    Abstract: Diese Dissertation nutzt die Heterogenität der Geschlechterrolleneinstellungen in der deutschen Bevölkerung, um zu untersuchen, ob individuelle Geschlechterrolleneinstellungen den allmählichen Bedeutungsverlust der Ehe erklären können. Mit Hilfe der Event-History-Analysis von Daten der PAIRFAM-Umfrage wird in drei empirischen Studien untersucht, ob und wie Geschlechterrolleneinstellungen die Heiratswahrscheinlichkeit beeinflussen. Eine Querschnittsbetrachtung des Zusammenhangs zwischen Geschlechtsrolleneinstellungen und Heiratsverhalten zeigt, dass Geschlechterrolleneinstellungen in der Stichprobe mit Zeitpunkt und Wahrscheinlichkeit einer Heirat korreliert. Befragte, die traditionalistische oder konservative Einstellungen vertreten, heiraten eher als Liberale und Egalitäre. In einer Längsschnittbetrachtung werden die Auswirkungen von Einstellungsänderungen im Laufe der Zeit erforscht, wobei häufige Änderungen der Geschlechtsrolleneinstellungen mit späteren und weniger wahrscheinlichen Übergängen zur Ehe korrelieren. Eine Betrachtung beider Partner untersucht, wie sich Paare mit kohärenten Geschlechterrolleneinstellungen von nicht übereinstimmenden Paaren unterscheiden, wobei eine gemeinsame Einstellung nicht mit einer höheren Heiratswahrscheinlichkeit korreliert ist. Paare, die mit unterschiedlichen Einstellungen beginnen und zu einer gemeinsamen Einstellung gelangen, heiraten jedoch mit höherer Wahrscheinlichkeit. Diese Dissertation trägt zur aktuellen Literatur bei, indem sie den Zusammenhang zwischen Geschlechterrolleneinstellungen und Heirat untersucht. Durch die Anwendung von Handlungstheorien auf Mikroebene und die Übertragung von Makro-Theorien des demografischen Wandels auf die Einzel- und Paarebene zeige ich, dass Geschlechterrolleneinstellungen eine potenzielle Triebkraft des demografischen Wandels sind. Sie beeinflussen die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer Heirat und stellen einen potenziellen Übertragungsmechanismus für Theorien des Wandels auf Makroebene dar.
    Abstract: This dissertation leverages the heterogeneity in gender role attitudes in the German population to investigate if individual attitudes towards gender roles can explain the gradual loss of relevance of marriage. Using event history analysis on data from the PAIRFAM survey, I test if and how gender role attitudes influence the likelihood of marrying in three empirical studies. Chapter 3 offers a cross-sectional assessment of the empirical relationship between gender role attitudes and marital behavior. Gender role attitudes are in the sample correlated with the timing and likelihood of marriage. Respondents expressing traditionalist or conservative attitudes are more likely to marry than liberals and egalitarians. Chapter 4 investigates the relationship with a longitudinal outlook, exploring the effect of attitude change over time. Here I show that respondents whose attitudes are more stable over time tend to be more likely to marry, while frequent changes in gender role attitudes correlate with later and less likely transitions to marriage. Chapter 5 focuses on both partners, investigating how couples with gender attitudes that are coherent differ from mismatched couples. I show that sharing a common attitude is uncorrelated to more likely marriages. However, couples who start with different attitudes and reach a shared one are more likely to marry. This dissertation contributes to the current literature by exploring the connection between attitudes and marriage. By applying micro-level theories of action and transposing macro-level theories of demographic change at the individual and couple level, I show that gender role attitudes are indeed a potential driver of demographic change through their role in shaping the likelihood of marriage, offering a potential mechanism of transmission for macro-level theories of change.

