As the Japanese state developed on the central Islands of Honshu, Ryukyu, and Shikoku, the people of Hokkaido continued developing along a different trajectory with minimal interaction with the mainland until colonization in the mid-nineteenth century, when the people known as the Ainu came under Japanese governmental policy. Watkins's insightful analysis highlights the Ainu's enduring spirit and their resurgence as part of the global Indigenous movement. Key events such as the 1997 Nibutani Dam case and the 2007 recognition of the Ainu as Japan's Indigenous people are explored in depth, showcasing the Ainu's ongoing fight for cultural preservation and self-determination. By situating the Ainu's experiences within broader global colonial histories, Indigenizing Japan underscores the shared struggles and resilience of Indigenous communities worldwide.

Generations of Indigenous people have experienced the injustices wrought by institutional confinement. Widespread criticism calls Canadian prisons the new residential schools and Australian ones a national tragedy. In Aotearoa New Zealand, the government itself has suggested Maori may be the most incarcerated people in the world. Handing over the Keys compares three countries with enduring records of confining Indigenous people.Intergenerational imprisonment - the legacies of institutional confinement in an array of settings - leaves a long shadow. Linda Mussell seeks the keys to transformative change through a rigorous policy analysis and interviews with frontline practitioners, policy professionals, and people who have lived experience of imprisonment. Her goal is policy transformation to address both Indigenous hyper-imprisonment and intergenerational impacts. What do people closest to this issue think? What should the state do? This urgently needed study proposes ways to hand over the keys that unlock the doors of confinement for future generations.

About 90 percent of archaeological activity in North America is driven by private-sector development. In the process, archaeology is often used to undermine the interests of those whose material culture it allegedly seeks to preserve and interpret. Unearthing Forgotten Values explores the often disrespectful and ultimately unethical nature of commercial archaeology - or cultural resource management - and proposes a praxis that puts Indigenous communities and their heritage first.Based on lengthy experience working with and within Indigenous communities in British Columbia and around the world, Sean P. Connaughton discusses such thorny issues as the meaning of decolonization, Indigenous land rights and sovereignty, the commodification of heritage, and state support for projects that will exacerbate climate change. Weaving together real-life stories, fieldwork, scholarship, data, introspection, and Indigenous values, Unearthing Forgotten Values charts a practical course for change. Professional archaeology will be the better for it.

Thinking Through Archaeological Complexity explores how archaeologists can engage with complex adaptive systems, examining dynamic interactions between humans and environments across space and through time. It offers a roadmap for integrating theory, method, and data through a complexity science lens.This volume bridges archaeology and complexity science, offering a transdisciplinary framework for understanding long-term socio-ecological dynamics. This book provides a substantive overview of how complex adaptive systems science is used in archaeology. Drawing from case studies in the Ancestral Pueblo Southwest, it demonstrates how tools like agent-based modeling, ecological and social network analysis, and settlement scaling reveal emergent patterns in the archaeological record. The book critically examines concepts such as resilience, adaptation, innovation, and transformation, offering alternatives to overly linear narratives. Emphasizing methodological transparency, it provides practical guidance for scholars interested in modeling, data integration, and working across disciplinary boundaries while grounding in theoretical pluralism. By situating archaeological knowledge within broader scientific conversations, the book encourages readers to reimagine the past not as static or collapsed, but as complex, entangled, and instructive for contemporary challenges.This book is essential reading for students, researchers, and practitioners in archaeology as well as complexity science. It will also appeal to scholars in anthropology, environmental studies, geography, and network science interested in long-term human-environmental dynamics and the application of complex systems approaches in historical contexts.

