At the Edge of AI
How are human computation systems developed in the field of citizen science to achieve what neither humans nor computers can do alone? Through multiple perspectives and methods, Libuse Hannah Veprek examines the imagination of these assemblages, their creation, and everyday negotiation in the interplay of various actors and play/science entanglements at the edge of AI. Focusing on their human-technology relations, this ethnographic study shows how these formations are marked by intraversions, as they change with technological advancements and the actors' goals, motivations, and practices. This work contributes to the constructive and critical ethnographic engagement with human-AI assemblages in the making.
The Sensorium of the Drone and Communities
A comprehensive overview of how civilian drones sense the world and how they build the aesthetic imaginaries of our communities. Drone technology has garnered critical attention across many fields, from engineering to the humanities. While the first wave of drone scholarship was key in initiating the debate on drones, it also privileged the idea of the “scopic regime”—a militarized regime of hypervisuality—in its analyses of the connection between vision and power. The Sensorium of the Drone and Communities broadens the drone’s spectrum of perception by acknowledging its creative, life-affirming possibility with the notion of the sensorium. The sensorium of the drone is a multimedi...
Zeit
Die Zeitlichkeit von Kultur bildet eine grundsätzliche Prämisse empirisch-kulturwissenschaftlicher Forschung. Kultur verändert sich innerhalb der Zeit und strukturiert gleichzeitig Vorstellungen von Temporalität. Die Speicherung von Wissen und Traditionen über längere oder kürzere Zeiträume formiert kulturelle Identitäten und sorgt für eine permanente Dynamik von Kultur. Dies ermöglicht eine kulturelle Positionierung des Menschen gegenüber Vergangenheit und Zukunft sowie laufenden gesellschaftlichen Herausforderungen. Der vorliegende Band bündelt die Beiträge des 43. Kongresses der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Empirische Kulturwissenschaft (DGEKW), der im April 2022 an der Universität Regensburg stattfand. Er versucht, eine tiefere Auseinandersetzung mit Zeit als prinzipieller Kategorie in der Formierung und Erforschung gegenwärtiger und historischer Kulturen anzuregen.
International Handbook of Practical Theology
Practical theology has outgrown its traditional pastoral paradigm. The articles in this handbook recognize that faith, spirituality, and lived religion, within and beyond institutional communities, refer to realms of cultures, ritual practices, and symbolic orders, whose boundaries are not clearly defined and whose contents are shifting. The International Handbook of Practical Theology offers insightful transcultural conceptions of religion and religious matters gathered from various cultures and traditions of faith. The first section presents ‘concepts of religion’. Chapters have to do with considerations of the conceptualizing of religion in the fields of ‘anthropology’, ‘communi...
Against the Background of Social Reality
The first wide-ranging, organic analysis of the sociology of unmarkedness and taken-for-grantedness, this volume investigates the asymmetry between how we attend to the culturally emphasized features of social reality and ignore the culturally unmarked ones. Concerned with the structures of cultural invisibility, unconscious rules of irrelevance, automatic frames of meaning, and collective attention patterns, it brings together scholarship spanning sociology, anthropology, and social psychology, to cover various aspects of humdrum, unglamorous, nondescript, nothing-to-write-at-home-about social phenomena, developing the key assumptions, underpinnings, and implications of this field of study. As comprehensive analysis of unremarked features of our social existence, this book will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in social theory and the sociology of everyday life.
Metropolitan Intimacies
In Metropolitan Intimacies: An Ethnography on the Poetics of Daily Life, Francisco Cruces examines intimacy and meaning-making in metropolitan residents’ daily lives. An ethnography based on rich micro-stories, Cruces situates life poetics amongst other metropolitan processes in three major cities—Madrid, Montevideo, and Mexico City—to reveal the complex meanings around modern urbanity.

Praktiken in/der Versammlung
Körper konstituieren eine Versammlung, indem sie ein Stück Zeit und ein Stück Raum für sich beanspruchen, um zu tun, wozu auch immer sie sich zusammengefunden haben. Spätestens unter dem Eindruck von physical distancing und weitreichenden Kontaktbeschränkungen in Zeiten der COVID-19-Pandemie wird offensichtlich, dass ein solches Verständnis von Versammlung, das sich auf Momente physischer Kopräsenz stützt, schnell ins Leere läuft: Versammlungen haben eben auch als räumlich distribuierte statt, ihr Raum und ihre Zeit können in unterschiedlichen Graden virtualisiert sein. Die Möglichkeiten und Wirkungen des Versammelns sind nicht so konsistent und selbstverständlich, wie sie auf ...
