This article explores how a displaced Papua New Guinean people decided to lease their customary land for oil palm plantation farming to restore their land use rights and resolve ongoing disputes with migrant settlers. By transforming the landscape into a territorialized space as a plantation, Kairak‐speaking Baining hoped to gain actual landownership status and control over their land, which in turn

What does it mean to ‘live well’? The contentious politics of vivir bien as alternative development Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2024-09-18 Matthew Doyle
Vivir bien is widely used by academics, activists, and governments of the Latin American ‘Pink Tide’ to refer to alternatives to conventional economic development based on indigenous worldviews claimed to oppose capitalist modernity. Through ethnography of local politics within a Bolivian Quechua community, this article explores how the term has been vernacularized and contested among local leaders

Selling the future state: making property for Sahrawi sovereignty in Western Sahara Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2024-09-13 Randi Irwin
Sahrawi refugees and the Sahrawi state‐in‐exile have sought to assert their claims to Western Sahara, Africa's last colony, while exiled in refugee camps in Algeria. Through an examination of the Sahrawi state's use of deferred natural resource contracts, this article explores Sahrawi political action prior to – and in anticipation of – the referendum on self‐determination. I suggest that Sahrawi‐led

Nomos aversion and the art of being somewhat governed among Jewish outpost settlers in the West Bank Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2024-08-22 Amir Reicher
Since the mid‐1990s, in clandestine co‐operation with state agencies, West Bank settlers have been establishing what have become known as the illegal outpost settlements. These are typically rustic communities located deep inside the frontier. Publicly, outpost residents insist that they want the state to retroactively legalize their communities. This is also the long‐sought goal of the leaders of

What do other men think? Understanding (mis)perceptions of peer gender role ideology among young Tanzanian men Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2024-08-22 Alexander M. Ishungisa, Joseph A. Kilgallen, Elisha Mabula, Charlotte O. Brand, Mark Urassa, David W. Lawson
Peer influence in adolescence and early adulthood is critical to the formation of beliefs about appropriate behaviour for each gender. Complicating matters, recent studies suggest that men overestimate peer support for inequitable gender norms. Combined with social conformity, this susceptibility to ‘norm misperception’ may represent a barrier to women's empowerment. However, why men misperceive peer

‘All cases are false’: law, gendered violence, and the politics of thickening in Himalayan India Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2024-07-23 Radhika Govindrajan
This article focuses on Indian women's experiences of filing complaints of gendered violence in order to address two interconnected questions: how are complaints of gendered and sexual violence authenticated as genuine or rejected as dubious before they even reach a courtroom? And how do women who bring these complaints before the law navigate a social field in which what counts as the ‘truth’ might

From private to public and back? Kyoto's cityscape councils and the urban commons Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2024-07-22 Christoph Brumann
Scholarly and public debate on the urban commons is burgeoning, but building exteriors and the cityscape these constitute are surprisingly absent from it, despite their considerable significance for and impact on residents and visitors. After reflecting on the cityscape as a commons, the article turns to Kyoto, the former capital of Japan and acclaimed stronghold of history and tradition. Decades of

Songs that made men leave: migration, imagination, and media in late twentieth‐century Mali Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2024-07-18 Aïssatou Mbodj‐Pouye
Throughout the twentieth century, in the Soninke‐speaking area of West Africa, women sang to praise migrants and mock immobile men, before such songs were abandoned at the beginning of the twenty‐first century. These songs have commonly been read as reinforcing a normative order of migration whereby migration functioned as proof of manhood. The study of an original corpus, collected by a radio station

Autonomous partners: asymmetry and masculinity in Amazonian river trade Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2024-07-14 Vinicius de Aguiar Furuie
Trade on the Iriri River, in the eastern Brazilian Amazonia, is structured around a credit‐barter system between clients and bosses known as aviamento in Portuguese. Nowadays, bosses are river traders born in the riversides who offer goods on credit to riverside dwellers, who later pay these debts with fish and products they collect from the forest. While the system, found in the Amazon basin since

Wassach: firearms enchantment and ‘gun culture’ in an Israel Defense Forces reserve combat unit Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2024-07-12 Nehemia Stern, Uzi Ben‐Shalom
This article focuses on the ‘enchanted’ materiality of state militarism by offering an anthropological analysis of ‘gun culture’ within the reservist ranks of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Through primarily ethnographic observations of one reserve combat unit over the span of a decade, we will argue that the ways in which firearms are handled by individual soldiers symbolically mirrors much broader

This article intervenes in feminist anthropological debates about marriage within Western cosmopolitan, ‘post‐traditional’ contexts through a close ethnographic examination of food and ritualized meals among Haredi Jews in London.

