Collecting words

What a heterogeneous group that had gathered for this walking seminar! The stories from the field and the people came from Lancaster and Japan, New York City and Mali, Bangladesh and New Newfoundland, Amsterdam and Utrecht, Europe and Afghanistan, Cameroon and Paris, Madrid and Barcelona, Brazil and India, Sweden and Belgium, Cambodia and the United States.



The format of the conversations was slightly different this time. Instead of discussing a topic, we talked about words. Everybody had brought three words that are decisive for her/his research project which made us end up talk about:


belief
policy
practice
ordering
life
place
browkerage
social rist
care
persuasion
attraction
aesthetics
appreciation
bad
will
drive
surprise
pictoresque
wasting
saving
recycling
freezer
coffee
intervene
crisis
guilt
womanhood
technology
scale
order
objectivity
chocolate
experience
embeddedness
resistance
body
recalcitrance
between
value
waste
