HAU: Journal of Ethnographic Theory is a triannual peer-reviewed academic journal, published by the Society for Ethnographic Theory.[1] The Society also publishes HAU Books,[2] a book series with over 42 titles and that is committed to open access anthropology.
HAU took inspiration for its name from Marcel Mauss' usage of the Māori concept of hau in his book The Gift. Mauss' anthropological concept of hau invites people to explore how encounters with alterity occasion the opportunity to build theory from indigenous knowledge practices. The journal addresses topics such as indigenous ontologies and systems of knowledge, forms of human engagement and relationality, cosmology and myth, magic, witchcraft and sorcery, truth and falsehood, indigenous theories of kinship and relatedness with humans and non-humans, hierarchy, materiality, perception, environment and space, time and temporality, personhood and subjectivity, and alternative metaphysics of morality.[3][4]
HAU was co-founded in 2011 by Giovanni da Col and Justin Shaffner, who at the time were graduate students in Social Anthropology at the University of Cambridge.[5] As of January 2019, the journal is ranked seventh in Google Scholar's top publication list for anthropology (fourth among the socio-cultural anthropology journals).[6] The journal is abstracted and indexed in Scopus, with a 2019 citescore index of 1.16.[7]
