Yonatan N. Gez, Francis Ngure in Keren Kuenberg: Tracing the afterlives of international development: methodological directions and case studies from Kenya, 24. 2. 2026
Pridružite se nam 24. februarja ob 16:20 na navdihujočem gostujočem predavanju z ekipo ERC AfDevLives – dr. Yonatanom N. Gezom, Francisom Ngurejem in Keren Kuenberg (CEI-Iscte, Univerzitetni inštitut v Lizboni) – na katerem bomo metodološko razmišljali o tem, kako preučevati dolgoročne posledice sprememb ter kako se te zaznavajo in doživljajo v vsakdanjem življenju.
Predavanje bo potekalo v okviru projekta HORIZON MSCA DeepLandS ter doktorskega študijskega predmeta Metodološki izzivi etnološkega in antropološkega raziskovanja.

Povzetek:
What are the material and immaterial remains of past international development projects, and which paths are available for social scientists for studying them? ERC Starting Grant AfDevLives explores how such remains are experienced, employed, and re-appropriated by local actors over time, and how such active immanence of the past affects people's life-worlds. It weaves together three temporal gazes: prospective (development's blueprints); retrospective (sediments of the past, shorthanded as interventions' 'afterlives'); and present-time lived experiences. Inspired by phenomenological ideas and affect theory, Project AfDevLives explores methodological directions for capturing the overlaying complexity of being-in-a-place by incorporating creative and experimental methods involving walking, drawing, photography, and audio, and by emphasizing participatory approaches to research. The project is based at the Centre for International Studies at Iscte – University Institute of Lisbon, with research conducted in Kenya, Tanzania, and Mozambique. This lecture will present Project AfDevLives, focusing in particular on its methodological directions. These directions will be demonstrated through two concrete case studies, both from Kenya.
