Ordinary Lives and Grand Schemes
Everyday practice of religion is complex in its nature, ambivalent and at times contradictory. The task of an anthropology of religious practice is therefore precisely to see how people navigate and make sense of that complexity, and what the significance of religious beliefs and practices in a given setting can be. Rather than putting everyday practice and normative doctrine on different analytical planes, the authors argue that the articulation…

Migration, environmental change and agrarian transition in upland regions
This paper analyses the relationship between cyclical labour migration and agrarian transition in the uplands of Nepal, Ethiopia and Kenya. It shows that while migration decision-making is linked to expanding capitalist markets, it is mediated by local cultural, political and ecological changes. In turn, cyclical migration goes on to shape the trajectory of change within agriculture. The dual dependence on both migrant income and agriculture with…
Spiraling up and down
The paper draws on the Community Capitals Framework to frame and analyze the process of rural women’s empowerment through agricultural interventions in two districts of Ethiopia. A blend of qualitative data collection methods comprising group discussions, life histories, and key informant interviews was used. Our study shows that investing in social, human, financial, cultural, natural, physical, and political capitals resulted in increased asset…
Alone in a Time of Pandemic
For people in single households, living alone has become literal and absolute during the social-distancing measures related to COVID-19 and can lead to decreased health and wellbeing. In this article, we examine how solo-living women think, feel, make sense of, and practice COVID-19-related social-distancing measures and, consequently, physical isolation. During lockdown, we interviewed 23 solo-living women between the ages of 25 and 69 years liv…
La difficile territorialisation de la gestion de l’eau au Burkina Faso
S’inscrivant dans une logique de compréhension des dynamiques de territorialisation, notre article porte sur l’analyse des modes de coordination entre acteurs locaux en vue d’une gestion intégrée des ressources en eau au Burkina Faso. En mobilisant le cadre d’analyse de la proximité, nous montrons que les dynamiques de relations socio-spatiales autour de la ressource en eau sont asymétriques et que la prise en compte (ou non) de cette inégalité s…
Monitoring and evaluation of climate resilience for agricultural development – A review of currently available tools
Building climate resilience, defined as the ability to anticipate, absorb, accommodate, or recover from climate change in a timely and efficient manner, is becoming a major priority of development across multiple sectors. However, there is still no consensus on how resilience should be assessed despite the release of numerous theoretical papers on the topic. Various measurement frameworks and recommendations have emerged, but their applicability …

The meaning of African and 'White man's' food at Muslim and civil wedding celebrations in urban Burkina Faso
Chez les Musulmans du Burkina Faso, les mariages sont célébrés selon deux modes différents: d'une part, on trouve le mariage ' traditionnel ' qui s'accompagne d'une cérémonie religieuse et d'autre part, il y a le mariage 'civil', qui est marqué par une cérémonie officielle ayant lieu à la mairie. Les contrastes existants entre ces deux fêtes se révèlent notamment à travers les repas servis à cette occasion. La fête traditionnelle offre des plats …

Women and Islam in Urban Burkina Faso. Definitions and Interpretations of Piety
Članek predstavi in analizira koncepte in interpretacije pobožnosti pri muslimankah v urbanem Burkina Fasu ter jih primerja z razumevanjem enakih konceptov v drugih delih zahodne Afrike. Skoz osebne zgodbe informatork ugotavlja neskladje med diskurzom in prakso in skuša ugotoviti, zakaj posameznice, ki največkrat delujejo v enakih razumevanjskih okvirih, v praksi stvari ne vidijo, in ne počnejo, na enak način. *** This article introduces and anal…
