Dwelling in a post‐fallout landscape: re‐shaping and sustaining life in a former evacuation zone in Fukushima Habiter après la catastrophe : redonner forme au monde et entretenir la vie dans une ancienne zone évacuée à Fukushima

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article explores the activities of daily life in a village neighbouring the TEPCO nuclear power plant in Fukushima.

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

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. One such process is public health autopsy, which scholars have largely taken for granted.

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article argues that the current way of thinking about ethics in sport in primarily biomedical terms, and in particular in terms of the presence of particular pharmaceutical substances, fails to account for broader notions of sporting ethics and fairness in the Global South.

On the problem of continuity: a theory of culture beyond invention Le problème de la continuité : une théorie de la culture au‐delà de l'invention

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Anthropologists, in common with social theorists more generally, have often understood social life as an emergent phenomenon grounded in practices of creativity and improvisation.
