ABSTRACT The dredging of navigable waterways is a critical but often overlooked precondition for global trade. Focusing on the figure of “the dredger”—which can refer to a machine that excavates underwater sediment or a person who does that work—this short article links the modern maritime industry, colonial expansion, and terracentric anthropological thought. I argue that the figure of the dredger is useful for understanding the collective geological agency of humanity.

ABSTRACT When Ever Given, one of the world’s largest container ships, ran aground and blocked the Suez Canal for six days in March 2021, it dramatically brought to light the fragile dependency of global trade on maritime infrastructures. It also drew attention to ships as actors within this global system of mobility. In this article, I centre on the figure of the ship to reflect on maritime passages and blockages and the particular forms of sociality that emerge through them. Drawing on ethnography from onboard container ships, I explore how crews interact with various actors, such as authorities, pilots, boatmen and peddlers, who, at times facilitate, at times obstruct, ships’ passages. Through this ethnographic lens, I make visible the intersecting dynamics of mobility and immobility, flow and friction, and connection and isolation that permeate the Suez Canal and the contemporary maritime, and which shape the social worlds on and around ships.

ABSTRACT This paper was written in Norwegian in 1967 for the symposium, organized by Fredrik Barth, that led to the publication of Ethnic Groups and Boundaries in 1969. My paper was never submitted for publication, however, and the present text is a direct translation of the original manuscript. It explores ethnic processes in Uganda before independence, from the point of view of a group under domination, and strategies adopted by the ethnic Konzo minority vis a vis the Toro in the Bwamba area. In accordance with the doctrine of indirect rule, the British administration had given the Toro extensive freedoms to legally and politically control the entire Kingdom of Toro, including the minority Konzo and Amba groups. Early attempts among Konzo of assimilation into Toro society in order to access economic and political resources failed, largely due to Toro exclusiveness. I argue that this failure led to a further accentuation of ethnic boundaries. These processes precede the later rebellions against Toro rule, which flared up in Ruwenzori after independence. My paper brings attention to the ways in which political subordination shapes ethnic dynamics.
本文于1967年为弗雷德里克·巴特(Fredrik Barth)组织的研讨会用挪威语撰写，该研讨会导致1969年出版了《族群与边界》(Ethnic Groups and Boundaries)一书。然而，我的论文从未提交发表，现在的文本是原始手稿的直接翻译。它从一个受统治群体的角度探讨了乌干达独立前的种族进程，以及少数民族Konzo对布万巴地区托罗人采取的战略。根据间接统治的原则，英国政府给予托罗人广泛的自由，在法律和政治上控制整个托罗王国，包括少数民族近藏族和安巴族。近藏为了获得经济和政治资源而试图融入托罗社会的早期尝试失败了，很大程度上是由于托罗的排他性。我认为，这一失败导致了种族界限的进一步加剧。这些过程先于后来在鲁文佐里独立后爆发的反对托罗人统治的叛乱。我的论文引起了人们对政治从属关系如何塑造种族动态的关注。

ABSTRACT Axel Sommerfelt’s paper for the symposium organized by Fredrik Barth ahead of the publication of Ethnic Groups and Boundaries is given a broader readership in this issue. This biography provides some background to the perspectival differences between Axel Sommerfelt and Barth, that revolve around issues of political inequality, experience and historicity. Axel Sommerfelt shared Barth’s anti-essentialist view on ethnicity, but did not fully embrace the instrumentalist underpinnings of Barth’s perspective. He was theoretically influenced by the Manchester school, and directed attention to political domination from the point of view of the dominated, a focus that grew out of his ethnography from Ruwenzori in Uganda. Judicial institutions constituted an important arena for the negotiation of ethnic boundaries, and specifically, Toro-Konzo relations were partly shaped in judicial contexts that Toro controlled, under British protectorate supervision. His interest in resistance was also influenced by his upbringing in Norway during Nazi occupation.
阿克塞尔·萨默菲尔特在弗雷德里克·巴特(Fredrik Barth)组织的研讨会上发表的论文《族群与边界》(Ethnic Groups and Boundaries)在本期杂志上获得了更广泛的读者。这本传记为阿克塞尔·萨默费尔特和巴特之间的观点差异提供了一些背景，这些差异围绕着政治不平等、经验和历史性问题展开。阿克塞尔·萨默菲尔特认同巴特关于种族的反本质主义观点，但并没有完全接受巴特观点的工具主义基础。他在理论上受到曼彻斯特学派的影响，并从被统治者的角度关注政治统治，这一焦点源于他在乌干达鲁文佐里的民族志。司法机构构成了种族边界谈判的重要舞台，具体来说，托罗与近藏的关系部分是在托罗控制的司法背景下形成的，受到英国保护国的监督。他在纳粹占领时期的挪威长大，这也影响了他对抵抗运动的兴趣。

ABSTRACT The tomb of Sa'd ibn Abī Waqqās, a Companion of the Prophet Muhammad mythologized to have as having been buried in Canton, has attracted pilgrims from across China and beyond for the past three centuries. The repertoire on Abī Waqqās, an arriver from Mecca buried in Canton, is intriguing less for its factual veracity than the its manifold afterlives of the personage. This paper expands the scope of existing scholarship on Islam in China by directing attention to the previously unexamined textual corpus – stele inscriptions, imperial geographic surveys, mosque records, print periodicals, and recent unofficial historical surveys that date between from the fourteenth century and to the present. Transported between different mediums, Abī Waqqās as an ancestral figure has provided a powerful regenerative force for Chinese Muslims' historical consciousness that unfolds through a circular rather than linear time, and incorporates distant geographies without physical mobility. Moving beyond the textual realm, repetitions of the narrative materialized into a cemetery – a focal point that has mediated long-distance travels and donation networks; absorbed hybrid religious rituals ranging from ancestor worship grave rituals to dhikr practices; and capitalized on the Chinese state’s rhetoric of silk roads diplomacy. By unearthing rediscoveries of a symbolic figure through tides of time, the article shows how a supposedly unscientific myth narrativized conceptions of dual homes, here and elsewhere, and further established a regional Islamic hub, or a “little Mecca” in coastal China.

ABSTRACT One of the most cited anthropological books, Ethnic Groups and Boundaries: The Social Organization of Culture Difference (Barth, Fredrik, ed. 1969a. Ethnic Groups and Boundaries: The Social Organization of Culture Difference. Bergen: Universitetsforlaget) is an output of the symposium held in Bergen in 1967. Eleven participants took part in the symposium and eleven papers were discussed. The book, however, consists, apart from Barth's prodigious ‘Introduction’, of only seven chapters. Four papers remained unpublished. One of these unpublished contributions is ‘Inter-etniske relasjoner i Toro’ (‘Interethnic relations in Toro’) by Axel Sommerfelt. In 2019, the year of 50th anniversary of publishing Ethnic Groups and Boundaries, Sommerfelt's manuscript was disinterred from oblivion. The text presents an outline of a background of Sommerfelt's research in Western Uganda from 1958 to 1960, on which it is based, and a discussion of its terminological and conceptual point of view, with a special attention to key shift from ‘tribe’ to ‘ethnic group’. In the last part, a kind of counterfactual Ethnic Groups and Boundaries are presented, i.e. what Ethnic Groups and Boundaries might have looked like if Axel Sommerfelt's chapter had been included in the original book.
