    Abstract: This introduction to the issue introduces the political dimensions of researches done in the framework of the ontological turns that stretch between Anthropology and Science and Technology Studies. Drawing on the concept of political ontology, practical ontology, and the papers assembled in this issue, we embrace the political to be practically sitting transversally in different political fields that foster the constitution of new forms of life as alternative ontologies. In this sense, politics is a critical endeavor to unravel power asymmetries and the attempt to not only illuminate alter-ontologies but to realize and co-constitute these. In order not to get trapped in a mere description of alteritarian worlds and their political power structures, we propose to focus more specifically on the largely invisible moments of ontological uncertainties. These eery moment in common but non-contemporaneity environments that appear in between of something and -time can be a learning endeavor to understand grown inheritances as responsibility. Through their appearance they jumble, further, time and ontological order, allowing us insights to automatically modes of action that stay normally unseen. In this sense, we sketch a policy of making oddkins throughout the worlds including its specters.
    Abstract: Dieser Beitrag führt in die politischen Dimensionen von Forschungen der Anthropologie und Science and Technology Studies im Bereich der ontologischen Wenden ein. Ausgehend vom Konzept der politischen Ontologie, der praktischen Ontologie und den in diesem Band versammelten Beiträgen, begreifen wir das Politische als praktisch situiert und transversal in verschiedenen politischen Feldern, die die Konstitution neuer Lebensformen als alternative Ontologien fördern. In diesem Sinne ist Politik ein kritisches Bestreben, Machtasymmetrien zu entwirren, der Versuch, alternative Ontologien nicht nur zu beleuchten, sondern diese zu realisieren und zu ko-konstituieren. Um dabei nicht in einer reinen Beschreibung alteritärer Welten und deren politischer Machstrukturen zu verharren, schlagen wir vor, gezielter die weitgehend unsichtbaren Momente ontologischer Ungewissheiten zu fokussieren. Diese unheimlichen Momente in gemeinsamen, aber nicht-gleichzeitigen Umgebungen, die im Dazwischen von Etwas und Irgendwann auftauchen, können einen Hinweis darauf bieten gewachsene Erbschaften als Verantwortung zu verstehen. Durch ihr Erscheinen bringen sie weiterhin Zeit und ontologische Ordnung durcheinander und erlauben uns Einblicke in automatisierte Handlungsweisen, die normalerweise unsichtbar bleiben. In diesem Sinne skizzieren wir ein Politikprogramm, das die Welten mitsamt ihren Gespenstern zu Verbündeten macht.

    Abstract: For a critical discussion of power asymmetries within the co-managed protection of natural resources, political ontology offers a valuable theoretical framework. Relevant studies demonstrate that sustainability cannot be determined ‘objectively’ but is deeply entangled with, and dependent on, the specific ontological constitutions of worlds. However, my case study within the Brazilian conservation area Resex Tapajós-Arapiuns also reveals the limitations of a political ontological approach, as the framework cannot completely contend with the fragmentation of social collectives and the ontological plurality of everyday enactments. Demonstrating that this blind spot is the effect of a specific analytical perspective, I argue for a practice-related reformulation. Illustrated with the empirical data of my case study, I propose the adoption of three concepts for a practice-related political ontology, namely plural ecologies, ontological consequences, and contextual assumptions.
    Abstract: Die Politischen Ontologie bietet einen wertvollen Zugang für die kritische Analyse von Machtgefügen innerhalb gemeindebasierten Naturschutzvorhaben und Co-Management natürlicher Ressourcen. Einschlägige Studien zeigen hier insbesondere, dass Nachhaltigkeit keine objektive Größe ist, sondern untrennbar mit spezifischen ontologischen Konstitutionen von Welt zusammenhängt. Doch weist mein Fallbeispiel des brasilianischen Naturschutzgebietes Resex Tapajós-Arapiuns auch auf die Grenzen Politischer Ontologie hin, vermag der theoretische Rahmen doch die Fragmentierung sozialer Kollektive und die ontologische Vielfältigkeit alltäglicher Praktiken nicht angemessen abzubilden. Diesen Schwachpunkt interpretiere ich als Effekt eines spezifischen analytischen Vorgehens und schlage vor, Politische Ontologie stattdessen praxistheoretisch auszulegen.