    Abstract: What sounds and noises does a future building make? How do architectural acousticians listen to a building in the making? How do you measure something that is not yet there? What is the epistemological status of approximations? Following the listening practices of acousticians as they measure a future experience of sound through a mock-up and of noise through an incomplete simulation, this article explores the challenge of fixing sound and noise as elusive objects of knowledge. Based on an ethnography of a building project, we see how architectural acousticians rely on what they call “approximations,” both the inscriptions and inscriptive work used to give traces of reality to future lived experiences of sound and noise that they hope “would be” there. Bringing together sound studies, ethnographies of architectural practice and science and technology studies accounts of inscription practices, the article argues for attention to be placed on the ephemera of knowledge and design practices, which allows analytic focus to remain upstream between the possible and the actual. Situated within the practices of the acousticians, we can witness some of the ways that sound and noise take shape within a building project, grosso modo.

    Abstract: Anthropological fieldwork is a collaborative practice, based and reliant on interactions and relations of trust and exchange. Yet, it is limited and enabled by the openings and closings, the stability and instability of relations between interlocutors, fieldworkers, and the many things that matter in between and around these relations. This article reflects on a series of public conversations called gallery reflections, which were instigated as a collaborative ethnographic practice with and within the gallery of the institute of foreign cultural relations (ifa) in Berlin-Mitte. The series addressed the legacies of German colonial heritage and the public role of anthropology against the backdrop of the construction of the Humboldt Forum and museum transformations. Investigating the notion of the anthropologist as sparring partner, this article probes into possible ways of conceiving curatorial-ethnographic collaborations as ‘instigative public fieldwork’.

    Abstract: In order to examine the entangled notions of rural hinterlands and practices of future- and place-making, this article focuses on an episode from my fieldwork in Egypt’s Eastern Nile Delta in 2015/16, when I accompanied Tahawi Bedouins on their successful campaign during Egypt’s parliamentary elections in 2015. The aim is to shed light on the strategic use of tribal solidarity and patronage networks to mobilize supporters and voters. However, the same tribal networks and resources were also used to invoke and perform the necessary tribal unity when faced with a rural non-Tahawi population. The article develops two ideas, strategic tribalism and maḍyafa (guest house) ecology, to show the election campaign as an example of future- and place-making in a rural setting, whereas the specific constraints, possibilities and meanings embedded in the rural as a resource and a reserve unfold very differently, always reaching beyond romantic notions of the rural as remote.

    Abstract: Although the practice of writing is key to the production of ethnographic knowledge, the topic remains understudied. Using material from our own ethnographic research in the fields of air travel and cultural heritage as data, we develop a reflexive account of ethnographic writing. We examine in detail the practices of jotting down observations, writing field notes, analytic annotating, ordering and rearranging, and drafting and revising papers. The article takes a praxeological stance, conceptualizing writing as a practice that is simultaneously cognitive, embodied, and material. Our analysis finds that writing influences and shapes all stages of ethnographic work, from orienting perception by setting an appropriate mode of attention to organizing the work itself, e.g., by keeping to-do lists. Writing does not simply communicate ethnographic insights, but—as a result of the activity of texts—it also generates them.

    Abstract: As Therasiotes – residents of Therasia, a sparsely populated island sitting to the west of the globally iconic tourist destination of Santorini – engage with their landscape, they are haunted by a sense of stillness, which contrasts with Santorini’s reverberating modernity. By combining text with photographic imagery, this essay explores how Therasiotes experience quietness and its perceived antithesis, modernity, as well as the ways in which both are entangled in conflicting dynamics of pleasure and aversion, a condition invoking Derrida’s discussion of Plato’s pharmakon, with its inherent vacillation between the categories of cure and poison. The article examines peoples’ material practices and modes of looking in order to understand how they experience time and place and how they rework the island’s position in national and global hierarchies of value. It also proposes a peripatetic narrative structure that mirrors my own physical movements on the island in pursuit of photos and thus explores the ethnographic role of photography as a narrative strategy, an object of study and a research method.

    Abstract: How can we rethink anthropology beyond itself? In this book, twenty-one artists, anthropologists, and curators grapple with how anthropology has been formulated, thought, and practised ‘elsewhere’ and ‘otherwise’. They do so by unfolding ethnographic case studies from Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Poland – and through conversations that expand these geographies and genealogies of contemporary exhibition-making. This collection considers where and how anthropology is troubled, mobilised, and rendered meaningful. Across Anthropology charts new ground by analysing the convergences of museums, curatorial practice, and Europe’s reckoning with its colonial legacies. Situated amid resurgent debates on nationalism and identity politics, this book addresses scholars and practitioners in fields spanning the arts, social sciences, humanities, and curatorial studies.

