Mystic Christianity and Cosmic Integration: On a Pilgrim Trail with John Moriarty
This essay takes initial steps on a journey with an Irish eco-spiritual philosopher, the late John Moriarty. As a gateway into his broader oeuvre and way of thinking, we explore Moriarty's image of the Christian mystical Easter journey-the Triduum Sacrum-as a vision for humanity and the planet. After briefly reviewing his spiritual biography, we consider Moriarty's re-framing of the story as a journey to the bottom of a symbolic Grand Canyon, a m…
On the carrying stream into the European mountain: Roots and routes of creative (Scottish) ethnology
Since 2016, a diverse network of academic researchers, creative practitioners and cultural activists has emerged in Scotland, keen to explore the potential of a “creative ethnology”. This is in part a response to the politico-cultural and wider intellectual climate in the aftermath of the referendum on Scottish independence in 2014, and to ongoing debates in the arts and academia. As activists in this network, and ethnologists at almost opposite …
Obituary for Christian Giordano
At the end of last year, the AJEC team received the sad news that Christian Giordano had suddenly died during his Christmas holidays in Vilnius. Christian was one of the founders of AJEC, shaped the journal significantly during its early years as co-editor (1990-2001) and, for a time (1992-1998), publisher. He remained connected with it over the years, regularly acting as peer reviewer and informal advisor during Ullrich's tenure as editor. His f…
Coming Home to Europe. Travels and Travails in a Lost Continent
The notion of European visions, visions of Europe, or indeed ‘Eurovisions’, has been popular for some time. Shrouded in a mist of discourse, this Europe is now almost unknowable. This essay explores ways of knowing Europe through its debatable lands in the relationship between Heimat and frontier. *** Zamisel o »evropskih vizijah«, »vizijah Evrope« ali »evrovizijah« je popularna že nekaj časa. Zakrita v mešanici diskurzov je ta Evropa skoraj nepo…
Aye'll be back’: The quest for Scotland's Independence (Respond to this article at http://www.therai.org.uk/at/debate)

Towards an Ethnology Beyond Self, Other and Third: Toposophical Explorations
Ethnology has long been seen as concerned with, as one would nowadays say, ‘constructing the nation’, thus invariably lending support to the nationalist project. In the nineteenth century, this was a matter of consolidating the emerging nation states primarily, but not only in Central, Eastern and Southern Europe. Whereas in the twentieth-century some Western European states have experienced regional nationalism (e.g. in Catalonia or Scotland) as…
Blurring the Boundaries between Literature and Anthropology. A British Perspective
Effacer les limites entre la littérature et l'anthropologie. Une perspective britannique En tant que discipline, l'anthropologie tend à être associée avec les sciences sociales plutôt que les lettres et l'on souligne rarement l'interaction entre l'anthropologie et la littérature. Cependant de nombreux anthropologues ont dialogué de façon fructueuse avec des auteurs tels que Jane Austen et E.M. Foster, et de leur côté Robert Louis Stevenson, Thoma…
Crossing Boundaries, Exploring the Frontier
Taking Park's postulate of a 'marginal man' as its starting point, this essay reviews some of the key ideas and approaches that have underpinned the development of the Anthropological Journal of European Cultures from its inception. It concentrates on a discussion of the concept of 'cultures' - liminal, hybrid or otherwise - in different contexts and from different perspectives - boundaries and frontiers, places and spaces, migrants and memory - …
European Ethnology, Europeanist Anthropology and Beyond
As I settle down to put together this issue, it occurs to me that the development of AJEC in its various phases displays an uncanny correspondence with my personal professional trajectory so far. Its inception and first volume happened during my postdoctoral fellowship when I was happy to place one of my first (coauthored) academic articles in its inaugural issue. The remainder of AJEC’s first approximate decade coincides with my time as a lectur…

Putting the Folk in Their Place
The folk, who have been exorcised from contemporary academic concern, are now replaced with the populace. Simultaneously, places as ecological loci of meaning and social relations have been discarded in favour of globalised spaces. Arguably, the contemporary obsession with proving the inauthenticity of tradition is itself an essentialising discourse. This obsession has helped destroy places and their ecological relationships. European ethnology o…
Towards a New Ethnology
The previous issue of AJEC had ‘Ethnological Approaches to Cultural Heritages’ as its theme. As that issue was being produced, the Société Internationale d’Ethnologie et de Folklore (SIEF) held its 9th Congress, entitled ‘Transcending European Heritages: Liberating the Ethnological Imagination’, at the University of Ulster during the week 16–20 June, 2008 (see Fenske 2008 for details). This offered an opportunity to explore our theme further, and…

EuroVisions: Journeys to the Heart of a Lost Continent
Once upon a time – as the ancestors of one tradition in European ethnology would transcribe the opening term allegedly used by their sources – once upon a time, there was a place called ‘Europe’. It was a beautiful place to behold, and indeed to live in. That does not mean it was Paradise, or even only near-perfect. Like everywhere else, it had its faults and problems in generous quantities, but many people were more than happy to live there. Eve…
