Tools for relatedness: “Fetishes” in Burkina Faso and the work of enacted metaphors

open access: yesAmerican Anthropologist, Volume 127, Issue 2, Page 233-243, June 2025.
Abstract In West Africa, certain objects can act in the world and interact with people as subjects. Labeled “fetishes” by Europeans, these material things have generated centuries of debates on the nature of their agency. In this article, I rely on participant fieldwork as a student in a group of initiated donso hunters in Burkina Faso, which involved ...

Still here: age and generational time Encore là : âge et temps générationnel

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 31, Issue S1, Page 145-160, April 2025.
The passage of generational time may be one of the most fundamental ways of experiencing ageing; we age in relation to others with whom our lives are intertwined – by becoming a grandmother or losing a father. Those of the oldest generation weaken and pass away, but in that process, they persist – for a while – with the younger generations.

Enemies: uneasy accompaniments in late life Ennemis : accompagnements de fin de vie difficiles

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 31, Issue S1, Page 128-144, April 2025.
Against a phenomenological orientation to ageing as path or course, a contrastive frame is offered around a figure termed the enemy. Four distinctive ethnographic fragments are utilized: (1) a Polish‐Jewish migrant to Canada in her late eighties who listens continually to the radio and worries over the malign forces in the world that the radio ...

Properties and applications of generalized 1-parameter 3-variable Hermite-based Appell polynomials

open access: yesAIMS Mathematics
We present a novel framework for introducing generalized 3-variable 1-parameter Hermite-based Appell polynomials. These polynomials are characterized by generating function, series definition, and determinant definition, elucidating their fundamental ...

Autonomous partners: asymmetry and masculinity in Amazonian river trade

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 31, Issue 1, Page 118-136, March 2025.
Abstract Trade on the Iriri River, in the eastern Brazilian Amazonia, is structured around a credit‐barter system between clients and bosses known as aviamento in Portuguese. Nowadays, bosses are river traders born in the riversides who offer goods on credit to riverside dwellers, who later pay these debts with fish and products they collect from the ...

Several characterizations of bivariate quantum-Hermite-Appell Polynomials and the structure of their zeros

open access: yesAIMS Mathematics
This paper investigated the fundamental characteristics and uses of a new class of bivariate quantum-Hermite-Appell polynomials. The series representation and generating relation for these polynomials were derived.

Some results on generalized Appell functions

open access: yesRevista Técnica de la Facultad de Ingeniería, 2006
Recientemente A. H. Al-Shammery y S. L. Kalla presentaron generalizaciones para las funciones de Appell Fi(w,z) (i = 1,2,3), introduciendo los parámetros . En este trabajo se representan las funciones de Appell generalizadas (w,z) (i = 1,2,3) en términos

Line defect half-indices of SU(N) Chern-Simons theories

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics
We study the Wilson line defect half-indices of 3d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 supersymmetric SU(N) Chern-Simons theories of level k ≤ – N with Neumann boundary conditions for the gauge fields, together with 2d Fermi multiplets and fundamental 3d chiral ...
