With Endless Articulations
The evolution of information infrastructures has shaped nature conservation related to wild species, landscapes and collections of biological diversity, efforts that are germane to nation-building and many other political projects. Extensive practices of quantification are now embedded in environmental monitoring, biodiversity protection and the banking of plant genetic resources. This suggests a kaleidoscope of human intentions and institutional…
Unassisted steering
This composition is part of a special section of one-hundred-word pieces celebrating the inspiration of Katie Stewart. It juxtaposes brief vignettes from early fieldwork on a Mediterranean island

Anthropologists witnessing and reshaping the neoliberal academy
This Forum continues the discussions opened up in a previous Anuac Forum (vol. 5, n. 1, June 2016) about the changing nature of higher education under neoliberalism and its implications for the future of anthropology. We hope that these additional commentaries and exchanges will inspire university students, scholars and staff to move together towards a transnational coalition in favour of new visions of the university. The Forum features contribu…

Anthropologists in/of the neoliberal academy
This special Forum brings together short commentaries from anthropologists working in a variety of university settings and roles, to reflect on our immediate recent experiences with the imposition of public sector educational reforms. The contributions explore ongoing institutional transformations in Australia and New Zealand, Romania, Denmark, Greece, Finland, Mexico, US, Holland, Spain, Canada and the UK. We aim to establish a platform to host …
Environmental anthropology
Wild Sardinia
The author of Wild Sardinia: Indigeneity and the Global Dreamtimes of Environmentalism (University of Washington Press 2010) offers a summary of research and reply to critics. The work is contextualized in the context of contemporary debates in anthropology and environmental studies. The article discusses misunderstandings that might arise from reading across languages and disciplinary traditions, in order to broaden the scope of meaningful debat…
Norms and illegality in the social margins
The special section in this issue approaches the theme of illegal, semi-legal and extra-legal practices in Italy from a range of critical perspectives informed by ethnography, history and theory. The glimpses of social practice offered by our contributors explore the ambiguities and ironies of presumed distinctions between the lawful and the illicit, or the legitimate and the immoral. Five case studies depict different networks of social actors n…
Ethnography and the Cultural Politics of Environmentalism
Remodeling the Fortress of Conservation? Living Landscapes and the New Technologies of Environmental Governance
This essay reflects on paradigm shifts in environmental conservation, to examine elements of the 'fortress conservation' model that still persist in the context of more participatory approaches. Presenting a case study on Sardinia, an Italian island in the Mediterranean Sea, it considers how existing practices for the protection of natural landscapes and biodiversity are ambivalently shaped by both institutional mandates and informal collaboratio…
Rumpelstiltskin's Deliverables
Is there space for humanistic anthropology within the development sciences used to plan economic growth and ecological modernization? This article adapts a provocative fable to ponder a “global assemblage” designed to transfer authoritative knowledge and advanced technology for “sustainability” from the American Midwest to postsocialist eastern Europe. I retell the story of Rumpelstiltskin to reflect on participation in global systems of outsourc…
Cloning the wild mouflon
In 2001, a collaboration between Edinburgh scientists and a research team in Teramo, Italy, made the first surviving clone of an endangered mammal: a wild sheep species called the mouflon, indigenous to the Mediterranean islands of Sardinia, Corsica and Cyprus. Amidst fierce debates on the ethics of cloning, this application of biotechnology to wildlife conservation appeared relatively felicitous. Will cloning techniques bring redemption for the …
Ecology, alterity and resistance in Sardinia
Sin, Saints, and Sheep in Sardinia 1
Narratives of Catholicism, gender, and criminality are entangled with social constructions of ‘resistance’ to a new Gennargentu National Park on areas of traditional common lands in central Sardinia, Italy. Embodied identities are strategically implicated in moral discourses of grassroots opposition to a park. The notion of Sardinian resistance as a form of cultural authenticity is rooted in a local sphere of social practices and expectations tha…
How to Challenge a Green Giant
In thinking through these materials, I was inspired by Preston Hardison and other participants in the EANTH-L online community, who posted their commentaries on Mac Chapin's ‘Challenge to Conservationists’ in November 2004. I also wish to thank the students in my seminar on Globalization, Culture and Environment (Anthropology 641-004, University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, Autumn 2004) for their frank and lively discussions of Candace Slater's book. …
Ecology, alterity and resistance in Sardinia
La question de l'environnement est devenue un enjeu decisif dans la negociation de l'identite culturelle en Europe. Le probleme de la resistance locale a la creation de nouveaux sites de conservation nous entraine a interroger comment la topique de l'alterite culturelle donne forme aux programmes environnementaux des marges rurales de l'Union Europeenne. En Sardaigne, l'allochronisme' invoque pour expliquer la criminalite a egalement servi d'argu…
In the Rustic Kitchen
The evaluation of social communication in the town of Orgosolo is implicitly engaged with definitively Sardinian and traditional practices of hospitality. Sensually rooted in meaningful material culture, these practices enwrap participants in a moral world within which positive reciprocity and co-operation can be presumed as normative. Both language and everyday sociality in Orgosolo operate symbolically to transform verbal exchange so that the p…
Street Tactics
Contesting versions of local history in a small Sardinian town are made to seem real, natural, and legitimate through appeals to the senses. Catholic ritual processions fill the streets of Orgosolo with an ordered and persuasive multisensory vision of the past. Some nonpracticing Catholics collaborate to transform these historical representations, privileging the meaning-laden sensations connected to a past which is not necessarily religious, but…
Reclaiming the public university in Wisconsin
This commentary discusses the shift to austerity in the University of Wisconsin System, in the context of Wisconsin's urban, public doctoral research university in the city of Milwaukee. Critical discourses based on "the Wisconsin Idea" insist upon the necessity for both academic freedom and public support to higher education
