| Sites 14(2), published in December 2017, opens with the winning essay by Claire Black, winner of the Sites Graduate Student Essay Competition. This is followed by a dialogue on the theory and politics of cosmopolitanism between Nigel Rapport and Brigitte Lewis. This issue also features two other articles that attend to health technologies in the form of patient portals and health apps. Other contributors examine various aspects of identity politics – the perspectives of New Zealand expatriates living in London, and the film representation of a violent episode in New Caledonia’s history. Collective memory work is explored as a methodology with potential for anthropological research, and this issue also offers an examination of the various discourses of toilet training, death notices, and mountain biking. Several book reviews complete the issue. |

New issue available: Sites 14(1) Special Issue now available |
|
| This Special Issue of Sites, ‘Carceral Continuities: Indigenous Peoples and the Colonial Politics of Prisons’, emerges from contributions to the 2016 conference Space, Race, Bodies II: Sovereignty and Migration in a Carceral Age, which combined activist and academic insights to address the nexus between Indigenous sovereignty, criminal justice, and the incarceration of peoples of colour. This collection of essays variously explores these themes within the Australian, Canadian and Aotearoa New Zealand contexts, by focusing on the violent management and regulation of Indigenous life by the settler colonial state. What our contributors reveal is an on-going, multipronged assault on Indigenous sovereignty: whether in public spaces, prisons, or rural Indigenous communities, the supremacy of the state violently reinscribes itself at the expense of Indigenous existence. |
