This book explores the significance of new information technology for socio-cultural change and provides ethnographic insight into the early days of remote working. It draws on long-term anthropological fieldwork among people in rural Denmark working from home via the internet. Going back to the late 1990s and early 2000s, the study demonstrates how remote and flexible working was mostly practiced informally, fostering incremental changes to the cultural domain of 'work'. It captures the dilemmas arising from living with multiple arenas and the challenges of balancing work and family life - a predicament which motivates many to embrace remote working. The volume contains an updated introduction and conclusion where the author reflects on the historical moment of his fieldwork and on the impact of the recent Covid-19 pandemic on working practices. The book offers a valuable comment on how to empirically study the social and cultural significance of new information technologies, as well as how to think of and empirically research change anthropologically, situating information technology in a broader offline context of unfolding complex living. It will be of interest to scholars of social anthropology and digital ethnography, as well as others with a focus on social aspects of information technology and on work and organizational studies.

The study of infant, child, and adolescent remains (nonadult remains) is a topic of growing interest within the fields of archaeology and bioarchaeology. Many published volumes and articles delve into the experiences of childhood and what these small remains may tell us about life, more broadly, in the past. For those interested in exploring infant and child remains, it is an exciting period as more methods and approaches are constantly being incorporated into the archaeological toolkit. This Element introduces the reader to the topic and to common methodological approaches used to consider nonadult remains from archaeological contexts. With this toolkit in hand, readers will be able to begin their own explorations and analyses of nonadult human remains within archaeological contexts.

Provides an encompassing overview of migration routes and dispersal of human populations around the world World on the Move brings together the current state of knowledge about migration and displacement in a single, easily accessible volume. Written as a companion to "World on the Move: 250,000 Years of Human Migration," a traveling exhibition developed by the American Anthropological Association and the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, this thought-provoking book helps us reframe the ways we think and talk about migration. World on the Move opens by describing the basic patterns and processes of migration and discussing the evidence used to measure migration, displacement, and their impacts. Subsequent chapters trace major population movements through human history, review the different reasons that propel the movement of human populations, and illustrate the many ways that migration affects us all. The final section focuses on international and national policies on immigration and displacement, including perspectives on birthright citizenship, migrant mothers and their children, and migration driven by climate change. Drawing on a wealth of case studies of diverse cultures from across human history, World on the Move: Employs the "Crossroads" concept, an innovative narrative device that reveals connections between peoples, cultures, and moments when crucial decisions are madeDiscusses ways research on migration and displacement have been used to support public policyHighlights the roles of ever-evolving genetic, archaeological, and linguistic evidence in reshaping understanding of human population movementsExplains basic terms, patterns, and processes of migration and displacement, as well as various evaluation and interpretation methodsAddresses timely and complex issues such as enslavement and trafficking, border walls, immigration policy, and climate change Presenting the latest scholarship on the peopling of the continents, World on the Move: 250,000 Years of Human Migration is an excellent textbook for undergraduate courses in anthropology, sociology, political science, cultural geography, and immigration studies, particularly those exploring migration, displacement, diaspora, and immigration policy.

Petitt, Andrea, The Multispecies Triad of Cattle Ranching: A Horseback Ethnography. (Multispecies Anthropology) 304 pp. 2025:7 (Routledge, UK) <746-1308>
ISBN 978-1-032-45046-9 hard ¥40,832.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This book explores the multispecies triad of cattle ranching, focusing on how humans, horses and cattle meet, interact and shape a common multispecies culture. Based on a year of horseback ethnography in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, it provides a detailed account of the everyday lives of cowboys, cowgirls and ranchers as well as of horses and cattle. It highlights the different ways that humans, horses and cattle come together on working ranches and in settings such as rodeos and tourist operations. By focusing, empirically and conceptually, on the multispecies triad the author moves beyond binary human-animal approaches and develops the idea of multispecies intersectionality. In particular they bring a gender perspective to the kinds of interactions that the various seasons in the Rockies require. The chapters also feature ethnographic poetry including rhyming field notes as well as field drawings and analytical drawings. With this, the book showcases use of sensory data collection and creative and artful methodologies that allow for the capture of what lies beyond human language in multispecies interactions. The book will be of particular interest to scholars of multispecies ethnography and human-animal relations.

