Addressing our written text to intimate family and audiences from elsewhere, in multiple voices and modes of address, we offer an opportunity to consider the dynamics of creating, keeping and caring for memory through the affordances of digital co-creativity. These include what we term ‘painting remix animation’, a form of what co-author Rosalyn Boko calls <i>mixamila<span>n</span>i</i> (‘mixing together’ of different elements). Guided by the artist's vibrant palette and life-expressive practice, visitors to the article can move and rest amongst a variety of standpoints through which to attune to questions of history, memory, pictorial storytelling, love, friendship and joy. We hope that in this way, everyone can sense the world-making powers and poetics of colour and understand how our style of slow research towards digital mixamilani creates a new kind of archive for holding paintings carefully, outside of the art commodity market.</p>","PeriodicalId":45452,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Anthropology","volume":"35 1-2","pages":"117-134"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/taja.12488","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142245096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lowe","doi":"10.1111/taja.12496","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/taja.12496","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Taonga puoro is a Māori instrumental tradition through which one cultivates an improvisational form of playing with the world. It does not follow musical notation. ‘Instruments’ vary from rocks, to bones, wood and other non-traditional materials, such as glass. They can be found in situ, or carefully crafted and gifted. Each performance is different, new and responsive not only to the riffing soundings of fellow humans but also to the wider worlds of more-than-human sensuous agency with which we attune, respond and participate. In both their materiality and their performativity, taonga puoro draws attention to points of convergence, in which histories, ancestors, human and more-than-human entities mingle as affective co-collaborators in a world already playing in co-composition. Thinking and riffing with this idea of co-composition as a practice of attuning to how I participate in the world that I have come to know, this sound–image–text article is made to revisit and dwell within moments of creative-critical world-making through playing with my close friend Jessica Kahukura (Te Ātihaunui-a-Pāpārangi, Ngā Rauru, Ngāti Kahungunu, Ngāti Tūwharetoa).

We invited contributors to creatively rethink the form of the academic article with us and built a custom-designed website to host the results. All original research contributions in this collection are made up of two parts: a digital article and its author/s' exegetical commentary. They have been peer reviewed as a pair.

Kirin Narayan and Ken George have been pursuing an ethnographic and historical study of Vishwakarma worship in India and beyond since 2017 and teamed up that year with Anthony Lovenheim Irwin—a specialist on Theravada Buddhism and material culture—to lead research into Thailand, where the Hindu-Buddhist deity Vishwakarma is known as Phra Witsanukam. No matter where research has taken us, Vishwakarma is celebrated as the patron deity of artisans, technicians, architects, engineers, and others whose livelihood relies on tools, machines, and fabrication—like the graduates of Thailand's vocational academies. Beyond its obvious relevance to regional studies, the broader aim of our ethnographic and comparative work on Vishwakarma worship has been to recuperate the role of technē and material culture in lived religion and lived cosmology. Our multimedia article, ‘Cult, cosmos, and craft at a Thai art academy’, is in keeping with that aim. For the purposes of this special issue of &lt;i&gt;TAJA&lt;/i&gt; on ‘Epistemic attunements’, we also have taken steps to align and shape the article's collaborative design process with the cosmo-technical dispositions of Phra Witsanukam's devotees.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In contrast to more-than-human approaches in multispecies ethnography, environmental anthropology, sensory ethnography, and affect theory—where ‘attunement’ has gained such methodological and analytic traction—we attune to the numinous, the luminous, the machine, and the tool, and the way devotees dwell, and indeed, attune with them and with each other.

In short, what we propose here is that reaching beyond anthropology offers a way to return the discipline to its core commitments.
