Its origins story is an example of proto-patrimonial practices associated with the emergence of the canon of national heritage, understood as specific, existing cultural assets, either material or symbolic, which a given community inherited from previous generations and feels obliged to preserve. Dedicated to a poet whose oeuvre was recognised as priceless national treasure soon after his death, the monument transformed the space around it, imbuing the very centre of Krakow with new semantic codes, associated with the idea of a nation as an autonomous cultural and political community. The statue’s annihilation during the Nazi occupation of Poland and its post-war reconstruction led to a major revaluation of its essential form. The monument changed its patrimonial status and became a kind of a secular relic. Well-integrated into the urban landscape, the Mickiewicz Monument is regarded as one of Krakow’s landmarks, continuously entering interactions with the people around it. For tourists, it is mainly used as a convenient orientation point and an attraction that – as advertised by guide books – ought to be seen and photographed. For Krakow’s residents, it is simply Adaś, a symbol of local identity, a meeting spot and the background for family photographs. Since the very moment of its unveiling, the Mickiewicz Monument has also functioned as a democratic rostrum, becoming one of the brightest spots on the political map of the city.","PeriodicalId":43997,"journal":{"name":"Anthropological Notebooks","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49019016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Em-ploying data from ethnographic ﬁeldwork, the present paper has a focus on exiled scholars, artists, and writers hosted in the Nordic countries. Living in exile enables the interlocutors to criticise the regimes’ perceived injustice, and to accuse them of limiting freedom of expression and human rights. In return, the exiled intellectuals are regarded as a threat, and they are personally persecuted in the form of torture, “ideological re-education”, imprisonment, execution or “disappearance”. Embedded in their opposition is a belief that cultural forms can change, and the equivocal nature of the trickster ﬁgure symbolises the interlocutors’ deﬁance of the perceived homogeneity. Applying trickster analytically provides an opportunity for illumi-nating normative common-senseness, which can reveal potentials for the cultural transformation of static cultures and identities. The interlocutors’ opposition takes shape by using a diversity of creativity and innovative constellations, which shows that power structures can be contested and that social conditions can be shaped by agency.","PeriodicalId":43997,"journal":{"name":"Anthropological Notebooks","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2020-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41923840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The film shows a group of LGBT+ people using art to explore recovery from substance use with reference to their own biographies and wider social issues. The paper interrogates the interaction of visual and performing arts and storytelling in touching, articulating and representing the film’s main focus - the injustices of LGBT+ people. Using the idea of unsettling narrative(s), we analyse how the film makers privilege exploration over explanation, and glimpsed momentary understandings over narrative coherence, explanation and denouement. In order to align the writing process with the filmmaking methodology (influenced by anthropologist Tim Ingold’s (2014) understanding of the creativity of undergoing) we utilised a methodological tool that Ali contributed to developing called the scenic composition (Froggett et al. 2014). We argue that the paper’s significance is both substantive and methodological: artistically metabolised narratives make it possible to complicate ‘the stories being listened for’ (Woods et al: 2019); and this in turn begins to dismantle the binaries around which much current addiction treatment policy and practice is constructed.","PeriodicalId":43997,"journal":{"name":"Anthropological Notebooks","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2020-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44699552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
