Usually conceived as that what defines the end of the city, it is actually a structural component of urban environments. Today, its pollution is drawing attention to its agencies. And yet, the only legitimate ways of knowing and responding to air quality are technological “solutions” that are proving not to be enough. One of the reasons, I argue, is because the air’s materiality is not considered in its complexity. So to think about the air as an organic, inorganic, geological, chemical, technological and biological force, challenges our understanding of the city and of the air. To shape an urban cosmopolitics with the air, from a framework at the intersection of science and technologies studies, feminist technoscience and urban political ecologies, I suggest to use the heuristic of a city to identify Madrid’s urban assemblage. Madrid, as a very polluted but average European city, allows to think about the urban air of the every-day, the one that is invisible and mostly imperceptible. The heuristic of the city, as a speculative project, allows to spatialize the air, and makes visible its political and social implications. How can this approach contribute to new framings of the air and the urban? Bio Nerea Calvillo is an architect, researcher and curator, Assistant Professor at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies (University of Warwick). The work produced at her office, C+ arquitectas, and her environmental visualization projects like In the Air have been presented, exhibited and published at international venues. Her research investigates the material, technological, political and social dimensions of environmental pollution. This has led her to analyse notions of toxicity, digital infrastructures of environmental monitoring, DIY and collaborative forms of production, smart cities and feminist approaches to sensing the environment. Her current research is on toxic politics, pollen, atmospheres and queer urban political ecologies. https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/plugins/api_resource/?ref=2&key=p-tU81K9lTToN2aowwtDfhb912ieP6lT8zPAKeJYb6ZHGjf4B9toMCCwL8GYIhxaKUm4pA,,&skey=35ce81e88bf0c8b07ee8cab1d2256481 2019-08-15T14:05:58+02:00 institutskolloquium europäische ethnologie lecture the world s at the ends of the city explorations in urban and environmental anthropology no https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/pages/view.php?ref=3 0.8 weekly 2019-08-20T14:45:26Z https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/plugins/api_resource/?ref=3&preview=1&skey=52190b3ecf95aaa508cdae94770c9cb9 The liberation of culture. Anthropology and after - Alberto Corsín Jiménez (CSIC, Madrid) Abstract ‘An anthropologist’, once wrote Roy Wagner, ‘is someone who uses the word “culture” with hope.’ In recent years, the hopefulness of the anthropological project has demanded redefining our relations to “culture” as a boundary object. If the 1980s famously saw anthropologists take issue with the literary conventions of ethnographic reportage, questioning the reflexive licenses of its genres of representation, more recent work is looking at ways to refunction and reconceptualize the mise-en-scènes and material designs of the ethnographic encounter. If once the tools of anthropological invention were literary craft and metaphor, today they seem to gravitate towards scenographies of playful provocation and speculative design. Yet how is anthropology “getting a hold on” the shifting terrains and pressures of these new forms of fieldwork? What might this “getting a hold on” itself mean when the cultural and infrastructural boundaries between data, method and analysis are hardly distinguishable anymore? What if these shifting dynamics have reframed the problem-spaces of anthropology, such that ours is no longer the study of culture or social relations, not even the ‘invention of culture’ (as Wagner had it), but the reckoning-with its forms of liberation? Bio Alberto Corsín Jiménez is Reader in the Department of Social Anthropology at the Spanish National Research Council in Madrid. He is co-founder of the open access collective Libraria and the open source urban infrastructure of apprenticeships Ciudad Escuela.

