Anthropological Contributions to the Covid-19 Crisis: Svašek

July 23 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Anthropological Contributions to the Covid-19 Crisis

A VIRTUAL SEMINAR SERIES BY THE ROYAL ANTHROPOLOGICAL INSITUTE

Thursday 23 July 2020 at 3pm (BST)

Lockdown: Sociality, Materiality and Placemaking
Dr Maruška Svašek, Queen’s University Belfast

A video of the event is available here

Drawing on previous research into human mobility, emotional interaction and material mediation (Svašek 2018; 2016; 2012a; 2012b; Svašek and Komarova 2018), this talk explores how the current Coronavirus Crisis is influencing relations between people, places and things. How do people, many of them self-isolating, (fail to) create and negotiate sociality and well-being? In the process, how do material objects, including consumption goods, communication devices, and travel documents afford and mediate movements within, between and beyond people’s dwellings?

This will be held on Zoom. To register please go to https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_5kDVcXlLRvy3Rqxopq0s1w
