"If I had let myself be ruled by reason alone, I would surely be lying dead somewhere or another in the Siberian frost.
The Siberian taiga: a massive forest region of roughly 4.5 million square miles, stretching from the Ural Mountains to the Bering Sea, breathtakingly beautiful and the coldest inhabited region in the world. Winter temperatures plummet to a bitter 97 degrees below zero, and beneath the permafrost lie the fossilized remains of mammoths, woolly rhinoceroses, and other ice age giants. For the Yukaghir, an indigenous people of the taiga, hunting sable is both an economic necessity and a spiritual experience—where trusting dreams and omens is as necessary as following animal tracks. Since the fall of Communism, a corrupt regional corporation has monopolized the fur trade, forcing the Yukaghir hunters into impoverished servitude.
Enter Rane Willerslev, a young Danish anthropologist who ventures into this frozen land on an idealistic mission to organize a fair-trade fur cooperative with the hunters. From the outset, things go terribly wrong. The regional fur company, with ties to corrupt public officials, proves it will stop at nothing to maintain its monopoly: one of Willerslev’s Yukaghir business partners is arrested on spurious charges of poaching and illegal trading; another drowns mysteriously. When police are sent to arrest him, Willerslev fears for his life, and he and a local hunter flee to a remote hunting lodge even deeper in the icy wilderness. Their situation turns even more desperate right away: they manage to kill a moose but lose the meat to predators and begin to starve, frostbitten and isolated in the frozen taiga.
Thus begins Willerslev’s extraordinary, chilling tale of one year living in exile among Yukaghir hunters in the stark Siberian taiga region. At turns shocking and quietly moving, On the Run in Siberia is a pulse-pounding tale of idealism, political corruption, starvation, and survival (with a timely assist from Vladimir Putin) as well as a striking portrait of the Yukaghirs’ shamanistic tradition and their threatened way of life, a drama unfolding daily in one of the world’s coldest, most enthralling landscapes.

"Resumen
El mercado global farmacéutico ha provocado en la actualidad una actitud distinta frente a la enfermedad. Médicos, enfermeros y terapeutas alópatas son hoy “ofertantes”, mientras sus pacientes se han convertido en “usuarios”, consumidores de bienes y servicios para aliviar su sufrimiento. El tratamiento de la enfermedad mental en el medio hospitalario no escapa de esta lógica mercantil de la biomedicina. A través de un relato etnográfico y de las narrativas de algunos pacientes institucionalizados, el artículo aborda algunas expresiones íntimas de la experiencia de la locura en el marco del capitalismo biomédico en Bogotá, Colombia.
Abstract
The global pharmaceutical market has given rise to a new and different attitude toward illness. Allopathic doctors, nurses, and therapists are now called “providers”, while their patients have become “users”, that is, consumers of goods and services aimed at relieving their pain. The treatment of mental illnesses in the hospital milieu does not escape this commercial logic of biomedicine. Through an ethnographic narrative and the stories of several institutionalized patients, the article addresses some of the private expressions of madness in the context of biomedical capitalism in Bogotá, Colombia."

Gold miners in Northern Benin are exposed to physical risks as well as economic risks of uncertain yields. The interrelatedness of different types of risk, both in their perception and in the coping strategies, will be addressed in this paper. It also challenges theoretical perspectives on risk that assume coherent world-views and highlights processes of communication and group behaviour.

"Речь пойдет не о колхозно-совхозных скотомогильниках – этих варварских свалках гнилой плоти, а именно о специально оборудованных погребениях «домашних питомцев» – кошек, собак, птичек, хомяков, декоративных мышек и аквариумных рыбок. Или же – тех животных, которых всё же при некоторых обстоятельствах люди хотят похоронить пристойно – скажем так, по-человечески. И вообще – о самих способах захоронений в таких ситуациях. В наше время, в недавнем прошлом и в настоящем, причем преимущественно в городской среде.
Многие аспекты этой темы нуждаются в дальнейшем основательном изучении. Какова, например, история такого рода кладбищ, каковы типы надгробий и эпитафий, каковы особенности погребений, отличающие захоронения животных от могил людей и т. п.? Требуют уточнения предварительные выводы о своеобразной архаичности погребальных обычаев, о сочетании в них обряда и игры, о роли детей во всех этих действиях. Однако уже сейчас ясно, что такое изучение позволит кое-что прояснить в тех сферах мировосприятия современных людей, которые связаны с самыми сущностными человеческими характеристиками – с религиозностью, моралью, структурой мышления, обрядовостью."
