The cover of 'Remote and Roaming' by Mari Toivanen, shown alongside a quote from the book’s introduction chapter (page 13). The quote reads: “In this book, digital nomadism is not defined as an isolated phenomenon or merely a personal endeavour, but rather as a form of lifestyle mobility deeply embedded in broader societal, economic, and technological transformations.”
Mari Toivanen's 'Remote and Roaming' (2025) explores the practices, meanings, and politics of #digitalnomadism through extensive #ethnographic fieldwork.

Chihongo represents a male spirit and refers to wealth and power. This mask would have only have been worn by a high-ranking member of society or his sons during festivities, especially during the proceedings of the mukanda, or male initiation Rites.

It has always seemed odd to me that Milroy (1980) is treated as the beginning of the second wave of #sociolinguistics when everything Milroy did was also done by Gal (1979) only better and with much more #ethnographic work. It seems like it's just because Milroy was more centered on […]

Ultra-close frontal portrait of a ceremonial figure in an ornate hooded headdress. Captured with a 105mm macro lens at f/5.6, isolating every pore, freckle, and metallic reflection. The face, freckled and sun-warmed, is framed by braids and fabric embroidered with silver, copper, and beadwork. Dangling metal ornaments hang across the brow, catching highlights and glowing like molten threads. The muted earth tones of cloth are punctuated by shimmering metallics, creating a balance of matte texture and reflective brilliance. Shallow depth of field renders the face hyperreal and tactile, with background softened to a painterly blur.

Henry Buehman was a Free Hanseatic City of Bremen-born American photographer and politician. After completing his apprenticeship, Buehman traveled to the American West, where he worked and traveled before settling in Tucson, Arizona Territory. There he purchased a portrait studio and operated a financially successful photography business. Periodic trips through the surrounding areas allowed Buehman to compile a large portfolio of scenic and Native American images in addition to his portrait work. His accomplishments as a photographer led to opportunities in other fields and Buehman eventually became the mayor of Tucson from 1895 till 1899. The Tohono O'odham Nation, also known as "People of the Desert," is a federally recognized tribe of Native Americans primarily located in southern Arizona and northern Sonora, Mexico. They are known for their deep connection to the Sonoran Desert, their agricultural practices, and their cultural traditions. The Tohono O'odham are descendants of the Hohokam, an ancient civilization that thrived in the Sonoran Desert. They have a rich history of farming, agriculture, and adapting to the desert environment. The Tohono O'odham Nation's reservation is the second-largest in Arizona, encompassing over 2.8 million acres and spanning multiple districts. The Tohono O'odham speak a Uto-Aztecan language, a dialectal variant of Piman, which is also spoken by other O'odham groups. The Tohono O'odham maintain various traditional practices, including agriculture, basket weaving, and storytelling. They also have a strong connection to their land and its resources.

Deformity in tribal art The Pende Mbangu "sickness" masks illustrate, by their deformed features, the patient in epileptic seizure or the result of facial paralysis caused by witchcraft rituals. In many tribal cultures, however, epilepsy is seen as a divine seal on an individual who is able to communicate with the spiritual world in this way. The Western Pende live on the banks of the Kwilu, while the Eastern Pende have settled on the banks of the Kasai downstream from Tshikapa. The influences of the neighboring ethnic groups, Mbla, Suku, Wongo, Leele, Kuba and Salempasu have been imprinted on their extensive tribal art sculpture.

The Mangbetu culture, known for its art and political institutions, is also characterized by head elongation, achieved through a traditional practice called Lipombo. This practice, where babies' heads are wrapped to create an elongated shape, is seen as a sign of beauty and future power. The Mangbetu also have a rich tradition of pottery, carving, and musical instruments.
