Large sardine resource discovered off south-eastern Australia: Potential risks, challenges and benefits of establishing a new fishery
This paper documents the discovery of a large sardine (Sardinops sagax) resource off South-eastern Australia. We use information from three ichthyoplankton surveys for jack mackerel to apply the Daily Egg Production Method (DEPM) to the South-eastern sardine stock. Mean daily egg production was estimated from survey data. Spawning area was estimated from the surveys and using a habitat suitability model to predict presence/absence of eggs in unsu…
More seats at 'the Philosopher's Table: The reinvigoration of a multicultural community association in southern Italy during and post-pandemic
How voluntary associations promote social interaction across difference and contribute to building diverse communities are questions of relevance in Italy and beyond. To be successful, associations must earn and maintain reputations as groups worth joining. To do so can be challenging, given that they bring together people with different life experiences and languages. To thrive, groups must remain flexible and adaptive. This article addresses an…
Kaharingan or Hindu Kaharingan
Many scholars have addressed processes whereby local faiths have come to be classified as Hindu. In Indonesia, such classifications are of profound significance among practitioners and for the state. For some Ngaju Dayaks, an indigenous people of Indonesian Borneo, obtaining recognition of Kaharingan, the traditional faith, as Hinduism was part of a struggle for social justice. Others demand that the alliance between Kaharingan and Hinduism be di…
Informal Social Organisations, Friendship and Belonging: New Research on Expatriates in Puglia, Italy
This note presents partial results of an on-going study of whether and how informal social organisations that include both host country and expatriate members serve as settings for expatriates to establish new relationships and develop a sense of belonging in a new environment. It is set in Puglia’s farthest southern reaches, a cultural and geographic zone called Salento. Salento has become known internationally for its distinctive folk music and…
Observed strong subsurface marine heatwaves in the tropical western Pacific Ocean
Marine heatwaves (MHWs), which are discrete extreme oceanic warming events, have important impacts on the marine ecosystem, fishery resources, and social economy. Previous studies based on sea surface temperature suggest that MHWs in the tropical western Pacific Ocean are very weak. However, here we show that the MHWs observed by the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean/Triangle Trans-Ocean Buoy Network buoys in the tropical western Pacific Ocean are unexpe…
How Do You Solve a Problem Like Saint Orsola: Urban Space and Neighborhood Renewal in Florence’s Historic Center
Drawing upon results of fieldwork conducted from 2005 to 2018 in Florence, Italy, the article discusses renovation of a medieval convent and other urban renewal activities in the city center. It examines how the projects intersect with broader concerns regarding identity, change, and workways in the San Lorenzo neighborhood. San Lorenzo has deep associations with trade, including outdoor vending. Hundreds of men and women work in its homonymous o…

On the Catholic Church and indigenous identities: Notes from Indonesian Borneo
This article draws from a range of sources by Catholic missionaries, past and present, to explore relationships among culture, religion and identity among native peoples in eastern Indonesian Borneo. Older materials, including parish journals, provide documentation of little-known local beliefs and practices. More recent ones, including missionaries' ethnographic and ethnohistorical publications, offer insight into how the Church affects and resp…
Heritage and Perceptions of Ethnicity in an ‘Italian’ Market: The Case of San Lorenzo
Florence, Italy, the ‘City of Art’, is also a city of merchants. In the San Lorenzo neighbourhood, approximately 300 outdoor stands surround a nineteenth-century market building with space for 200 businesses. Commerce is constant but how it is conducted, and by whom, is changing. On the one hand, immigrant vendors are rapidly replacing Italian ones. On the other, growing numbers of vendors are relying more heavily on international tourists to sup…
The vulnerability of global cities to climate hazards
This paper examines the vulnerabilities of three global coastal cities — Mumbai, Rio de Janeiro and Shanghai — to climate hazards. The paper highlights system characteristics that, in unique combinations, create place-based vulnerabilities to climate hazards. It describes these vulnerabilities then discusses the implications of the results for city planners and managers. A concluding section assesses some of the political obstacles to better disa…
Activism and Identities in an East Kalimantan Dayak Organization
In 1999, the East Kalimantan Dayak Association convened a watershed conference in Samarinda, Indonesia, that was attended by indigenous people from across the province. The conference, which was intended to nurture an emerging indigenous solidarity that aimed to transcend narrower loyalties, included sessions on organizational reform. This article examines the ongoing process of organizational rationalization within the association and investigat…
Illustrating the coupled human–environment system for vulnerability analysis: Three case studies
The vulnerability framework of the Research and Assessment Systems for Sustainability Program explicitly recognizes the coupled human–environment system and accounts for interactions in the coupling affecting the system's responses to hazards and its vulnerability. This paper illustrates the usefulness of the vulnerability framework through three case studies: the tropical southern Yucatán, the arid Yaqui Valley of northwest Mexico, and the pan-A…
A framework for vulnerability analysis in sustainability science
Global environmental change and sustainability science increasingly recognize the need to address the consequences of changes taking place in the structure and function of the biosphere. These changes raise questions such as: Who and what are vulnerable to the multiple environmental changes underway, and where? Research demonstrates that vulnerability is registered not by exposure to hazards (perturbations and stresses) alone but also resides in …
Religion and inter-ethnic violence in Indonesia
If the language of cultural uniqueness is not a false trail laid down by those actually pursuing instrumentalist policies...then the task of the analyst becomes...asking how subjectivities...are actually constituted by specific sets of cultural practices; and [investigating]...the social and historical processes that have generated those cultural practices.

An "Old" Religion in "New Order" Indonesia: Notes on Ethnicity and Religious Affiliation
This paper examines the relationship between state-controlled religious modernization and the construction of identity among Ngaju Dayaks, a rainforest people of Central Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo. In 1980, Indonesia's Ministry of Religion recognized Ngaju indigenous religion, known as Kaharingan, as a variety of Hinduism. Thus, whereas in the past beliefs and practices associated with Kaharingan were deemed custom (adat), they are now conside…
Small Sacrifices: Religious Change and Cultural Identity among the Ngaju of Indonesia
This is an ethnographic study of the Ngaju Dyaks, rain forest dwellers of the remote interior region of Central Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo). Like many indigenous peoples, the Ngaju have lately been affected by exposure to world religions, technological advances, and myriad external factors involving their growing incorporation into the rapidly expanding state system. Schiller demonstrates that their responses to these pressures are most clearl…