This groundbreaking book offers a unique collection of Indigenous and non-Indigenous approaches to decolonizing international development.The world is facing enormous challenges, from ever-growing global inequality to climate change to the continuing fallout from the Covid pandemic. It is becoming increasingly clear that the origin of these challenges lies in the economic models and imperial lifestyles perpetuated by the Global North. In order to find new answers to the world's biggest challenges, then, it is necessary for the Global North to acknowledge Indigenous knowledge systems as unique and legitimate epistemologies and to engage in dialogues with them. This collection brings together contributions from Indigenous and non-Indigenous authors to promote that dialogue. It provides a unique, rare forum for discourse between the expressive potentials of differing world views, and ultimately, for developing cooperation in the terms of Eisenstein's notion of interbeing, which counteracts the "History of Separation" between nature and culture and between Global South and Global North. What emerges is a path forward towards a new, interwoven modernity characterized by an embrace of separate, but mutually constitutive, ways of knowing.For its wide topical and geographic breadth, and for its bringing together of Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars around the world, this book is a must-read for researchers and students interested in indigenous studies and decolonial approaches to international development.

This book offers innovative insights from across disciplines to explore the soulful survival of migrants, refugees, and displaced individuals and communities amidst stalemates, crises and compromises in human rights. Dwelling on ethnographic case studies from Asia, Africa, Latin America, the USA, and Europe, the volume illuminates the experiences of vulnerable communities, showcasing their solidarities, networks, and supportive dynamics that emerge from the harsh realities of social life. Analysing the world from the lens of fraternal relations and spaces that arise and abound in the lifeworld of the marginalised and vulnerable communities, this edited volume illustrates how without these burgeoning solidarities, migrants and other at-risk populations may have a harder struggle to navigate the socio-economic and political challenges they face. Furthermore, the book emphasises that nation-states would encounter even more profound and complex difficulties without such intricate coping mechanisms. The essays within the volume demonstrate that these mechanisms are vital to addressing dilemmas, stalemates, and the stakeholder politics surrounding people living in precarious, hidden and dark contexts. The case studies which enrich theoretical debates, also indicate how these dark contexts would be significantly more difficult to traverse without the robust and nuanced messages coded in actor solidarities and resilience.The volume is poised to attract significant attention from scholars and researchers committed to anthropology, ethnography, history, migration, international politics and refugee studies.

Archaeological Structuration is a critical analysis of the theory of structuration and its utility in the study of societal development over deep time. Structuration theory was originally developed by Anthony Giddens in sociology and adopted piecemeal into archaeology. This book takes a closer look at its contributions to new materialism and develops novel ways to operationalize the theory in archaeological research in the twenty-first century. To illustrate the usefulness of structuration theory, archaeologist Michael T. Searcy deploys it to uncover new understandings of ancient societies, particularly focusing on the Casas Grandes civilization in precolonial northern Mexico. Spanning more than seven hundred years, this society exemplifies the rise of social complexity in the Western Hemisphere. Searcy reexamines previous hypotheses about major structural shifts during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries CE, providing fresh insights and updated perspectives. This book not only revisits the foundational influence of structuration theory but also introduces new methodologies to study the longue duree, the long-term historical trajectories of ancient societies. Searcy deftly bridges the gap between theoretical frameworks and practical archaeological applications, providing a thorough analysis of how structuration can address real-world problems through the lens of ancient societal transformations.

Tamez, Margo / Bejarano, Cynthia / Shepherd, J. P. (eds.), Gathering Together, We Decide: Archives of Dispossession, Resistance, and Memory in Nde Homelands. (Critical Issues in Indigenous Studies) 480 pp. 2025:10 (U. Arizona Pr., US) <750-1190>

