Around the world in five transhumances

12 October 2026 at 07:47
Transhumances 360ยฐ is an international project about pastoralism. Immersive videos show livestock farmers from four continents as they drive their herds from one pasture to another: Boldbaatar, yak farmer in Mongolia; Don Pascual, llama farmer in Argentina; Mahamat Ismail, dromedary farmer in Chad; Ousmane, zebu farmer in Senegal; Jim Benezech, sheep farmer in France. These VR YouTube videos are better experienced with a headset, but they're still impressive without one.

Pamela Toler (History in the Margins, 9/5/26), "The Great Panic of 1893": "occasionally an event, or person, or book, or idea ... shows up in footnotes or casual asides ... if it's interesting or important enough, I share it ... Lately, the Great Panic of 1893 has become insistent." Neil Flanagan (The Birth of a Capital, 9/4/26), "How often do you think about the 1893 World's Fair?": "what draws us to an event, story, or image depends less on the context of the events than the context we inhabit." Photos / maps / VR of the fair. Foods, sweet treats, and "orange cider" of the fair. Pall Mall Magazine and RIBA Journal on the fair. And other magazines that began in 1893 feature Ida Tarbell on "Pasteur at Home," famous prints, rules for psychic / occult investigators, articles on orchidology and astronomy, "Last Week's Paris" followup on anarchists, and the first story of Sexton Blake.
