Placing the war dead
The placing of the military dead of modern wars abstracts (physically and/or symbolically) the soldier from their peacetime identity and social networks in order to integrate them into a community of those who died for a higher cause. This article considers the case of military burials within a ‘civilian’ cemetery to argue that in this case, military dead stay connected to their families and communities, who remain involved in the post-mortem tra…
Tourism
Many accounts of tourism have adopted an almost paradigmatic visual model of the gaze. This collection presents an expanded notion of spectatorship with a more dynamic sense of embodied and performed engagement with places. The approach resonates with ideas in anthropology, sociology, and geography on performance, invented traditions, constructed places and traveling cultures. Contributions highlight the often contradictory, contested and paradox…
Encountering the Past
Among the many areas of interest shared by archaeology and anthropology is the study of human bones. Although some of the cruder approaches to describing human diversity from the form and capacity of crania have, rightly, fallen out of favor, this shared interest in bones and, in particular, how the living think about, feel about, and interact with bones of the dead persists and continues to animate both anthropological and archaeological scholar…
Morts pour la France
This article considers the power of things to affect how the past is remembered in the aftermath of mass violence, through the case of the 'destroyed villages' ( villages détruits) of the battlefield of Verdun, theatre in 1916 of one of the most destructive battles of World War I. As well as causing mass military death, the battle also led to the 'death' of nine small villages, declared to have 'died for France' and incorporated into the post-war…
Memorials in the Aftermath of Armed Conflict
Landscape
When we think about landscape, we tend to think of natural scenery, empty of people; of a view, spread in front of our eyes; or of a backdrop, a stage for people’s movements and activities. The anthropology of landscape challenges all of these ideas. By sharing and observing local lives through ethnographic fieldwork, anthropologists have realised that landscapes matter deeply to people: they care about the landscapes they inhabit, materially sha…
A French place without a cheese
In France, the classic produit du terroir, the local product that with its mix of skill and raw materials embodies the distinctive tie between people and their terroir (soil), is cheese. Thus, when inhabitants of the Argonne say that it "does not even have a cheese", they imply that it lacks a patrimoine (cultural heritage). On the other hand, they do make passionate claims about 'being Argonnais', conveying a marked recognition of, and attachmen…
