In this thematic issue we offer anthropologically-informed snapshots of the different forms that wellbeing takes when approached from place-based perspectives. We are interested in highlighting and engaging with the undermining of place in the literature on wellbeing, which has produced a lack of appreciation for the role that culture plays in forming and informing different discourses, understandings and practices of wellbeing, as well as wellbeing scholarship itself. Our articles examine place as part of a project that aims at generating new contexts from which to ‘think otherwise’ about social policy, politics, the creation of knowledge, and, ultimately, existence.

在本专题中，我们提供了人类学方面的快照，这些快照从基于场所的角度出发探讨了幸福所采取的不同形式。我们有兴趣强调和参与破坏福利的文献，这使人们对文化在形成和告知不同的福利话语，理解和实践以及福利奖学金本身中所起的作用缺乏认识。我们的文章将地点视作项目的一部分，该项目旨在产生新的环境，从中“思考”社会政策，政治，知识的创造以及最终的生存。
