Flat wormholes from straight cosmic strings [PDF]
Helv.Phys.Acta 69:265-268,1996, 1996 Special multi-cosmic string metrics are analytically extended to describe configurations of Wheeler-Misner wormholes and ordinary cosmic strings. I investigate in detail the case of flat, asymptotically Minkowskian, Wheeler-Misner wormhole spacetimes generated by two cosmic strings, each with tension $-1/4G$.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The light climate at high latitudes, in particular the extended twilight of winter and the reduced diel variation in light level in midsummer and midwinter, potentially constrains visual function and the synchronisation of temporal organisation in polar species. In this

Affective assemblages of kinship and single mothers’ labour migration from a ‘climate hotspot’
Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.In coastal Bangladesh, ‘affective assemblages of kinship’ produce differential abilities for landless single mothers to migrate to brick kilns, the garment industry, and the Gulf. This group of women who return to their natal homes as a response to violence or abandonment is neglected by anthropologists of kinship and migration. Thinking of assemblages

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.In the Ik mountains in Uganda, only few old people still have the skills to ‘see time’ with sundials. Common ways of knowing time and age now include phones and ID cards in digital registers. I follow the elder seer Komol to explore how changing the measures of time influences the experience of time and age. How do being a ‘time being’ and ideas about ‘

Simón Rodríguez and the sentimental roots of social republicanism
American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract In this article, I claim that Simón Rodríguez, a 19th‐century Venezuelan thinker, used and reconfigured Jean‐Jacques Rousseau's understanding of amour‐propre to construct a new political foundation for Latin America. He sought to channel it and other sentiments toward productive ends with a social education. In doing so, Rodríguez departs from

Tools for relatedness: “Fetishes” in Burkina Faso and the work of enacted metaphors
American Anthropologist, EarlyView.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 ...
