‘Vitamins’, shortcuts, and athletic citizenship in Ethiopia and Cameroon: considering sporting ethics beyond biomedicine « Vitamines », courts‐circuits et citoyenneté sportive en Éthiopie et au Cameroun : l’éthique du sport, au‐delà de la biomédecine

open access: yesJournal 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.

Covariant entropy conjecture and concordance cosmological models

open access: yes, 2008
Recently a covariant entropy conjecture has been proposed for dynamical horizons. We apply this conjecture to concordance cosmological models, namely, those cosmological models filled with perfect fluids, in the presence of a positive cosmological ...

Amidst (waste) abundance: world‐making and struggles in hosting a municipal landfill in the Bolivian lowlands Au milieu de l'abondance (de déchets) : fabrication du monde et luttes liées à la gestion d'une décharge municipale dans les basses terres de Bolivie

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
In recent decades, solid waste has proliferated worldwide, becoming a pressing global issue. This article explores the role of Indigenous people dwelling within and upon emerging waste scenarios, with a specific focus on involved forms of sociality and ontological contestation. Drawing on the case of a municipal landfill sited on a Guarani community in

Self-tuning of cosmological constant and exit from inflation

open access: yes, 2004
I review the recent 5D self-tuning solutions of the cosmological constant problem, and try to unify two cosmological constant problems within the framework of the self-tuning solutions.

AI as guru or conjurer?

open access: yesAmerican Ethnologist, EarlyView.
Abstract This commentary examines how artificial intelligence (AI) reshapes scholarly authorship through Fredrik Barth's figures of the guru and the conjurer. The guru instructs within moral and scholarly frameworks, while the conjurer mystifies through spectacle.

Cosmological constant from a deformation of the Wheeler–DeWitt equation

open access: yesNuclear Physics B, 2016
In this paper, we consider the Wheeler–DeWitt equation modified by a deformation of the second quantized canonical commutation relations. Such modified commutation relations are induced by a Generalized Uncertainty Principle.

Cosmological Constant and Noncommutative Spacetime

open access: yes, 2005
We show that the cosmological constant appears as a Lagrange multiplier if nature is described by a canonical noncommutative spacetime. It is thus an arbitrary parameter unrelated to the action and thus to vacuum fluctuations.

The Unbecoming Ghost: Spectropolitics in the Making and Unmaking of BHU's Bhoot Vidya Ayurveda Certificate Program

open access: yesAnthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This essay examines the controversy surrounding the Bhoot Vidya certificate program proposed by the Faculty of Ayurveda at Banaras Hindu University in 2019. Drawing on media coverage, curricular materials, and government policy, I analyze how the debate reveals broader tensions in the politics of contemporary Ayurveda, nationalism, and ...
