Life Histories of Etnos Theory in Russia and Beyond
The idea of etnos came into being over a hundred years ago as a way of understanding the collective identities of people with a common language and shared traditions. In the twentieth century, the concept came to be associated with Soviet state-building, and it fell sharply out of favour. Yet outside the academy, etnos-style arguments not only persist, but are a vibrant part of regional anthrop…

In one sense, such enhancement could be seen as “nothing new at all” (Wiseman, 2016, 4) or as something philosophically mundane: as G. Owen Schaefer (2015) has state…

Life After Lines : Tim Ingold across the humanities
“What do walking, weaving, observing, singing, storytelling, drawing and writing have in common? The answer is that they all proceed along lines of one kind or another.” This is the first Q&A in Tim Ingold’s seminal Lines. A brief history (2007). In The Life of Lines, the sequel from 2015, he opposes lines and blobs and proceeds: “Life began when lines began to emerge and to escape the …

The legitimacy of modern democracy : a study on the political thought of Max …
By re-examining the political thought of Max Weber, Carl Schmitt and Hans Kelsen, this book offers a reflection on the nature of modern democracy and the question of its legitimacy. Pedro T. Magalhães shows that present-day elitist, populist and pluralist accounts of democracy owe, in diverse and often complicated ways, an intellectual debt to the interwar era, German-speaking, scholarly and p…
