Fakes, forgery, counterfeits, hoaxes, bullshit, frauds, knock offs-such terms speak, ostensibly, to the inverse of truth or the obverse of authenticity and sincerity. But what does the modern human obsession with fabrications and frauds tell us about ourselves? And what can anthropology tell us about this obsession? This timely book is the product of the first Annual Debate of Anthropological Keywords, a collaborative project between HAU, the American Ethnological Society, and L'Homme, held each year at the American Anthropological Association Meetings. The aim of the debate is reflect critically on keywords and terms that play a pivotal and timely role in discussions of different cultures and societies, and of the relations between them. This book, with multiple authors, explodes open our common sense notions of "novelty," "originality," and "truth," questioning how cultures where deception and mistrust flourish seem to produce effective, albeit opaque, forms of sociality.

Revolution Beyond the Event brings togetherleading international anthropologists alongside emerging scholarsto examine revolutionary legacies from the MENA region, LatinAmerica and the Caribbean. It explores the idea that revolutionshave varied afterlives that complicate the assumptions about theirduration, pace and progression, and argues that a renewed focus onthe temporality of radical politics is essential to ourunderstanding of revolution. Approaching revolution through itsrelationship to time, the book is a critical intervention intoattempts to define revolutions as bounded events that act assequential transitions from one political system to another. Itpursues an ethnographically driven rethinking of the temporalhorizons that are at stake in revolutionary processes, arguing thatlinear views of revolution are inextricably tied to notions ofprogress and modernity. Through a careful selection of casestudies, the book provides a critical perspective on the livedrealities of revolutionary afterlives, challenging the liberalhumanist assumptions implicit in the 'modern' idea of revolution,and reappraising the political agency of people caught up inrevolutionary situations across a variety of ethnographic contexts.

This report is the final output of the research carried out in the frame of the project The Aging African Diaspora: Perspectives from Lombardia (TAAD, funded by Fondazione Cariplo): fieldwork spanned between February 2019 and October 2021 and focussed on notions of aging and well-being within the Egyptian community in Milan. [...] At first glance, Egyptians in Milan may appear to lack visibility in the city, because they do not dwell in a precise geographical place (contrary to, for example, Chinatown) and because they are divided by socio-cultural, economic, and religious differences. One of the main dividing lines is the period of immigration into the country, which separates those who came before 2000 and those who migrated after that date. The post-2000 generation appears to be characterized by the tendency to fall in and out of the job market and thus of the legal permission to stay in the country. Moreover, the younger members of the community are surrounded by a more hostile and Islamophobic environment after 9/11. Due to this internal stratification, the community shows different stances vis à vis aging processes and practices of care targeting elderly people. This report illustrates the multifaceted meanings attached to the notion of aging, country, house, return, and future, and how coordinates such as generation, class, gender, and religion (Muslim/Copts) articulate with such concepts.
