Multi-scale scenario building for community development
The severe environment and remoteness of the Circumpolar North elevate transport infrastructure to a crucial factor in community development bridging global trends to local realities. Understanding plausible infrastructure futures is therefore key to robust development planning. To ensure realism and local relevance, scenario building requires a transdisciplinary approach. However, standard participatory methods are often hampered by practical co…
Scenarios and Ethnography
Large-scale infrastructures are typically part of development projects that are global in ambition and local in their impacts. While anthropology has a decent track record of using ethnographic methods in the study of infrastructure, it typically lacks the capacity to provoke statements or attitudes regarding larger development plans. Scenario workshops, initially developed by researchers in the field of foresight studies, turn out to be producti…
Redefining Arctic boundaries in a changing climate
The Arctic rapidly transforms due to global warming and increased human activities, triggering complex changes at unprecedented speeds that challenge conventional institutional responses. We analyse these changes through the lenses of social, political, and environmental boundaries and investigate their impacts on both inhabitants' livelihoods and the region's political framework. Employing an interdisciplinary approach, we highlight the complexi…
Melting Worlds' and 'Climate Myths
Climate change is a powerful story in Longyearbyen, the largest settlement on Svalbard in the high Arctic. While most natural science agrees on accelerating climate change with profound environmental impacts, this article unpacks the multidimensionality of the topic locally. By approaching climate change as a discourse, we explore the reception and reproduction of the dominant climate change discourse locally and compare it to other stories about…
Interdisciplinary, but how? Anthropological Perspectives from Collaborative Research on Climate and Environmental Change
No longer solid’
Permafrost characterizes ground conditions in most of the Arctic and is increasingly thawing. While environmental consequences of permafrost thaw are under intense scrutiny by natural and life sciences, social sciences' studies on local communities' perceptions of change is thus far limited. This hinders the development of targeted adaptation and mitigation measures. We present the results of a survey on communities' perceptions of permafrost tha…
Caught in between and in transit
When Europe shut down due to the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020, Longyearbyen, the main settlement of Svalbard, was moving from a coal-based economy to one based on science and tourism. The remote location of the Svalbard archipelago in the High Arctic makes it an isolated, secure haven from the chaos worldwide. But this renders its population vulnerable should the virus come since there are neither facilities to care for the sick nor other near…
Physical and feasible
Longyearbyen, Svalbard, has become showcase of Arctic climate change. However, we know little about how these changes are dealt with locally. This article aims to fill this gap by examining climate change impacts and adaptation in a non-Indigenous “community of experts” and sets out to 1) describe observed changes and perceived societal impacts of climate change and 2) discuss adaptation measures and related understandings of adaptation. The rese…
Changing Svalbard
The archipelago of Svalbard is a good example of an Arctic locale undergoing rapid changes on multiple levels. This contribution is a joint effort of three anthropologists with up-to-date ethnographic data from Svalbard (mostly Longyearbyen and Barentsburg) to frame and interpret interconnected changes. The processes impacting Svalbard are related to issues such as geopolitical interests, and increasing pressure by the Norwegian government to exe…
SP6-66 The relationship between dental decay and caregiver neglect in children
Despite all the public health policies, dental decay continues to be one of the most prevalent diseases in children (Siqueira et al , 2009). Among the factors related to dental decay in children is the lack of care from caregivers towards their children (Talekar et al , 2005), which can be seen as neglect (Chaves et al , 2003). However, not much is known regarding the relationship between dental decay and neglect, which is the aim of this researc…

Engels as Sociologist
The system of ideas developed by Engels and Marx belongs to the category of grand sociological theory in the manner of Hegel and Comte, Gumplowicz and Weber, but differs from them in essential elements, which are briefly summarized. Like other grand theories, it is rich in provocative ideas, and relative methodological flexibility can be orbserved in the attempts that Engels made to study discrete social institutions, such as the family and the m…
Enige socio-psychologische opmerkingen over Curacao
Curasao is een eiland, en evenals op andere eilanden vindt men er een insulaire mentaliteit; dat wil zeggen een sterk ontwikkeld chauvinisme, een xenophobie en het zoeken naar een vormgeving van eigen identiteit.Deze trekken vindt men bij alle groepen die zich zelf als Curacaos beleven.Welke zijn deze groepen?Men kan globaal onderscheiden: i. de quantitatief kleine maar invloedrijke groep van de Blanke Protestante Curac.aoënaars; 2. de -inzichzel…
