Some time ago, Ana Chiritoiu and I co-edited an SI on Anthropologies of Capture, in which we proposed capture as a generative anthropological analytic. Read our Introduction here and see if you're captivated (and remember, disagreement is also a form of capture!):

Anthropologists: please support

magazine and staff (who are trying to unionise!) by writing a letter to the Wenner-Gren Foundation that may choose to shut it down. At a time in which eugenics 2.0 is now debated in US politics, people need anthropology!

Written 70k+ words of my dissertation and now stuck on the conclusion. Maybe I don’t know what to do with it. Maybe I’m just not ready to let it go yet. Maybe both. Maybe neither.

"Bayer’s shares have declined about 80 per cent since it took over the US’s Monsanto in 2018." + over 5000 people were let go. The curse of bigness in action. So much for the argument that corporate mergers are necessary to spur growth, create jobs, etc.

"What is Ramadan – and other questions answered: A brief guide to the Islamic season of Ramadan for the curious, the bored, the uninformed and the ignorant." For my non-Muslim friends, and haters!, I wrote this guide to Ramadan and fasting almost 15 years (!) ago.