He is currently writing an ethnographic history of the free culture movement in Spain. https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/plugins/api_resource/?ref=3&key=vtjX4SE8q2tfOG95a1BW1lz-yvvSugzN9EXkab2CQ5caPpwOmwSF_twFiAvbpkjra3tfIQ,,&skey=198e03f8d2eaa703162850f7b093790a 2019-08-15T14:05:41+02:00 institutskolloquium europäische ethnologie lecture the world s at the ends of the city explorations in urban and environmental anthropolog no https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/pages/view.php?ref=4 0.8 weekly 2019-08-20T14:45:14Z https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/plugins/api_resource/?ref=4&preview=1&skey=3d1a48d3bf9c4fdd4856339478616639 Violence and vigilance: on militarized sentience and phantasms of terror in Paris, France - Robert Desjarlais (Sarah Lawrence, NY) Abstract This talk attends to an anthropological research and writing project with which the author is currently engaged, on the aftermath of violence in Paris, France – specifically, the November 13, 2015, attacks in Paris. In reflecting on the political, affective, and perceptual atmosphere in Paris in the months after the attacks, and on certain aspects of Opération Sentinelle, the state-sponsored program in which military soldiers patrol the city’s streets to protect its residents and deter acts of violence, the author develops a sensorial and material attuned account of an ethos of vigilance currently in effect in Paris and elsewhere. The vigilance itself relates to certain phantasms of violence, in which everyday life appears to be threatened by potentialities of fear, terror, and sudden violence. Bio Robert Desjarlais is a cultural anthropologist. He received his PhD in anthropology from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 1990, and was a NIMH post-doctoral research fellow at Harvard University from 1990 to 1992. He is particularly interested in the linkages between cultural, discursive, and sociopolitical forces and dimensions of subjectivity and intersubjectivity. Robert has conducted extensive and collaborative ethnographic research among Hyolmo people, an ethnically Tibetan Buddhist people, in both Nepal and in Queens, New York, beginning in the late 1980s. Three of his published books draw from that research, among them Subject to Death: Life and Loss in a Buddhist World, 2016. He is also the author of Shelter Blues: Sanity and Selfhood among the Homeless, which received the Victor Turner Prize in Ethnographic Writing. His most recent book, published in 2019, is titled The Blind Man: A Phantasmography. He is currently undertaking anthropological research into questions of violence, vigilance, and colonial histories and postcolonial memory in Paris, France. https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/plugins/api_resource/?ref=4&key=1WS6Uh-Vl_o8mq0eJGl4-m361IJ0_fz8h3wjdS-IDYC2ARw7Q4kdagT9yErHn8-kYvPKYw,,&skey=0fa2acf42322b7777ee105d14525ed45 2019-08-15T14:05:25+02:00 institutskolloquium europäische ethnologie lecture the world s at the ends of the city explorations in urban and environmental anthropology no https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/pages/view.php?ref=5 0.8 weekly 2019-08-20T14:44:53Z https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/plugins/api_resource/?ref=5&preview=1&skey=6f071198a70ebd741bfc503301894d34 Beyond Concrete: Imagination, Material Futures and Construction in Times of Ecological Crisis - Rachel Harkness (University of Edinburgh) Abstract In this talk Dr. Rachel Harkness shall trace the progress of a series of interrelated and collaborative projects carried out with colleagues over the last few years. These are projects considering concrete, the material, and the Anthropocene, the current geological epoch in which humans are the primary cause of permanent planetary change. Recounting the creative (and perhaps not conventionally anthropological) ways in which they explored their topic of concern and shared it with audiences, the story will move to work of her own that takes inspiration from ecological builders with whom she has worked ethnographically. This work is rather more speculative and, taking into account the huge environmental cost of cement and concrete production and use, considers what lies or might lie beyond concrete. Picking-up on the themes and phrasings of this seminar series, she returns in this more recent work to eco-builders’ ideas of how materials sustain and impede forms of life and also to the idea that concrete, as we know it, must end. Taking license from her current art school context, then, she plays with fictions of futures with different materialities, and the ways in which they might allow for different ways of building and dwelling in our