    Abstract: Violence in video games has been a controversial object of public discourse for several decades. The question of what kind of emotional experiences players enact when playing with representations of physical violence in games has been largely ignored however. Building upon an extensive ethnographic study of players' emotional practices in video games, including participant observation in online games, qualitative interviews, an analysis of YouTube videos and gaming magazines since the 1980s, this Element provides new insights into the complexity and diversity of player experiences and the pleasures of playful virtual violence. Instead of either defending or condemning the players, it contributes foundational, unprejudiced knowledge for a societal and academic debate on a critical aspect of video gaming.

    Keywords: Hochschulschrift ; partnership ; globalisation ; transnational cooperation ; funding infrastructure ; project management ; ERASMUS ; networks ; co-presence ; praxeography ; ethnography ; invisible work ; Globalisierung ; Partnerschaft ; transnationale Zusammenarbeit ; Projektmanagement ; ERASMUS ; Fördermittel ; Netzwerke ; Co-Präsenz ; Praxeographie ; Ethnographie ; unsichtbare Arbeit ; Sozialwissenschaften
    Abstract: Does a transnational cooperation project help overcome historical power relations when cooperating across borders and continents? Departing from this self-reflexive question articulated by a European education network striving at the time to expand its membership and become ‘more global’, this ethnographic study explores how exactly global cooperation comes about. Drawing on insights from the Ethnography of Infrastructure and Actor-Network-Theory, I examine the otherwise not-so-visible work practices of educators and administrators driving such a project forward – in this case study, an ERASMUS+ funded NGO project. I show how facilitators and administrators in the project are dealing with different kinds of invisible work when interacting with the frames set by funder’s rules, on one side, and each organisations’ administrative needs, on the other. As a crucial part of their involvement, practitioners have to tackle the recurring problem of establishing connection and staying connected. Based on these observations I analyse how the project as a form itself assists in making ‘the global’ through its own transient ways of connecting and disconnecting things, people and places. The project relates to partnership in a double sense: it represents a cooperation in itself and it is at the same time used as a vehicle to achieve the said. I suggest to call this the characteristic form of partnership-as-project in which inscriptions made in the past through budgets and proposals facilitate and simultaneously shape all efforts to cooperate as equals. This case study shows where and how (funding) infrastructures very concretely participate in constructing global relations, as they are entangled in the very historical structures that projects concerned with transnational cooperation seek to challenge.
    Abstract: Kann ein transnationales Projekt dabei helfen, die historischen Machtstrukturen transnationaler Zusammenarbeit zu überwinden? Meine Studie nimmt diese selbstreflexive Frage eines europäischen Bildungsnetzwerks mit Globalisierungsambitionen zum Anlass, genauer nachzufragen, wie ‘das Globale’ entsteht. Die ethnographische Forschung untersucht dazu Praktiken von Trainer*innen und Projektmanager*innen in einem durch ERASMUS+ geförderten transnationalen Kooperationsprojekt mehrerer NGOs. Mithilfe von Konzepten aus der Ethnographie der Infrastruktur und der Akteur-Netzwerk-Theorie zeichne ich die meist weniger sichtbaren administrativen Praktiken nach, die ein solches Projekt vorantreiben. Eine zentrale Herausforderung der Beteiligten ist es, Verbindungen unter einander herzustellen und aufrechtzuerhalten. Die Interaktion mit den Vorgaben der Geldgeberin auf der einen Seite und den administrativen Bedürfnisse einzelner Organisationen auf der anderen Seite produziert zugleich verschiedene Arten verborgener Arbeit. Ausgehend von diesen Beobachtungen schlage ich vor, das Projekt als eine Form der Kooperation zu verstehen, die eine spezifische Art des Globalen hervorbringt. Die Form des Projekts steht zu Partnerschaft in einer zweischneidigen Beziehung, wenn praktizierte Partnerschaft sowohl das erwünschte Ergebnis als auch das Mittel ist, um Partnerschaftlichkeit zu erreichen. In einer solchen Partnerschaft-als-Projekt ermöglichen die Festlegungen in Projektanträgen und Budgets ernsthafte Versuche, auf Augenhöhe zusammenzuarbeiten und weisen diese gleichzeitig in ihre Schranken. Indem ich Förderprogramme als Infrastruktur transnationaler Zusammenarbeit konzeptionalisiere, kann ich in dieser Fallstudie zeigen, wie und wodurch genau Förderstrukturen eine spannungsvolle Form von Globalsein mitgestalten. Sie tun dies mitunter, weil sie auf den selben historischen Strukturen aufbauen, die viele Projekte im Bereich transnationaler Kooperation in Frage stellen möchten.

