American Anthropologist, Volume 127, Issue 2, Page 233-243, June 2025.

In this article, I rely on participant fieldwork as a student in a group of initiated donso hunters in Burkina Faso, which involved ...

‘We welcome migrants and the tourists come’: postmodern hospitality in Palermo, Sicily

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 30, Issue 3, Page 537-554, September 2024.
Abstract In Palermo, Sicily, actors use the metaphor of hospitality to profess cosmopolitan attitudes towards ‘migrants’.

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 30, Issue 3, Page 589-607, September 2024.

Culture as response

Ethos, Volume 52, Issue 2, Page 308-323, June 2024.
Abstract To explain cultural diversity, many theories refer to the social construction of reality. In this telling, we frame the world to make it meaningful. In my analysis of what people in Namibia and Germany know about “SARS‐Cov‐2” and “climate change,” I propose an anti‐constructivist alternative. Drawing on the work of the phenomenologist Bernhard
