It does, however, draw on anthropological and sociological theory that supports the significance of the lyric approach to the representation of affect in culture and its virtues over the typical narrative approach. It is set at the annual horse fair of Appleby-in-Westmorland in the North-West of England, between the Pennine Hills and the Cumbrian Lake District. Drawing on two decades of fieldwork and archive research using primary and secondary data, and extensive conversations with key informants, it unfolds over the course of a single day, beginning and ending in a vardo, the iconic “bow-top” caravan, and teases the metaphor of the journey which is core to Roma culture. It is partly written in Romany language, or cant, to convey the importance of rhythm and music in the culture, its style inspired by Tony Gatlif's 1993 film <i>Latcho Drom</i> (Safe Journey) which implies that the historical Roma journey, though often joyful, has been and remains anything but safe.</p>","PeriodicalId":53597,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology and Humanism","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147684150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Jackson Women's Health Organization</i>. In creative practice, erasure removes material from an existing source to reveal something new. Drawing on autoethnographic notes from the process of “doctoring” <i>Dobbs</i>, I show how erasure art makes core anthropological commitments of reflexivity, accountability, multiplicity, and citation visible on the page. I further argue that erasure art extends anthropological craft by modeling knowledge-making as connective, able to hold multiple interpretations at once, and collaborative. Situating these claims within feminist scholarship, multimodal anthropology, and reproductive justice advocacy, the essay argues that erasure art reflects anthropological method as well as intervenes in abortion politics by challenging the authority of legal language and bringing reproductive justice visions into view.</p>","PeriodicalId":53597,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology and Humanism","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/anhu.70085","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147569228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This piece of creative nonfiction follows an anthropologist's fateful meeting with a YouTuber during her fieldwork on digital sociality in Tokyo. The YouTuber agrees to participate in an interview for her dissertation with a catch: she <i>must</i> appear on his YouTube channel, which features foreigners eating Japanese cuisine. What seems to be an innocuous exchange turns into an anxious array of musings, as the anthropologist underestimates the popularity of the YouTuber's channel and finds herself garnering more attention than she had anticipated. “The YouTuber” highlights the shifting terrain of ethnographic encounters and digital hybridity, including the potential nature of “exchange relationships” with interlocutors who engage in digital content creation. This piece contemplates the parameters of “doing” an ethnography of the digital in contemporary Japan, which can be extended to the digital in other contexts. The characters, locations, and encounters are based on the author's ethnographic fieldwork on digital sociality in Japan, which took place in Tokyo between August 2019 and August 2020, and remotely between August 2020 and October 2021.</p>","PeriodicalId":53597,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology and Humanism","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147643228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
