The emergence and complexification of symbolic practices in the Homo lineage: an archaeological and cognitive perspective Émergence et complexification des pratiques symboliques dans la lignée Homo : une approche archéologique et cognitive

When sharing becomes shameful: atmospheres of class formation in Namibia Quand le partage devient honteux : ambiances de formation de classes en Namibie

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.

Yet among the Damara pastoralists with whom I work, people now increasingly describe feeling shame (taob) when they ask for food. In this article, I trace this shift to the affective dynamics of social class formation.

Cutting freedom down to size Liberté calibrée

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Freedom, as a concept and a value, presents limited prospects for anthropological comparison. The study of enslavement, much neglected in attempts to develop an anthropology of freedom, shows that freedom has been imagined by the enslaved as the opposite of their condition only under particular circumstances.
