Abstract Anthony Leeds is best known for his work in Brazil. His doctoral fieldwork was conducted in Bahia, and he published extensively on his work in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro. This article focuses instead on his work outside Brazil. An energetic fieldworker, the article follows his research in Venezuela, in Lima, in Texas hill villages, on Chukchi reindeer herders and pig breeding in Melanesia, and on Portuguese labour migration, as well as his theoretical contributions to understanding the linkages between the rural and the urban. Based on the accounts of Leeds's former students and colleagues at the universities of Texas and Boston and on the consultation of the collection kept at the National Anthropological Archives, we present the phases in which Anthony Leeds's professional career can be divided and the main studies that he worked on until his death in 1989.

Abstract
Buildings are metaphors for particular cultures and times. They are 'frozen thought'. The World Trade Center complex in New York was a global hub of financial, insurance, and banking companies. The Twin Towers were the primary symbols of that hub. This article describes the changes in Lower Manhattan that occurred after 9/11, partly as a result of the attacks that September day, partly because the nature of communication and business transactions changed regardless of 9/11. The purpose of this area, as well as the narrative that expressed its global dominance, have both been altered. Physical aspects of financial power represented by large corporate offices and trading floors are no longer necessary. The financial firms in the World Trade Center diversified their offices, moving to Midtown (the 'new Wall Street') and to other states, at the same time that publishing and advertising companies, looking for cheaper rents, moved to Lower Manhattan. The World Trade Center buildings now have a different purpose, and a different narrative.