environment-world. Bio Dr Rachel Harkness is interested in how people make manifest their (eco-)designs for living. She mostly works ethnographically in the UK and USA with makers, and for the last decade her creative and anthropological research has centred upon the topics of building, making and materials, learning-through-doing, the senses, and importantly, on environmental values and action. Recently she has been collaborating with colleagues internationally on projects considering the materiality of concrete in our time of ecological crisis, and has been building with eco-builders in Scotland and making art installations inspired by their practices. Rachel is a Lecturer in Design Ecologies at the University of Edinburgh’s College of Art, where she combines teaching contextual and critical studies of art and design with courses on social and ecological design. https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/plugins/api_resource/?ref=5&key=H0Ld3IVBA7DkWA2HRqPGGVlCCznNih-4hSicoi93mfeZIurYm1_3GNOWAaREFM_yUhr6_Q,,&skey=b766eccd1763ec4bb5dd8fa0a9d9931c 2019-08-15T14:05:08+02:00 institutskolloquium europäische ethnologie lecture the world s at the ends of the city explorations in urban and environmental anthropology no https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/pages/view.php?ref=6 0.8 weekly 2019-08-20T14:44:45Z https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/plugins/api_resource/?ref=6&preview=1&skey=8d3bf28ac2a09dd47ff79b1d4dd493ac Quer-Denken - Remaking the City: How to care? - Beate Binder, Martina Klausner, Tomás Criado (HU Berlin Abstract In this Quer-Denken session we would like to inquire how the conceptual figure of care might signal different ways of engaging as anthropologists in the study or intervention of the remaking of the city. As a way to reconsider what the previous sessions might have brought, but also as a way to take the debate further, we would like to invoke the vocabulary, epistemic and political concerns around care: Can care be a mode of producing urban anthropological accounts about different forms of remaking the city? But also: Can care describe or signal particular modes in which anthropologists could, would or should engage with these particular practices? How to act as anthropologists in the face of the unknown, the ontologically fragile, the difficult to grasp, the challenging that most initiatives remaking the city bring? With what ethos, conceptual or material toolkit, and aims? Do we care by just describing, or do we need to do more than describing? What should we do? How to care, then? Bio Beate Binder holds a professorship for European Ethnology and Gender Studies at the Institute for European Ethnology and Center for transdisciplinary Gender Studies, Humboldt University. Her main areas of research are feminist cultural anthropology; urban anthropology, anthropology of policy and law, and memory practices. She is currently PL of two research networks: Firstly, the HERA funded research group which is engaged with the history of AIDS/HIV and its related policies (EUROPACH: Disentangling European HIV/AIDS Policies: Activism, Citizenship and Health, www.europach.eu , connected with a DFG-project on the German AIDS/HIV-movement); and secondly, the DFG-funded research group “Law – Gender – Collectivity: Processes of standardization, categorization and generating solidarity”. Dr. Martina Klausner is a research fellow at the Institute for European Ethnology at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Currently, she is working in a research group with partners from law, gender studies, history and sociology. Her focus lies on the mobilization and implementation of anti-discrimination law. Over the last years, Martina has conducted research at the intersection of Social Anthropology and Science and Technology Studies: in the fields of mental health, psychiatry and urban care infrastructures; and the development of intelligent technologies in the medical domain. Moreover she has a high interest in collaborative (or: co-laborative) research with partners from the life sciences, legal sciences and technical sciences. Dr. Tomás Criado is Senior Researcher at the HU Berlin’s Department of European Ethnology. He is currently working on a book project tentatively called ‘Mutual Access: Designing Careful Relations,’ unfolding different approaches to the anthropological engagement in the activist field of inclusive design: in the last years he has been studying inclusive design practices, ranging from institutional initiatives developing urban accessibility infrastructures to the collaboration in activist design collectives, as well as experimenting with pedagogical attempts at sensitising architectural professionals to design otherwise.

