Changing the Landscape of Archaeological Publishing
Disseminating research is a key component of scholarly labor, but the costs and benefits of the current structure of academic publishing are underexamined within anthropology. This paper brings together a range of authors from across archaeology and cultural anthropology to summarize current issues in archaeological publishing and offer potential interventions at multiple scales. The paper is divided into five core topics. “Ideology” discusses th…
Analysing perspectives on capital, mutual, and general interest
Renewable energy cooperatives (RECs) play a pivotal role in advancing a new energy paradigm that prioritizes equity and inclusivity. However, there is often ambiguity regarding their potential since their core principle of functioning revolves around serving the mutual interests of their members by providing energy services rather than addressing general- interest missions. Moreover, RECs still operate as businesses that are economically viable a…
Livelihood challenges faced by women in rural India
Women in rural India continue to face deprivation and inequality, despite various initiatives and reforms to empower them. In this note, the authors share their experiences of identifying the challenges faced by women in earning a livelihood and the sustainable solutions they identified using the participatory action research approach. The study involved two self-help groups of women in Nagla Chandi, a rural village in Uttar Pradesh, India. It re…
Practicing sustainable eating
Small collections remembered
Of the 158 million things housed by the Smithsonian Institution, about 56 objects originate from Sámi communities. By all accounts a small group of objects-even by the standards of the Arctic collections at the Institution-it may be easily overlooked or dismissed as insignificant, based on entrenched ideologies about idealized collections. Presenting a community-based methodology for the engagement of distant museum collections using three-dimens…
Il populismo nelle regioni alpine tra nativismo e bisogno di riconoscimento. Il caso della Lega Nord in Trentino e Valle d'Aosta
Le recenti affermazioni elettorali della Lega Nord in Trentino e Valle d'Aosta consentono di osservare il radicamento del discorso populista di destra in un territorio caratterizzato da un'alta densità di aree interne e da una forte tradizione politica autonomista. L'articolo, attraverso un metodo interdisciplinare, mette a fuoco il fenomeno leghista nelle regioni alpine a partire dall'analisi delle pratiche discorsive in cui appaiono centrali le…
Reflections of Movement
Human mobility is perpetuated at the intersection of opportunity and pressure. In this photographic essay, I explore reverberations of movement from the Arctic to East Africa, where I have done ethnographic fieldwork or passed through on my own anthropological and personal journey. The photos compare continuities of movement for transborder Skolt Sámi communities in Fennoscandia, sedentarized East African hunters, West African migrants in Madrid,…
Decolonizing Production
The theory and practice of decolonization present an awkward paradox: How can social change occur in everyday life to disrupt state structures while entangled with the mundane, social, and institutional practices and representations that perpetuate state power? In Sápmi, the transborder Indigenous Sámi homeland, decolonization has been intertwined with the institutionalization of Sámi governance and cultural reclamation through national governing…
Contesto socio-culturale ed efficienza energetica nell'abitazione
Alcuni contesti socio-culturali promuovono pratiche sociali di risparmio energetico e assicurano la riduzione dei consumi in edifici efficienti dal punto di vista energetico. Questo articolo sintetizza i risultati derivanti da una ricerca applicata ad un edificio di nuova costruzione di 23 appartamenti (Bolzano - IT). I risultati delle interviste fatte a 10 famiglie definiscono il contesto socio-culturale e gli elementi rilevanti tramite cui avvi…
Beyond Nimby
This study focused on new pressures on water resources in relation to the production of renewable energy in Italy. In particular, I considered the conflicts that have emerged in the Trentino region around mini-hydroelectric power production. Literature critiquing the Not In My Backyard (NIMBY) approach provided the basis for analyzing the characteristics of this opposition movement. I argue that the anti-mini-hydro movements only partially challe…

A mild rural gentrification driven by tourism and second homes. Cases from Italy
The article intends to describe the social evolution of Italian countryside through the lenses of eco-gentrification. The term was born in urban contexts, but can also be fruitful for the study of processes in rural areas. Although there is a large international literature on rural gentrification, the combination with the eco suffix is less frequent. For this reason it seems necessary to identify the specific features and the semantic boundaries …
Three-dimensional, community-based heritage management of indigenous museum collections
Archaeological ethnography of an indigenous movement
Indigenous social movements contest histories of relocation, assimilation, and inequality. Archaeologists too have identified such processes in recent and deeper time. But what can ongoing sites of indigenous resistance tell us about those of the archaeological record, and what is the value in the present of linking such phenomena through time? The production of material culture embodies the motivations and constraints of these movements. Objects…
Ecopreneurs, rural development and alternative socio-technical arrangements for community renewable energy
Reconstructing Food Ways
Cultural programs, such as revitalization forums, support community goals of resilience, whether by conserving and recreating particular plant uses, or by fostering dynamic traditions marked by innovation and adoption of new wild food uses and ideologies. This paper explores the significance of traditional plant revitalization forums for the Sevettijärvi-Näätämö community, located in northern Finland in close proximity to Norwegian and Russian bo…

Politiche, agenzie e pratiche di retrofit energetico nelle città. il caso di Bolzano
L’articolo analizza il caso del Comune di Bolzano in relazione ai processi di retrofit energetico degli edifici. Nella prima parte si mette in luce la varieta di strumenti di policy adottati e si sottolinea il ruolo centrale dell’agenzia di certificazione provinciale CasaClima. Nella seconda parte vengono presi in considerazione due casi studio di condomini interamente riqualificati. Sulla base di un approccio analitico focalizzato sulle pratiche…
Nonhuman Actors, Hybrid Networks, and Conflicts Over Municipal Waste Incinerators
This article seeks to make an original contribution to the study of environmental conflicts on waste management infrastructures by applying concepts derived from actor-network theory in an empirical case study. The article is organized into three main parts. The first highlights how the bulk of the literature on the subject has systematically ignored the role of natural/material factors. The second part analyzes the theoretical and methodological…
Exploring the Local Sustainability of a Green Economy in Alpine Communities
This article aims to contribute to the analysis of the complex relationship between sustainable development and green economy in mountain areas by focusing on a conflict over the building of a centralized biogas plant to produce renewable energy from livestock manure in an Italian Alpine valley. The case study shows that the project for a large-sized biogas plant promoted by the local political institutions as environmental modernization of local…
Immigration control in Italian political elite debates
This work provides an analysis of the structure and transformations of the official political debate over immigration control within the Italian political elite over the last three decades. Through a close historical reading of the Italian political scene based primarily on parliamentary debates, this article charts the key policy frames articulated in different periods of Italian immigration history in relation to the nature of the immigration c…
Adult vocational training for migrants in North‐East Italy
This article contributes to the study of policies for the integration of immigrants into the labour markets of European immigration countries by focusing on the specific issue of vocational training for immigrant workers in Italy. Vocational training has a central role in the European employment strategy. Moreover, with regard to migrants, it is also relevant to the topical issue of the governance of international labour migration. The article an…
Implementing Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development in the European Alps
In current scientific and political discourses there is common agreement that the future of Alpine agriculture is a challenge not only for farmers, but also for society at large. What remains unclear is the question of how to adapt agriculture towards sustainable development of the Alpine territory in a manner that takes sufficient account of local diversity. We propose to treat agriculture and rural development as a matter of local concern, star…
