Common ways of knowing time and age now include phones and ID cards in digital registers. I follow the elder seer Komol to explore how changing the measures of time influences the experience of time and age. How do being a ‘time being’ and ideas about ‘the good life’ change with age, technology, and history? What (dis)appears when ways of tracking time and age (dis)appear? With the expression bas, Komol points to times that are over and readiness for the new. The value of the expression bas challenges stereotypes of elders as nostalgic and emphasizes their pragmatic natality and value pluralism. The introduction of ID cards with estimated age gave access to a cash transfer programme for elders. Rather than being critical of this ‘chronocracy’, elders saw new possibilities in subject positions as ‘elderly citizens’, which added layers of being ‘time beings’. Ik old age is not a life phase following a linear timeline, but better conceptualized as a carrier bag of embodied tempi and cumulative ages. With the term ‘time poetics’, I draw attention to the aesthetic, political, and ethical creations of ‘time beings’.","PeriodicalId":47904,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute","volume":"31 S1","pages":"73-90"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1467-9655.14266","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143736529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on ethnographic material from the startup and multi-level marketing (MLM) cryptocurrency sectors, and utilizing ‘stages’ as a concept/pun – in the spatial and temporal sense – I show how economic performances must be ‘staged’ to convince people to invest. ‘Staging’ economic performances leads to creating a physical space of heightened excitement, expertise, and a temporal period that is experienced as urgent where one must think in an innovative way to bring about a profitable future. Under these conditions, ‘stages’ reveals how the line between a legitimate and an illegitimate project becomes indistinguishable to those on the ground. Doing your ‘due diligence’ to discern between the two is anything but straightforward. Despite claims by Euro-American financial elites that startups and MLMs are polar opposites, this article demonstrates their striking similarity. More broadly, ‘stages’ reveals how economic performances gain efficacy, travel beyond specific sites, and come to act on people.","PeriodicalId":47904,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute","volume":"31 2","pages":"565-583"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1467-9655.14262","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143443160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ongoing expansion of the country's rocket launch site outside Kiruna relies on the Swedish state's historical construction of the region as a resource frontier. Yet fieldwork among space actors and reindeer pastoralists reveals that relations between mining and space are also invoked ethnographically: in oppositional terms, by herders for whom the impact area of the launch site serves to hold mining companies and other land users at bay; in a positive sense, among space enthusiasts who call for potential synergies between the two industries; and analogically, by actors who envisage extraplanetary futures vis-à-vis mining and the subterranean. While the grounding of outer space in earthly milieus is a recurring analytical procedure in the social sciences and humanities, these empirical-ethnographic connections and comparisons encourage an anthropological approach that also attends to the way Earth is occasionally rendered extraterrestrial-like.","PeriodicalId":47904,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute","volume":"31 2","pages":"605-625"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1467-9655.14261","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143443329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It extends anthropological analysis of charisma to non-human bodies, and argues that charisma is created by more-than-human processes involving tactile interactions among people and matter within particular social and political-economic contexts. This historical and ethnographic study of a few iconic dinosaur specimens, and the famed scientists who have collected, studied, and mounted them, shows how the more-than-human charisma of vertebrate palaeontology has been shaped by the violent masculinity that rose to prominence in conjunction with the exploration and colonization of the western United States. It further demonstrates how the virile charisma of certain scientists and fossils continues to be a powerful force that mobilizes people to dedicate enormous resources and labour to them.","PeriodicalId":47904,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute","volume":"31 2","pages":"584-604"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143443328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article develops a framework for assessing the directionality of history in a (pre)historic heath landscape in Denmark. To make a living from the heaths, people concentrated the heath's limited fertility through pastoralism, swidden agriculture, and/or manuring. At different points in time, the balance of these strategies differed radically. We use this insight to evaluate the trajectorial affordances of different agropastoral regimes across the longue‐durée period c.1600 BCE‐1850 CE. Trajectorial affordances is our term for describing the historical directionalities held in potential and actuated by specific human‐landscape engagements. We use our model to interrogate the seemingly linear evolution of the nutrient‐concentrating systems from ‘simple’ herding practices of the Early Bronze Age to more ‘advanced’ manure‐based agriculture in the nineteenth century. Although the nineteenth‐century system was sophisticated, it centred on a gruelling manuring practice that unleashed destructive sand drifts. We argue this mode of agriculture arose with the gradual constriction of livelihood options associated with civilizational expansion. Our analysis grapples with the open‐ended nature of human‐landscape becoming and the dynamics of what Ian Hodder calls entrapment.","PeriodicalId":47904,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143418414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
