Making deep-structure adaptations
Objectives : This study responds to the suicide crisis among Black youth populations by tailoring suicide interventions to meet their specific cultural needs. We obtained insight from community stakeholders about culturally adapting suicide prevention interventions for Black youth, using the Linking Individuals Needing Care intervention as an example. Method : Using a culturally adaptive qualitative design Process, we conducted a series of commun…
Making Uncommon Sense of Laudable Research
In Australia, research resourcing might come from parties dedicated to addressing issues in the public interest, such as smoking cessation and alcohol regulation. The associations researchers have with those parties are regarded in quite different terms than, say, a research relationship that is forged with the tobacco or alcohol industries themselves. Agreeing to work with the latter ‘bad’ players would indubitably raise the liveliest of suspici…
Workplace Intimacy
Amidst massive economic damage tension between the needs to save lives and save jobs has become the basis of a key political fault-line and a matter of daily on-the-ground management during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this article we consider four especially salient changes to work-life wrought by the pandemic: (1) new workplace praxes pertaining to matters of touch; (2) erosion and degrading of the quality of erstwhile intimate relations in certai…
Safe and sound
The idea that road safety could be secured using sound – particularly talkback radio and music – is fascinating. This paper explores Ford’s recent and unprecedented level of investment in car stereos in its 2018 models alongside the terrifying 2014 anti-speeding commercial produced by the Northern Ireland Department of Environment (Road Safety). The commercial makes use of one musical track styled in two different ways to sonically represent safe…
Microbial Intimacy
In this article, we highlight how COVID-19 has transformed, is transforming and may transform into the future human intimacies. This, we argue, is an appropriate focus for anthropological investigation particularly. We posit a scaler approach to the anthropological study of the transformation of intimacy in COVID-19, embracing multiple levels from human relations with microbes through to human relations with deities. Furthermore, we offer example…
Zooming in on Covid
This article is a result of the way in which the design of a first-year anthropology course attempted to undo stern structural hierarchies between students and teachers. Instead, the participants regarded one another as fellow anthropologists undertaking ethnographic research on the university context. This article examines the intimate relations that came available to participants when the course moved from in-person to Zoom format. Participants…
Disaster nativism
For the farming and tourism town of Anonyton that we research,1 2020 has been the year of disasters. The bushfires that led to loss of life and the COVID‐19 pandemic that threatens to do so again engender contrasting responses. Community was celebrated as the means by which local people survived and would be able to reconstruct their town in the fire’s aftermath. Overt coming together was, however, simultaneously undermined as locals blamed one a…
Social Intimacy
In this article, we highlight how COVID-19 has transformed, is transforming and may transform into the future human intimacies at several different social levels: between couples, within and between families, between citizens and states, among nations, and between people and their deities. We conclude by highlighting an uncertain future for intimacies that may entail the radical transformation of societies characterised by conversely new and libe…

