The ‘Anthropology of Economic Experimentation’ Department at the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology (Halle/Saale) is proud to announce the launch of its digital humanities project “Re-mind the Nearby/ Die Nähe Neu denken”. Weaving together oral history, migration theory and urban history, Remind the Nearby provides a glimpse into the lives of migrant women – from Eritrea, Syria, Sudan, and the Ukraine – and their experiences of settling and creating a new nearby in Halle (Saale). The project amplifies their voices whilst bringing attention to the need of re-thinking our urban environment, our ‘nearby’, as a way of re-making ruptured worlds. Each individual podcast, a multi-vocal documentary, explores how these women navigate the city’s multi-layered urban space and carve a place for themselves in it. Together, these stories provide a counternarrative to mainstream media by painting a picture of the sacrifices involved in the process of migration and flight alongside details of everyday life in Eastern Germany. To listen to the five episodes and find out more about the project you can go to our website, or listen directly from spotify or podbean. https://remindthenearby.eth.mpg.de/enhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3NaWwLCYLcLTyudJ33kLBahttps://remindthenearby.podbean.com/
