Collaborators Collaborating
As bio-capital in the form of medical knowledge, skills and investments moves with greater frequency from its origin in First World industrialized settings to resource-poor communities with weak or little infrastructure, countries with emerging economies are starting to expand new indigenous science bases of their own. The case studies here, from the UK, West Africa, Sri Lanka, Papua New Guinea, Latin America and elsewhere, explore the forms of c…
Risky Futures
Of course, the answer rests with us humans, this strange species that managed to bring our planet to the brink of self-destruction.The good news is that an increasing number of people on earth are beginning to understand that we cannot afford to lose large parts of the cryosphere.While there was a time when people without winter sport ambitions and with homelands outside the cryosphere could shrug off the melting of snow and ice as if it wouldn't…
Risky Futures
The volume examines complex intersections of environmental conditions, geopolitical tensions and local innovative reactions characterising 'the Arctic' in the early twenty-first century. What happens in the region (such as permafrost thaw or methane release) not only sweeps rapidly through local ecosystems but also has profound global implications. Bringing together a unique combination of authors who are local practitioners, indigenous scholars …
What Animates Place for Children? A Comparative Analysis
Drawing on comparative work in primary schools in East Anglia (United Kingdom), Oaxaca (Mexico), and the North Slope of Alaska (United States), we explore what children mean when they say places are "special" to them. Focusing on information gathered during walks designed and guided by these children, we examine the experiential, affective, communicative, and dynamic bases of relationality between children and their surroundings. We set out how e…
Learning to See Climate Change
What are the factors that render environmental concerns salient in people's lives, and under what conditions do people make connections between an abstract concept such as climate change and concrete experiences in their own daily circumstances? Taking as our focus ethnographic work with children in several different ethnographic settings (Barrow, Alaska; Oaxaca, Mexico; Tuv aimag and Uvurkhangai aimag, Mongolia; and East Anglia, United Kingdom),…
Recovering the Human Subject
This volume responds to the often-proclaimed 'death of the subject' in post-structuralist theorizing, and to calls from across the social sciences for 'post-humanist' alternatives to liberal humanism in a distinctively anthropological manner. It asks: can we use the intellectual resources developed in those approaches and debates to reconstruct a new account of how individual human subjects are contingently put together in diverse historical and …
Envisioning Arctic Futures
The production of Never Alone (a recent video game incorporating Inupiaq narrative traditions and aesthetics) is one example of how indigenous peoples use digital technologies to spark young people's interest in their own knowledge. Using comparative material from game players in Siberia and Alaska, this article explores interfaces between the knowledge needed to play such games and that required for hunting in real time. Combining attention to d…
Exclusion and reappropriation
Transformations of the landscapes which children inhabit have significant impacts on their lives; yet, due to the limited economic visibility of children's relationships with place, they have little stake in those transformations. Their experience, therefore, illustrates in an acute way the experience of contemporary enclosure as a mode of subordination. Following fieldwork in three primary schools in South Cambridgeshire, UK, we offer an ethnogr…
Inherit My Heaven
Of Time and Forest Fires, or What Are Scientists for Anyway
This article takes one form of extreme event - namely forest fires - and asks how the ways in which they come to be understood might contribute to core questions about evidence. In particular, I shall suggest that, by considering the moment-ousness of extreme events, we are offered tools for considering the tension between 'rupture' and 'continuity' which emerges throughout the articles of this Special Section, not only at the methodological leve…
Communicating Climate Knowledge
This forum article is the product of interdisciplinary discussion at a conference on climate histories held in Cambridge, United Kingdom, in early 2011, with the specific aim of building a network around the issue of communicating cultural knowledge of environmental change. The lead articles, by Kirsten Hastrup as an anthropologist and Simon Schaffer as a historian of science, highlight the role of agents and proxies. These are followed by five i…
The Whales They Give Themselves
The Substance of Northwest Amazonian Names
INTRODUCTION The high profile of names and naming systems (“onomastics”) is a distinctive hallmark of the ethnographic literature on lowland South America. Names were typically excluded from anthropological research on kinship – witness textbooks on the subject – but when it came to the complex social structures of the Gê and Bororo or the Kariera-like section systems of the Panoans, relations predicated on the transfer of names turned out to be …
Teknonymy and the Evocation of the “Social” Among the Zafimaniry of Madagascar
INTRODUCTION Names are words, and as words they are constituent elements in speech acts. Alone, or in combination with other linguistic phenomena, they are sounds that, as a result of the conventions learnt by speakers of a particular community, evoke in the minds of hearers or speakers' mental responses (see the chapter by Lambek (Chapter 6) for a very similar theoretical position). It is important to begin a discussion of names in this rather p…
Why the Dead Do Not Bear Names
In what follows, I attempt to show that among the Orokaiva of Papua New Guinea, the use of a name system constitutes the morphological framework that maps the relations between people and groups through time. This, of course, does not mean that this system is intangible, but on the contrary, that while it is repeatedly reshaped by other dimensions of Orokaiva social life, like historical events, wars, individual endeavors and so forth, its capaci…
What's in a Name? Name Bestowal and the Identity of Spirits in Mayotte and Northwest Madagascar
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet; Rose Macaulay, if called by her parents Gladys, would have been the same person and written the same books; a deity by any other name might remain as terrifying, loving, unpredictable, or as some Hindus and Malagasy say, as fragrant (Malg. Andriamañitry ). But flowers, persons, and deities are not the same order of phenomena. Roses – despite the multiplication of varieties as the logic of commodities…
Injurious Names
In April 1999, in the course of a conference on “Race in 21st Century America” held at Michigan State University, I attended an acrimonious public debate staged between Dinesh D'Souza, the author of The End of Race? and the African American political scientist Manning Marable. Marable argued for the uniquely oppressive character of African American experience in the United States, past and present; D'Souza, predictably enough, was there to reiter…
Evaluating the impact of an environmental education programme
This study draws on information from 11 in-depth interviews, two focus groups and 72 written questionnaires to evaluate an extra-curricular environmental education programme on forestry designed for preparatory school students from a small rural community in Mexico. Specifically, the study assessed the impact of the programme on the ecological knowledge of 72 students. Qualitative feedback suggests that students learnt about forestry, acquired gr…
Anthropology of Names and Naming
An Anthropology of Names and Naming
This book is about personal names, something of abiding interest to specialists and lay readers alike. Over a million people have checked the American Name Society website since 1996, for instance. Many philosophers and linguists suggest that names are 'just' labels, but parents internationally are determined to get their children's names 'right'. Personal names may be given, lost, traded, stolen and inherited. This collection of essays provides …
