""Arts on the Margins of World Encounters" presents original contributions that deal with artworks of differently marginalized people-such as ethnic minorities, refugees, immigrants, disabled people, and descendants of slaves-, a wide variety of art forms-like clay figures, textile, paintings, poems, museum exhibits and theater performances-, and original data based on committed, long-term fieldwork and/or archival research in Brazil, Martinique, Rwanda, India, Indonesia, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. The volume develops theoretical approaches inspired by innovative theorists and is based on currently debated analytical categories including the ethnographic turn in contemporary art, polycentric aesthetics, and aesthetic cannibalization, among others. This collection also incorporates fascinating and intriguing contemporary cases, but with solid theoretical arguments and grounds. "Arts on the Margins of World Encounters" will appeal to students at all levels, scholars, and practitioners in arts, aesthetics, anthropology, social inequality, and discrimination, as well as researchers in other fields, including post-colonialism and cultural organizations"--

"La revue « Documents » (1929-1931) a-t-elle encore une actualité ? Les sujets qu’elle aborde participent directement d’une histoire de l’anthropologie européenne qui ne cesse de s’interroger sur ses sources.La revue « Documents » reste pour beaucoup l’insolente revue de Georges Bataille. Relire l’ensemble des articles révèle une problématique négligée : l’écriture de l’objet sculpté. Comment cette écriture s’adosse à une idéologie, comment cette idéologie reconduit des concepts qui touchent à l’origine de l’humanité : archaïque, primitif, évolution… Ces concepts ont une connotation raciale évidente, mais tous les auteurs ne les emploient pas dans le même sens. Relire « Documents » aujourd’hui permet de réintégrer ce « magazine d’art » dans les divisions politiques de l’Europe. On y découvre aussi des ressemblances inattendues entre les langages de l’archéologie et de l’ethnologie, bien que celle-ci semble seule en mesure de se réinventer."

A Collection of Creative Anthropologies brings together a series of creative work of anthropologists who share the art of writing that arises from ‘ordinary’ engagement and reveals its potential for the reimagining of anthropological futures and alternative worlds. This is a collection of creative anthropology anchored in experimentality and encouragement. A book that defies imaginaries of academic convention through the cultivation of a mundus imaginalis requiring moments of pause, of introspection, and of discomfort. This centring of creativity at the heart of anthropology subtly conveys how the complex ethical and moral issues around fieldwork and anthropological theorising can be reflected on through writing otherwise, in creative spaces such as this book. A Collection of Creative Anthropologies fits the current call for radical revisions of the academic canon in anthropology, and the social sciences and humanities more broadly. Eva van Roekel is an anthropologist working at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Her work focuses on ethics and violence in Latin America, particularly Argentina and Venezuela. Her scholarly work appeared in various anthropological and regional journals and her monograph Phenomenal Justice (RUP) engages with retributive justice through an affective lens. Feeling unfulfilled with academic genres, she started experimenting with creative writing and filmmaking, which resulted in various short story publications and documentaries screened at international film festivals. Together with Alisse Waterston and Fiona Murphy they launched the Ethnographic Salon in 2022, a novel space to perform creative anthropologies. She is also one of the co-founders of the EASA Creative Anthropologies Network (CAN). Fiona Murphy is an anthropologist based in SALIS in Dublin City University. As an anthropologist of displacement, she works with Stolen Generations in Australia and people seeking asylum and refuge in Ireland, the United Kingdom and Turkey. She has a particular passion for creative and public anthropologies and is always interested in experimenting with new forms and genres. Alongside of her scholarly work, she has published shorts stories, poetry, and creative non-fiction across a number of different forums. She co-organised the successful Ethnographic Salon with Alisse Waterston and Eva van Roekel at EASA2022 in Belfast, which showcased creative work by anthropologists. She is one of the co-founders of the EASA Creative Anthropologies Network (CAN).

This book is for everyone curious about the Sun and how it has been perceived throughout human history, including the modern scientific view. Beginning with ancient myths and legends, superstitions, art and poetry, the book proceeds to explain the amazing composition of our star, how it produces the heat and light on which all life depends, as well as touching the harvesting of solar energy that is becoming so essential in the modern world. The book is illustrated by the author's own artwork and includes first-hand scientific information provided in interviews with professional astrophysicists.

This book offers a nuanced reflection on the meaning of making and artisan agency, demonstrating how copper-smithing produces not only objects, but also lives, worlds, meanings, and social transformation. Through long-term ethnography, grounded in apprenticeship to master coppersmith Jesús Pérez Ornelas, Feder-Nadoff’s intimate description of communal and artisanal life in Santa Clara del Cobre, Michoacán, México provides a critical reappraisal of aesthetics and compelling ways to think about how aura and agency are produced. By mapping flows and frictions between persons, places, and things, this study closes the gap between economic and socio-political analysis of craft, on the one hand, and aesthetic, material, and phenomenological studies of making, on the other. Although craft historically plays a prominent national, even ideological role in Mexico, as in many countries, most artisans ironically remain absent, often living in marginalized, precarious circumstances. By tracing the cycles of life, death, and afterlife, of these maker-protagonists, their bodies of knowledge, skilled performances, and objects, this poetic monograph testifies to their presence.