Toxic chemical relations exceed the rubrics of toxicant categorization, regulation, banning, and replacement that hold a monopoly on the imaginative horizons of chemical environmental change. I frame this talk around a single chemical that is the most common pollutant in the air where North Americans spend the vast majority of their time (>90%): indoors. I'll argue, framing this story around a single compound, a framing inherited from science and governance, is fundamental to it never reaching resolution. After outlining what I see as the intrinsic issues of the established means of detoxification, I'll discuss one approach to rethinking how materials and relations become toxic in order to rethink how to detoxify. I'll focus on projects that seek to realize alternative thermodynamic imaginaries (specifically non-electric thermodynamics) as a means of addressing toxic issues upstream at the point where there are crosscutting benefits to climate change and biodiversity loss mitigation. Bio Nicholas Shapiro is an incoming Assistant Professor in UCLA’s Institute of Society and Genetics.

Departing from the naming problem surrounding the seaside shantytowns commonly known as Bajamar, it examines efforts to counter displacement pressures afflicting the port-city’s Afro-Colombian population. At stake is a concern for how to understand the intersection of racialized violence and coastal precarity in the context of global climate change. Pivoting on the figure of the “human,” the talk connects recent discussions of the Anthropocene to histories of racial slavery. The coastal landscapes and seascapes once central to the dehumanization of African diasporic life throughout the Americas emerge again as key sites in which the boundaries around the human are reconfigured. Positioning the boundary work of activists and residents of Buenaventura’s waterfront settlements alongside posthumanist thought and some of its critics, I argue that a reengagement with a submerged humanism is necessary for confronting the unequal distribution of precarity in the Anthropocene. Bio Austin Zeiderman is Associate Professor in the Department of Geography and Environment at the London School of Economics. He is an interdisciplinary scholar who specializes in the cultural and political dimensions of urbanization, development, and the environment in Latin America and the Caribbean, with a specific focus on Colombia. His previous research has revolved around questions of security, citizenship, displacement, and the state in the cities of Bogotá and Buenaventura and he is currently working on a historical ethnography of capitalism, race, and nature along Colombia’s Magdalena River. Dr Zeiderman’s teaching focuses primarily on urbanism and futurity; geographies of race; and ethnography. https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/plugins/api_resource/?ref=8&key=xvEU2s7Z89Y0f2bgkMUcqX8pdlqTmwkakfqfRct6mELPYS4TZ5zKdNLRr4_AbNmSEi8lMA,,&skey=55b0fdec7659ffe7d391e0e2f020656b 2019-08-15T14:04:17+02:00 institutskolloquium europäische ethnologie lecture the world s at the ends of the city explorations in urban and environmental anthropology no https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/pages/view.php?ref=9 0.8 weekly 2019-08-20T14:44:17Z https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/plugins/api_resource/?ref=9&preview=1&skey=7e878058172412017d40ec97c37c0157 Ruderal City - Bettina Stoetzer (MIT) Abstract The term “ruderal” (from rudus, rubble) is a common botanical term that refers to communities that inhabit disturbed environments, such as the spaces alongside roads and train tracks, urban wastelands or rubble fields. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork with botanists and migrant urban gardeners in Berlin, this talk engages a series of human-plant encounters to develop the concept of the ruderal and expand it for anthropological analysis of urban environments. Tracing human-plant socialities across the realms of science, public culture and everyday life, the talk directs ethnographic attention towards often unnoticed, unruly and cosmopolitan ways of remaking the urban fabric. The notion of ruderal city, I argue, offers analytical possibilities for rethinking the heterogeneity of urban life beyond a conceptual division between nature and culture – and thus for highlighting the unexpected neighbors, both human and nonhuman, that inhabit the ruins of capitalism, nationalism, and ecological destruction in today’s cities. Bio Bettina Stoetzer is a cultural anthropologist and Assistant Professor at MIT. Her research focuses on the intersections of ecology, migration, and urban social justice. Bettina received her Ph.D. in Anthropology at UC Santa Cruz, and holds an M.A. in Sociology from the University of Goettingen. Before coming to MIT, she was a Harper Fellow at the University of Chicago. Her forthcoming book “Ruderal City: Ecologies of Migration and Urban Life” (Duke) examines how human-environment relations have become a key register through which urban citizenship is articulated in contemporary Europe. Bettina is also the author of InDifferenzen: Feministische Theorie in der Antirassistischen Kritik (argument, 2004) and co-edited Shock and Awe. War on Words together with Anna Tsing et al (2004).