In 2007, the Department of Homeland Security began condemnation proceedings on the property of Dr. Eloisa Tamez, a Lipan Apache (NdE) professor, veteran, and title holder to land in South Texas deeded to her ancestors under the colonial occupation and rule of King Charles III of Spain in 1761, during a time when Indigenous lands were largely taken and exploited by Spanish colonizers. Crown grants of lands to Indigenous peoples afforded them the opportunity to reclaim Indigenous title and control. The federal government wanted Tamez's land to build a portion of the "border wall" on the U.S.-Mexico border. She refused. In 2008, the Department of Homeland Security sued her, but she countersued based on Aboriginal land rights, Indigenous inherent rights, the land grant from Spain, and human rights. This standoff continued for years, until the U.S. government forced Tamez to forfeit land for the wall. In response, Dr. Eloisa Tamez and her daughter, Dr. Margo Tamez, organized a gathering of Lipan tribal members, activists, lawyers, and allies to meet in El Calaboz, South Texas. This gathering was a response to the appropriation of the Tamez family land, but it also provided an international platform to dispute the militarization of Indigenous territory throughout the U.S.-Mexico bordered-lands. The gathering and years of ensuing resistance and activism produced an archive of scholarly analyses, testimonios, artwork, legal briefs, poetry, and other cultural productions. This unique collection spotlights powerful voices and perspectives from NdE leaders, Indigenous elders, settler-allies, Native youth, and others associated with the Tamez family, the NdE defiance, and the larger Indigenous rights movement to document their resistance; expose, confront, and end racism and militarization; and to foreground Indigenous women-led struggles for justice.

Hakobyan, Arsen / Mollica, Marcello, Conflict, Space and Transnationalism: An Ethnography of the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War. (Palgrave Studies in Urban Anthropology) 404 pp. 2025:6 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <749-812>
ISBN 978-3-031-89206-6 hard ¥28,772.- (税込) EUR 119.99

This book looks at the way the 2020 Second Nagorno Karabakh War allowed urban spectacular transformation in war actors' attitudes towards space and transnationalism. It concentrates on some specific events, including pre- and wartime life in the Nagorno Karabakh political capital Stepanakert and compelling historical and cultural heritage issues in the cultural capital Shushi and its meaning for the Armenian population worldwide. Attention is placed both on wartime social and urban changes and to the destruction, or attempted destruction, of Armenians cultural heritage during the conflict and in post-war Azerbaijani occupation. The first part of the book reconstructs the historic and religious context of Nagorno Karabakh, linking it with the regional geo-political dimension; meanwhile, the case studies analysed in the second part of the book will help understand spatial meanings (e.g., towns, cultural centres, monasteries) and the symbolic value of urban heritage while also discussing some conflict markers in the context of theories of transnationalism and diaspora studies.

Wang, Po Hsun / Li, Jie, Interpreting the Evolution of Atayal Tribal Textile Patterns: Tracing the Anthropological Footprints of a Taiwanese Ethnic Minority Group. 218 pp. 2025:7 (Springer, GW) <749-933>
ISBN 978-981-9654-50-5 hard ¥28,772.- (税込) EUR 119.99

This book elucidates findings from an anthropological study that analyzes the patterns of Taiwan's Atayal tribe's fabric in their ethnic dress codes. By analyzing the changes and development of the patterns over time, the authors draw fascinating conclusions regarding the geographical migration and intermarriage practices between indigenous minority groups in Taiwan's history. The book brings new insights within East Asian linguistic anthropology in theorizing about the origins of legends and broader patterns of ethnic migration, integrating the characteristics and relationships among Atayal fabrics, and interpreting these relationships in connection with the flow of sub-ethnic groups. In doing so, the book provides rich empirical evidence for anthropologists and migration scholars to better understand the movement of ethnic groups in Taiwan, while also establishing a model for how studying textile design can be employed to establish such linkages. The book shows that the composition and changes of ethnic minority patterns have their own internal logic and causes. By studying this, the authors demonstrate how such work might translate intangible and tangible culture into explicit and shareable knowledge and provide a compass for other anthropologists and researchers in the fields of visual and linguistic anthropology, migration studies, and ethnic and indigenous cultures, in Asia and beyond.

