When spirits guard forests, conservation becomes revolution - and liberation grows from the soilIn 2011 Myanmar emerged from what was by some counts the longest ongoing war in the world. Amid the flurry of ceasefires and constitutional reforms, Indigenous communities moved to reterritorialize land that was fiercely contested in the preceding decades of conflict. In southeast Myanmar, the Indigenous people of Karen State, activists, and revolutionaries transformed their war-torn land into the Salween Peace Park - a conservation area that is home not only to endangered species like tigers and gibbons but also to territorial spirits and ancestors.Set in the highlands of the Myanmar-Thai border, Possessed Landscapes introduces a world where land is understood as both spiritually inhabited and politically claimed. Pwakanyaw cosmologies blur boundaries between human and more-than-human ownership, presence, and possession. Anthropologist Tomas Cole's concept of more-than-human political ecology captures the nuanced, playful, and often deeply strategic ways in which local communities negotiate power, land, and identity amid civil war and state violence. Through vibrant ethnography and grounded political analysis, Cole illuminates how Indigenous Karen communities and their allies are defining conservation, autonomy, and peace building on their own terms.A case study in reimagining sovereignty through ecological stewardship, Possessed Landscapes is essential reading for scholars and practitioners in anthropology, environmental humanities, and peace and conflict studies, as well as anyone seeking to understand how revolutionary politics and conservation can be inseparably entwined.

"Dans tout le Pays Basque, chaque année au coeur de l’hiver, alors que beaucoup les croyaient sur le déclin, de très nombreuses traditions reprennent force et vigueur, avec une intensité remarquable.

Thierry Truffaut antropologoak eta Patxi Beltzaiz argazkilariak, udaberriaren atarian, urte zaharraren eta berriaren arteko igarobidean, iniziazio bidaia batera eramaten gaituzte. Ohitura, jai eta inauteri giroko praktika hauen kodeak aztertzen dituzte, non tradizioak eta sormenak bat egiten duten. Hainbat urteko ikerketa eta behaketaren ondorioz egindako transmisio lanak euskal nortasuna hobeto ulertzen laguntzen gaitu, Europako jatorri sakonak ukatu gabe. Komunitate baten kohesiorako ezinbesteko diren tradizio ziklikoek, sinbolikoki, Ilunpetik Argira igarotzeko bidea erakusten digute, etorkizunari ateak irekitzeko.