Analysing Smokefree
Throughout my 15-years-long exploration of tobacco smoking in Australia, I have analysed the practice and the legislation pertaining to it using sensory tools. Ten years distant from the beginning of my engagement with smoking, I can appreciate that a striking feature of the sensory analyses I have made is what they reveal of violence. Included here is (not only) the violence done to the smoker’s own body – by the biotechnology of cigarettes them…
(Re)making smoking
Taking as foundational the well-established anthropological idea that material things can be determinative of expectations and practice, the authors advance the notion that packets are constitutive of smoking in the era of smokefree legislation. Adorned with warnings, graphic messaging and particular colouration, they say that packets do not simply respond to the 'problem' of smoking; they are actively involved in remaking it anew, in, with and f…
Actively Negotiating the Mind–Body Divide
A Touching Analysis
In this article, I examine what an analytic of touch offers for theorizing the impact of thirdhand smoke. Drawing on “scientific” claims about the danger of touching/being touched by objects permeated with thirdhand smoke and on online discussions about the exposure of infants to thirdhand smoke, I argue that touch permits insights unavailable to us in other analytically pursued sensory registers. It is smell that initially alerts people to the p…
Forcing Things Together That Are Normally Kept Apart
Current anthropological investigations of smoking offer limited insights into the practice, as they fail to account for how smokers and smoke itself draw things together that are assumed or desired to be kept apart. One of the qualities of smoke is its capacity to link disparate temporalities, spaces, and persons, whether or not connections between them are desirable. Smokers, themselves, too, draw together things as ostensibly different as cauti…
Time to manage
This paper examines how people with chronic illnesses respond to absences of continuity and coordination of care. Little work has been done on how the ill person might mitigate flaws in a less than optimal system. Our qualitative research, carried out among 91 participants in Australia, reveals that people with chronic illnesses create strategies to facilitate the management of their care. These strategies included efforts to improve communicatio…
Explicating the Air
In this paper, I examine how the explication of the air has figured environments, places, politics and the constitution of ‘the public’ in the era of smokefree. I argue in this paper that an especial imaginary of the air, one that recalls and revitalises much earlier notions of the air as bearer of miasmatic pollution, and even earlier ideas about the physical quality of the air and its relationship to the political state, has shaped how persons …
A Qualitative Content Analysis of Cigarette Health Warning Labels in Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States
The legislation of health warning labels on cigarette packaging is a major focus for tobacco control internationally and is a key component of the World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. This population-level intervention is broadly supported as a vital measure for warning people about the health consequences of smoking. However, some components of this approach warrant close critical inspection. Through a qualitative…
Does the hand that controls the cigarette packet rule the smoker? Findings from ethnographic interviews with smokers in Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and the USA
No smoking within nine metres of discipline limits
I seek to open the social practice of smoking to anthropological enquiry that has been largely caught up in the agenda of cessation - to the point that it is difficult to examine it outside this frame without being accused of advancing the interests of Big Tobacco. Analysis has also been foreclosed by adherence to frames that privilege rationality. Smoking behaviour becomes understandable and translatable via explanations of addiction or ignoranc…
Researching smoking in the new smokefree
This paper concerns itself with some of the consequences of legislatively supported public health interventions into smoking. These have emerged from the legislative environment of ‘smokefree’ in Australia, and centrally concern the constitution of public space under its operation; the conceptualisation of risk which circulates within it; and the way in which agency may be imagined in public health framings of smoking. I make a critical anthropol…

Golden Chocolate Olive Tobacco Packaging Meets the Smoker You Thought You Knew
Claims made about the effectiveness of new Australian plain cigarette packaging legislation reveal key assumptions about the smoker: her/his rationality can be reached by increasingly hardhitting and/or targeted intervention. Abandoning the restrictive frame of the rational smoker returns to an anthropology concerned with understanding how, rather than why, smoking figures in the lives of those who smoke
Towards a Critical Anthropology of Smoking
The World Health Organization warned today that countries will need to be much more aggressive in their attempts to stamp out smoking if they are to counter the tobacco industry's marketing techniques (WHO, 2008
Ambiguous Mice, Speaking Rats
During 2009-10, I conducted ethnographic fieldwork with 31 immunologists, virologists, and neuroscientists working with either rats or mice. I encountered how the conceptual and physical bounds that have traditionally separated nature from culture, specie
Smoking causes creative responses
This article is framed by the complexities associated with exploring a morally positioned and emotive practice – the practice of smoking cigarettes. Smoking is bound up with a multiply of issues and positions, including (but not limited to) the role of the state in the regulation of bodies and their practices and in the moral positioning of those practices, and the rights of the individual. It is also bound up with particular understandings of bo…

Seeing Red, Tasting Blood
Christmas Islanders participate together in blood metaphors, drawn from the island's biotic life. These metaphors proceed along specific sensual lines such that, in and through participation in this shared sensual citizenship, the identity category ‘Christmas Islanders’ is yielded. Pan-islandic sensory citizenship is based on participation in a highly visual and rhythmic auditory Christmas Island sensorium and other specifically ethnic relationsh…

Of crustacean blood and ant infection
This paper is framed by the cultural politics of nationhood in contemporary Australia and particularly by the ways in which the nation has sought to produce borders that have manifested themselves as altered cartographic boundaries and exclusion zones. The paper itself is concerned with life on Christmas Island, and is focused on the ways in which multiethnic Christmas Island locals use blood metaphors drawn from the Island’s native Christmas Isl…
