“…These dynamics change over time and are contingent on the relational networks that are constantly reassembling sleep. Night-times take on particular atmospheres (Anderson 2009;Galinier et al 2010), heavy with affect such that social relations take on situated dynamics. As we have seen here, solidarities and schisms may be forged within the spatio-temporal specificity of residential 'therapeutic landscapes' (Laws 2009) with residents variously engaging in these dynamics.…”

There is evidence that poor sleep mitigates recovery from substance dependence and increases risk of relapse. However, to date research literature is located within biomedical, clinical and psychological paradigms. To complement the extant work, this article offers a sociological exploration of sleep in the context of recovery from dependence on alcohol and/or other drugs. Drawing on qualitative data generated through interviews with 28 men and women living in residential rehabilitation settings in England, we provide a detailed exploration of sleep practices focusing on how these are enacted throughout the night. We offer the concept of 'sleepfulness' to suggest that sleep should not be understood simply as being other than awake; rather it involves a myriad of associations between diverse actants - human and non-human - that come to 'fill up', enable and assemble sleep. Together these empirical insights and conceptualisations disturb the ontology of sleep and point to the fulsome dimensions of the category.

“…People hang out even when Serbians were bombing the city. Nobody can kill the city's life" 4 . However not all the people that then were living in Sarajevo under the siege participated of that 'violent normality' as I, a 45 years old female born in Sarajevo, points out: "There was nothing ... Now the city center is full of nightlife venues… and you've got two new discotheques, Aqua, in Ilidza.. and one more in the Unitic Towers area".…”

The urban night constitutes a time of significant and productive economic activity in the post-industrial city. The promotion of certain modes of urban 'distinguished' nightlife plays an active role in promoting an increasingly standardised experience of city nightlife and the emergence of new socially sanitized, 'elitized' urban nightscapes. In Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina), the old downtown has been turned into a consumption product and a symbol of social distinction for the new middle classes raised after the war conflicts of mid and late 1990s, taking 'distinguished' clubbing-based nightlife consumption as one of their main mechanisms of self-identity construction in times of Westernization as part of the post-socialist transition. Moreover the presence of a numerous international community of soldiers, diplomats, policy makers, and other foreign actors favoured the soaring of Westernized nightlife in post-socialist Sarajevo. Its urban night rapidly became the most important socio-political and cultural counterweight arena where the Islamization and neoliberalization of urban space encountered, involving the emergence of particular urbanscapes in the heart of Europe. However the international community retirement, especially significant five years ago with the closure of several international organisations, has involved the rise of increasingly segregated urban nightscape in social, spatial and ethno-national terms. Based on an ethnographic fieldwork carried out between 2008 and 2014, this papers aims at exploring the multifaceted subtextuality of the urban nightscape(s) in post-socialist Sarajevo by taking the urban night as analytical lens and case study (Straw 2014). This paper will conclude by suggesting the urban night in Sarajevo might be considered as a visible expression of the everyday urban geoethnopolitics of post-war Balkan region.

“…Je propose donc dans ce texte de parcourir le lexique de la peur en inuktitut, tel qu'il est attesté dans le nord de la Terre de Baffin (région du Tununiq), en m'appuyant essentiellement sur un corpus recueilli lors de mes enquêtes de terrain à Mittimatalik (Pond Inlet) portant sur les représentations de la nuit (Bordin 2002(Bordin , 2008(Bordin , 2009Galinier et al 2010). Les bases lexicales recensées sont pour la plupart également utilisées dans d'autres régions géographiquement et linguistiquement proches (Kivalliq, sud de Baffin, Nunavik), avec des sens quelquefois variables; ceux-ci seront au besoin présentés.…”

Si les émotions liées à la peur sont universelles, les façons de les exprimer et de les catégoriser ne le sont pas. Comment les Inuit en parlent-ils alors? Dans cet article, je me propose de livrer des éléments de réponse en parcourant le lexique de la peur en inuktitut, tel qu’il est attesté dans le nord de la Terre de Baffin, en m’appuyant en grande partie sur des données provenant de la communauté de Mittimatalik (Pond Inlet). J’ai relevé dans cette région neuf bases principales qui permettent d’exprimer la peur, chacune d’elles s’adressant à une composante plus ou moins large, du spécifique au générique, du spectre émotif timérique. Une classification en est proposée.While fear-related emotions are universal, ways to express and categorise them are not. How then do Inuit people talk about them? In this article, I provide some answers by studying the lexicon of fear in Inuktitut as spoken in North Baffin Island, the data being largely from the community of Mittimatalik (Pond Inlet). In this region, I found nine main word stems that can be used to express fear, each of them dealing with a more or less broad component, ranging from specific to generic, of the emotional spectrum of fear. A system of classification is proposed
