The core aim of this project is to understand new politics of performative citizenship and public (un)making in multicultural settings.

  1st International Conference on Anthropology and Urban Conflict

  Desertions, Counter-movements, and Forced Mobilizations in the Contemporary City

  The aim of this conference is to make an inventory and to analyze, from different ethnographic approaches, those often invisible phenomena of daily or extraordinary disobedience designed for, or inspired by, a rejection of spatial, economic, political, and social order. However, in order to identify them as mechanisms aimed at denouncing a particular order, we must approach these by looking at concepts that synthesize at once the processes that impose a homogeneous order as well as the practices that challenge it.