    Abstract: Current environmental crises disclose power hierarchies, such as within the negotiation of how to distribute natural resources. This paper focuses on the importance of acknowledging human-animal relationships and lived realities within the co-management and conservation of resources. The research draws on conflicting ontologies that can be found around salmon conservation in Southwest Alaska, especially around returning king salmon in the Kuskokwim River, which has seen a decline in numbers over the last decade. It illustrates the importance of considering the ontological constitutions of animals as beings, which renders the understanding of how human-animal relations can be maintained throughout crises. Rather than perpetuating the assumption that salmon are ‘natural’ objects, but understood and known differently by indigenous communities, the ontological approach enables us to recognize that salmon are not one entity but constituted beings in enacted worlds.
    Abstract: Die aktuellen Umweltkrisen legen Machthierarchien offen, unter anderem in den Verhandlungen um die Verteilung von natürlichen Rohstoffen. Dieser Artikel stellt Mensch-Tier Beziehungen und lokale Lebensrealitäten in den Mittelpunkt von Naturschutzmaßnahmen und der Mitverwaltung von Umweltressourcen. Er analysiert verschiedene Ontologien, die mit verstärkten Maßnahmen zum Schutz von Wildlachs im Südwesten Alaskas sichtbar wurden. Der Fokus liegt insbesondere auf den Königslachsen, die zum laichen in den Kuskokwim Fluss zurückkehren, und die im letzten Jahrzehnt fallende Bestandszahlen aufwiesen. Besondere Beachtung gilt dabei der ontologischen Konstitution der Tiere. Anstatt Lachs als ein universelles, wenn auch unterschiedlich verstandenes und kulturell gedeutetes, Naturobjekt darzustellen, möchte dieser Artikel den ontologischen Ansatz dazu nutzen, um dieses Tier als konstituiertes Lebewesen in erlebten Welten zu verstehen.

    Abstract: The restoration of the Emscher began in the 1990s. It brings us to a former centre of industrialization – the Ruhr Valley in North Rhine Westphalia, Germany – and reveals challenges of post-mining, such as pollution and subsidence. Three concepts are central to understanding the restoration of the river: landscape, temporality and value. Through three stories we investigate these notions in different constellations and ask how they can help to reimagine the river: through (1) a proud, modern, reassuring story of liberation from a dirty past into a clean and flourishing present; (2) a story celebrating maintenance, and the efforts, work and resources of the enormous underground water infrastructure that supports the health and well-being at the surface; and (3) a ruin story reimagining the eternity burden imposed by the legacy of mining, and appreciating the arts of noticing how to live carefully in this area with this history. Thinking through the three stories helps appreciate different kinds of actors, knowledges and realities attached to the Emscher’s restoration. By developing the notions of landscape, temporality and value, we propose a multi-faceted approach to distinguish between ways of enacting a post-mining’s site ontology.
    Abstract: Die Restaurierung der Emscher begann in den 1990er Jahren. Sie führt in ein ehemaliges Zentrum der Industrialisierung – das Ruhrgebiet in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Deutschland – und zeigt Herausforderungen des Nachbergbaus, etwa Verschmutzung und Absenkung. Drei Konzepte stärken das Verständnis der Restaurierung des Flusses: Landschaft, Zeitlichkeit und Wert. Anhand von drei Geschichten untersuchen wir die Konzepte in unterschiedlichen Konstellationen, und fragen, wie sie dazu beitragen können, den Fluss neu zu imaginieren: anhand (1) einer stolzen, modernen und beruhigenden Geschichte der Befreiung aus einer schmutzigen Vergangenheit in eine saubere und blühende Gegenwart; (2) anhand einer Geschichte, die die Instandhaltung und die Bemühungen einer unterirdischen Wasserinfrastruktur zelebriert, um die Gesundheit und das Wohlbefinden an der Oberfläche zu sichern; und (3) anhand einer Ruinengeschichte, die die Ewigkeitslast, die durch das Erbe des Bergbaus auferlegt wurde, neu imaginiert und die arts of noticing pflegt, wie man mit dieser Geschichte umsichtig leben kann. Die Geschichten helfen dabei, verschiedene Arten von Akteuren, Wissen und Realitäten zu würdigen, die mit der Emscher-Restaurierung verbunden sind. Indem wir die Begriffe Landschaft, Zeitlichkeit und Wert entwickeln, schlagen wir einen Ansatz vor, um zwischen Möglichkeiten zu unterscheiden, eine Ontologie der Nachbergbaulandschaft zu verwirklichen.

    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: Since the late 1980s visibility has become a currency of social recognition, and a political issue. It also brought forth a new discipline, visual culture studies, and a hotly contested debate unfolded between art history and visual culture studies over the interpretation of visual culture, whose impact can still be felt today. In this first comparative study Susanne von Falkenhausen reveals the concepts of seeing as scholarly act that underwrite these competing approaches to visuality and society, along with the agendas of identity politics that motivate them. In close readings of key texts spanning from the early 20th century to the present the author crosses expertly between American, German, and British versions of art history, cultural studies, aesthetics, and film 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.

