Burning Wet Waste: Environmental Particularity, Material Specificity, and the Universality of Infrastructure The Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology (IF 0.98) Pub Date : 2022-12-06 Matt Barlow
The problem of plastic waste accumulating in the environment has become ubiquitous in recent years. One way in which urban governments are looking to solve this issue is by investing one of several thermodynamic technologies that fall under the umbrella term ‘waste-to-energy’. The drawback of such technologies is that the waste stream must be consistent in quality and quantity. By drawing on ethnographic

Beauty for Development? Betel Aesthetics and Socioeconomic Stability in Urban Solomon Islands The Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology (IF 0.98) Pub Date : 2022-10-01 Stephanie Ketterer Hobbis, Geoffrey Hobbis
Betel users are easy to identify. When chewed, betel colours its consumers’ saliva, teeth and lips in a distinct bright red. Since proper use of betel requires spitting of excess saliva, the practice also tends to stain the spaces surrounding its consumers. Because of these distinct aesthetic markers, betel has become a site of contestation in urban Solomon Islands. The practice is publicly discussed
