Ongoing research includes: Charisma: the links between religious and political charisma, and the distinction between good, accountable and responsive, and bad, coercive charismatic leadership. Making places: the way in which spaces are turned into places by local actors, historically and in everyday, regular activities; the urbanisation of villages. Transmission of loss due to state violence: distinguishing between targeted mass violence and untargeted violence, the result of social indifference, and how such events are recorded and transmitted through different media. Comparing civilisations: the concept of civilisation as shared material culture and the formation of moral persons, overlapping with other civilisations; how to compare them and how to write their history in continuous long-term irreversible changes; their contemporary representation in different modernising projects. Temporalities: how people live, act in and combine several simultaneous senses and trajectories of time, as these cross between civilisations, and negotiate different material formations of temporality. Regimes of visibility and invisibility: the politics of making authority visible and of shielding authority from visibility; display and secrecy of different aesthetic, scientific, ritual and cosmological kinds of knowledge and their politics.