    Keywords: Hochschulschrift ; Yoga ; Kulturelle Hybridität ; Soziologie ; Konsumismus ; Yoga ; cultural hybridity ; sociology ; consumerism ; Soziologie, Anthropologie
    Abstract: In dieser Studie werde ich die Kundalini Yoga Lehrergemeinschaft in Berlin als meine Fallstudie nehmen, um zu untersuchen, inwieweit kulturelle Hybridität in diesem Yoga-Strom gestaltet wird. Ich werde beschreiben, wie die betreffende Community Sikh-Elemente in ihren Unterricht einbezieht und gleichzeitig das westliche Publikum anspricht, indem sie Kundalini Yoga an den lokalen Kontext anpasst. Ich werde auch mitnehmen welche Rolle Konsumismus bei der Gestaltung der Gemeinschaftskultur spielt, wobei die entstandene hybride Kultur aus einer Mischung östlicher und westlicher Elemente besteht. Diese Dissertation konzentriert sich auf die Frage, wie Kundalini Yoga in Berlin (oder besser gesagt seine Lehrer) eine hybride Kultur schafft, in der Yoga für eine Praxis geeignet ist, die in der dominierenden kapitalistischen Kultur in Berlin akzeptabel ist (z. B. Yoga auf Fitness und Stress reduzieren), während gleichzeitig neue Elemente und Bedeutungen in diese dominante Kultur eingefügt werden, die zur Bildung einer lokalen KundaliniYoga-Kultur beitragen, die durch die Funktionsweise des Konsums vorangetrieben wird. Ziel dieser Forschung ist es, einen Beitrag zur Erforschung der (kulturellen) Hybridisierung angesichts der Globalisierung zu leisten. Darüber hinaus wird meine Arbeit zur Erforschung des Yoga beitragen und meine Arbeit wird die Hybridisierung neu konzipieren, indem ich die Rolle des Konsums bei der Hybridisierung lokaler Kulturen untersuche.
    Abstract: In this thesis, I will take the Kundalini Yoga teacher community in Berlin as my case study in order to investigate the extent to which cultural hybridity is present in this yoga stream. I will discuss how the community in question incorporates Sikh elements in their classes, while also catering to their western audience by adapting Kundalini Yoga to fit the local context. Also, I will look at the role consumerism plays in shaping a community culture that consists of a mix of eastern and western elements. This thesis focusses on the question of how does Kundalini Yoga in Berlin (or rather its teachers) create a hybrid culture where yoga is appropriated to a practice that is acceptable in the dominant capitalist culture in Berlin (e.g. reducing yoga to a fitness and stress- reduction practice), while also inserting into that dominant culture new elements and meanings, contributing to the formation of a local Kundalini Yoga culture, propelled by the workings of consumerism? The objective of this research is to contribute to the body of research on (cultural) hybridization in the face of globalization. Furthermore, my work will contribute to the body of research on yoga and my work will re-conceptualize hybridization by looking at the role consumerism plays in the hybridization of local cultures.

