Jordan PhD Student","doi":"10.1111/anhu.70075","DOIUrl":"10.1111/anhu.70075","url":null,"abstract":"504–907 is a comparative visual ethnography linking Louisiana and Alaska through the shared experiences of oil, disaster, and waste. While these regions are often imagined as opposites—subtropical versus Arctic—they are bound together by the same wasting relationships that Marco Armiero identifies as the Wasteocene: processes that produce wasted people and wasted places. Drawing on my own experiences growing up in New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the Deepwater Horizon spill, and subsequent fieldwork in both Louisiana and Alaska, I approach these landscapes through walking, photographing, and pairing. At the core of 504–907 are photographic diptychs organized into three categories: building portraits, people, and things seen on walks. These pairings juxtapose structures like grocery stores and bars, moments of kinship from crawfish boils to basketball games, and everyday details like mismatched chairs and patched storefronts. Rather than contrasting differences for its own sake, the diptychs highlight how ordinary materials, practices, and rituals register disaster and survival. Following Jerome Krase's notion of “urban vernacular landscapes,” I argue for a visual semiotics of the Wasteocene, one that makes visible how waste materializes in peeling paint, improvised repairs, and the persistence of community events. This project demonstrates how comparative photography can serve as both an ethnographic method and a theoretical intervention. By treating the ordinary as archive, 504–907 reframes Louisiana and Alaska not as extremes, but as resonant sites of endurance. The diptychs reveal how resilience emerges in the face of collapse, offering a visual vocabulary for the everyday labor of survival in the Wasteocene.","PeriodicalId":53597,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology and Humanism","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146057793","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}

{"title":"Managing death in exile","authors":"Sealing Cheng","doi":"10.1111/anhu.70072","DOIUrl":"10.1111/anhu.70072","url":null,"abstract":"Managing Death in Exile is a theatrical performance that draws on ethnographic research with long-term asylum-seekers from sub-Saharan Africa in Hong Kong since 2012. The performance told the story of Denise (pseudonym), who had to manage the illness, funeral, cremation, and repatriation of ashes of her good friend, Rosie (pseudonym). Dying in exile means locating one's dead body in a transnational web of conflicting cosmologies, temporalities, kinship structures, and national imagination. What legal and moral strictures does death re-introduce a body into? How does a politically, financially, and socially marginalized diasporic community get mobilized and divided in managing a co-national's death? Denise had to manage all these issues while dealing with her own grief over the passing of a dear friend. The unconventional choice of using ethnographic theater for academic presentation came from my yearning to activate sensorial ways of knowing not available through the written word, to incite embodied responses that resemble those a fieldworker experiences in the field. Performance ethnography as a field has largely developed in North America. In the Asian context, it is uncertain how this form of “anthropology otherwise” could fit into the fierce pursuit of universities' ranking. Hopefully, Managing Death in Exile could be a start.","PeriodicalId":53597,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology and Humanism","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/anhu.70072","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145891575","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}
