We are pleased to announce that the latest issue of Focaal – Journal of Global and Historical Anthropology has recently published and is available online at its new home, www.berghahnjournals.com/focaal.
This issue’s theme section, titled “In/visible—In/secure” and guest edited by Ieva Jusionyte and Daniel M. Goldstein, illustrates the multiple and shifting intersections of in/visibility and in/security in today’s security-minded world and also reminds us of the unique contributions that anthropology can make to the critical study of security. The editors’ introduction is available to all readers for free.
Focaal 75 also includes a regular articles section, which features a freely available Open Access article by Judith Bovensiepen, and a forum piece by Katharina Bodirsky on politically organizing subjection in the contexts of current EU-Europe and Turkey. As always, forums are freely available to all readers.