Germain Meulemans will first address the spread of hard-surfaces in the cities of nineteenth century France, where the backgrounding of soils’ vital qualities arose from the same civilizing impetus as the education of human posture or the separation between body and mind. He will then build on ethnographic fieldwork within the emerging field of the ‘urban soil sciences’, which studies not only the brown soils of parks and gardens, but also roofs, streets and the façades of buildings as soil-like systems. He then describes the ways in which these ‘anthropo-pedogeneses’ – to use their own term – test these scientists’ research practices. These new soils were soon framed as a scientific opportunity, bringing scientists to engage with experimental practices of soil making, but they also became economic opportunities, as scientists formed new bonds with the worlds of urbanism, city administration, and waste management, reframing their approach as a technical response to challenges of modern sprawling cities. He will finally contrast this approach to urban soils with the reclaiming methods of a group of guerrilla gardeners who rebuild soils in a railway brownfield site. In their case, reclaiming practices do not link to a narrative of conquest or control over ruderal land, but to a power struggle for spaces in the city, an empowering journey that leads them to register many more things into their idea of soil than just the surface epiderm of the Earth. Bio Germain Meulemans is an anthropologist interested in the environment, creativity and perception. After receiving his PhD from the Universities of Aberdeen and Liège in 2017, he joined the Centre Alexandre Koyré (EHESS, CNRS, MNHN) in Paris as an IFRIS postdoctoral fellow. His current research focuses on the increasing concerns for urban soils in the soil sciences and urban planning, and on the ontological implications of working with anthropogenic environments for the natural and social sciences. He has collaborated with artists on several art-research projects bearing on soils and sustainability, and is a founding member of the Chaoïds collective. https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/plugins/api_resource/?ref=10&key=jaNolmLDqeEZITYNL6HRM1F1q_t0MnW3Ez5iEfaanC-a2Vr3sI1Ik2lf68Lc5Gyg3u191A,,&skey=868c28d35d41c2f1143bbab165dfec4c 2019-08-15T14:03:52+02:00 institutskolloquium europäische ethnologie lecture the world s at the ends of the city explorations in urban and environmental anthropology no https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/pages/view.php?ref=20 0.8 weekly 2020-02-13T16:05:31Z https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/plugins/api_resource/?ref=20&preview=1&skey=59efbed7a58e02bbf78fb4911eff1ea2 Buchvorstellung und Diskussion: This is not economy - Christian Felber Buchvorstellung und Diskussion: This is not economy - Christian Felber https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/plugins/api_resource/?ref=20&key=0RSc8eZv2WnvJ0o9FKS-oC99Nsb1cjr8-Gqg90nLjf0pvAi0uFox42xXWyuDDDrHIfbWNw,,&skey=7da055ba394919059e3f3a32a2a44176 2020-02-13T15:55:12+01:00 no https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/pages/view.php?ref=24 0.8 weekly 2021-05-18T14:20:17Z https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/plugins/api_resource/?ref=24&preview=1&skey=7fbf1438a092143a71a719f32ff9aff4 Traces of the Future: Keynote with Arjun Appadurai (New York, Berlin).

