Refusal and Aporia: At the Limits of Anthropological Knowledge

open access: yesAmerican Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 2, Page 339-348, June 2026.
ABSTRACT As anthropologists increasingly take up refusal, opacity, and other forms of resistance to surveillance and subjugation, this paper questions what implications this has for the discipline in practice. Considering anthropology's enduring centrality in defining what it means to be human, including the various ways that this category has been ...

Exiled From Their Own Lands: Indigenist Policies, Oil, and Colonial Plunder in 20th Century Venezuela

open access: yesThe Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, Volume 31, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines the historical displacement of Indigenous peoples in Venezuela, focusing on the links between indigenist policies and the exploitation of natural resources, particularly oil, throughout the 20th century. Using a combined historical and ethnographic approach, it demonstrates how the formation of the Venezuelan nation‐state

A Small Cosmological Constant from a Large Number of Extra Dimensions

open access: yesUniverse
In this article, we consider the 4 + n dimensional spacetimes among which one is the four dimensional physical Universe and the other is an n-dimensional sphere with constant radius in the framework of Lanczos-Lovelock gravity. We find that the curvature

“Good job reporting this!”: Examining psychological needs and community building in YouTube conspiracy narratives

open access: yesPolitical Psychology, Volume 47, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract The proliferation of conspiracy theories online has tangible offline consequences, both on an individual and collective level. Conspiracy narratives have been associated with reduced belief in democracy, the rise of populist parties, and can act as a radicalization multiplier in such contexts.

Alignment of the Starlings: Learning With Generative AI

open access: yesFuture Humanities, Volume 4, Issue 1, May 2026.
ABSTRACT I will argue that answers to normative questions concerning the place of generative AI in learning rest on answers to ontological questions regarding (1) precisely what is happening when a human ‘interacts’ with generative AI and (2) What is distinctive about organic learning as opposed to currently existing ‘machine learning’ (3) What is the ...

Effect of Field Line Torsion on the Polarization of ULF Waves

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract In this paper we suggest a simple modification of the dipole magnetic field which introduces field‐aligned currents and torsion to the field lines. The resulting field lines are not contained in the meridional planes and have resemblance to the geomagnetic field lines in the dawn and dusk flanks of the magnetosphere. We analyze polarization of

Thermal Segregation and Reddening in Europa's Double Ridges

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Europa's double ridges often display lower albedo and redder color than their surroundings. Their unique topography may cause sublimation‐driven darkening due to illumination and self‐heating—the process of thermal segregation. We apply an advanced 3D thermophysical model, including shadowing and self‐heating through mutual exchange of ...

Lateral Variations in Lunar Crustal Thickness Inferred From Apollo Seismic and GRAIL Gravity Data

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The internal structure of the Moon is key to understanding its formation, evolution, and bulk composition. In particular, determining the structure of the crust–mantle interface (Moho), including its lateral variations, is of significant importance, but current knowledge is still insufficient to fully constrain it.

Feral Territories: The Suburbanization of Nature in Eastern Bangkok

open access: yesAntipode, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Between the 1960s and 1980s, American and international financial and technical assistance spurred men with means to bring together concrete, asphalt, timber, and steel to construct unplanned, poorly serviced (because they were unplanned), and expensive subdivisions at the outskirts of what was then central Bangkok.
