How do certain forms of knowledge become globally mobile? Focusing on Tasmanian salmon farming, this article addresses the negotiation of locally situated knowledge against the persuasive power of universalising expertise. It is argued that intensive salmon farming relies upon techno‐scientific regimes of production in which the universality of salmon as biogenetic artefact is already inscribed. Intensive salmon farming thus lends itself well to the need for legibility and abstract calculations of large‐scale capitalism. The alliance between scientific and economic interests pushes towards greater technological sophistication, and, in turn, towards a standardisation of salmon as a global universal artefact.

Expert and Lay Knowledge in Pacoima
Public Anthropology and an Essential Tension in Community-based Participatory Action Research
Carl A. Maida
This paper explores the role of 'public anthropology' in the dialogue between practitioners of professional and lay knowledge about urban quality of life. The focus is on community building in Pacoima, a working-class Latino community in Los Angeles, and explores how professionals and residents established an arena and moved towards common ground on environmental health issues, including lead and other toxic exposures. Similar to Pacoima, arenas have emerged in the more engaged communities, worldwide, where quality of life issues, such as health care, housing and the environment, are debated. Within these arenas, experts and laypersons have resolved disputes over competing claims about the definition of an issue, and for equity and greater access to common resources, or public goods, despite vast disparities in knowledge and perspectives that have been shaped by divergent occupational techniques, habits of mind and world images.

Unmapping knowledge
Connecting histories about Haitians in Cuba
Olívia Maria Gomes Da Cunha
This article is an exercise in comparing narratives that depict the ‘presence’ of Haitians in Cuba. It focuses on the creative forms through which groups of and , formally designated , are experimenting with new modes of creating relationships with kin, histories, places and times. Rather than emerging exclusively from the memories of past experiences of immigration and the belonging to ‘communities’, these actors seem to emphasise that histories apparently associating them with certain bounded existential territories can in fact be created and recreated in multiple forms, mediated by diverse objects and events, and apprehended through a critical perspective, albeit one subject to personal interpretations.
