"For you I would pass through deserts of fire
Full of burning and ire, waterless and futile
…
But don't ask me to do what the strongest of men
Seeks to kill deep within, trembling sick to his bones
…
Because the truth is, there is no safe harbor anymore"

Besides, we've had the immense luck of receiving commentaries by Tim Ingold: rai.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... and George E. Marcus: rai.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... to whom we wish to extend our warmest gratitude for their time and insight.
We have benefitted from the very constructive feedback of JRAI's editorial team and peer reviewers, whose insights have allowed us to bring it to fruition.
This joint endeavour has been very long in the making: first drafted as a book proposal in 2019, it slowly grew into a positional essay, which has had many lives before its current instantiation.
Together with Francisco Martínez & Eeva Berglund, we've just published an article in the Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, where we imagine an 'inviting' anthropology.

The cover of Time and the Other: How Anthropology Makes its Object (1983), only teal and black, with mostly horizontal stripes
RIP German anthropologist Johannes Fabian, who passed away last Tuesday. Fabian was most widely known as the author of "Time and the Other: How Anthropology Makes its Object" (1983), a then-radical & still-influential critique of anthropological writing, knowledge-making & fieldwork relations. RIP.
L'attaque du Venezuela est le terrible sequel de la guerre en Ukraine : les puissances fossiles en sont réduites à revenir au modèle impérial classique pour sécuriser leur modèle politique.
La décarbonation comme garantie de sécurité reste en haut de l'agenda.

4.3.2 Knowledge does not exist—what would it be (1.4.3)? There is only know-how. In other words, there are crafts and trades. Despite all claims to the contrary, crafts hold the key to knowledge. They make it possible to return "science" to the networks from which it came (Introduction).
"La crítica sentenciosa me provoca sueño; me gustaría una crítica hecha con destellos de imaginación. No sería soberana, ni vestida de rojo. Traería consigo los rayos de posibles tempestades"
"No puedo dejar de pensar en una crítica que no busque juzgar, sino hacer existir una obra, un libro, una frase, una idea; ella encendería fuegos, observaría la hierba crecer, escucharía el viento y aprovecharía el vuelo de la espuma para esparcirla"
"El desafío político de pensar una jurisprudencia de los cuerpos no rechaza al derecho. Al contrario, despliega las capacidades de invención que nos hacen tomar el derecho como oleaje de una memoria de las luchas ocurridas, y de las que están por venir"

Una vez destituida la vieja patraña de un "sujeto único del conocimiento", toca al pensamiento construir perspectivismos, en sus varias versiones, como modos de repoblar la tierra con más ojos.
