Dwelling in a post‐fallout landscape: Re‐shaping and sustaining life in a former evacuation zone in Fukushima
This article explores the activities of daily life in a village neighbouring the TEPCO nuclear power plant in Fukushima. It argues that one of the potentials of taking a dwelling perspective – a phenomenological approach to living within the ecological and social environments – emerges most compellingly within a polluted landscape. The 2011 nuclear accident abruptly recast residents’ daily routines in the village, historically tied to the surroun…
Humour and the Plurality of Everyday Life: Comical Accounts from an Interface Area in Belfast
This article examines self-referential humour in narrative accounts about experiences of conflict and community division, based on fieldwork undertaken in an interface area in Belfast in the late 2000s and in the 2010s. It has been a classic approach within anthropological studies of humour and jokes to focus on their socially or politically subversive nature. Some anthropologists, however, have viewed this approach sceptically, pointing out the …
The Japan Monkey Centre Primates Brain Imaging Repository for comparative neuroscience: An archive of digital records including records for endangered species
Advances in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computational analysis technology have enabled comparisons among various primate brains in a three-dimensional electronic format. Results from comparative studies provide information about common features across primates and species-specific features of neuroanatomy. Investigation of various species of non-human primates is important for understanding such features, but the majority of comparative …

Trans-Generational Memory: Narratives of World Wars in Post-Conflict Northern Ireland
People situate their personal lives in a macro history through crafting trans-generational narratives. Trans-generational historical narrative is simultaneously about personal micro interactions and emotions, and about the large process of macro history. It lies between 'small' and 'big' narrative spheres and plays an important role in the formation of the ethnic, national and cultural identities of individuals. By examining carefully this type o…
