    Oddity Nr. 23 – Multiple Spatialities
    Aug 28 2024
    In der 23. Episode berichten SFB-Sprecherin Prof. Martina Löw (B03: Smart People) und SFB-Doktorandin Eva Korte (A05: Zuhause) von ihren Eindrücken und Beobachtungen in Nairobi, Kenia. Mit Multiple Spatialities fokussiert der SFB 1265 die Pluralität und Gleichzeitigkeit unterschiedlicher räumlich-kultureller Figurationen spezifischer Gesellschaften. Am Beispiel Nairobis thematisieren wir die Konstitution des öffentlichen Raumes, die Dominanz des Bahnraumes, das Schicksal der Kikuyu sowie zentrale Unterschiede im Home-Making und in der Zeitlichkeit im Vergleich zu deutschen Gesellschaften.

    Oddity Nr. 22 – Ukrainian Displacement
    Jun 3 2024
    In this episode, Jeannine Teichert, Postdoc at the University of Paderborn and visiting researcher at CRC1265, talks to research associate Zoé Perko about the unique home-making processes of displaced Ukrainians amid the 2022 full-scale Russian invasion. They explore the relationship between home-making practices and the concept of "shuttle refuge", where Ukrainians move back and forth between their home and host countries, navigating physical and digital spaces of (in)security.

  • Oddity Nr. 20 – Spaces of Resistance

    Oddity Nr. 20 – Spaces of Resistance
    Mar 18 2024
    In this episode, and in the context of our summer school "Power and Space," we talk with four activists about spaces of resistance, and we hear from two researchers about their reactions to what we have been discussing. The activists share their stories, lessons learned, and thoughts on everyday activism. Together with our colleagues, we try to understand how actors create spaces that are used as tools of resistance, and how these spaces are formed through social (collective) action, communication and networking, where relationships of solidarity and cohesion emerge.

  • Oddity Nr. 19 – An Atlas of Spatial Figures

    Oddity Nr. 19 – An Atlas of Spatial Figures
    Feb 12 2024
    “An Atlas of Spatial Figures" is the title of the forthcoming publication (to be released in autumn 2024) by CRC 1265 subproject PIs Ignacio Farias and Silke Steets. The book gathers over 40 stories of CRC 1265 researchers discovering new spatial figures in addition to the four previously identified dominant spatial figures. For the book project, they collaborated with Viennese artist Nikolaus Gansterer in multimodal workshops. This episode is an excerpt from a performance lecture, which took place at the international symposium "Spatial Figures in the Anthropocene" at the ICI Berlin in October 2023. It provides insights into the concept of the book and two performed "vectors of refiguration" through two stories and the spatial figures they express.

Together they reflect on the "Rhodes Must Fall" student protests and new forms of social activism, as well as on the question of a potential directionality from digital to physical space, how queer spaces are represented on Instagram or TikTok in the South African context, and what it means to decolonize research and digital methods.
