\n\t This article builds on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in 2022-2024 with families from DR Congo, who have been resettled in Denmark since 2021 through the UNHCR-program. It draws on Sara Ahmed’s concept of “orientation” – including disorientation and reorientation – to develop a new approach to conceptualizing and understanding newly arrived refugees’ experiences with their new surroundings. In contrast to the deeply problematic concept of <italic>integration</italic>, we argue that the concept of orientation can illuminate power asymmetries and direct attention to how resettlement involves losing a sense of control with one’s body, physical environment, time and space – but also how a new sense of direction and familiarity is gradually reestablished through families’ own work of inhabitance. The concept of orientation thus paves the way for reorienting our analytical gaze towards the embodied, experiential, and messy dimensions of resettlement processes.\n\t</sec>","openUrl":"FALSE","openUrlLogo":"","pdfUrl":"TRUE","categories":["Original research paper"],"doi":"10.1177/14661381261436555","subTitle":""},{"articleId":"33951DE150AE41D7A6A3DB1052A4775C","articleType":"Research article","oa":"oa","title":"Animating the past,enduring the present: Labour and heritage production at Waterloo,Belgium","pubDate":"2026","pageInfo":"","authors":[{"aff":[],"name":"Bowen Chai","corresp":true,"orcid":"https://orcid.org/0009-0004-8024-0705","email":"B.chai@sms.ed.ac.uk","ordinal":1}],"summary":"$25","openUrl":"FALSE","openUrlLogo":"","pdfUrl":"TRUE","categories":["Original research papers"],"doi":"10.1177/14661381261428878","subTitle":""},{"articleId":"B76920DFDD38442A8D246082E325C2CF","articleType":"Research article","oa":"oa","title":"Livestreaming “being there”: A reflective study of remote ethnographic observation under campus lockdown","pubDate":"2026","pageInfo":"","authors":[{"aff":[],"name":"Chenyu Ni","corresp":true,"orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0114-018X","email":"chenyu.ni@auckland.ac.nz","ordinal":1}],"summary":"$26","openUrl":"FALSE","openUrlLogo":"","pdfUrl":"TRUE","categories":["Ethnography’s kitchen"],"doi":"10.1177/14661381261419172","subTitle":""},{"articleId":"76C45CC7247F436BAA0A35CA7E22696F","articleType":"Research article","oa":"unsub","title":"Maintaining balance in isolation: Work,values and moral debt in a French Antarctic expedition","pubDate":"2026","pageInfo":"","authors":[{"aff":[],"name":"Susie Pottier","corresp":true,"orcid":"https://orcid.org/0009-0007-9656-4714","email":"susie.pottier@ens.psl.eu","ordinal":1}],"summary":"This article examines the social dynamics of Antarctic expeditions from the perspective of balance and moral debt. Based on 15 months of participant observation during the Dumont d’Urville’s TA70 expedition, it shows how cohesion and reciprocity are essential for adaptation in conditions of extreme isolation.

Images of ecological collapse, starvation, and genocide spill into my phone screen, often causing despair. Yet amid a blanket of destruction, despair, and apathy that fill my social media, I am also aware that people sustain life by caring for one another and initiating repairs of our fractured world. This essay reflects on such practices of care, repair, and world-making by turning to my field site in McLeod Ganj, northern India, where I conduct ethnographic research on multispecies relations. Through attention to local animal caregivers’ everyday efforts of feeding, tending, and living with street animals, I argue that they rearticulate our understanding of ourselves, the nonhuman world, and our inevitable entanglements. Written during a time when it became increasingly difficult to separate my fieldwork from global violence and destruction unfolding elsewhere, this essay is an effort to think about and practice care and hope in an interdependent world.

