Survivalist Anthropology

This chapter looks at postapocalyptic fiction that brackets the direct, immediately productive relationship between occupation and mentation. It explains how postapocalyptic fiction posits the need for constant ontological practice as a prerequisite of survival, which is considered an adversarial strategy in posthuman survivalist fiction. It also refers to Octavia Butler's Parable novels, wherein the Earthseed writings of her protagonist that sustain eucharistic functions of community creation and group adhesion in an unstable world. The chapter elaborates Earthseed's ontological claims as a requirement for admission to the survivor group and as an understanding that human beings' relationships with one another are directly commensurate with their relationships to other living beings. It analyzes Butler's figure of the Sower that fulfills the organic meaning of apokalypsis.

Non-professionals on the professional stage: Aesthetics of the ordinary in the contemporary theatre and dance

The article explores the tendency of inviting non-professional artists to contemporary theatre and dance performances. From the examples of the Rimini Protokoll, Jérôme Bel, Nicole Seiler, Tatyana Gordeeva, Vsevolod Lisovsky and Dmitry Volkostrelov performances it is shown how the participation of “ordinary” people serves aesthetic and ethical purposes of the stage directors and choreographers. Ordinary bodies, gestures and voices in contemporary theatre are valued as manifesting the extra-institutional identity of the participants, namely, a professional or social one, with which the spectators could easily identify themselves. The non-virtuosity of movements and speech, making mistakes and even fatigue, become specially constructed “signs of naturalness”. Participatory projects in which the main action is expected to be performed by the audience can be seen also as a performance with non-professional artists. The borders between artistic and non-artistic in such projects are blurred. Likewise, the community creation, the attention paid to other people and the inclusion of “everyday” life becomes its main aesthetic feature.

“You might want to look up the definition of ‘continental breakfast’”: Other-initiated repair and community-building in health and weight loss blogs

This study examines other-initiated repair as what has been termed a light practice, demonstrating how it facilitates interactivity and moments of community creation online. Specifically, I analyze user comments on expert-written blogs that appear on an English-language weight loss website, showing how posters collaboratively initiate, accomplish, and show appreciation for repair activities. These activities, which are, as in face-to-face conversation, typically mitigated through various linguistic strategies, are aimed at aspects of blog text (including vocabulary and amount of information provided), as well as the choice of accompanying images. I show how various people – commenters, a person profiled in a blog, and bloggers – all may play roles in collaboratively accomplishing repair and thereby engage in the community. In addition, I suggest that repair not only facilitates participation, but also simultaneously serves as a means of highlighting shared expectations, or what have been called cultural discourses, about expert-written blogs. In other words, in engaging in repair activities, participants create routine forms of interaction that also (re)affirm shared expectations among members of this community.

Stimulating consumer community creation through a co-design approach

Increased competition requires retail stores to increasingly focus on improving their customers’ experiences. Along this line, this article explores how a co-design approach can help retail stores of outdoor products develop consumer communities as a part of their store concept. Such stores may be particularly interesting in relation to consumer communities, because of the consumers’ often passionate relationship to activities related to the products in focus. Two longitudinal case studies of outdoor product stores in Denmark are investigated. The two cases are investigated through interviews, store observations, network meetings, and co-design workshops. Several important findings are discovered: first, in relation to community forms, the article defined three archetypes: business–consumer (BC), consumer–consumer (CC), and a combination of the two (BCCC). Second, in relation to the premises for the creation of communities, the article defined three types: consumer motivation, consumer availability, and consumer homogeneity. Third, in relation to consumer community activities, the article argued that these could be understood as being defined by three elements: the business, the consumers, and the products. Finally, the article defined four overall types of community-initiated activities by distinguishing if they are consumer-initiated or business-initiated and if they have a recreational or goal-oriented purpose.

Handicap som vanskeliggjort deltagelse

ResumeMed udgangspunkt i en case, der omhandler pigen Sofies deltagelse i skolen, problematiseres tendensen til, at lærere og pædagoger forstår Sofies deltagelsesvanskeligheder i lyset af en handicapkategori. Casen om Sofie bidrager med praksisnær viden om, hvordan handicap i form af en diagnose får betydning for Sofies deltagelse i skolens faglige og sociale fællesskaber. I artiklen præsenteres en forståelse af fællesskaber som en ’fælles skabelse’, og der peges i den forbindelse på, at det pædagogiske arbejde i forhold til mennesker med handicap retter sig mod processer i fælles-skabelsen med fokus på inddragelse, indflydelse og værdighed.AbstractBased on a case concerned with the girl Sofie’s participation in school, the article problematizes the tendency that teachers and educators understand Sofie’s difficulties through a disability category.
