Towards an anthropology of acquisition: ‘How did you get that?’ Vers une anthropologie de l'acquisition : « Où as‐tu trouvé ça ? »

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
The production‐distribution‐consumption triad has structured how anthropologists understand exchange for roughly a century. This article argues for expanding this triad to include an explicit focus on acquisition – the systems, processes, and practices of acquiring.

Autopsy, deathways, and intercultural healthcare in the southern Peruvian Andes Autopsie, pratiques mortuaires et soins de santé interculturels dans le sud des Andes péruviennes

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
While death remains a popular topic for anthropology, relatively few ethnographic accounts consider the modern bureaucratic processes accompanying it.

Where stasis and continuity feature, these are often presented as illusory manifestations of underlying processes of ‘invention’, or as external impositions upon otherwise ...
