State and life in Cuba: calibrating ideals and realities in a state-socialist system for food provision. [PDF]
Soc Anthropol, 2020 Based on our collective ethnography of Cuba’s socialist system for the provision of state‐subsidised food, this article explores manners in which the state weaves itself into the fabric of people’s everyday lives in state‐socialist society.

A right to remoteness? A missing bridge and articulations of indigeneity along an East Siberian railroad. [PDF]
Soc Anthropol, 2019 The Soviet Union and its successor states have been avid supporters of a modernisation paradigm aimed at ‘overcoming remoteness’ and ‘bringing civilisation’ to the periphery and its ‘backward’ indigenous people. The Baikal–Amur Mainline (BAM) railroad, built as a much‐hyped prestige project of late socialism, is a good example of that.

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 29, Issue 4, Page 745-762, December 2023., 2023 Abstract In post‐Soviet Cuba, instead of the political future envisioned by Revolutionary authorities, poor residents of Havana aspire to create kinship futures where there is no need to ‘sleep alone’.

L’image de la Chinoise « désexuée » sous le regard de Beauvoir : De la critique à l’idéalisation
Orbis Litterarum, Volume 78, Issue 4, Page 315-326, August 2023., 2023 Résumé Dans La longue marche, essai sur la Chine (Gallimard, 1957), malgré son admiration pour le pays maoïste, Beauvoir aborde un phénomène social controversé qui est la « désexualisation » de la femme chinoise.

Civil war and the non‐linearity of time: approaching a Mozambican politics of irreconciliation
Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 28, Issue S1, Page 50-64, April 2022., 2022 Abstract At least 1 million people died during the Mozambican civil war (1976/7‐92). Unfolding after gaining independence from Portugal (1975) and alongside experiments with Afro‐socialism in the 1980s, the war, despite its brutality, has not been subjected to global templates of reconciliation processes.

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 5-29, March 2022., 2022 Abstract When T.H. Huxley lectured on evolution and ethics in 1893, his critique of the amoral laws of the ‘cosmic process’ left his audience puzzled.
