What does an anthropologist's archive look like? Where is it located? And is the anthropology of archives important for the understanding of anthropological thinking today? Here we answer these questions by analysing the various life histories of the archival fragments of one of the most puzzling and influential anthropologists in the history of Russian and Soviet anthropology: Sergei Mikhailovich Shirokogoroff (1887-1939). Shirokogoroff is credi…
Landscape and Subjectivity in the Work of Patrick Keiller, W.G. Sebald, and Iain Sinclair
Situating Keiller, Sebald, and Sinclair as the three leading voices in ‘English psychogeography’, this book examines what, apart from a shared interest in English landscape and townscape, connects their work; it discovers this in the cultivation of a certain ‘affective’ mode or sensibility especially attuned to the cultural anxieties of the twentieth century’s closing decades. As it goes on, the book explores motifs including ‘essayism’, the reco…
Etnos Thinking in the Long Twentieth Century
This chapter contextualizes the first appearance of ‘etnos’ as a principal object of research of ethnography as a discipline. It explores etnos from the end of the nineteenth century, right through to the present day. Here, etnos is examined in relation to its connections to both the development of Biosocial Science in Russia and to Soviet Marxism, and alongside wider concepts
Grounding Etnos Theory
This is a highly contextualized essay on the history of etnos theory from roughly the 18th century to the 21st century. The introduction demonstrates how various concepts of identity arose from the concrete experiences that specific ethnographers had with the people who hosted them, and that these sometimes-competing accounts of etnos, minzu, and ethnie were underwritten by concrete experiences. Historically, the introduction would touch on the f…
Depression, Dust Bowl, Demography, and Drought
The strong influence of colonial agrarian policies on the process of decolonization in Eastern Africa has been recognized by historians for some time. The Depression struck savagely at the economies of all the African colonies from 1929 until 1935, affecting both European settler agriculture and African production. The South African Soil Erosion Conference of 1929, and the creation of a Soil Erosion Council in the Union, resulted in the implement…
Varga, Joseph J., Hell’s Kitchen and the Battle for Urban Space
Rangifer Domus
As a powerful optimization technique, multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithms have been widely used in various fields. However, performing well in terms of convergence and diversity simultaneously is still a challenging task for most existing algorithms. In this paper, a multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm based on two-archive mechanism (MOPSO_TA) is proposed for the above challenge. First, two archives, including…
Vegetation and Climate Changes in the Bolshoe Inyaptukskoe Lake Basin (North Baikal Plateau) in the Middle and Late Holocene
This article presents new interdisciplinary observations relating to environmental changes in the Bolshoe Inyaptukskoe Lake Basin, North Baikal Plateau. A column taken from a loam/turf deposit at 1320 m above sea level is shown to reflect changes in vegetation and climate over the last 8–9 thousand years through its palynology, radiocarbon chronology, and the count of charcoal particles. The chronology of the reconstructed changes in the vegetati…
Cycling in the Complexity of Early Societies
Warfare is commonly viewed as a driving force of the process of aggregation of initially independent villages into larger and more complex political units that started several thousand years ago and quickly lead to the appearance of chiefdoms, states, and empires. Here we build on extensions and generalizations of Carneiro’s (1970) argument to develop a spatially explicit agent-based model of the emergence of early complex societies via warfare. …

The true story of the Mau Mau rebellion of 1952-60 in Kenya, told for the first time This book tells for the first time the story of the dirty war the British fought in Kenya, in the run-up to the country's independence in 1964. In 1952, after years of tension and bitterness, the grievances of the Gikuyu people of central Kenya exploded into open rebellion. Only 32 European settlers died in the subsequent fighting, but more than 1,800 African civ…

Factional Competition and Political Development in the New World
Factionalism is an important force of social transformation, and this volume examines how factional competition in the kinship and political structures in ancient New World societies led to the development of chiefdoms, states and empires. The case studies, from a range of New World societies, represent all levels of non-egalitarian societies and a wide variety of ecological settings in the New World. They document the effects of factionalism on …

The Ecology of Survival
Introduction
There is no doubting the seriousness of environmental and agrarian problems in Africa today in the eyes of the developed world. Human life, natural habitat, soils and species are all thought to be endangered in the continent to an extent never known before. The ‘crisis’ in Africa, whether enunciated in terms of sheer human suffering and the tragedy of famine, the threat to wildlife or the spread of desertification, is becoming a commonplace of ac…

Africans and Agricultural Production in Colonial Kenya
This article examines the economic effects of the Second World War on African peasant producers in Kenya, and places the war years within the context of the colony's economic difficulties during the Depression. In the mid-1930s the Kenya government sought to encourage African production, particularly among the Kikuyu and Abaluhya, in order to bolster the fiscal base of the colonial state and to subsidize the survival of the settler farming commun…

The opening of the Enlightenment Gallery at the British Museum in 2003 is doubly welcome: first, because it opens up to visitors the debates about the history and purpose of museums; and, secondly, because it puts philosophy and political theory back at the centre of our work. The British Museum has made a major statement about the place of museums in society and should be warmly congratulated for this