    Abstract: Community psychiatry services in Berlin are currently facing serious challenges providing care to their clients due to a strained housing market and a lack of housing for people with low income or on welfare. Rather than using the word precarity to describe the effect of cuts in welfare state benefits and investments, we grasp precarity ethnographically as a situated, processual condition that emerges in urban assemblages. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork in community psychiatry and with people with a psychiatric diagnosis in Berlin, we elaborate on the entanglement of housing market development, gentrification processes and mental health care provision. Community psychiatry professionals especially face challenges securing decent housing for their clients in the inner-city; as a result they pressure them to keep disturbances to a minimum and keep inconspicuous clients in the mental health care system. We argue that precarity is contingently produced by the coming-together of urban developments and community psychiatry principles. As such, precarity itself is generative of shifts in mental health care practices, produces visible tensions within community psychiatry and unfolds in the everyday struggles of mental health care clients, resulting in ambiguous outcomes. To provide a relational analysis of precarity as lived experience and a condition of urban life, we introduce the notion of niching as a middle-range concept connecting conditions of precarity with what people make of it. This is complemented by an analysis of the socio-material practices that produce urbanism.

    Abstract: Hope is much discussed as a future-oriented affect emerging from uncertain living conditions. While this conceptualisation illuminates the role that hope plays in shaping life trajectories, hope itself remains largely unaddressed. In this paper, we approach hope ethnographically as practice through the lens of material-semiotics. We draw on fieldwork in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, where hoping turns out to be co-constitutive of peri-urban life and landscape. We challenge person-centred understandings of hope in order to bring materiality back in two ways: first, hoping in its various modes and forms is always situated in particular settings, thus, its enactment has to be reflected; and second, hoping “takes place”, co-constitutive of the transformation of urban life. Additionally, we consider the temporality of hoping and highlight how hoping persists through urban space. We conclude that a more profound and thoroughly materialised understanding of hoping’s generative and stabilising potential may strengthen the role of anthropology in current research on socio-ecological transformations.

    Abstract: Diese Arbeit basiert auf einer explorierenden ethnografischen Forschung bei einer interdisziplinären Forschungsgruppe, die mathematische Modelle und Computersimulationen komplexer sozio-ökologischer Transformationen entwickelt. Die detaillierte empirische Beschreibung von Wissenspraxen in der Modellierung trägt zu ihrem grundlegenden Verständnis seitens der Sozialanthropologie und Wissenschaft- und Technikforschung bei. Dabei werden Konzepte wie Bifurkation, Irreversibiltätsgrade und Alignment (Ausrichtung) operationalisiert. Theoretisch Diskussionen betreffen die Kollektivität wissenschaftlicher Praxis, die Epistemologie von Computersimulationen, Materialität in Experimenten, Laborstudien und Ontologie. Modellkonstruktion und –läufe können als Prozess beschrieben werden, in dem Modellformate durch materiell-semiotische Praxen – vereinfachen, experimentieren, und visualisieren – iterativ und kontinuierlich aufeinander ausgerichtet werden. Die verschiedenen Praxen sind dabei mit bestimmten Formaten jeweils besonders verbunden. Das Konzept des Formats verdeutlicht dabei die verschiedenen Arten und Weisen in denen ein Modell in alltäglichen Praxen hervorgebracht wird: als Gleichungen und Computercode, als Visualisierung, Plot, Text, oder mentales Modell. Dabei trägt jedes Format etwas Eigenes zu dem Modell bei, in einer Art des produktiven nicht-ausgerichtet Seins. Schließlich werden den Modellen zugrunde liegende epistemologische und ontologische Annahmen über „das Soziale“, „das Natürliche“ und „das Hybride“ als separaten Sphären problematisiert – ein nötiger Schritt, um die drängenden hybriden, sozio-ökologischen Prozessen des Anthropozäns zu verstehen. Mit Bezug auf eine „Bayessche Anthropologie“ (Kockelman) wird versuchsweise eine alternative Rahmung dieser ontologischen Annahmen und der aus ihnen folgenden Probleme des Schlussfolgerns vorgeschlagen.
    Abstract: This thesis builds on exploratory ethnographic research with an interdisciplinary research group that constructed mathematical models and computer simulations of complex socio-ecological transformations. In giving a detailed and empirically grounded account of modelling practices in a specific setting this work develops a basic understanding of modelling practices from the perspective of social anthropology and Science and Technology Studies. It operationalizes several concepts such as bifurcation, degree of irreversibility and alignment. Theoretical discussions concern collectivity in scientific practice, epistemology of computer simulations, materiality in experiments, laboratory studies and ontology. Building and running models can be described as a process of iteratively and continuously aligning model formats through material-semiotic practices of simplification, experimentation and visualization. These practices are each related to some model formats more than to others. The notion of “format” captures the different ways in which “the model” appears in everyday practices: as equations and code, but also as visualizations, plots of model output, descriptive text in a paper and as mental models. In a productive misalignment, each format contributes something particular to the model. Finally, this work problematizes underlying epistemological and ontological assumptions about “the social”, “the natural” and “the hybrid” as separate spheres, which is necessary in order to come to terms with hybrid, socio-ecological processes as they become more and more pressing in the Anthropocene. With reference to “Bayesian Anthropology” (Kockelman) it tentatively suggests an alternative framing of these ontological assumptions and the resulting problems of inference.

