At the same time, a cost-of-living crisis has made co-living appealing to Athenians themselves as a means of negotiating rising rental prices caused by the commoditization of housing. This article attends to the form of collective domesticity that has taken shape in this context. While co-living developers seek to interpellate tenants through notions of “dreaming” and “community,” it is an ethic detached from these conceptualizations of shared values that emerges as the affective affordance of domestic life in co-living spaces. Joining attention to domesticity with a discussion of financialization, I argue that co-living establishments leverage the perceived benefits of an “impersonal intimacy” among their tenants and, in so doing, fuse conditions of precarity to the structural circumstances that have sustained the commodification of housing in the city.</p>","PeriodicalId":51423,"journal":{"name":"Cultural Anthropology","volume":"41 3","pages":"537-564"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.14506/ca41.3.03","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148878442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing from ethnographic fieldwork and autoethnographic narrative, I trace how racialized patients are asked to endure uncertainty, dismissal, and bureaucratic delay even as their medical conditions worsen. Focusing on my experience of an ectopic pregnancy alongside interviews with Black and Brown birthing people, I argue that waiting is not a neutral temporal state, but a racialized and gendered form of harm. Situating these experiences within the anthropology of reproduction, I show how waiting becomes both a medical directive and a disciplinary demand that erodes trust, safety, and survival.

Drawing on eighteen months of ethnographic research at The Sanctuary, a non-profit organization in Philadelphia that provides free social services, clothing, and food to vulnerable populations, I show how de-escalation practitioners use their bodies to manipulate both time and space into non-carceral outcomes. I focus on four overlapping techniques: suspension, the open hold, bridging, and collectivity. Unlike much of the clinical and psychological research on de-escalation, I situate these techniques within Black feminist, performance studies, and anthropological analytics that insist on the embodied nature of political struggle and the malleability of time and temporality. I argue that de-escalation at The Sanctuary creates a space-time in which abolitionist horizons of a future without police or prisons are negotiated through intimate, quotidian social interactions.</p>","PeriodicalId":51423,"journal":{"name":"Cultural Anthropology","volume":"41 3","pages":"667-691"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.14506/ca41.3.08","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148878469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While providing a powerful critique of the politics of expertise, this scholarship tends to reproduce the image of international experts as competent, knowledgeable, and effective. This article goes beyond such portrayals to examine the contradictions in the work of international urban experts, or urbanists. I discuss how and why their limited empirical knowledge of local urban realities did not undermine their status as experts, as they engaged with and narrated the development of Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa.

But I contend that calendrical teleologies do not actually motivate the everyday people, activists, and workers leading the U.S. energy transition. This article explores another temporal schema seemingly unrelated to climate: the American pioneer settling the frontier, realizing his destiny through individual initiative. I contend that this origin story works in tandem with contemporary entrepreneurialism to affectively animate a market-based approach to energy transitions that is anything but rapid. Thus, consideration of frontier temporalities can contextualize the sluggish pace of decarbonization. While many studies identify various catalysts of renewable energy adoption, my analysis of “the renewable energy frontier” suggests that these inquiries overlook the insidious individualism of energy transitions in a capitalist context, in which “the market” is misunderstood as an accelerator of change.</p>","PeriodicalId":51423,"journal":{"name":"Cultural Anthropology","volume":"41 3","pages":"692-717"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.14506/ca41.3.09","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148878470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Explanations that shelve away such “weird” stories into cultural boxes or reframe them as metaphors for something familiar not only close the door on the theoretical possibilities of openness but also do not do justice to their interlocutors' own inquiries about the world. Here, I draw on stories of ghosts and unsettling dreams taken from my fieldwork in Thailand, both from my interlocutors' and my own experience, as a way to contradict evidentiary regimes. Taking up the idea of “the weird” from literary studies and the Buddhist philosophy of Nāgārjuna, I understand such stories not as representations of the mundane workings of economy or psychology, nor as culturally bound narratives, but instead as a co-creation of a world always unfinished and unfixed. Seeing Nāgārjuna's notion of contradiction as a method, I argue that a productive, dialogic engagement with the weird can destabilize not only the ethnographic encounter but also the way that the world works.</p>","PeriodicalId":51423,"journal":{"name":"Cultural Anthropology","volume":"41 3","pages":"743-764"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.14506/ca41.3.11","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148878472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Critical theorists argue that platforms, as monopolistic digital intermediaries, act as rent-seeking landlords in between producers and consumers of commodities. Bringing a feminist, ethnographic lens to “the Internet of Landlords,” this article follows Indian food media creators on YouTube and Instagram, asking: Why is the Hindu home kitchen, a stubbornly guarded space of heterosexual caste-making, now opening for business? In unraveling this paradox, the essay argues that content creation's production relations take the centuries-old labor form of household industry, refashioned in this conjuncture as the entrepreneurial “household start-up.” As the private household becomes a key locus of global production, this hype-fueled resignification of home-based piecework depoliticizes labor while reifying social difference.

Birmingham's Somali mothers are one collective who bear the brunt of this crisis in experiences of successive evictions and cycles through various forms of temporary accommodation hostels, hotels, and houses in disrepair. In this essay we listen to their testimonies of being “a homeless” [sic]. Listening reveals that homelessness makes for an emic articulation of an experience of recursive displacement that began long before the present housing crisis. “A homeless” marks a politicized refugee subjectivity that invokes multiple chronotopes of trauma, akin to what Vinh Nguyen has called refugeetude. Through this case we contribute to pressing conversations on the persistence of refugee subjectivities in postcolonial Britain and elsewhere by substantiating their psychic dimensions.
