Air Quality in Association With Rural Coal Mining and Combustion in New South Wales Australia
Purpose Rural areas may face under‐recognized threats to air quality. We tested 2 hypotheses that 1) rural areas in New South Wales, Australia, would have better air quality than metropolitan Sydney, and that 2) the rural Upper Hunter region characterized by coal mining and coal combustion would have worse air quality than other rural areas of the state. Methods We analyzed 2017 daily mean values for New South Wales, Australia, for particulate ma…
Staying Local in the Global Village
One of the world's most intensively studied societies, Bali has hosted scholars and writers as renowned as Margaret Mead, Gregory Bateson, Miguel Covarrubias, Fred Barth, and Hildred and Clifford Geertz. Staying Local in the Global Village is part of a continuing tradition in which Balinese and foreign scholars reflect on the processes of transformation that link Bali to Indonesia and the world beyond. The chapters in this volume are based on res…
Environmental Change and the World's Futures
Uncertainty, Imagining and OntologyHumans cannot 'know' the future until it has passed (if then).Consequently, moving towards the future is always accompanied by uncertainty, whether accepted or not.Whenever people envision or plan for the future, they deal with an 'imagining'.Imagining evokes ontology, or is based on an ontology, because humans imagine with what they imagine or mythologise the being of the world to be.This includes its fixities,…
Environmental Change and the World's Futures
What’s Mine Is Mine(D)
Rural life in the Upper Hunter Region of NSW is threatened by the mining and burning of coal and coal seam gas extraction. Extensive open-cut mining is a serious threat to productive rural enterprises between Singleton and Muswellbrook, while mining and gas extraction is expanding into communities on the Liverpool Plains and around Gloucester. The marginalisation of rural life has economic, environmental and sociocultural dimensions. Economically…
Natural cycles” in lay understandings of climate change
Environmentalism, Culture, Ethnography
Such is the ubiquity of environmentalism as a significant community experience throughout the world that most anthropologists will nowadays find themselves attending to the concerns their respondents have for the environments which surround and sustain them. In this article, we take stock of some of the issues addressed, and the achievements realized, by environmental anthropology to date. First, we emphasize that there is already a literature wh…
Experimental Publics
The ethnographic study of Western environmental activism opens up the prospect of studying subjectivities formed in opposition to dominant Western ideas and values, and yet encapsulated within Western societies and democratic polities. One of the directions in which it points the anthropologist, which is pursued in this article, is towards the study of the political lifeworlds of activists, their self‐identity as citizens and their embeddedness i…
Jero Tapakan and Other Teachers
Compelling speech and spirited conversation in Bali almost always includes good stories. Healers draw on a fund of stories to heal, divert and entertain their patients. Stories take on new life over many tellings and patients and healers mutually construct narratives that open up new healing possibilities. These processes also characterise the ways in which relationships between ethnographers and their circle of teachers, relatives, friends, coll…
Relief, risk and renewal
Healing Powers and Modernity
What is the current state of traditional healing practices in contemporary Asian societies? How are their practitioners faring in the encounter with Western science and its biomedical approach? How are traditional healing practices being transformed by the politics of health within the modern nation-state and by the processes of commodification typical of modern economies? How do patients in Asian societies see the various healing options now ope…

The Action of the Body on Society
Seances and Spirits of the Dead
Ian Hogbin's article, ‘Spirits and the Healing of the Sick in Ontong Java’ (1930), sketches out the relationships that were perceived to exist between the living and the spirits of the dead amongst the inhabitants of a small coral atoll in the Western Pacific. Episodes of illness constituted crises when this relationship was articulated through the institution of spirit mediumship, in order to effect a cure for the patient. The structure of Onton…