    Abstract: Diese Dissertation beschäftigt sich mit der Komplexität von Familienverläufen und beinhaltet vier empirische Studien. Die erste Studie untersucht, ob sich Familienverläufe in Geburtskohorten und Ländern unterscheiden, und ob sie mehr über die Zeit oder die Länder hinweg variieren. Anhand der SHARELIFE Daten wird ein Verfahren entwickelt, indem Komplexitätsmaße aus der Sequenzanalyse mit der Mehrebenenmodellierung zusammengeführt werden. Die zweite Studie untersucht, ebenfalls auf Basis der SHARELIFE Daten, folgende Fragen: Wie hängen Familienpolitik und -komplexität zusammen, und wird dieser Zusammenhang durch den Zeitpunkt des Eintreffens der jeweiligen Familienpolitik im Lebensverlauf moderiert? Um den Zusammenhang zwischen Familisierungs-, Defamilisierungs-, und Liberalisierungsindezes und Komplexität zu schätzen, werden weitere Datenquellen herangezogen. Die Zusammenhänge zwischen den Indizes und Komplexität werden mit Länder- und Kohorten Fixed-Effects geschätzt. Das dritte Kapitel untersucht auf Basis der NLSY79 und NLSY97 Daten den Zusammenhang zwischen elterlichen Ressourcen und Komplexität im jungen Erwachsenenalter, und ob sich dieser über Kohorten hinweg verändert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Komplexität eher bei jungen Erwachsenen aus benachteiligten Familien angestiegen ist. Das vierte Kapitel verwendet Lebensverlaufs- und genetische Daten aus den USA (HRS) und ermittelt die Erblichkeit von Komplexität mittels GCTA. Es wird geschlussfolgert, dass die Zunahme von Komplexität, auch in den USA, relativ gering ist und Länderunterschiede viel bedeutsamer sind. Nicht kulturelle Veränderungen, sondern zunehmende ökonomische Unsicherheit und sozialpolitische Institutionen scheinen die wichtigsten Faktoren für kohorten- und länderspezifische Komplexitätsunterschiede zu sein. Abschließend lässt sich festhalten, dass genetische Faktoren die Komplexität ebenfalls beeinflussen und ihre Berücksichtigung die Vorhersagekraft von statistischen Modellen erhöhen kann.
    Abstract: This dissertation on family life course complexity revolves around four empirical studies. The first chapter investigates how family life courses vary across birth cohorts, how family life courses vary across countries, and whether family life courses vary more across birth cohorts or across countries. This study uses SHARELIFE and combines sequence complexity metrics with cross-classified multilevel modeling to quantify the proportion of variance attributable to cohort and country differences. The second chapter also uses SHARELIFE to address two research questions: what is the association between family policies and complexity and does the timing of family policies within the life course moderate this association? Data sources are combined to estimate the relationships between three family policy dimensions - familization, defamilization, and liberalization - and complexity. The associations between my policy indexes and complexity are estimated using country and time fixed effects regression models. The third chapter asks what is the association between parental resources and the early family life course complexity and has the association between parental resources and complexity changed across birth cohorts. NLSY79 and NLSY97 data show that complexity is higher among disadvantaged young adults. The fourth chapter applies life history and genetic data from the HRS to a GCTA to study the heritability of complexity. It is concluded that the increase in complexity, even in the United States, is relatively small and cross-national variation seems to be much more important. Rather than ideational change, increasing economic uncertainty and differences in national institutional arrangements are the most important factors for cross-national and cross-cohort differences in complexity. Finally, genetic factors matter for the complexity of individuals’ family life courses and could likely contribute to the predictive power of future statistical models.