    Abstract: A high number of legal changes accompanied the increase of people seeking asylum in Germany throughout the 18th legislative period from 2013–2017. These changes have transformed the field of humanitarian reception in Germany, especially along the axes of citizenship, integration performance and deviation from administrative and legal rules. Half of the legal measures from this period have led to differential rights for different groups of asylum seekers according to one of these three axes. The axis of citizenship has also structured the development of administrative procedures referred to as “integrated refugee management” which was established to speed up asylum seeking processes, classifying persons applying for a humanitarian residence visa in Germany into four clusters. This categorization, too, led to different entitlements regarding the admittance to state-financed German courses and integration measures focussed on education and the labour market. In this article I employ the notion of differential inclusion (Mezzadra & Neilson, 2012) to analyse these legal and administrative changes. I show that they have reshaped the substructures impacting the lives of those categorized as “genuine” and “illegitimate” refugees and thus redrawn the boundaries and created hierarchies among those seeking humanitarian protection in Germany.

    Abstract: Much social science literature on water reuse focuses on problems of acceptance and economic problems, while the spatial and political dimensions remain under-researched. This paper addresses this deficit by reformulating the issue in terms of sociospatial politics of water reuse. It does this by drawing on the work of Mollinga (2008) and the Territory Place Scale Network (TPSN) framework (Jessop et al., 2008) to develop an analytical approach to the sociospatial politics of water in general, and water reuse in particular. The paper argues that Mollinga’s understanding of water politics as contested technical/physical, organisational/ managerial and regulatory/socioeconomic planes of human interventions can be deepened through further reflection on their implications for the four sociospatial dimensions of the TPSN framework. Such a comprehensive, multidimensional approach re-imagines the politics of water reuse, providing researchers with a heuristic device to trace the interventions through which water reuse plans disrupt existing arrangements, and avoid a concern for individual preferences and simplified notions of barriers and enablers. The potential of the analytical framework is explored using an empirical illustration of water reuse politics in the Berlin-Brandenburg region in Germany.

    Series Statement: THESys Discussion Paper / IRI THESys 2017,2017,2
    DDC: 301
    Keywords: Deutschlandstipendium ; Themenklasse ; Quinoa ; sustainability ; interdisciplinary teaching ; Soziologie, Anthropologie
    Abstract: The THESys Discussion Paper “An Analysis of the Sustainability of the Increasing Consumption of Bolivian and Peruvian Quinoa at University Canteens in Berlin” represents the first report in this series compiled solely by bachelor’s and master’s students. It therefore adds an important new category to the series, one that provides a platform for innovative interdisciplinary research conducted by students. The authors are students at Humboldt-Universität’s Departments of European Ethnology, Geography, Philosophy and Physics, the Thaer-Institute of Agricultural and Horticultural Sciences as well as the School of Economics. They all are or have been members of the so-called Themenklasse Nachhaltigkeit & Globale Gerechtigkeit, (Themenklasse Sustainability & Global Justice), a year-long interdisciplinary study project at IRI THESys for fifteen students who receive a monthly scholarship from the German federal government’s Deutschlandstipendium programme. The scholarships, which reward academic excellence and social engagement, are provided by the Stiftung Humboldt-Universität, with co-funding from the Federal Ministry for Education and Research. The Themenklasse Nachhaltigkeit & Globale Gerechtigkeit has existed since 2013. Since its inception, the students of the Themenklasse have used their one year scholarship period to carry out interdisciplinary group work on questions of sustainability and global justice, under the supervision of IRI THESys scientists. In this work, which has always fallen under the larger topic of “Humboldt’s Footprint”, the students have addressed questions of great societal relevance while using the “cosmos” of their university as an area or object of study. Their work has included projects on subjects such as the sustainability of the Humboldt- Universität’s supply chains, student mobility, and official travel at the university’s geography department. The 2016/2017 cohort also decided to focus on Humboldt’s Footprint, this time addressing the question of sustainable food production and consumption. The students began by exploring and comparing different disciplinary approaches to the question of sustainability in a resource context. After determining the major differences in disciplinary approaches and perspectives, they then narrowed down the often broader, more general questions to the specific question of Quinoa consumption in university canteens. During many long meetings and discussions, and with only brief inputs from their supervisors, the students explored the multi-faceted problem of how to assess Quinoa as a product, including its production, transport and consumption. They took approaches to this question of sustainable quinoa consumption that ranged from empirical quantitative work to a normative approach. This report presents an initial summary and synthesis of the outcomes of this work. It is not a final report, as the work of the 2017/2018 cohort will continue to examine this topic. In a June 2017 workshop, the group presented their work to fellow students and explored how this topic could be further refined and developed, e.g. to regionally differentiate the economic and social impacts of the diffusion of quinoa production. As the supervisors of this work, we are excited to learn about the next group of new ideas and to see the outcomes of the next steps in this analysis. We therefore want to express our gratitude to Stiftung Humboldt-Universität for their constant support, which has been essential to ensuring the continuity of the work of this group of talented and enthusiastic young researchers.

