Vähän noloa omien jutskien mainostamista, mutta oli kunnia olla Antropodin haastateltavana Papua-Uusi-Guinean ympäristökysymyksiä käsittelevän kirjani tiimoilta. Erityiskiitos Antropodin erittäin skarpille haastattelijalle.
Jakson voi kuunnella täällä:
https://antroblogi.fi/2025/02/antropodi-kovaa-tyota-papua-uusi-guineassa-vieraana-tuomas-tammisto/
Keskustelua Papua-Uusi-Guinean mengenien maataloudesta ja suhteesta ympäristöön, luonnonvartaloudesta ja kapitalismista sekä eri arvontuotannon tavoista. Lopussa vielä ränttään vähän avoimesta saatavuudesta.

Many thanks for pointing this out! We're still learning how to operate here, but we'll make sure to check the language settings in the future 🙂
Hi everybody! We've been inactive for a while, so it's maybe time for a reintroduction. HUP is a fully #openaccess university press. We publish high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarly literature, particularly in the #humanities and #socialsciences. All our publications are freely available on our website at: https://hup.fi/site/
We are looking forward to learning more about the #Fediverse!
Hei! Me tosiaan pidimme pientä taukoa Mastodonista, ja olemme olleet viime aikoina aktiivisimmin läsnä Blueskyssa. Olemme nyt luopumassa X-tilistämme, ja halusimme siksikin aktivoitua täällä uudestaan. Kiva nähdä, että Mastodon kasvaa ja voi hyvin!
Dearest Fediverse (and apologies for the absence),
my book "Hard Work: Producing places, relations and value on a Papua New Guinea resource frontier" was just recently published in full digital open access. (Print-on-demand and oa epub out soon!)
https://hup.fi/site/books/m/10.33134/HUP-29/
"Hard Work explores the complexities of natural resource extraction, looking at both large-scale processes and personal human-environment interactions. It combines a political ecology focus on the connection between environmental issues and power relations with a focus on how value is produced, represented, and materialized."
