While the written terms of the Columbia River Treaty appear to justify the often-heard claim that it is all about hydropower and flood control, a full account of its history reveals its critical importance to US agriculture and close relationship to early phases of colonization and development in the Upper Columbia River Basin. In this paper I argue that the Treaty is best understood as the third phase in the last large-scale government-sponsored settler colonialism project in North America, a project that began with the construction of the Grand Coulee Dam in the 1930s. I further argue that the dominant narrative that informs current efforts by Canada and the US to revise the treaty does not fully recognize the settler colonial structure of the original treaty or its critical impact on both Indigenous and settler food systems throughout the basin. I begin with a description of the history of the treaty, in order to demonstrate its continuity with earlier phases of settler colonialism, then focus on its impact on food systems. I conclude with an assessment of the ongoing Canada/US treaty review and renegotiation process that began in 2011 with suggestions for how the process could be brought into better alignment with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada.

Nous visons, par ce texte, une meilleure compréhension de la mise en mots des expériences subjectives, éthiques et esthétiques de femmes soufies installées à Montréal, tout en identifiant les interactions dynamiques entre des concepts clés qu’elles mettent de l’avant. Ces concepts semblent former une constellation conceptuelle qui constitue pour ces femmes une grille d’interprétation du monde et un guide d’action dans et sur ce monde. Une telle herméneutique-action, qui fusionne conceptualisation et expérientiel dans la quotidienneté, participerait-elle à la fois à la construction de soi et d’un vivre- ensemble où la différence et l’altérité relèveraient de la théophanie et de la sacralité ? Telle est la question centrale que nous posons ici. Nous nous basons essentiellement sur des données qualitatives. L’analyse de ces données laissent entrevoir que les impardonnables atrocités, perpétrées dans le monde au nom de l’islam par une petite minorité radicale violente, organisée en milices assassines et rétives à toute forme d’altérité, ne devraient pas occulter l’existence d’un islam du vivre-ensemble où l’Autre serait sujet d’ennoblissement.

Informed by eighteen months of ethnographic fieldwork in Montmartre, one of the last village-like neighbourhoods in Paris, in this paper, I analyze how people in this community talked through and acted out the COVID-19 pandemic. Using theoretical frameworks from linguistic, cognitive and medical anthropology, I examine “small stories” (Georgakopoulou 2007) about COVID-19, in particular, the analogical and conceptual aspects of this talk. How do people construct understandings of crisis as it evolves? What does this process look like when talk becomes action and reaction and what does it say about the future? This paper explores how people employed analogy, cultural scripts and other linguistic wor(l)d-building tools in their talk about their experiences and comprehensions of COVID-19. Following the arguments of Ochs (2012), I propose that talking about COVID-19 is itself an experience of the virus, an experience that informs people’s understandings of their present circumstances and future possibilities.

Many countries have reported supply shortages of antibiotics in recent years. The COVID-19 pandemic has sparked interesting discussions among government officials, public health practitioners, and scholars on how to maintain the security of the global pharmaceutical supply chain and how to decrease dependency on countries such as China. This article discusses the experiences and initial findings of tracing global pharmaceutical supply chains through pharmaceutical trade fairs and events at multiple locations. I argue that the reasons behind antibiotic supply shortages are multifold. Although the geographical concentration of the production of key raw materials and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) in China is considered the main reason for the unstable and disrupted supply chain, it is also important to recognize that the same forces that have driven Western pharmaceutical companies to shift some of their less profitable manufacturing lines to China are also challenging Chinese pharmaceutical companies to adjust and reorient their strategies. As such, antibiotics are facing a conundrum in which the governance of excessive use is complicated by a shortage problem that hampers access to essential drugs.

The COVID-19 Pandemic issued a cascading crisis in the transport sector and has signified a wholesale reconfiguration of global supply chains. In studying supply chains, anthropological scholarship has tended to focus on tracking particular commodities as they move from producer to consumer. The central sites of circulation that enable this very movement of goods, however, remain understudied. Container ports in particular are key nodes where the thread of global supply chains gathers. A comparative ethnographic analysis of container ports is put forward in order to ground supply chains and logistics in particular socio-cultural histories, material infrastructures, political ecologies, and the politics of labour. We move from Singapore to Hamburg, through Algeciras up to Rotterdam and back down to Pireaus in order to show potential pathways to study the complex web of interconnections we refer to as the global supply chain, with a specific focus on labour and chokepoints in relation to multi-sited and scaled disruptions.

Si les Népalo-bhoutanais convertis au christianisme auprès de qui j’ai mené mes recherches doctorales dans la région de Saint-Jérôme, au Québec, n’ont pas recours au terme « spiritualité », il est néanmoins possible d’observer le « travail des frontières morales permettant de créer des statuts comparatifs sur la base de qualités jugées vertueuses» (Ammerman 2013, 275) dans les discours entourant leur conversion. Ce travail s’observe au cœur des interactions dans les camps de réfugiés où ils ont séjourné au Népal, ainsi qu’au Québec. La conversion au christianisme s’accompagne d’une série de discours, de la part des hindous, des chrétiens et des agents ayant facilité la relocalisation des réfugiés au Québec. Bien que ces discours semblent suivre généralement les contours des catégories définies par Ammerman dans son étude de la spiritualité, des nuances doivent être apportées quant aux discours éthiques qui s’élaborent autour de la conversion et de l’appartenance à un groupe de convertis.