    Abstract: This article takes an historical perspective on current attempts to ‘open up’ established, centralized systems of urban infrastructure to alternative technologies designed to minimize resource use and environmental pollution. The process of introducing alternative technologies into, or alongside, centralized urban infrastructures is not a novel phenomenon, as is often assumed. The physical and institutional entrenchment of large technical systems for urban energy, water or sanitation services in industrialized countries in the late 19th and early 20th centuries did not close the door completely on alternatives. I investigate a number of alternative technologies used in Berlin in the interwar period (1920–1939), in order to reveal the rationales developed around each technology and the ways in which each emerged, disappeared and re-emerged or survived across highly diverse political regimes. The selection of cases is guided by the desire to illustrate three different phenomena of alternative technology diffusion (and exclusion) experienced in Berlin: (1) technologies promoted by early pioneers and discarded by their successors (waste-to-energy), (2) technologies modifying traditional practices that were at odds with modernized systems (wastewater reuse for agriculture) and (3) technologies co-existing alongside the dominant centralized system throughout the 20th century (cogeneration). The empirical findings are interpreted with reference to their contribution to scholarship on urban socio-technical transitions.

    Abstract: This paper uses an empirical analysis of a water conflict in the German state of Brandenburg to explore diverse constructions of vulnerability to water scarcity by local stakeholders. It demonstrates how, in the absence of effective formal institutions, these constructions are getting translated into conflictual resilience strategies practiced by these stakeholders, creating situations in which “your resilience is my vulnerability”. The novel contribution of the paper to resilience research is threefold. Firstly, it illustrates how the vulnerability and resilience of a socio-ecological system—such as small catchment—are socially constructed; that is, how they are not given but rather the product of stakeholders’ perceptions of threats and suitable responses to them. Secondly, the paper emphasizes the role of institutions—both formal and informal—in framing these vulnerability constructions and resilience strategies. Particular attention is paid to the importance of informal ‘rules in use’ emerging in the wake of (formal) ‘institutional voids’ and how they work against collective solutions. Thirdly, by choosing a small-scale, commonplace dispute to study vulnerability and resilience, the paper seeks to redress the imbalance of resilience research (and policy) on dramatic disaster events by revealing the relevance of everyday vulnerabilities, which may be less eye-catching but are far more widespread.

    Abstract: Since the end of the 19th century, social scientists, such as Georg Simmel and Max Weber in particular, have been engaged in developing theoretical concepts aimed at providing insight into the economic and socio-cultural significance of the (European) city. These concepts gained in prominence at the end of the 20th century, with the notion of the European city coming under pressure mainly due to the influence of the globalization of economic processes. The viability of the accepted model of the European city is now at stake.

    Abstract: Social change is currently occurring in three directions: political democratisation, economic globalisation, and the spread of postmodern culture. The consequent problems cannot be treated by any of the three known methods of macrosocial regulation: the state, the market, the community. ‘Civil society’ has been assigned the role of synthetic and pluralistic rationalisation.
    Abstract: Sozialer Wandel, ob akriv geplant oder passiv erlebt, folgt in unserer Gegenwart weltweit drei Grundlinien: der politischen Demokratisierung, der ökonomischen Globalisierung und der Ausbreitung des kulturellen Postmodernismus. Die Probleme, die durch diese drei Trends verursacht werden, können nicht durch einen der drei Typen von Strategien allein gelöst werden, die für makrosoziale Ordnungsleistungen zur Verfügung stehen: Sie können weder durch staatliche Herrschaft noch durch den Markt noch durch gemeinschaftliches Handeln bewältigt werden. Die »Zivilgesellschaft“ wird als die Instanz einer synthetischen und pluralistischen Rationalität beschrieben, die dafür sorgt, daß weder ein Übermaß noch ein Defizit dieser drei Elemente sozialer Ordnung resultiert.
    Abstract: Dans nos sociétés, le changement social suit trois directions : démocratisation politique, globalisation économique et diffusion de la culture postmoderne. Les problèmes qui prennent origine dans l'un ou l'autre de ces trois mouvements ne peuvent être traités par aucun des trois modes de régulation macrosociale connus, pouvoir d'État, marché, action de communauté. La « société civile ” se voit assigner le rôle d'être une instance de rationalisation synthétique et pluraliste.