    Abstract: This article addresses the question of how to go beyond the conceptualisation of museums as islands in museum ethnography without losing the ethnographic depth and insights that such research can provide. Discussing existing ethnographic research in museums, the ethnographic turn in organization studies, and methodological innovation that seeks to go beyond bounded locations in anthropology, we offer a new museum methodology that retains ethnography’s capacity to grasp the often overlooked workings of organizational life – such as the informal relations, uncodified activities, chance events and feelings – while also avoiding ‘methodological containerism’, that is, the taking of the museum as an organization for granted. We then present a project design for a multi-sited, multi-linked, multi-researcher ethnography to respond to this; together with its specific realisation as the Making Differences project currently underway on Berlin’s Museum Island. Drawing on three sub-projects of this large ethnography – concerned with exhibition-making in the Museum of Islamic Art, in the Ethnological Museum in preparation for the Humboldt Forum (a high profile and contested cultural development due to open in 2019) and a new exhibition about Berlin, also for the Humboldt Forum – we highlight the importance of what happens beyond the ‘container,’ the discretion of what we even take to be the ‘container’, and how ‘organization-ness’ of various kinds is ‘done’ or ‘achieved’. We do this in part through an analysis of organigrams at play in our research fields, showing what these variously reveal, hide and suggest. Understanding museums, and organizations more generally, in this way, we argue, brings insight both to some of the specific developments that we are analysing as well as to museum and organization studies more widely.