Human rights activists worldwide rely heavily on naming and shaming rights‐abusing states at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) to induce them to comply with international human rights norms.

This article explores uncertainty as an onto‐epistemological concept that reveals integrative capacities of Indigenous and scientific knowledge. Looking at official scientific approaches to climate change in Russia, it traces how Indigenous peoples in Siberia navigate their lives as they continue to witness anthropogenic causes of climatic degradation intertwined with forceful denial of Indigenous

Tongue, tape, and time: caring masculinities in the practice of electrical repair and maintenance work in India's Sundarbans Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2024-06-28 Silvia Pergetti
In forest‐fringe areas of India's Sundarbans, young men at the intersection of low caste and class become invested in electrical repair and maintenance work – as a gendering practice that enacts a specific logic of care. This work takes embodied knowledge (tongue), thoughtful improvisation (tape), and lifelong commitment (time) to fragile things and people in need. Tongue, tape, and time make the difference

Reconfiguring gender, kinship, and spirituality: space‐ and place‐making in Muslim Malaysia Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2024-06-28 Viola Thimm
In the public and private spaces of Malaysia's capitalist cities, Malay women abide by a stricter Islamic dress code than they do in rural areas. Hence, in this local context, spatial public/private and ‘placial’ rural/urban order are of importance for gender identifications and practices. These orders imply influences on gendered forms of embodiment in the form of dress codes. This research examines

Staying with the blackout: an insecure anthropology of energy Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2024-06-26 Canay Özden‐Schilling
In the twenty‐first century, blackouts have settled into a familiar sequence of events in the fully electrified world. After jolting publics into a sudden awareness of energy assemblages, they gradually disappear from public memory. This article is an exercise in dwelling on blackouts that have already begun to recede from public memory so as to better conceptualize ‘energy security’ as an object of

The place of mothers is respected in all societies irrespective of their social, cultural, and geographical differences. The mother‐child relationship is considered one of the most sacred in the world. This article explores the age‐old customary ‘child selling’ prevalent in Western Odisha, a voluntary and non‐remunerative practice of childcare during infancy to save children from illness and Yama,

Population, culture history, and the dynamics of change in European prehistory★ Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2024-05-01 Stephen Shennan
Despite many attacks on its shortcomings, culture history has remained in practice the dominant framework for describing and interpreting European prehistory. It has gained even more salience in recent years because the new information coming from ancient DNA about the genetic ancestry of individuals in prehistory seems to show that this correlates closely with the cultural affiliation of the archaeological

Making home alive again after war: Acoli Kaka’s Indigenous land sovereignties in Northern Uganda Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2024-04-23 Lara Rosenoff Gauvin
After the war between the Ugandan government and the Lord's Resistance Army (1986‐2006), 90 per cent of the displaced rural population in Northern Uganda returned to small‐scale farming on their ancestral lands and their systems of communal land stewardship. At the time, there was much debate about transitional justice interventions to address war's violence, but in that same period over 85 per cent

Love burnout: young women, mobile phones, and delayed marriage in Yaoundé, Cameroon Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2024-04-22 Ewa Majczak
This article examines how work towards the promise of love marriage comes to be exhausted. It focuses on young urban women living in Yaoundé, Cameroon, trying to ‘catch’ a husband using digital technologies in which photographs figure prominently. Focusing on the visual production of dating profiles, I show how mobile phones place young women at the centre of their own husband‐catching pursuits. Through

Feral ecologies of the human deep past: multispecies archaeology and palaeo‐synanthropy Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2024-04-22 Shumon T. Hussain
This article articulates recent advances in palaeo‐ecology with the goals and ambitions of multispecies archaeology. It centres the synanthropic nexus as a key context for the study of early human‐animal relationships and argues that its evolution yields important yet currently overlooked dynamics shaping the structure of the archaeological record. I first show how the dominant heuristic of wild versus
