Projects of the third funding period
THEMATIC AREA: MOBILIZING
In the thematic area Mobilizing, we will investigate how the practices and discourses of activist engagement give rise to designs and imaginaries of social coexistence. This for example concerns processes of activist mobilizations, alliances, and global affective communalizations, also it can mean demarcations from or subordinations to established institutions.

- D03: Mobilizing Carescapes
- D04: Affective Contestation
THEMATIC AREA: NEGOTIATING
