ABSTRACT An emphasis on flow and endless accumulation has been central to the understandings of contemporary maritime capitalism. This form of accumulation has been enabled by structures of violence and exploitation wrought through desires of ever-bigger and ever-faster within the world of global shipping. But flow is only part of this story, mobility at sea is always interrupted, sticky and delayed. Maritime journeys are constituted by chokepoints, drift, and stuckness and are moments of anxiety and peril for a variety of actors from seafarers to policy makers whose projects seek to overcome these blockages in order to make possible more efficient and more profitable forms of circulation. For others, interruptions point to possibility. Here, I emphasize that for ‘maritime figures’ like insurance brokers, and seafarers, interruptions are part of everyday life at sea: a life constituted through an admixture of peril and possibility.

ABSTRACT When the Ever Given became stuck in the Suez Canal, the megaship was carrying 18,300 rectangular, steel boxes on her back. In the weeks and months after the incident, the concealed contents of the shipping containers – stuck in legal limbo – captured global attention. Technologically developed in the years after the Second World War, the standardized shipping container has featured as one of the protagonists of the transformations in international trade. But the container’s logic of concealment and transaction has made ‘the box’ a common figure also in popular culture and social theory. This essay interrogates the shipping container’s multiple repertoires by focussing on containers at work. By tracing how the shipping container moves through the port infrastructure this essay takes us from the Suez Canal towards another central maritime passageway: the Strait of Gibraltar. This essay reflects on the different scales at which the shipping container functions in the port: from heavy materiality to abstracted codes and units of measurement.

ABSTRACT This paper analyses the way in which Sindhi traders – one of the largest Indian diasporic populations in Asia – have managed to live and work in China as de facto migrants despite their inability to be granted settled immigration status by the Chinese state. Drawing on long-term fieldwork that started in 2010, the paper offers a China-centric ethnographic perspective on how Indian traders, particularly Sindhis in the Chinese county of Keqiao, have been dealing with the incongruence between immigration policies that largely preclude the possibility of their permanent residency and their long-term entrepreneurial engagement in China. I argue that this incongruence, despite the tensions and uncertainties it continues to generate, has in fact become a crucial factor in stabilizing the diasporic convergence upon Keqiao by Sindhi traders. The eventual consequence is what I call ‘indifferent survival’: that is, the Sindhi traders, a group of non-white foreigners, are managing to stay together and even expand the size of their diasporic community in China despite their vast internal differences in class, local knowledge, and wealth.

On a normal day, an average of 50 + ships pass through the Suez Canal. The journey through this connecting point between Asia and Europe usually takes a vessel between 12and 16 h. The 23rd of March 2021, however, would prove to be a day out of the ordinary: the passage of the Ever Given, an ultra-large container ship, came to a halt when strong winds steered the vessel sideways, lodging it into the sandy banks of the narrowwaterway. Operated by a Taiwanese shipping company, sailing under the Panama flag, and on its way from China to Rotterdam in the Netherlands, the Ever Given was amongst the worst contenders for an accident of this kind: with a holding capacity of up to 20,000 twenty foot freight containers (TEUs), it ranks among the world’s largest container vessels. Indeed, despite the massive efforts made by the Canal Authority, the Ever Given would not move; with the queue of waiting ships growing to more than 300 by the time the salvage operation finally succeeded after six long days. In the meantime, the unexpected canal obstruction caused an estimated loss of 400 million US Dollars per hour to the world economy (Vlamis 2021). During the days of the frantic mission to release the ship from the Canal’s banks, the vessel had not only brought maritime traffic between Asia and Europe to a temporary halt. It also sparked unprecedented public interest in contemporary maritime transportation and the global histories behind it. In an effort to steer these conversations into anthropological terrain, we put forward a collection of short essays that focuses onmaritime passages, their interruptions, and on the multifaceted figures that accompany them. The passage, in its most dominant meaning, refers to a path, movement, or channel, which is often, but not always, of the oceanic kind, as the reflections ofWalter Benjamin on the concrete, and land-based urban Passagen (that is arcades) also attest to (Benjamin 2002). Secondly, in figurative speech, ‘the passage of time’ refers to the unstoppable elapsing of minutes, days, and years, which are pictured as gradually flowing away from us. This temporal dimension of ‘passage’ is equally as relevant to our argument around the Suez Canal’s temporary closure. And finally, a passage can refer to a brief composition, both of a written and musical nature – a condensed genre which we also aspire towards in the short interventions presented. The Canal’s obstruction, and the global public attention it received, represents an extraordinary accident-turned-spectacle. While most maritime accidents occur outside
正常情况下，每天平均有50多艘船只通过苏伊士运河。通过亚洲和欧洲之间的连接点的旅程通常需要12到16个小时。然而，2021年3月23日将被证明是不同寻常的一天:一艘超大型集装箱船Ever Given在强风吹向一侧时停了下来，使其陷入狭窄水道的沙洲。“Ever Given”号由一家台湾航运公司运营，挂着巴拿马国旗，从中国大陆驶往荷兰鹿特丹，是此类事故中最严重的竞争者之一:它的载货能力高达20,000个20英尺的集装箱(teu)，是世界上最大的集装箱船之一。事实上，尽管运河管理局做出了巨大的努力，但“永远给予”就是不动;在漫长的六天之后，打捞行动终于取得了成功，等待救援的船只已经超过300艘。与此同时，意外的运河阻塞给世界经济造成了估计每小时4亿美元的损失(Vlamis 2021)。在将这艘船从运河岸边释放的疯狂任务中，这艘船不仅使亚洲和欧洲之间的海上交通暂时停止。它还激发了公众对当代海上运输及其背后的全球历史的空前兴趣。为了将这些对话引导到人类学的领域，我们提出了一个短篇文集，重点关注海洋通道，它们的中断，以及伴随它们的多面人物。通道，在其最主要的意义上，指的是一条路径、运动或通道，这通常是，但并不总是，海洋的那种，正如沃尔特·本雅明对混凝土的反思，以及基于陆地的城市通道(即拱廊)也证明了这一点(本杰明2002)。其次，在比喻中，“the passage of time”指的是不可阻挡的分、日、年的流逝，它们被描绘成逐渐从我们身边流逝。“通过”的时间维度与我们关于苏伊士运河暂时关闭的争论同样相关。最后，一个段落可以指一个简短的作品，包括书面和音乐性质-一种浓缩的体裁，我们也希望在简短的干预中提出。运河的阻塞，以及它所受到的全球公众关注，代表了一个由事故转变成的非凡奇观。而大多数海上事故发生在室外
