Moving Matters

В понедельник, 19 мая, в 16.00 в Центре Независимых социологических исследований состоится лекция Сьюзан Оссман "Moving Matters: From Mobile Fieldwork to Art in Motion".

Travel and mobility are increasingly easy for many people: yet "immigrants" are perceived as a major political problem the world over. Notions of global citizenship and cosmopolitanism have been developed to account for emerging forms of political and social consciousness, but how are these "perspectives" produced by actual experiences of travel or migration and the diverse social and institutional arrangements people on the move encounter? Intrigued by stories of immigration and perplexed by how they rarely jibed with theoretical accounts of the global nomad or cosmopolitan, Susan Ossman proposed that particular experiences of mobility lead people to develop common ways of telling their stories, conceiving of themselves and the world. In Moving Matters, Paths of Serial Migration (Stanford, 2013) she develops a new paradigm for migration studies, and more broadly, for thinking about the interplay of politics, subjectivity and mobility.

The book inspired artists, actors, writers and musicians whose lives have stretched across countries and continents to join in Moving Matters: A Traveling Workshop. Taking Ossman's book as a point of departure, they progressively develop artworks in venues across the world, as though retracing their experiences of serial migration. This has led to a new, stage o research in which the difference moving makes becomes the subject of a collaborative endeavor.

В своей работе Сьюзан Оссман сочетает антропологические и арт-проекты. Ее выступление заинтересует не только социальных исследователей, но и художников и кураторов выставок, связанных с проблематикой миграции и мобильности.

Лекция проводится при поддержке Центра культурных исследований постсоциализма ИСИМО КФУ и в рамках семинара "Транснациональные и миграционные исследования" Факультета антропологии ЕУСПб.

Место проведения: ЦНСИ, Лиговский пр., 87, офис 300 (конференц-зал)
