Contestations of 'the Social' – Towards a Movement-based Ethnographic Social (State) Regime Analysis (DFG Emmy Noether-Forschungsgruppe, Projektnummer 490697580)
This project sets out to analyze current transformations of social (state) regimes in crises-ridden cities of the Global North. The researchers will collaborate closely with multilingual community organizations of precarious workers and unemployed people. By looking at contestations of ‘the social’, the research group aims to contribute conceptually to anthropological and interdisciplinary debates on transformations of the welfare state, the precarization of life and labour, current conjunctures of racism, migration regimes, policy making processes and movement-based research methodologies.
