This anthology offers a fresh look at the theme of forced mobility
and displacement. By situating displacement and creating a dialogue
with disciplines and analytical perspectives from other academic
fields, we broaden the scope of thinking about displacement with
different chapters taking well-established ideas from migration,
mobility, and refugee research into the conversation. By situating
displacement in new ways and from alternate angles, the anthology
opens up new reflections, relevant across several disciplinary
fields.
Communal Intimacy and the Violence of Politics explores the
notoriously brutal Philippine war on drugs from below. Steffen Bo
Jensen and Karl Hapal examine how the war on drugs folded itself
into communal and intimate spheres in one Manila neighborhood,
Bagong Silang. Police killings have been regular occurrences since
the birth of Bagong Silang. Communal Intimacy and the Violence of
Politics shows that although the drug war was introduced from the
outside, it fit into and perpetuated already existing gendered and
generational structures. In Bagong Silang, the war on drugs
implicated local structures of authority, including a justice
system that had always been deeply integrated into communal
relations. The ways in which the war on drugs transformed these
intimate relations between the state and its citizens, and between
neighbors, may turn out to be the most lasting impact of Duterte's
infamously violent policies.

Two hundred years of antiquarian and archaeological interest has
generated an archive of some 1350 Viking Age amulets. These objects
are manufactured from a variety of materials, most often metals,
and were often, but not always, worn as pendants. However, all are
miniatures, objects shaped like something else tools, weapons,
animals, people, or more abstract religious symbols, including
hammers and crosses. This study examines the various types,
materials and contexts of the amulets. It documents how amulet
types have different dates and distributions, suggesting that
religious practise changed through time.
Uros Matic and Bo Jensen have brought together a team of both young
and senior researches from many different countries in this first
volume that aims to explore the complex intersection between
archaeology, gender and violence. Papers range from theoretical
discussions on previous approaches to gender and violence and the
ethical necessity to address these questions today, to case studies
dealing on gender and violence from prehistoric to early medieval
Europe, but also including studies on ancient Egypt, Persia and
Peru. The contributors deal both with representations of violence
and its gendered background in images and text, and with
bioarchaeological evidence for violence and trauma with a gendered
background. The volume is rich both in examples and approaches and
includes opening and closing chapters by senior scholars in the
field assessing the current state of work and addressing the
scholarship to continue on the line of this volume.
