Healing Journeys
Background: To move beyond more traditional approaches to patient education, a hospital and healthcare group in Singapore adopted person-centred and participatory principles in health education, leveraging digital storytelling (DST) to share information and provide health advice on ten common and high-burden health conditions. Approach: DST is a participatory approach to health education that is person-centric, honours lived experiences and is ef…
Enzyme-treated microalgal co-product diets for rainbow trout aquaculture
Aquaculture is one of the fastest-growing food sectors, producing almost 50% of fish for human consumption worldwide. However, relying on fish meal and oil for aquaculture diets is not sustainable economically or environmentally. Aquaculture feeds also contain terrestrial plant ingredients with indigestible forms of phosphorus (P), of which 70%–80% can be released into aquatic environments. This P influx contributes to eutrophication of freshwate…
Varieties of volatility
This article explores the quantitative and qualitative dimensions of volatility and their implications for cultural analysis in a range of fields. From quantitative finance, it takes the notion of 'delta-hedging', the suspension or neutralization of directionality to get access to volatility, and applies this to qualitative areas such as surfing, dance, cinema, and language
Introduction
The term 'volatility' applies to changeability: both that which can be measured, such as temperatures and stock prices, and that which cannot be easily measured, such as affects and emotions. Quantitative financial volatility has typically been studied quite separately from art, culture, and everyday life. Randy Martin's work, which addressed the resonances between volatility in dance and finance, was a notable exception. Martin focused on deriva…
Time and the Rhetoric of Capital
Lauren Berlant, Moishe Postone, and Michael Silverstein were colleagues at the University of Chicago for over thirty years. Postone was one of the leading Marxist thinkers in the world; Silverstein was the leading linguistic anthropologist of his generation; and Berlant was the most influential literary theorist of her generation. This article examines whether Marxism, semiotic linguistics, and literary studies are compatible. However, the author…
Compounded Mediation
The increasing roles of machine learning and artificial intelligence in the construction of cultural heritage and humanities datasets necessitate critical examination of the myriad biases introduced by machines, algorithms, and the humans who build and deploy them. From image classification to optical character recognition, the effects of decisions ostensibly made by machines compound through the digitization pipeline and redouble in each step, m…

Modeling the impact of school reopening on Sars-CoV-2 transmission using contact structure data from Shanghai
These results, based on contact structure data from Shanghai, suggest that schools can reopen with proper precautions during conditions of extreme contact reduction and during conditions of reasonable levels of reopening in the rest of the community
A Boon for Old Times
Jim Boon, Benjamin Lee, and Edward LiPuma were overlapping graduate students in the University of Chicago's anthropology department in the early 1970s. At the same time, the business school and economics department were inventing modern finance. The key figures were Frank Knight, one of the founders of the Chicago School of Economics, Clifford Geertz, anthropology professor and one of Jim's Ph.D. advisors, and Fischer Black, one of the inventors …
Derivatives and the Wealth of Societies
Derivatives were responsible for one of the worst financial meltdowns in history, one from which we have not yet fully recovered. However, they are likewise capable of generating some of the most incredible wealth we have ever seen. This book asks how we might ensure the latter while avoiding the former. Looking past the usual arguments for the regulation or abolition of derivative finance, it asks a more probing question: what kinds of social in…
Why we fight
This survey article deals with a network that can be loosely described as the "counter-jihad movement" (CJM). CJM activists are a loose collection of bloggers, political parties, street movements, think tanks, campaign groups, and pundits across several countries, all united by the shared belief that, to some degree, the "Muslim world" is at war with the "West." Overall, the CJM shares a great deal with right wing extremism more broadly. However,…

