On 5-6 May, the Anthropologies of Sustainability research group hosted the workshop Care and repair: temporalities of securing life in the urban in the network “Confluencing urban thought to rethink the city - Franco-Nordic conversations” in the beautiful premises of Det Kongelige Norske Videnskabers Selskab (DKNVS). The workshop is part of a longer project seeking to rethink the urban from both Nordic, French, and more global perspectives. The project is organised by Bjørn Enge Bertelsen (UiB), Antonella Di Trani (ENSA – Paris-Val de Seine), and Morten Nielsen (National Museum of Denmark).
Antonella Di Trani, Arthur Mason, Gitte Koksvik, Irmelin Joelsson, Jon Rasmus Nyquist, Knut Christian Myhre, Lars Lyby, Morten Nielsen and Sigurd de Lichtenberg Rud presented wonderful papers dedicated to questions of care, repair, temporalities, and the urban. Thank you so much for coming to Trondheim and presenting your work!
The project is generously funded by Centre Universitaire de Norvège à Paris and Fondation Maison des Sciences de l’Homme. This was the fourth and final workshop in the small network-building venture, in Trondheim organised by Irmelin Joelsson (NTNU) on behalf of project, with additional support from Institutt for geografi og sosialantropologi, NTNU and Institutt for sosialantroplogi ved Universitetet i Bergen.
Stay tuned for more updates from the network!
