Easy as riding a bike? Bicycling competence as (re)learning to negotiate space
Safety concerns, notably sharing road space with motor traffic, pose barriers for bicycling. To address safety concerns, bicycle courses are designed to provide skills and know-how for bicyclists to share road space with traffic. This paper used Social Practice Theory combined with a critical gender lens to examine the impact of a bicycle course for women living in Vancouver, Canada. We aimed to: 1) describe bicycling competences and associated m…

Two headmen, brothers, were locked in a struggle for power. The first, and eldest, had temporarily given up on loc…

A political theory of interspecies mobility justice
This article outlines a political theory of interspecies mobility justice that examines why and how mobility justice should be extended to non-sapien persons. Interspecies mobility justice considers how some species’ freedom to move and dwell impinges and relies upon others’ diminished mobilities and displacement, and sets out to illuminate better relations among differentially mobile species. Integrating theories of mobility justice and interspe…
Calibrating the go-along for the Anthropocene
This article contends that the ‘go-along’ contains more technical and ontological agility as a methodology for social research than is often assumed. After distinguishing the central spectrums of technical and ontological agility rooted in different research designs and philosophical orientations, I examine how researchers can nourish it while refining the go-along’s moral purpose in the context of environmental and related mobility crises that d…
The materiality of Sepik societies
From the time of its discovery at the end of the 19th century, the northern Sepik Valley was recognized as one of those places with a seemingly inexhaustible capacity for artistic creation. The cultures found along the river and its tributaries produced objects and architectures that astonished by the impressive diversity of their forms. This creativity has motivated numerous studies with no end in sight so rich is the material, as attested by th…
Conclusion
At the end of our exploratory mission, let us take a moment to look back and ask ourselves a few questions: How did the themes of the three symposiums dealing with anthropological research in the Sepik area evolve? And how did the materiality of artworks as well as the creativity of artists, in short, the subject of art, become intrinsically linked with the more general approach comparing cultural entities or phenomena across the region? And last…
Intersectionality and quantitative methods
This article examines the use of quantitative methods to advance feminist-inspired understandings of intersectionality. We acknowledge a range of conflicting opinions about the suitability of current quantitative techniques. To contribute to this debate, we assess the conceptualizations of intersectionality embedded in the most common approach to quantitative analysis, multiple regression. We identify three features of intersectional analysis hig…
Of Turkey, Russia and Elsewhere
V. Putin was driven in an armored limousine to the president's palace in Ankara, where R.T. Erdoan gave him the grand tour of the huge neo-Ottoman building. Comprising over 1000 rooms, the White Palace has been dubbed "Ak Saray" by both the press and the opposition. Differences of opinion between the two heads of state were vigorous and many (from the occupation of Crimea to the Syrian issue). But potential conflicts were tempered by shared inter…
Chiefdoms and chieftancies in Fiji. Yesterday and today
One cannot properly speak of Fijian chiefdoms in the singular, so closely is the definition bound up with spatial and temporal configurations as well as with the status of the speakers in Fijian society. There exists nevertheless an idealized version of the chiefdom, transmitted not only by colonial administrators, historians and anthropologists (Roth, Scarr, Geddes) but also by certain contemporary Fijians, often from chiefly families. They see …

Signs and Wonders upon Pharaoh
History of American Egyptology though more prosaic, gives a somewhat better idea of its scope than its title, which author explains in his dedication: 'To Memory of James H. Breasted, George A. Reisner, and Herbert E. Winlock, who showed Signs and Wonders in Land of Egypt. The volume, however, covers much more ground than even subtitle suggests. Its great value is that it gives historical and political background of study of ancient Egypt and to …

A Study in the Phonetics of Fijian
The speech here investigated is that of Mr. Josua Bogidrau of Suva, Fiji. Mr. Bogidrau was born in Lakemba, Lau, where the language has marked local characteristics, but at the age of thirteen he was sent to the Queen Victoria School at Suva, capital of Fiji, and has modified his speech in accordance with Bauan, the dialect with the greatest prestige. I have been able to check a number of points with a native Bauan speaker, who tells me that B.′s…

John Rupert Firth
After a long illness in 1959, when he spent many weeks in hospital, Firth was compelled to husband his strength, but his mental agility and his enthusiasm for the things that interested him were undiminished, and on the day of his sudden death, 14 December 1960, he was to have come to London for a threeday conference called by the British Council to consider the teaching of English as a second language. It was surely the kind of end one would hav…

The Monosyllable In Szechuanese
In Le Maître Phonétique for April-June, 1940, I gave some notes on the pronunciation of Mr. Su Cheng, a native of Fengtuhsien, Szechuan. I have recently been able to make further observations in his case, and also to study the pronunciation of Mr. Chao Che Shen, a native of Ipin, Szechuan, which lies some 200 miles to the west of Fengtuhsien

A Phonological Analysis of the Szechuanese Monosyllable
A RECONSIDERATION of the material used for my article 'The monosyllable in Szechuanese'1 in the light of the technique of prosodic analysis being developed in the Department of Phonetics of the School of Oriental and African Studies 2 has led me to believe that it is susceptible of a more rigorous and satisfying treatment, in which some of the apparently eccentric features take a normal place
Notes on the Pronunciation of Sea Dayak
In my Dictionary of Sea Dayak , I gave a scheme for the systematic spelling of the language in a table that is reproduced below. The following notes on the phonetic interpretation of this spelling are based on the pronunciation of speakers from the Second Division of Sarawak. The descriptions refer to words spoken in isolation, which have slightly increased stress on the final syllable
