Based on ethnographic research in Huanglu village, I explore how their adoption of new greenhouse technologies is shaped by both the shifting political-economic landscape of post-socialist China and their desire to align kin-based solidarities with emerging values of progress. I argue that these farmers use greenhouse farming to cultivate a strategic, in-between position, distinguishing themselves from the perceived stasis of the older generation while upholding familial commitments, unlike the perceived rootlessness of younger urban entrepreneurs. This inter-mobility is animated by an ethos of yongxin, which frames their entrepreneurial risk-taking as a form of intergenerational care. The study highlights how China's broader societal transformations generate not just new agricultural technologies but also new subjectivities within its stratified mobility regimes.</p>","PeriodicalId":51423,"journal":{"name":"Cultural Anthropology","volume":"41 2","pages":"402-427"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.14506/ca41.2.09","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148160750","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}

I trace three interrelated dimensions of repair. First, I show how repair operates as both replacement and improvisation, challenging the assumption that maintenance necessarily counteracts decay; instead, it can accelerate deterioration. Second, I analyze repair as reappropriation, focusing on workers' “tropicalization” of foreign technologies to fit local conditions. Finally, I explore how the inevitability of failure, stemming from the machines' inherent faults, demands creative mending and continuous perseverance. These practices generate not only new objects assembled from scrap but also narratives of West African railway workers whose engineering contributions have long been marginalized in colonial and postcolonial histories. Material patching thus becomes an act of reparation, asserting technical authorship and forging alternative histories of infrastructure, labor, and expertise.</p>","PeriodicalId":51423,"journal":{"name":"Cultural Anthropology","volume":"41 2","pages":"450-483"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.14506/ca41.2.11","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148160752","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 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. I argue that corporate narratives of restoration, responsibility, and compensation function as mirages, obscuring violent corporate practices while legitimizing emerging regimes of energy extractivism.</p>","PeriodicalId":51423,"journal":{"name":"Cultural Anthropology","volume":"41 1","pages":"134-162"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.14506/ca41.1.06","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147564453","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}

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}
