Cultural learning with 3D objects
This paper explores the viability of 3D imaging in cultural heritage management as a cultural learning resource for Australian Indigenous communities, explored through a case study from the Wiradjuri Nation in the Murrumbidgee Region of New South Wales. A methodology incorporating 3D imaging, yarning, and thematic analysis has provided a proof of concept for a culturally sensitive approach when assessing cultural values and has identified the edu…
The Concerning Intersections of Sovereign Citizen and Indigenous Sovereignty Claims
In Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand, the influence of sovereign citizen pseudolaw on Indigenous sovereignty advocacy is increasingly visible. This influence was apparent in the referendum on an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice, COVID-19 protests, and in legal claims and native title disputes. In this article, we explain how sovereign citizen pseudolaw damages Indigenous peoples and communities by undermining their efforts to obtain s…
The Internationalisation of Pseudolaw
Pseudolaw refers to the phenomenon whereby adherents adopt the forms and structures of legal argumentation while substituting the substantive content and underlying principles for a distinct and parallel set of beliefs. In this article, we explore and catalogue the forms of pseudolegal claims made by a particular subset of adherents – the sovereign citizen movement – in one part of the common law world: courts in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealan…
Youth and Decolonial Politics in a Relational Context
The lives of children and young people are conditioned in important ways by the imperial and colonial intimacies that have shaped our world. Yet, we know relatively little about how they encounter and comprehend the histories, legacies, and continuities of colonisation and racial capitalism, nor how this comes to shape their political orientations and practices. This article introduces a series of five papers that examine the everyday practices, …
Native Title as Displaced Mediator
This article considers how native title is a legal manifestation of settler colonialism that operates as a displaced mediator. Using native title cases from Australia and elsewhere, this article argues that native title displaces Indigenous laws, customs, and practices in constructing native title holders as ‘traditional’ to mediate their integration into the so-called ‘modern’ nation. Legal processes construct native title and then retroactively…
Feeling the pulse of the city
Recent work in urban and political geography has explored how affective life is becoming intertwined with security apparatuses. This paper situates this interest within a longer history by exploring how affect–specifically “tension”–emerged as an object of political concern and intervention in US cities during the postwar era. Focusing on Detroit, we trace how northern liberals responded to an escalation in racial unrest by developing programs th…
An I fort Jews were supposed to be lucky!” Jewish Wide Boys, Soho, and Postwar British Cinema
There is currently a lack of scholarship on Jewish cinema in Britain. As Kevin Gough-Yates has shown, films with Jewish themes are also absent from the postwar period. This article seeks to address this issue by identifying two unique Jewish protagonists who feature in films set in Soho, a historically cosmopolitan center. The character Johnny Jackson (Laurence Harvey) in Expresso Bongo (Val Guest, 1960) is representative of the postwar spiv/wide…
Memorial
Memorial James E. Young (bio) At the very heart of Sarah Cameron Sunde's sublime 36.5/A Durational Performance with the Sea, I find an ineluctable, deeply ingrained memorial logic. The artist's own account of the work's origins reads like a revelatory prose poem: On Monday, August 12, 2013, I was sitting on the rocks by a tidal bay in Maine, thinking about New York City's current relationship to water and the contemporary relationship of art to s…
Beyond improvisation? The rise and rise of youth entrepreneurs in north India
This paper draws on qualitative fieldwork conducted in 2004–5, 2010 and 2012 to examine the recent expansion of higher education markets in north India. It focuses on a group of young men who attended university in the city of Meerut, Uttar Pradesh. Faced with dismal job prospects, they began to improvise, making money ad hoc by acting as small‐scale political brokers on campus. However, some of them subsequently utilised these improvisational sk…
From a Politics of Conviction to a Politics of Interest? The Changing Ontologics of Youth Politics in India and Nicaragua
There exists a longstanding association between youth and revolution, partly due to the assumption that the politics of the former are inherently "prefigurative" in nature. Youth politics can often actually be quite conservative, however, as can be observed in contemporary Nicaragua, where rather than attempting to "change the world" in the way that previous militant youth generations were famously associated with, current Sandinista youth activi…
Diet Diversity in Pastoral and Agro-pastoral Households in Ugandan Rangeland Ecosystems
We explore how diet diversity differs with agricultural seasons and between households within pastoral and agro-pastoral livelihood systems, using variety of foods consumed as a less complex proxy indicator of food insecurity than benchmark indicators like anthropometry and serum nutrients. The study was in the central part of the rangelands in Uganda. Seventy nine households were monitored for three seasons, and eight food groups consumed during…
Jugād
This article examines the social and political significance of the Indian term jugād, which, crudely, means “make do and mend” or “find a way around”—for example, fixing a car fan belt with a pair of tights. Building on research conducted by Craig Jeffrey in 2004 and 2005 in western Uttar Pradesh, we show that a set of lower middle-class “fixers” has emerged among underemployed male youth in north India, who make large amounts of money acting as …
The word on the street
Waiting for change
This paper examines waiting, caste and politics through reference to the cultural and political practices of educated unemployed young men in India. We show through ethnographic fieldwork in Uttar Pradesh how a shared sense of young male limbo sometimes erodes caste divides. While waiting in poorly provisioned north Indian universities, young men develop novel cultures that bridge caste, class and religion. They also collaborate across class, cas…
Postcards from Heaven
This article examines a little-known project funded by the US Air Force and CIA, and carried out by communications scientists at the University of Washington during the early 1950s. Project Revere sought to investigate how the seemingly humble information leaflet could be deployed, via air drops, as a “flexible weapon” to spark “interpersonal communications” and spread rumours throughout particular target populations. While the testing ground for…

The “Moral Hazards” of Microfinance
This paper explores how economic ideas are produced, how they travel, and how they are contested, in complex and contingent ways, in particular places. It stems from events that took place in coastal Andhra Pradesh, India, where I conducted fieldwork on microfinance programs during 2007. I begin by tracing how the practices of microfinance—and the ideas and rationalities underpinning them—have been increasingly globalized as a development tool si…
Gender, Mobility and the Financialisation of Development
This article challenges popular claims about the capacity for microfinance to reduce poverty and empower women in the global South. Instead, I posit microfinance as a contradictory development tool, one that creates possibilities for both the contestation and continuation of unequal social relations at multiple scales. The article is divided into two major sections. I begin by examining the assumptions embedded in mainstream financial mappings of…
Africa Must Unite Revisited
Celebrating the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Kwame Nkrumah, this essay reflects on contemporary aspects of observations presented in Africa Must Unite , Nkrumah's magnum opus, which made a comprehensive case for uniting the newly independent states of Africa. The focus here is on the utility of the conceptual framework that Nkrumah provided for the purpose of evaluating expressions of continental unification in Africa. Nkrumah's notions …

The multinational enterprise and subsidiary evolution
This paper explores the major developments in the multinational enterprise (MNE) literature; along with the research conducted on Scottish-based MNE subsidiaries and the policy changes that have taken place in Scotland aimed at promoting foreign direct investment (FDI). It is suggested that subsidiaries may evolve from the branch plant to the developmental and the entrepreneurial subsidiary type; with each of these three subsidiary types contribu…

Geographies of security and statehood in Norway’s ‘Battle of the North’
The nature of privatisation in Britain, 1979–85
Since 1979 the term 'privatisation' has been much in evidence. It usually refers to three attempts by the Thatcher governments to 'roll back the public sector' ‐ selling parts of the nationalised industries, opening them up to greater competition, and contracting out public sector services to the private sector. This article argues that the thrust of the privatisation strategy goes much wider than is usually appreciated. It describes the case for…