Bolivia's troubled efforts to develop a commercial lithium industry. Bolivia's lithium accounts for a significant percentage of the world's known reserve. Drawing on extensive ethnographic research, Mark Goodale traces the development of Bolivia's closely guarded lithium project through the perspectives of a wide array of people and institutions, including workers at the Salar de Uyuni, the world's largest salt flat; the state lithium company in La Paz; Latin America's first electric vehicle company; and energy entrepreneurs in Bolivia, the United States, and Germany. He points to a fundamental contradiction: a so-called green energy transition dependent on the ever-greater extraction of yet another nonrenewable resource. But without access to Bolivia's lithium, and at megaindustrial scales that far outstrip current production, there won't be sufficient lithium supply to make the batteries needed for a truly global EV revolution. Extracting the Future shows how the lithium economy is deeply embedded in a global capitalist system that continues to rely on resource extraction, unsustainable economic growth, and geopolitical violence.

Coltofean, Laura / Arnold, B. / Bartosiewicz, L. (eds.), Connecting People and Ideas: Networks and Networking in the History of Archaeology. (Themes in Contemporary Archaeology) 232 pp. 2025:3 (Springer, GW) <749-1198>
ISBN 978-3-031-81005-3 hard ¥35,966.- (税込) EUR 149.99

This book presents new research into social networks and the various networking modes that formed during the history of archaeology in distinct geographical settings in Europe, North America, and South Asia in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The diverse range of international experts in this edited collection demonstrate that networks can be found everywhere in archaeology, making it a highly interconnected research field. Using a wide array of examples from diverse geopolitical, cultural, and social contexts, the volume reveals how essential social networks and networking have been to the development of archaeology; to the production, transfer, exchange, and dissemination of archaeological and cross-disciplinary knowledge; and to the formation, upward mobility, barrier transcendence, research, and association of archaeological practitioners. The book is of interest to students and scholars of history of archaeology, history of science, museum studies and interdisciplinary studies.

Ferreyra, Carla, A Proposal for the Expanded Fruition of Cultural Heritage Sites: CAME, a Methodology for Their Digitization. 174 pp. 2025:5 (Springer, GW) <749-1199>
ISBN 978-3-031-88822-9 hard ¥28,772.- (税込) EUR 119.99

This book presents a comprehensive methodology, integrating analysis, digitization, and the preservation of cultural heritage. It investigates three potential UNESCO World Heritage Sites, in Italy, Germany and South Africa, and employs a blend of documentary research and advanced digital surveying and data processing techniques. The volume shows how these efforts yielded actionable strategies to meet society's evolving demands for surveying, recovery, and conservation. The book documents the work behind the overarching objective which was to digitize, analyze, categorize, and store all collected data within a BIM framework, with the aim of streamlining collaboration, enhancing management efficiency, and optimizing processes. It demonstrates the utilization of digital tools in not only amplifying traditional scientific-technological approaches to heritage protection, but also its role in reshaping the perception, comprehension, and communication of heritage. This fosters the development of more sustainable conservation strategies.

Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more.Making Our Beasts is an ethnography of science-in-action that uses a familiar topic-dinosaurs-to lead readers to understand science and its objects in new ways. Through fieldwork and interviews conducted at laboratories, dig sites, museums, and entertainment sites, Elana Shever explores vertebrate paleontology in the United States, showing how the practices of scientists and the materiality of fossils together shape the social world and also are shaped by it. The book foregrounds elements of scientific inquiry that have been sidelined: affect, touch, material agency, and the labor of volunteers, technicians, and other nonscientists. It also reveals how paleontology continues to be structured by race, gender, and colonialism.

What does it mean to decolonise academia in Africa? Is this important project limited to the humanities? Is it a project for the future? Are there forerunners at African universities today? The contributors to this volume show different trajectories for anthropology as a discipline and for decolonising academia across the continent and beyond. They offer a variety of perspectives, especially regarding collaboration between African and German scholars in the areas of research, teaching and institutional development: While some are hopeful and take inspiration from earlier experiences of disciplinary and methodological developments in academic decolonisation and international collaborations, others remain critical and call for more radical attempts at decolonisation.

