Denne artikel udspringer af spørgsmålet om, hvordan man som antropolog kan arbejde med fremtiden som forskningsobjekt, når det, som man ønsker at undersøge, endnu ikke er og derfor ej heller kan observeres med klassiske antropologiske metoder. Artiklens formål er at præsentere mini-public som en alternativ metode til kvalitativ dataindsamling og vidensformidling i antropologisk forskning af fremtidsscenarier. Dette sker ved en beskrivelse af et mini-public-event, der blev afviklet for frivillige repræsentanter fra forskellige samfundsgrupper i Aarhus i efteråret 2018 som led i et større tværfagligt forskningsprojekt på Aarhus Universitet om udviklingen og brugen af sociale robotter. Søgeord: metodediskussion, fremtidsteknologier, eksperimenterende metoder, sociale robotter, „foreign entanglements“

The Impact

Political parties have long thrived on systematic grassroots mobilization of support. But does traditional partisan bottom-up mobilization still matter in an interconnected digital age turning the world into a `global village'? We address this question by studying the impact of the populist Movimento Cinque Stelle (M5S) on the rejection of the 2016 constitutional referendum in Italy. The movement's unusual practice to coordinate activities on a public event platform provides a unique opportunity to collect the complete event history of a modern political party. We merge this data consisting of over 200'000 geo-coded meetings by 1'000 local chapters with referendum results and individual panel data. Relying on regression, matching, and instrumental variable models, we find a small but consistent effect of M5S activity on the referendum outcome. Our findings demonstrate the continued relevance of bottom-up mobilization and highlight direct democratic means as an influential channel for populist movements.

The Village

The article deals with food, time and space parameters of the Beserman Maslenitsa ("butter week, crepe week") rite Machencha / Machincha in the folk calendar and their transformation in the modern rite. The time parameters of the holiday were limited by the week of the Maslenitsa, the last week before the Great Lent, which regulated the beginning and end of the ceremony, some types of works, forms of entertainment and meals. Spatial parameters of the ritual, as well as the movement (sledging) had a producing character, aimed at obtaining a good harvest (flax), and are associated with women's crafts. During the Maslenitsa days, the objects of the landscape - mountain, street, village center - were the places of festive sledgings, festivities and meetings. Maslenitsa rituals reflected the social changes of some residents and honours of members of the village community, family, social and age groups in their new status - newlyweds, young women, girls and boys of marriageable age. Meals, visits to relatives and festive walk rounds of the village's youth were part of the celebration. The main dish of the festival were small flatcakes named taban' made of yeast dough. Modern Maslenitsa as a public event refers to the holiday «Farewell of the Russian winter», with changes of the spatial, temporal and nutritional parameters of the traditional rite. The article is based on field materials and observation of the modern rite.

Local Ecology

This chapter concerns the process through which Luiz Gonzaga’s voice--recorded, disseminated, and popularized by a national music industry--became a vehicle for the transmission of ecological knowledge about rain, drought, and the meaning of birdsong. Into the twenty-first century, rain prophets, who announce their observation-based forecasts at a public event in the backlands each January, take inspiration from Gonzaga’s mass-mediated songs, sometimes referring to the song’s lyrics when discussing knowledge about the weather. In doing so, they assert their trust in local ecological knowledge over other kinds of institutionally sanctioned knowledge about the local ecology.

Digital Artifact

uTurn is a digital art installation that allows interaction inside a cinema-like environment or a similar public space — an exhibition system in the context of an audience, retrieving an elected media from the choices made by the majority of the public. The software in its core manages the selection — a meta-remediation that elects a media block, in the form of short-story movies (Vidbits) to be watched by a crowd. The interaction model assumes the need to find a preference in the viewing room in order to identify and choose the next Vidbit. The system allows navigation through media blocks in environments like a cinema room, a summer festival, or a public event. It can be configured to support visual concepts, or to integrate a narrative system in which other types of structures in the story demand that the content follows a segmentation of media. uTurn was exhibited during the 5th Artech International Conference, in 2015. The article addresses the creative process towards the production of the digital artifact using Apple's Quartz Composer.
