Transforming Solidarities. Practices and infrastructures in the migration society
Goals
The aim of the project is to gain a better understanding of the specific logics of the formation and negotiation of solidarity in these fields in intensive cooperation with actors from urban society. In this way, we want to contribute to an empirically based social theory of transformative and transforming solidarities in order to promote the development of alternative practices and infrastructures that enable solidarity in the globalized migration society.
In this context, we understand labour, housing and health as central areas of the widely diagnosed crisis of social reproduction in which solidarities are politically, socially and materially negotiated today. In view of the challenge to answer the questions of social cohesion anew and under the conditions of digitality, migration and locally articulating global influences, the project aims at new ways of collaborative and transdisciplinary knowledge generation.
Partners
The project is funded by the Berlin University Alliance within the Main Call Exploration Project "Social Cohesion" and consists of 22 members of Berlin universities (TU/FU/HU/Charité) from different disciplines such as architecture, European ethnology, gender studies, critical migration research, philosophy and sociology.
The project works closely with various practical partners from Berlin's urban society. From the BIM, Manuela Bojadžijev, Bernd Kasparek, Moritz Altenried and Antonia Welch Guerra are part of the project.