Movement after Randy Martin
This section collects a series of short reflections on the life, camaraderie, and scholarship of Randy Martin, a longtime member of the Social Text editorial collective. In place of definitive, authoritative analyses of Martin's work, these pieces present a montage of personal snapshots by people that collaborated, moved, thought, wrote, edited, and learned with him
Striking dynamics and kinetic properties of boxing and MMA gloves
With the growing popularity of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) as a competitive sport, questions regarding the dynamic response and properties of MMA gloves arise. High-energy impacts from punches are very similar to boxing yet MMA competition requires the use of 4 oz fingerless glove, compared to the larger full enclosure boxing glove. This work assessed the kinetic properties and strike dynamics of MMA gloves and compared findings with traditional box…
Window Dressing 2.0
This article explores the use of Web 2.0 tools in constituency-level campaigns in the UK 2010 general election. Specifically it examines whether Web 2.0 use was undertaken with a goal of promoting interaction with voters or was simply a ‘window-dressing’ exercise. It does so using data from a nationwide survey of election agents, content analysis of a subset of campaign websites, and information collected through interviews with candidates. The r…
Opinions
One of the more salutory effects of the financial crisis in 2007-8 has been the realization, even by some economists, that numbers do not explain everything and that social forms and relations also play a major part in financial trading. Here anthropologists (and some sociologists) have come to the fore. The JBA therefore asked a number of scholars to write an opinion piece about different aspects of the anthropology of finance that interested th…
A Social Approach to the Financial Derivatives Markets
This essay uses the credit crisis as an example to illuminate what a social approach to the financial markets would look like. We sketch out a theoretical and thematic journey whose end is to make the social so visible that a better appreciation of the financial field comes into focus. To do this, we foreground the issues of the production of the market (as a socially imagined totality), the evolution of a habitus of work founded on a speculative…
The Politics of Survival
In this provocative analysis of global politics, the anthropologist Marc Abeles argues that the meaning and aims of political action have radically changed in the era of globalization. As dangers such as terrorism and global warming have moved to the fore of global consciousness, foreboding has replaced the belief that tomorrow will be better than today. Survival, outlasting the uncertainties and threats of a precarious future, has supplanted har…
Avant-Garde Poetry as Subcultural Practice
This essay returns us to the moment when white hipsterism was first being named as a subculture and structure of feeling and was beginning to shape the poetry and prose of writers like Diane di Prima and Norman Mailer. I examine the differences between hipsterism in Mailer and di Prima, hoping to expand overwhelmingly masculine histories of "cool." I also underscore the influence that new vernacular practices like hipness and camp exerted on Amer…
The Future of Universities and the Fate of Free Inquiry and Academic Freedom
This paper suggests that the time for free inquiry and academic freedom at European universities has rarely been better than at present, that debates and results arising from independent scientific discourse have rarely had better chances of blossoming and evoking a response than in the time in which we now live, and that the basic rules of university and scholarly work in general are, by no means, seriously threatened in Europe, in comparison to…

Considering human–primate transmission of measles virus through the prism of risk analysis
Measles is a respiratory virus that is endemic to humans. Human–nonhuman primate (NHP) transmission of the measles virus has been shown to cause significant morbidity and mortality in NHP populations. We investigated serological evidence of exposure to measles virus in two free‐ranging populations of macaques at the Bukit Timah (BTNR) and Central Catchment Nature (CCNR) reserves in Singapore and the Swoyambhu Temple in Katmandu, Nepal. At BTNR/CC…
The Empire of Love
In The Empire of Love anthropologist Elizabeth A. Povinelli reflects on a set of ethical and normative claims about the governance of love, sociality, and the body that circulates in liberal settler colonies such as the United States and Australia. She boldly theorizes intimate relations as pivotal sites where liberal logics and aspirations absorbed through settler imperialism are manifest, where discourses of self-sovereignty, social constraint,…

Talking Heads
In Talking Heads, Benjamin Lee situates himself at the convergence of multiple disciplines: philosophy, linguistics, anthropology, and literary theory. He offers a nuanced exploration of the central questions shared by these disciplines during the modern era - questions regarding the relations between language, subjectivity, community, and the external world. Scholars in each discipline approach these questions from significantly different angles…
Financial Derivatives and the Globalization of Risk
This volume explores the complex interplay between financial derivatives, globalization, and the increasing pervasiveness of risk in contemporary society. The contributors, drawing from anthropology, economics, and sociology, examine how derivatives-financial instruments whose value is derived from an underlying asset-have transformed global markets and impacted diverse social spheres. They analyze the ways in which derivatives create new forms o…
Financial derivatives and the rise of circulation
The analysis argues that the outsourcing of production from the metropole generated problems of monetary connectivity that motivated the banking sector to develop and market a new species of derivative: the financial derivative. Virtually non-existent until 1973, such derivatives would soon become a 100 trillion dollar market. Making a market for these derivatives opened the door for speculative capital just as the attempt by this market to captu…

Linguistics
Psychosocial Theories of the Self
Metalanguages and subjectivities
Since the beginnings of the modern era, the trope of language has underlain the Western figuration of subjectivity. Behind Descartes' cogito argument is a dico variant ("I am, I exist [ego sum, ego existo] is necessarily true each time that I pronounce it, or that I mentally conceive it"), and the deconstructionist turn in the humanities and social sciences suggests that although the royal road to the unconscious may be through dreams, its bedroc…
