First description of the project:
Place: Novosibirsk, Russia
Time Period: January to June 2003
The object of my study is the field of “social suffering” and the nature of
its interpretation and expression from the point of departure of the experience
of people themselves. I would like to look at people’s expectations (real or
imagined) and to people’s abilities to influence the conditions of their
lives.
- What is the relationship between ideas and
practices?
- Is there a particularly Russian way of expressing suffering?
- Is this also a question of gender, social strata or a generational one?
Methodological approach:
Narratives, autobiographies and informal interviews. I would like to, if access
is possible, visit institutions, such as prisons, elderly homes or boarding
schools.
My topic is related to the anthropology of violence, of social suffering, phenomenology; the anthropology of eastern Europe, Narratives and hermeneutics.
