Managing Community Sport Organisations in Favelas During Crisis
The aim of this study was to explore and describe how a recent public health emergency affected the management of community sport organisations (CSOs) in favelas and how the crisis management strategy shaped community resilience. We relied upon the stakeholder theory of crisis management, which posits that during crises, organisations should adopt management practices that address the needs of multiple stakeholders rather than merely focusing on …
Making Archives in Place
This paper provides a reflexive account of creative exchange in critical heritage studies research. It does so by recounting the methodological opportunities and challenges of researching on a large interdisciplinary heritage programme. We tested this creative exchange approach when undertaking fieldwork with a museum and a history society in the UK’s Clay Country in Cornwall, which resulted in a public-facing output: a short film titled ‘Archive…
Arts–Research Collaboration
What is arts–research collaboration and how does it work? What does arts–research collaboration as method for qualitative inquiry do? What is the effect of collaboration on creative practice and academic research? Drawing on a collaboration between an anthropologist and an artist, this article addresses a surprising lack of qualitative inquiry into collaboration between creative practitioners and academic researchers. By recounting how the author…
Faire décroître les collections pour le patrimoine du futur
Cet article fait le point sur les frustrations des conservateurs dans (ce que nous appelons) « la lutte contre la profusion ». Les conservateurs expriment la difficulté d’acquérir la culture matérielle du quotidien face aux vastes collections déjà existantes. Ils expliquent que celles-ci ont été créées, en partie, par la crainte de voir disparaître ce qui devait être préservé. L’accumulation sans limite, et tout garder pour toujours, posent quest…
De-growing museum collections for new heritage futures
This article focuses on curators’ frustrations with (what we call) ‘the profusion struggle’. Curators express the difficulty of collecting the material culture of everyday life when faced with vast existing collections. They explain that these were assembled, partly, from anxiety to gather up what was anticipated at risk of being lost. Unlimited accumulation, and keeping everything forever, are being called into question, especially through the d…
Assembling the New
Change is highly valued within the museum sector and related literatures. Despite this emphasis, it is claimed that the field struggles to adequately understand and explain change processes, and that new critical and methodological tools are needed to move discussion forward (Peacock 2013). This paper offers one possible route by developing an anthropologically informed, ethnographic approach to studying the museum as organization. Illustrated th…

Other People's Homes as Sites of Uncertainty
The home visit-when professionals work in service users' homes-is a growing phenomenon. It changes the configuration of home-both for home living and for those who go to work in other people's homes. In this paper we advance recent discussions of the emotional and political geographies of home through a focus on the home visit worker and her or his experience of other people's homes as sites of uncertainty. For such workers the home visit is play…
Examining the 'flexible museum
Flexibility - considered broadly as adaptability and responsiveness to external forces - is a highly valued trait in late-modern life. As it reaches into new settings, there is scope to examine the diverse meanings, forms, and effects that it takes on. Using Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum (Glasgow) as a case-study, this paper explores how a 'flexible museum' is produced and sustained. By recounting ethnographic observation of the making of a …
Safety in movement
Mobile and locative digital media are an inextricable part of everyday working environments, are part of everyday work practices in organizations, and are part of organizational infrastructures. Likewise occupational safety and health (OSH) in many ways underpins the ways that people work in organizations. Yet the relationship of OSH to media, and to the ways in which people are mobile while at work, has remained underexplored in academic scholar…
The safe hand
In this article, the authors demonstrate how an anthropologically informed approach that attends to the material culture of occupational safety and health (OSH) offers new insights for such applied research fields. Research into OSH typically seeks to solve its perennial problem of 'improving' workers' health and safety through scholarship dominated by management disciplines, human factors and ergonomic sciences, and psychological and physiologic…
Short-Term Ethnography
In this article, we explore how short-term theoretically informed ethnography is emerging as an approach to doing research that is contemporary in both its subject matter and in its use for applied research projects designed to lead to informed interventions in the world. We argue that far from being a 'quick and dirty' route to doing qualitative research, short-term ethnography is characterized by forms of intensity that lead to deep and valid w…
The multisensory museum
Traditionally, museums have been visual - ‘Do Not Touch’ - spaces. However, interactive and multisensory media are increasingly being used to help pursue wider democratic goals of appealing to new and more diverse audiences. This essay examines how one museum, Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow (Scotland), has sought to reconfigure its sensory regimes of display. It discusses the incorporation of multiple sensory logics and queries whe…

The SCOFF questionnaire
Eating disorders are among the most common psychiatric disorders in young women. Early detection and treatment improves prognosis, but presentation is often cryptic—for example, via physical symptoms in primary care. Ability to diagnose the condition varies and can be inadequate,1 and existing questionnaires for detection 2 3 are lengthy and may require specialist interpretation. No simple, memorable screening instruments are available for non-sp…
