Equal before time: on the sensory suspension of accumulated time in Sichuan, China Égaux devant le temps : suspension sensorielle du temps accumulé au Sichuan (Chine)

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Food and alcohol indulgence, along with tea‐drinking, gambling, and gossip, are integral to a characteristically Sichuanese ethos of ‘life enjoyment’ (xiangshou shenghuo). Beyond mere pleasure, sensory, ludic, and comic experiences temporarily strip participants of both their formal and subjective qualities.

The reckoning: ethnographic explorations of the ending of a friendship Règlement de comptes : explorations ethnographiques de la fin d'une amitié

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article examines the ending of a friendship in ethnographic fieldwork. I argue that friendship is a necessarily ambiguous concept and relation, made most distinctive as a ‘friendship’ at its end.

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article studies Indian‐Bangladeshi friendship ethnographically, as a contested political imaginary, claim, and relation, from the vantage of its shared borderlands. Staging friendship, I show, is a geopolitical project that engages equally the highest echelons of the Indian and Bangladeshi states and ordinary residents of its marginalized ...

Hominin dispersals: causes, conditions, and outcomes Dispersions des hominines : causes, conditions et issues

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
The ‘Out of Africa’ model that has dominated palaeoanthropology for nearly three decades was originally based on five elements: a recent ancestry to human populations; an African origin for the ancestral population; limited or no gene flow among archaic hominins and no admixture between modern humans and Neanderthals; a marked difference between the ...
