"Sensing Loss" brings ethnological research from the university into the museum and asks how people deal with loss. The lectures address different forms of mourning, nostalgia, memory work and joint new beginnings.
The discussion series "Sensing Loss" brings ethnological research from the university into the museum. Social and cultural anthropologists at all career stages report on their current research into how people experience loss and work through experiences of loss. Sensing Loss asks how loss is encountered, embodied and spatialized – and how new futures can be gained from displacement, dispossession and past injustice. Experiences of loss (loss), their confrontation and working-through [r e t u r n] are as diverse as the situations in which people encounter colonialism, marginalization or violence.