How do we know through atmospheres? How can being affected by an atmosphere give rise to knowledge? What role does somatic, nonverbal knowledge play in how we belong to places? Atmospheric Knowledge takes up these questions through detailed analyses of practices that generate atmospheres and in which knowledge emerges through visceral intermingling with atmospheres. From combined musicological and anthropological perspectives, Birgit Abels and Patrick Eisenlohr investigate atmospheres as a compelling alternative to better-known analytics of affect by way of performative and sonic practices across a range of ethnographic settings. With particular focus on oceanic relations and sonic affectedness, Atmospheric Knowledge centers the rich affordances of sonic connections for knowing our environments.

This provocative book challenges frequently voiced assertions regarding museums as necessary and valued modern institutions. It raises fundamental, existential questions about contemporary museums as products of the modern colonial world order. Drawing on practical examples of collecting and exhibiting, theoretical research, and critique from diverse countries across the globe, including Chile, India, Korea, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Palestine, Portugal, Sri Lanka, and the United States, the book moves beyond the conventional Eurocentric museological framework. The book synthesises contemporary critiques of museums, while arguing that societies need the sociocultural examinations that museums are capable of facilitating, and that radical transformations of 'the museum' are fraught with difficulty, but also possible and necessary. Ultimately, Coffee argues that museums can only be future orientated if they are transformed into agents of social justice and inclusion; divestors of illicit collections; and proponents of a liberatory ethic, opposing neo-colonialism in all of its forms. During that transformative process, as the book demonstrates, museum practice and museum theory must also be transformed.The End of the Museum: Culture, Colonialism, and Liberation will appeal to students, researchers, and practitioners interested in a critical examination of museum work and theory.

Egeler, Matthias, Elves and Fairies: A Short History of the Otherworld. 240 pp. 2025:10 (Yale U. Pr., US) <748-881>

An enchanting history of the otherworld of elves and fairies, from the nature spirits of Iceland and Ireland to Avalon and Middle Earth Originating in Norse and Celtic mythologies, elves and fairies are a firmly established part of Western popular culture. Since the days of the Vikings and Arthurian legend, these sprites have undergone huge transformations. From J. R. R. Tolkien's warlike elves, based on medieval legend, to little flower fairies whose charms even Sir Arthur Conan Doyle succumbed to, they permeate European art and culture. In this engaging cultural history, Matthias Egeler explores these mythical creatures of Iceland, Ireland, Scotland, and England, and their continental European cousins. Egeler goes on a journey through enchanted landscapes and literary worlds. He describes both their friendly and their dangerous, even deadly, sides. We encounter them in the legends of King Arthur's round table and in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, in the terrible era of the witch trials, in magic's peaceful conquest of Victorian bourgeois salons, in the child-friendly form of Peter Pan, and even as helpers in the contemporary fight against environmental destruction.

Martinovich, Victor, Belarus in Autoethnographic Narratives: The Art of Mercy Against Oblivion. 256 pp. 2025:8 (Routledge, UK) <748-903>
ISBN 978-1-041-07233-1 hard ¥41,470.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This book offers an autoethnographic exploration of the interplay of art, memory, and resilience in Eastern Europe, weaving together the personal and collective histories of Belarusians - those who survived two world wars and their contemporaries, who are now looking for a way out of a political crisis in the region.Set against the history of Belarus, it recounts the story of the author's great-grandfather Amyalyan, a Belarusian peasant executed by the Nazis after saving a Jewish man during World War I, along with reflections on artists like Chaim Soutine and Marc Chagall, whose journeys reflect the region's cultural endurance. Combining autoethnography and art history, this book presents art as a medium of empathy, challenging readers to engage with paintings emotionally rather than through a purely analytical lens. Each chapter functions as both a historical reflection and an invitation to see art as a means of reclaiming personal narratives, making historical traumas accessible and relatable. Themes of compassion, forgiveness, and the humanizing power of art emerge as essential elements, guiding readers through the complex intersections of personal and collective memory.This book is a valuable addition for researchers and students interested in ethnography and autoethnography, Eastern European studies, art history, cultural studies and memory studies.

