Abstract

Chimpanzees are well-known tool users, with differences reported in the tool use repertoires among communities and subspecies. Chimpanzees at most study sites exhibit some degree of stick tool use behaviour for extractive foraging, with the exception of eastern chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) inhabiting Budongo Forest in western Uganda. Chimpanzees there have never been observed using stick tools despite being studied for decades, although, more recently, probing and digging tool use has been documented in neighbouring forest fragments. Here, I report preliminary observations of immature chimpanzees using stick tools as probes in a foraging context in Kasongoire, a newly studied community in the unprotected forest fragments outside Budongo Forest. The behaviour appears to be rare and insect prey seems not to have been actually ingested, but the observations provide further evidence of probing stick tool use by chimpanzees only 15 km from the main forest block. Differences in tool use have been previously reported between neighbouring communities of chimpanzees. Considering the complete absence of stick tool use in Budongo Forest, the increasing evidence that it is present in such close geographical proximity poses questions about the transfer of cultural knowledge between individuals and communities.

Abstract

A study was performed to compare the investment costs and functionality of a number of different multipurpose chemical manufacturing plants, all used for the manufacture of active pharmaceutical ingredients and their intermediates. In parallel the functionality required to process a large number of steps was assessed and the results of the two studies were combined. A description of the methodology and of the key findings is given.

Abstract

Les trois études de ce numéro présentent l’ethnographe à la caméra dans des situations inédites. Jusqu’alors exprimé par des cinéastes et des critiques politiques du film documentaire, le souhait d’une véritable parité est maintenant exigé par les personnes filmées. L’ethnographe à la caméra se retrouve sur le terrain dans une situation paradoxale : les pratiques de l’image sont répandues sans que la position de l’observateur ne soit forcément nécessaire ou évidente. Bien plus encore, la maîtrise des logiques de circulation des images par ses interlocuteurs entraîne de nouvelles négociations autour de l’activité du filmeur. Plus que des choix pragmatiques, ces transactions engagent des problématiques aux fondements de l’anthropologie filmée et d’une anthropologie du visuel. The three studies of this issue present the ethnographer with the camera in new situations. Previously expressed by filmmakers and political critics of the documentary film, the desire for genuine parity is now demanded by the people who are filmed. The ethnographer with the camera finds him/herself in a paradoxical situation on the field. Image practices are prevalent, yet his/her position of observer is not necessarily evident. Moreover, as his/her interlocutors master the logics of circulation of images, new negotiations on the activity of the filmmaker arise. More than practical choices, such transactions engage with core issues in filmed and visual anthropology. Los tres estudios que conforman este número presentan el etnógrafo o etnógrafa investigando con cámara delante de situaciones inéditas. El deseo de una auténtica paridad, hasta hace poco solo reclamado por cineastas y por la crítica política del cine documental, es ahora exigido por las personas filmadas. El etnógrafo o etnógrafa con camara se encuentra en una situación paradójica : con la expansión de las prácticas relativas a la imagen parece que la posición del observador no es ni evidente ni tan siquiera necesaria. Es más, el dominio de la lógicas de circulación de las imágenes por parte de los interlocutores conlleva un conjunto de nuevas negociaciones alrededor de la actividad del cineasta. Más allá de las decisiones de carácter práctico, estas transacciones plantean nuevas problemáticas sobre los fundamentos mismos de la antropología fílmica y de la antropología de lo visual.