    Abstract: Globale und interdependente Phänomene rücken in den letzten 20 Jahren vermehrt ins Blickfeld der Kulturanthropologie. Ausgehend von ihrer fachspezifischen Methodik, der teilnehmenden Beobachtung, widmet sich die anthropologische Globalisierungsforschung nun vermehrt globalen Verbindungen und Machtverhältnissen. Basierend auf einer zweimonatigen Feldforschung im Norden Kameruns, diskutiert die Arbeit Verflochtene Stoffe – Ethnographie einer globalen Assemblage globale Interdependenzen und Globalisierungsprozesse an dem empirischen Beispiel des 2011 im Tschadbecken entstandenen informellen Baumwollhandels. Postkolonialen Theoretiker_innen folgend, analysiert die Arbeit die gegenwärtigen Globalisierungsprozesse vor dem Hintergrund kolonialer Ausbeutung und imperialer Herrschaft. Räumlich entfernte Akteur_innen und Institutionen haben im Kontext von Kolonialismus, Neokolonialismus und Neoliberalisierung den kamerunischen Baumwollsektor mitgeprägt und einen Einfluss auf das Leben der Baumwollproduzenten entwickelt. Auch aktuell findet der Verkauf von Baumwolle auf den globalisierten Rohstoffmärkten vor dem Hintergrund ungleicher Machtverhältnisse statt. Der kamerunische Baumwollproduzent scheint an keiner Stelle die Möglichkeit zu haben, aktiv an den Aushandlungsprozessen des offiziellen Baumwollhandels teilzunehmen. In diesem Kontext lässt sich der informelle Baumwollhandel, der von einem im Winter 2010/11 entstehenden transnationalen Netzwerk verschiedener Akteur_innen organisiert wurde und innerhalb weniger Monate den Verkauf von 26.000 Tonnen Baumwolle von Kamerun nach Nigeria ermöglichte, als Einschreiben in globale Aushandlungsprozesse verstehen. In der Arbeit findet somit eine Analyse wirtschaftlicher und politischer Prozesse statt, wobei auf die machtvollen Strukturen globaler Märkte, (neo)kolonialer Abhängigkeiten und der subalternen Position der Produzenten im globalen Süden eingegangen wird. Anhand des Phänomens des informellen Baumwollhandels wird aber auch deutlich, dass die Subalternen aktiv handelnde Akteur_innen der Globalisierung sind.
    Abstract: Over the last twenty years anthropology became more interested in global and interdependent phenomena. The emerging anthropological research on globalization processes often focusses on global connections and power relations while still following the discipline’s original method of participant observation. Based on a two month field research in the North of Cameroon, the Master thesis Entangled Cotton – An Ethnography of a Global Assemblage discusses global interdependencies and processes of globalization while focusing on the empirical example of informal cotton trade emerging in 2011 in the Chad Basin. Following postcolonial approaches, the paper analyses present globalization processes against the backdrop of colonial exploitation and imperial ruling. In the contexts of colonialism, neocolonialism and neoliberalization, different actors from very different geographical locations shaped the Cameroonian cotton sector and influenced the lives of cotton producers. While sharing the assumption that today’s cotton trade is shaped by the unequal power relations of a globalized market in which the Cameroonian cotton producers seem to have little chance to defend their interests, the paper goes on to argue that a temporarily emerging informal transnational cotton trade in the Chad Basin allowed the latter to actively take part in the negotiation processes. Based on a transnational network of diverse actors, the informal trade emerged in 2010/11 and allowed for around 26.000 tons of cotton to be exported from Cameroon to Nigeria in only a few months. The Master thesis analyses economical and political processes while focusing on the powerful structures of globalized markets, (neo)colonial dependencies and the subaltern position of producers in the global south. The analyzed phenomena of informal transnational cotton trade thereby shows how subalterns are active agents of globalization processes.

    Abstract: The concept of infrastructure refers to the embedded, often invisible technical support structures that help to deliver services to a population or organization, most commonly water, energy, and information. Infrastructures mediate human interaction and shape social organization. Anthropology has developed a relational perspective on infrastructures analyzing them as the ongoing interweaving of embodied social and political choices, moral orders, and technical networks. This approach has much to offer for anthropologists, because it is largely based on ethnographic research, shows a deep commitment to materiality as practice and provides a productive way of thinking through the changing relations of center and periphery. It is an area of research with important intersections into the information sciences and urban studies.

    Abstract: The molecular biological field of epigenetics has recently attracted attention not only in biology, but also in the broader scientific community and the popular press. Commentators paint a very heterogeneous picture with some arguing that epigenetics is nothing but another aspect of gene regulation, and others enthusiastically proclaiming a paradigmatic shift in developmental biology. This article analyses a particular approach to environmental epigenetics – a subfield of epigenetics that is central to the recent excitement. The focus lies on an ethnographic analysis of research practices that enable a particular lab group to study the impact of different levels of context, for example, changes in the social and material environment, on epigenetic modification and thus phenotypic variation. The article argues that changes in the practice of doing epigenetic biology contribute to a molecularisation of biography and milieu, suggest the configuration of somatic sociality and produce a different concept of the body: the embedded body. This article concludes with a brief discussion of customary biology as a potential new research agenda at the interface of material and social inquiry.

    Abstract: This short contribution is a response to Robert Prus' commentary paper "Ethnographic Comparisons, Complexities and Conceptualities.'' We agree with many of the points raised and merely reiterate three aspects of our position in order to reinforce the unique features of our notion of thick comparison: First, ethnography has an important role to play in social inquiry. Second, ethnographers appropriate fields by getting involved in them. This involvement enables the production of comparability, which we do not understand to be an inherent quality of the world. Third, producing comparability is an ongoing process at the heart of thick comparison. Its failure and limitations are productive.