Designing Questionnaires for Language Studies is a guide to the design and use of questionnaires for empirical linguistic research, particularly in the areas of dialectology, sociolinguistics, and linguistic anthropology. Whether completed via written correspondence or through interviewing, questionnaires play an essential role in linguistic research. Yet, the design of questionnaires is rarely taught formally, leaving researchers to learn effective design in practice. This practical and accessible text offers structured, step-by-step guidance to provide researchers with the skills they need to make the most of questionnaire-based research. It also provides a history of the use of this tool in linguistic research and critically examines the assumptions and motivations inherent in the creation and administration of questionnaires and the questions that populate them, and how biases can negatively affect the outcome of the research itself. Experience in this area has led to refinements in these instruments over time. Armed with this knowledge, readers can make informed decisions about how to structure their questionnaires as they embark on their own investigations, or they can simply use this background information to better understand the results of previous work in these areas. This book will be valuable reading to language scholars who want to carry out their own research projects or critically evaluate the research of others.

A thought-provoking account of the life and work of Franz Boas and his influential role in shaping modern anthropology Franz Boas (1858-1942) is widely acknowledged for his pioneering work in the field of cultural anthropology. His rigorous studies of variations across societies were aimed at demonstrating that cultures and peoples were not shaped by biological predispositions. This book traces Boas's life and intellectual passions from his roots in Germany and his move to the United States in 1884, partly in response to growing antisemitism in Germany, to his work with First Nations communities and his influential role as a teacher, mentor, and engaged activist who inspired an entire generation. Drawing from Boas's numerous but rarely read writings, Noga Arikha brings to life the man and the ideas he developed about the complex interplay of mind and culture, biology and history, language and myth. She provides a comprehensive picture of the cultural contexts in which he worked, of his personal and professional relationships, and of his revolutionary approach to fieldwork. He was celebrated in his lifetime for the cultural relativism he developed and the arguments he marshaled against entrenched racialism. But his was a constant battle, and Arikha shows how urgently relevant his voice and legacy have become again today.

World Prehistory and Archaeology explains how the process of archaeological discovery develops our picture of humanity as it emerges from archaeological research, integrating discussion of world prehistory and archaeological methods.Presenting an up-to-date perspective on what we know about our human prehistory and how we come to know it, this book focuses on archaeology as an active journey of discovery and the ways in which archaeologists gain insight into the human past. Archaeological practice and methods are introduced and also problematized with discussions and examples around how we know the past. This new edition includes recent work on early humans, genetics, social complexity, agriculture, climate change, AI and more to ensure that the current state of archaeological research is reflected. This vibrant picture of archaeology highlights how archaeologists grasp at the traces of the past but are at the same time deeply embedded in the concerns and structure of current society. To reflect this dynamic, the context of archaeological research and the relevance of archaeology to the challenges we face today are woven through the entire text. The archaeology of the recent past is also foregrounded to engage students with this rapidly developing area with a new chapter in the first section of the volume.Providing students with the fundamentals of archaeology and engaging them with the work that goes into understanding world prehistory, World Prehistory and Archaeology locates this knowledge in the context of the modern world, recognizing the relevance of archaeology to contemporary issues.

This book explores cross-cultural similarities and differences of human subjectivity and selfhood through the concept of selfscapes.Utilizing an ethnographic and person-centered approach to the study of human subjectivity, Selfscapes, Selfhoods, and Subjectivities demonstrates that autopoietic processes are informed by both the constraints of a social and material ecology acting on a particular person and by how that person is remembering and habitually responding to that history of engagement with the world. While the co-constitution of social and historical circumstance and individual reactivity and memory is universal, the way an autopoietic process unfolds within any given social ecology will vary, sometimes greatly, from person to person. Drawing on a broad theoretical base, this book is essential reading for anthropologists, psychoanalysts, social psychologists, and anyone seeking to understand the varieties and particularities of human subjectivity and selfhood.

