Fakes, forgery, counterfeits, hoaxes, bullshit, frauds, knock offs-such terms speak, ostensibly, to the inverse of truth or the obverse of authenticity and sincerity. But what does the modern human obsession with fabrications and frauds tell us about ourselves? And what can anthropology tell us about this obsession? This timely book is the product of the first Annual Debate of Anthropological Keywords, a collaborative project between HAU, the American Ethnological Society, and L'Homme, held each year at the American Anthropological Association Meetings. The aim of the debate is reflect critically on keywords and terms that play a pivotal and timely role in discussions of different cultures and societies, and of the relations between them. This book, with multiple authors, explodes open our common sense notions of "novelty," "originality," and "truth," questioning how cultures where deception and mistrust flourish seem to produce effective, albeit opaque, forms of sociality.

Revolution Beyond the Event brings togetherleading international anthropologists alongside emerging scholarsto examine revolutionary legacies from the MENA region, LatinAmerica and the Caribbean. It explores the idea that revolutionshave varied afterlives that complicate the assumptions about theirduration, pace and progression, and argues that a renewed focus onthe temporality of radical politics is essential to ourunderstanding of revolution. Approaching revolution through itsrelationship to time, the book is a critical intervention intoattempts to define revolutions as bounded events that act assequential transitions from one political system to another. Itpursues an ethnographically driven rethinking of the temporalhorizons that are at stake in revolutionary processes, arguing thatlinear views of revolution are inextricably tied to notions ofprogress and modernity. Through a careful selection of casestudies, the book provides a critical perspective on the livedrealities of revolutionary afterlives, challenging the liberalhumanist assumptions implicit in the 'modern' idea of revolution,and reappraising the political agency of people caught up inrevolutionary situations across a variety of ethnographic contexts.

Conventional economic thought sees the economy as the sum of market transactions carried out by rational individuals deciding how to allocate their resources among the various things on offer that would satisfy their desires. Economic anthropologists see things differently. For them, the focus is the activities, relationships and systems through which objects are produced, circulate among people and ultimately are consumed, which take different forms in different societies and even in different parts of the same society. In this way, economic anthropology takes the rational market actors of conventional economic thought and places them in the world of people, relationships, systems, beliefs and values that begins with production and ends with consumption. This accessible and authoritative introduction to the field of economic anthropology offers students a fresh and fascinating way of looking at the economic world.

Det er stort endringstrykk i offentleg sektor. Denne antologien drøftar endringar i sektoren, basert på erfaringar, både prinsipielt og frå konkrete studiar. Stikkorda er innovasjon, utviklingsarbeid og læring. Første del av antologien handlar om innovasjon. To av kapitla ser primært på bruken av omgrepet, først i lys av økonomisk historie, deretter i eit litteraturvitskapleg og filosofisk perspektiv. I kapitla som følgjer, blir innovasjon drøfta med utgangspunkt i empiri frå studiar av etablering av tildelingskontor, kommunal organisering og strategiar for språkleg velferd, og dessutan i lys av omgrepet innovasjonsinvasjon. Andre del av antologien tek føre seg ulike former for utviklingsarbeid, der ein ser nærare på institusjonar som Statens helsetilsyn, på samordning av bustadsosialt arbeid i kommunane og korleis utdanningsinstitusjonar kan arbeide for å motivere studentar til å delta i studentutveksling. Siste del av antologien har læring som overordna tema. Her blir ulike delar av utdanningssystemet sett under lupa. Tema som skulebasert vidareutdanning i klasseleiing for lærarar, erfaringar med aktivtetar som skaper læring og trivsel blant studentar, bruk av praksisbasert metode i entreprenørskapskurs og korleis nye kvalifiseringsvegar i barnehagelærarutdanninga har endra studentgruppene, er døme på korleis ulike sider ved utdanningssystemet er i endring. Offentlig sektor i endring er saman med antologien Innovasjon og entreprenørskap eit resultat av Fjordkonferansen 2015.