It offers insights into how humans maintain cooperation under duress, providing comparative perspectives that can inform resilience strategies in other extreme contexts.","openUrl":"FALSE","openUrlLogo":"","pdfUrl":"FALSE","categories":["Original research papers"],"doi":"10.1177/14661381261431985","subTitle":""},{"articleId":"BC4C68ABE5864184B6DFB996BEA0DBB1","articleType":"Research article","oa":"unsub","title":"Methodological considerations for the study of uncomfortable otherness: Challenges and strategies","pubDate":"2026","pageInfo":"","authors":[{"aff":["1 Investigadora del Instituto de Investigaciones Sociales de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México,Mexico"],"name":"María Bargo","corresp":true,"orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9485-4282","email":"mbargo@sociales.unam.mx","ordinal":1}],"summary":"$27","openUrl":"FALSE","openUrlLogo":"","pdfUrl":"FALSE","categories":["Ethnography’s Kitchen"],"doi":"10.1177/14661381261451208","subTitle":""},{"articleId":"421AC70745A3459E81E5298597AB2C5E","articleType":"Research article","oa":"unsub","title":"Geological sores: minerals,toxicities,and rumors in DR Congo","pubDate":"2026","pageInfo":"","authors":[{"aff":["1 TransVIHMI (Université Montpellier,TransVIHMI IRD,INSERM),Montpellier,France"],"name":"Simon Marijsse","corresp":true,"orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3601-8996","email":"simon.marijsse@ird.fr","ordinal":1}],"summary":"With a growing scholarship on post-industrialism, an ethnographic view about industrial mining industry in DR Congo remains largely absent. This article takes the immediate surroundings of an industrial mine, with its blast rhythm and chemical reagents that spill over from its boundaries, as an object of ethnographic attention. It investigates how exuding fumes create an everyday shaped by nervousness and shaping rumors. Drawing from the asymmetries of knowing that arise when living in toxic worlds, this article thinks with extractive landscapes through the notion of a sore. From this vantage point, rumors and accusations not only contextualize extraction, but keep geological sores open by refusing them from being sealed. This article tracks colonial attempts to ridden itself from sores to the cumulative deepening of extractive processes into postcolonial times in which hyper-industries and chemical proliferations are met with suspicions.","openUrl":"FALSE","openUrlLogo":"","pdfUrl":"FALSE","categories":["Original research papers"],"doi":"10.1177/14661381261462756","subTitle":""},{"articleId":"6FC51ACA46EC4CA4BE6CAC32F3C7BC35","articleType":"Research article","oa":"unsub","title":"Ethnosexual boundaries in the fergana valley: An ethnographic account of interethnic marriages in post-soviet central Asia","pubDate":"2026","pageInfo":"","authors":[{"aff":["1 Department of History of Uzbekistan,Fergana State University,Fergana,Uzbekistan"],"name":"Bekmirzayev Rakhmanali","corresp":true,"orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3414-3774","email":"r.bekmirzayev@fdu.uz","ordinal":1}],"summary":"$28","openUrl":"FALSE","openUrlLogo":"","pdfUrl":"FALSE","categories":["Original research papers"],"doi":"10.1177/14661381261463262","subTitle":""},{"articleId":"14E9FDEBF62C4042888D2EC785A0D8CF","articleType":"Research article","oa":"unsub","title":"Fieldwork encounters: Navigation of relationships and the conundrums of ethnographic knowledge production","pubDate":"2026","pageInfo":"","authors":[{"aff":["1 Institute of Asian Studies,Universiti Brunei Darussalam,Gadong,Brunei Darussalam"],"name":"Sanjeev Routray","corresp":true,"orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0669-6008","email":"sanjeevkroutray@gmail.com","ordinal":1}],"summary":"$29","openUrl":"FALSE","openUrlLogo":"","pdfUrl":"FALSE","categories":["Ethnography’s kitchen"],"doi":"10.1177/14661381261443170","subTitle":""},{"articleId":"820FEE9770254C8381C8E248B79E12EA","articleType":"Research article","oa":"unsub","title":"Entangled positionality: Relational ethnography and interconnected small worlds in sports coaching research","pubDate":"2026","pageInfo":"","authors":[{"aff":["1 Department of Sport,6629 Plymouth Marjon University,Plymouth,UK"],"name":"Ryan Thomas","corresp":true,"orcid":"https://orcid.org/0009-0009-3442-1085","email":"rthomas@marjon.ac.uk","ordinal":1},{"aff":["2 Independent"],"name":"Edward T.

As I show, their tactical efforts to legitimize their work entail rendering their citizenship contributions legible. For example, the hip-hop organization KAI pursued access to a state-aligned television station to present hip-hop as a resource for Indigenous youth belonging. I also examine breakdancers’ efforts to protect their dance in city law by framing it as an attractive outlet for “at-risk” youth. Throughout this article, I center artists’ active quest for stability amidst uncertainty. I argue that they creatively draw on the mandates and stated values of institutions to advance outwardly mutual interests, albeit to varying effect.","openUrl":"FALSE","openUrlLogo":"","pdfUrl":"FALSE","categories":["Original Research
