This essay explores the slow violence and death experienced by marginalized, racialized, indigenous bodies as climate change differentially impacts communities across the globe. Paying attention to locations beyond the spectacular events that have come to be associated with climate change, the article highlights violence and death on the margins, and the complex planetary relationships that make such violence both possible and nearly imperceptible on the global stage. By taking a planetary view of localized violence, the article traces the precarious positionality of communities such as those living in villages in rural Papua New Guinea, villages at the heart of the ethnographic account.

In Zimbabwe, many traditional practitioners argue that gender transgression and same-sex desires are caused by the presence of ancestral spirits known as amadlozi. Anthropologists have often identified spirit-mediumship practices such as these as local expressions of queerness. Young queer people in Zimbabwe view such explanations with skepticism and doubt, yet many experience <i>amadlozi</i> communicating with them and in some cases cultivate deep and meaningful relationships with them. This article argues that engagements with ancestral spirits work to reimagine queerness within ancestral epistemologies and respond to colonial projects that have sought to demonize both ancestors and queerness. At the same time, it shows how young queer Zimbabweans' relationships with spirits articulate novel forms of intimate attachment that expand anthropological understandings of “queer kinship.”</p>","PeriodicalId":51423,"journal":{"name":"Cultural Anthropology","volume":"41 1","pages":"5-29"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.14506/ca41.1.01","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147564356","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}

When an open pit mine is about to close or has recently closed, companies promote post-mining strategies framed as ecosystem restoration and social compensation. Yet daily practices reveal a contrasting reality: confinement, land and water grabbing, pollution, disregard for legal rulings, and large-scale ecological disruption. Drawing on ethnographic research conducted since 2018, I discuss how landscapes shaped by these specific forms of capitalist extraction configure transformed, fragmented, and reconstituted forms of nature suitable for future forms of extractive value production through rehabilitated yet toxic ecologies, agro-industrial projects, and energy transition initiatives. These processes generate prosthetic landscapes and ecologies where nature is simultaneously restored and destroyed.

It represents one of several narratives in which locals express mistrust of foreign motivations and geopolitical deception. Building on recent scholarship on speculative undergrounds and conspiracy theories, this article examines how Afghans use folktales to explain obscure events and convey anxieties about literacy, knowledge, and exploitation. Narratives of deception flourish in marginal spaces, such as unknown shrines, which often become sites of doubt, uncertainty, and storytelling. In this legend, foreigners sometimes assume the role of a trickster, reflecting the “intelligent outsider” motif common in Afghan stories that speak to local simplicity and cunning intelligence. This article argues for increased scholarly attention to folktales within the context of conspiracy theories and lived geopolitics, as these stories offer valuable insights into the everyday values, fears, and experiences of people living in unstable environments.</p>","PeriodicalId":51423,"journal":{"name":"Cultural Anthropology","volume":"41 1","pages":"82-106"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.14506/ca41.1.04","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147564354","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}

This meant that more than 1 million women in 2010 were raising their children without a partner. The increase in solo motherhood is not an isolated phenomenon, but part of deep transformations that have reshuffled entrenched formations of gender hierarchies, family arrangements, class inequalities, and racial discrimination in São Paulo. In recent decades, many young women found possibilities to shape their lives in ways that not only differed from their mothers' but that also significantly challenged the previously dominant model of the heteronormative nuclear family organized around a breadwinner and a housemaker. Analyzing the lives of solo mothers, this article identifies an emergent formation of collective life in which the nuclear family emerges as a minoritarian arrangement (around 40 percent) and in which women feel empowered to simply lead other lives.</p>","PeriodicalId":51423,"journal":{"name":"Cultural Anthropology","volume":"41 1","pages":"163-187"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.14506/ca41.1.07","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147564355","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}

At a Thai facility dedicated to venomous snake husbandry for the production of antivenom, the biological pharmaceutical used in the treatment of this disease, a team of staff manages a captive population of the snakes most likely to cause a medically significant bite. Here, both snakes and snake handlers face a significant risk of bodily harm. Drawing on twelve months of multisited ethnographic research, this essay shows how everyday acts of husbandry in service of antivenom production reconstitute the temporal processes of life through the interplay of biological necessity, lived experience, and economic limitation.

By drawing on the affective conditions of ancestral knowledge production, including a simple curiosity to care precipitating initial public access to Bimbia, Cameroonians cannot only use the genetic diaspora's return to neutralize the impact of atmospheric violence by the postcolonial state.

Instead, young rice scientists struggle to synchronize the divergent tempos of the contemporary scientific career with experiments set to the rhythms of the rice plant. Drawing on a current Chinese buzzword, we argue that young scientists are experiencing <i>neijuan</i> (involution), a pattern of growing intensity and complexity of work that yields diminishing returns.

By analyzing the mutual obligations these donations create and the diverse ways that shopkeepers justify helping migrants, the article argues that waste donations occur primarily when they enable shopkeepers to reproduce their moral authority over migrant waste pickers. In doing so, it explores two related issues: the consequences of the state's retreat from providing universal welfare opportunities to irregular migrants; and the embedding of migrant hospitality within service relations in a precarious urban economy.
