They live with, play with, eat with, dance with, feel with, and, increasingly, write or film with their interlocutors. But most of all, they listen and converse. As they enter the lingual ecology of their hosts through a range of practices of communication, ethnographers begin a multi-faceted journey of translation—as do their interlocutors. Translation—of words, tone of voice, gestures, facial expressions, musical sounds, images, and a whole array of signifiers—is always an act of interpretation, of translating worlds. Thus, how do we know if, for instance, the Tok Pisin <i>bodi</i> corresponds to the modern English <i>body</i>? Furthermore, ethnographers and host societies not only translate one word as entity into another and into academic technologies of representation (scholarly writing), they also inevitably translate and transfix concepts, meanings, and classifications. Thus, language is grounded in cultural practices, ontologies, and epistemologies, which, in turn, are politically and life-historically situated. As ethnographers, we depend on our interlocutors' gift of translating their world and knowledge to us, while we respond on the grounds of our own lingual-epistemic-biographical situatedness. Our discussion of translation as a method of inquiry, understanding, and knowledge exchange is based on the view that translation is an inevitable and fundamental relational practice. As such it deals with multiple epistemological realms in which anthropologists find themselves before, during, and after fieldwork. We here unpack the significance of the language/s used in our fieldwork in Germany, central Australia, and the East Sepik region in Papua New Guinea, demonstrating through concrete examples the work of ʻturning overʼ words and worlds.</p>","PeriodicalId":45452,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Anthropology","volume":"37 1","pages":"64-76"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/taja.70074","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148193960","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}

Bringing together ethnographically grounded contributions across Australia, Bangladesh, Germany, India, Indonesia, Fiji, Myanmar, Pakistan and Western Sahara, it examines how methods are unsettled and reworked in practice. Rather than asking whether anthropology requires new methods, we approach method as it comes to be shaped by encounters, disruptions and uncertainties in the field. We revisit critiques of the ‘ethnographic present’ while attending to the ways in which fieldwork exceeds bounded notions of time and place. We seek to expand anthropology's methodological repertoire through approaches attuned to temporality, multispecies relations, sensory experience, materiality and digital infrastructures, while attending carefully to the contingencies of fieldwork. The articles in this collection draw attention to vulnerability, care, suspicion and refusal in fieldwork, and in so doing unsettle disciplinary ideals of mastery and endurance. By ‘messing with methods’, we suggest a vision of anthropology as a responsive and reflexive practice that takes uncertainty as a condition through which knowledge is reconfigured in a changing world.</p>","PeriodicalId":45452,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Anthropology","volume":"37 1","pages":"8-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/taja.70082","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148194183","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}

Alongside the renewal of religious life quốc ngữ dominates most aspects of daily life. However, since the post-1986 reforms, Sino-Nôm has experienced a notable resurgence among the Kinh (or Viêt), the majority ethnic group in Vietnam. This ethnographic study investigates the phenomenon of writing petition sheets (<i>sớ</i>), requests to the gods at sacred sites in the urban core of Hanoi, by analysing the interactions between petition sheet writers, clients, and script choices. It explores the supplicants' motivations behind the selection of a particular script. The research argues that script choice is shaped by clients and scribes' beliefs about ritual efficacy, perceptions of sacredness, and by practical considerations. Furthermore, the writing process is examined as ‘performance’ and the petition sheets as ‘artefacts’, of which the latter serve as both tangible and intangible links between the human and spirit worlds. This study deepens understanding of how writing systems in religious practice shape ritual experiences.</p>","PeriodicalId":45452,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Anthropology","volume":"37 1","pages":"141-159"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148193898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rather than taking ontological alterity <i>seriously,</i> in this paper I ask instead what it would mean to take ontological alterity <i>sincerely.</i> Seriousness involves a commendable commitment to bracketing out all pre-formulated metaphysical assumptions such that the conceptualising project of the anthropologist is unvarnished by the taint of standard Western habitual thought. Sincerity, on the other hand, means bracketing out nothing. The sincere anthropologist instead assumes that their habitual commitments to the world are amenable to alteration through submission to the teaching of their fieldwork companions.

Convergence paradigms recognise that change is rarely unilateral, but is a dynamic process with many different actors colliding and aligning in ways that produce marked differences. The author locates specific catalysts of religious change in Asia—apocalypticism, revelation, hermeneutics, and technology—each the result of various convergences.