Why does the world need anthropology and anthropologists more than ever? The second edition of Why the World Needs Anthropologists brings together prominent academic, practicing, and applied anthropologists to answer this provocative question.This new edition advocates for a proactive and ethically engaged discipline that not only observes societal transformations but also contributes to solving the most pressing global issues. It proposes that anthropology must be at the front and center of the solving table. In an accessible and appealing style, each author explores the social value and practical application of the discipline of anthropology. Contributors share their career paths and how they use their anthropological skills and knowledge outside academia, and provide specific suggestions to anthropologists and the public at large on practical ways in which anthropology offers powerful insights and solutions in complex and unpredictable times. Each chapter includes a list of recommendations - DOs and DON'Ts - from the authors. With such practical resources, this book is a toolkit to harness anthropology's full potential.This one-of-a-kind volume is essential reading for both fledgling and established anthropologists, social scientists and the general public.

Osorio Sunnucks, Laura Ann et al. (eds.), Mesoamerican Narratives at the British Museum: Ancient Writing, Contemporary Voices. (Museums and Narrative 2) 240 pp. 2024:6 (de Gruyter, GW) <746-1136>

This bilingual book critically reviews a research project undertaken between SDCELAR, British Museum and a group of predominantly Indigenous archaeologists and heritage specialists from various regions in Mexico and Guatemala. This group re-interpret the written narratives embedded in historical items from the Mesoamerican collection using their contemporary Indigenous languages. Indigenous ways of understanding and making time put critical stress on the cumulative historical totalization that underpins global northern knowledge and museum chronotopes. The book discusses Indigenous epistemologies while focusing on the relevance of mobilising this work strategically outside of the museum, among descendant communities. The contributions reflect on the project’s first major output: a multilingual online event series designed to incorporate various voices and engage in contemporary political contexts. This event created a kaleidoscopic narrative synchronicity, eschewing a seemingly neutral, didactic narrative. The book argues for multi-narratival and multi-temporal museum work that shows how the space between narrative and audience can generate reflexivity. In this way, researchers and visitors might interrogate their political and emotional positions towards colonial material.

食品と文化遺産ハンドブック

The Routledge Handbook of Food and Cultural Heritage explores the many varied intersections of food and cultural heritage from a robust, transdisciplinary perspective.Innovative in its approach, this cutting-edge Handbook thinks beyond traditional boundaries to present unique perspectives on the myriad ways in which food and cultural heritage are entangled in theory and practice. Both are growing industries; both are deeply rooted in families, cultures, and societies; both generate controversy and are deployed for political and economic activism. They also both have intellectual lives of their own, and are centers of interdisciplinary fields themselves-yet they also intersect in interesting and, until this book, under-theorized ways. After a comprehensive introduction that presents and challenges the state-of-the-art in the disciplines of critical food and critical heritage studies, the Handbook's chapters are divided into six themes common to both fields: Ontologies and epistemologies of food and cultural heritage; material culture; identity, placemaking and belonging; politics and regulation; tourism development and heritage management; and contemporary issues and emerging approaches. To give representation of voices not usually heard in the scholarly tradition, special interviews with food-and-heritage practitioners complement the comprehensive chapters, adding further depth to the volume through their own lived experiences.With contributions from nearly 50 internationally recognized scholars, social scientists, dieticians, practitioners, and activists, this book is essential reading to scholars, students, researchers, industry professionals, and practitioners looking to understand the complex and compelling ways in which food, foodways, and cultural heritage overlap and impact each other, providing venues for collaborations.