ISBN 978-1-032-77483-1 hard ¥41,470.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This book focuses on Greenlandic oral history and how to better understand people, their cultural remains, and their landscape through their own stories. It offers a way to consult Inuit oral history that opens up a perspective on houses and landscapes that may otherwise be invisible to the barren eye. Working with and re-activating Indigenous knowledge of Greenland, the study draws on more than two thousand stories collected between 1735 and 1981, preserved, and later enrolled in an online and searchable database. The author unearths the concepts woven into Greenlandic Inuit's homes, settlements, and landscapes. These re-discovered insights challenge the archaeological interpretation, transcending the tangible to illuminate the unseen. The narratives contribute to safeguarding invaluable Indigenous knowledge and perhaps also to the revival of cultural practices, customs, and traditions. The book demonstrates how oral history is more than merely fantastical 'myths' and 'legends'; it is valuable knowledge for scholars and communities. It will be of particular interest for scholars of Indigenous studies, anthropology, archaeology, and history.

Human Alterity: A Brief History of Anthropological Thought offers an introduction to the history of anthropological thought, encompassing eleven concise chapters that revolve around the concept of human alterity.Ever since the birth of our species, humans have wanted to understand people other than themselves. But what is an 'alter' human? Alter humans do not exist irrespective of the very concept of alterity that defines them as such. Readers find a history of what has made humanity opaque to itself: a history of the theories about human alterity produced by some humans. Chapters delve into various topics, including the discovery of America and the initial systematic theories regarding human alterity, the influences of rationalism and the Enlightenment, the impact of Romanticism, the trajectory of Social Evolutionism, the realm of Historicism, the tenets of Functionalism, explorations into the Culture and Personality school, examinations of Structuralism, analyses of political ideologies (such as Marxism, feminism, postcolonial studies, and postmodernism), and an exploration of current trends in cross-cultural studies.Human Alterity: A Brief History of Anthropological Thought will be of value to both new and advanced students of anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, social history, post-colonial studies and to anyone concerned with the belief, fantasy and reality of human diversity.

Haunted by the past, ordinary Okinawans struggle to live with the unbearable legacies of war, Japanese nationalism, and American imperialism. They are caught up in a web of people and practices - living and dead, visible and immaterial - that exert powerful forces often beyond their control. In When the Bones Speak, Christopher T. Nelson examines the myriad ways contemporary Okinawans experience, remember, and contest sacrifice. He attends to the voices of those who find their vocation in service to others, from shamans, fortune-tellers, laborers, and artists to dead soldiers, war survivors, antiwar activists, and Christian missionaries. Nelson shows how the memories of past sacrifices, atrocities, and exploitation as well as residual trauma shape modern life in Okinawa and the possibility and hope for creative action grounded in the everyday. Offering new understandings of colonial transformation, wartime violence, and military occupation, Nelson writes from the intersection of temporalities and possibilities, where the hard finality of the past may be broken open to reveal a "not yet" that has always remained just beyond reach.

Corpse Magic examines beliefs about vengeance the slain magically enact on their killers, focusing on lethal violence in Colombia and the United States.Corpse Magic is a response to the global ubiquity of violence. In this bracing new work, the influential anthropologist Michael Taussig puts killings in Colombia, by gangs and guerrillas, police and the military, and agents of agribusiness, in conversation with mass shootings and police killings, disproportionately of Black people, in the United States. In both contexts, he examines the effects of violent killing on its victims, its perpetrators, and those who witness and relive it through media footage. Drawing from literature, religion, philosophy, and anthropology, Taussig traces the idea that the act of killing "infects" the killer and spreads outward, then connects this concept of contagion to beliefs in Colombia and elsewhere that the souls of the slain possess those of their slayers and that magic can be used to empower or thwart corpses as agents of vengeance. In this powerful and imaginative work, Taussig asks what kind of power the dead continue to have; what kinds of magic can manage that power; and what, if anything, can stop seemingly endless cycles of violence.