Perspectives of a Public and Engaged Anthropology. Intro by Regina Römhild. Recorded 18.05.2021 The lecture places East Europe within ongoing debates in postcolonial studies. It brings the afterlives of heterogeneous imperial formations tied to Russian, Ottoman, Habsburg, and Austro-Hungarian imperial projects into the conversation on postcoloniality. In particular, through the concept of “racial triangulation,” the lecture focuses on the complex and multidirectional European racial fields generated by this history. https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/plugins/api_resource/?ref=28&key=lcuibXW7o7GKiZqGXAcI-MGSQmMzsNSZzqGgF0FG5LZrSUQL0gTXQjJIQgjKXNY_WhOqmA,,&skey=7230b98e254c451b87f4026699b7c0b9 2021-05-19T11:49:13+02:00 no https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/pages/view.php?ref=29 0.8 weekly 2021-06-02T11:35:31Z https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/plugins/api_resource/?ref=29&preview=1&skey=552ee38d8c3ecdc3288dd601a4e491a1 Sherry B. Ortner (L.A.) - Screening the Future: Documentary Film and Social Justice Activism Futures in/of Anthropology. Perspectives of a Public and Engaged Anthropology. Intro by Regina Römhild. Recorded 26.05.2021 This talk is drawn from a larger ethnographic study of a film production company that makes critical documentaries with the intention of generating progressive political activism (www.bravenewfilms.org). In this paper I look at the company from the point of view of anthropological and sociological research on social movements, seeing it as a part of what I call “social movement infrastructure.” I look ethnographically at their practical work in movement building, including their work on social media, on partnering with likeminded organizations, and on promoting grass-roots screenings of the films. I also ask about their orientation toward the future. I argue in part that infrastructure building and maintenance is itself inherently future oriented. Beyond that, however, I look at their representations about the future, in both their company “vision statement” and in their films. In the end we can see that a large part of their vision includes activism itself, as an ongoing part of a democratic future. https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/plugins/api_resource/?ref=29&key=DvJQmkJtbzJYVKm75-BkTcVOyg7gWvf8xQLU7ZblcxRCgeRhVn-5Ovo4e_CD5TMsut7P0A,,&skey=f225774a85038a169ddd5cc4ecf8bb79 2021-05-31T13:19:20+02:00 no https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/pages/view.php?ref=30 0.8 weekly 2021-07-02T16:15:13Z https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/plugins/api_resource/?ref=30&preview=1&skey=1947582cab28a206f02b7f9264e2361d Maribel Casas Cortés (Zaragoza): Ethnographies Otherwise: The Gaze of Displacement and its Analytical / Political Potential Futures in/of Anthropology. Perspectives of a Public and Engaged Anthropology. Intro by Regina Römhild. Recorded 22.06.2021 Taking migratory movements as the point of departure, and against the grain of methodological sedentarism, I propose the “gaze of displacement” as an alternative perspective from which to produce ethnographic analysis and political resonances. This gaze allows for epistemological and ontological displacements of the following boundaries: object/subject, canonized/marginalized knowledges, research/reality. Building on critical traditions such as Feminist Empiricism, Decolonial Theory and STS, I propose an ethnographic endeavor focused on identifying and describing what displacement can generate and how it is coped with. As such, ethnographic work is not intended to provide voice to the voiceless or unveil the invisible. It is not about prescribing solutions to spreading conditions of instability associated with displacement either. Rather, these ethnographies otherwise engage in acts of translation and weaving between experiences of coping with uncertainty, co-producing “archives of the present.” This methodological approach entails detailed registering of the temporary entanglements already addressing shifting needs and nurturing fluctuating collective identities within multiple realities of displacement. https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/plugins/api_resource/?ref=30&key=WMTmDL25TCs2YyZalzDNNyGbqNX6PnUGDFshoPKtPVZEymXA8YJeW4UYpgWY4FwYeG-bRg,,&skey=ec42d02fff4990b88526341ed21bb542 2021-06-25T19:08:54+02:00 no https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/pages/view.php?ref=31 0.8 weekly 2021-07-14T20:36:35Z https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/pages/view.php?ref=32 0.8 weekly 2021-08-02T12:41:29Z https://rs.cms.hu-berlin.de/ik/plugins/api_resource/?ref=32&preview=1&skey=daca544a8f3fb8d0b2947c51ba51f933 Making space in the spirit of Anton Wilhelm Amo: A virtual decolonial flânerie Futures in/of Anthropology.
