Introductions by Eva Horn and Nicole Sütterlin to the workshop "Blurry Bodies – Blurry Selves: Corporeality in the Anthropocene" (5 June 2024) Organisers: Eva Horn (University of Vienna), Nicole Sütterlin (Harvard University) and Vera Thomann (University of Vienna) Hosted by the Vienna Anthropocene Network FWF-Projekt „Landschaft, Leben, Form. Die Poetik des Anthropozäns“

El proyecto XSCAPE, financiado con fondos europeos, reúne a un equipo de arqueólogos, científicos de la visión y filósofos cognitivos para explorar si los mundos que construimos alteran nuestra propia mente y la forma en que procesamos la información. El equipo financiado por el Consejo Europeo de Investigación estudia si nuestros edificios, carreteras y artefactos cambian los patrones de pensamiento y atención. El equipo del proyecto, que tiene previsto realizar una serie de más de cuarenta estudios de casos globales, utiliza un conjunto de materiales —de diferentes culturas y entornos antiguos y nuevos— para explorar los cambios cognitivos impulsados por la materialidad. XSCAPE utiliza una nueva metodología sinérgica que combina múltiples estudios de casos del mundo real con la neurociencia visual más reciente y simulaciones simples basadas en agentes. Narradora: Regina Zaghi-Lara; Miembros del equipo XSCAPE: Arturo José Valiño, Alba Fernández-Pestonit; Fotografías: María Silva-Gago, Regina Zaghi-Lara; Realización y edición de vídeo: Rubén Vuelta-Santín; Dirección y guión: Regina Zaghi-Lara; Corrección de guion y supervisión: Alba Fernández-Pestonit, Márcia L Hattori.

An interview of Raymond and Rosemary Firth concerning their life and work as anthropologists

Interview of Sir Keith Thomas - on his life and work

As a test for the possible film series, Alan Macfarlane and Mark Turin discuss the role and effects of glass in history.

The beautiful focus of this film is a quilt made in c.1890 in Swaledale and its journey through the generations of a family and on to the Quilters’ Guild collection in the early twenty-first century. It conveys how textiles hold powerful emotions for their makers and the relatives who have inherited them, and communicates the pleasures of hand quilting in the past and today. It also shows how inherited objects offer insights into our history, reflecting on the way inherited quilts provide insights into changing regional patterns of women’s work and lives. With Deborah McGuire and Joanne Begiato.

Standing against a backdrop of a farming scene in New South Wales, Australia, Alan Macfarlane describes the consequences of the spread of European agriculture to many parts of the world with its pests and weeds and new social systems.
