“…MAS is thus concerned with the co-constitution of materialities and age(ing), as well as older adults' positions, practices and perceptions in and of materialities. Research in this field focuses, for example, on the roles of objects, artefacts, things, technologies, spaces, architectures and bodies in the diverse experiences of ageing (Buse and Twigg 2018;Depner 2015;Endter 2020;Gallistl and Wanka 2019). These studies acknowledge the role of materialities and the ways that they shape our experiences of ageing, which bears great analytical potential for contemporary anthropological debates and links to already established fields like material culture studies, gender studies and STS.…”

There are many different anthropological traditions of material culture studies in Europe, as well as beyond. And yet the materialities of age and ageing nevertheless tend to be neglected in anthropological studies of ageing-related matters. Through a range of case studies, this special issue of AJEC addresses this gap. The articles consider a diversity of theories, methodologies and empirical approaches to better understanding European landscapes of care and pressing gerontological concerns.

“…In order to initiate and foster a debate on human and nonhuman actors as being essential and equal components in the production of age and ageing, scholars of material gerontology deal with various kinds of materiality from a theoretical perspective and thus make possible new perspectives on our understanding of old age. They conceptualize various interrelations of age and materiality, such as age and body (Höppner, 2015a, 2015b, 2017; Höppner and Urban, 2018), age and artifacts of everyday life and technology (Artner et al, 2017; Depner, 2015; Endter, 2016; Wanka and Gallistl, 2018), and age and spaces (Hahmann, 2018; Wanka and Oswald, 2020).…”

Silhouettes analysis: a posthuman method for visualizing and examining the material world

Qualitative Research

In recent decades, postmodern, poststructuralist, and social constructivist theories, and the methodologies and methods they have informed, have been criticized for focusing primarily on human actors, discourses, and actions. Simultaneously, so-called posthuman theories have been developed that decentralize the human, reject an unquestioned use of the dualism of human/nonhuman, and emphasize the importance of the material world in the production of the social. A key concern for current qualitative inquiry is to develop methods that contribute to the critique of human-centered analysis. In this article, I explore what we learn about the material world when we do not use verbal methods or written data but image details of moveable formations, which are made into silhouettes using Karen Barad’s agential realism. After introducing posthuman methodology I perform a silhouettes analysis focusing on old age. The intention is to demonstrate that silhouettes analysis makes it possible to gain new insights into the features of materialities of old age in a way that classical image analysis would not allow. In addition, silhouettes analysis produces an alienation effect that disturbs practiced viewing habits and assumptions, and can thus serve as a research tool promoting reflection. I conclude with a discussion of the advantages and limitations of silhouettes analysis for gerontological and posthuman research.

Postcolonial Writings

Westlich-europäische prokolonialistische Dinge waren schon früh Teil einer Modellierung durch die deutschsprachige Literatur. Constant Kpao Sarè widmet sich afrikanischen Dingen wie zum Beispiel Tempeln, Pyramiden, Kopfschädeln oder Kaffee und deren (post-)kolonialem Potential in der Literatur. Dabei verfolgt er die Entwicklungen der gegenwärtigen deutschsprachigen Afrika-Literatur bis in den kritischen Realismus zurück und zeigt: Literarische Dinge entfalten, offensichtlich zügiger als die Mimikry des kolonisierten Menschen selbst, ein subversives Potential und operieren interkulturell. Es gelingt ihnen so, den Geltungsanspruch kolonialer Asymmetrien ästhetisch zu suspendieren und zu einem symbolischen »Verstehen« einzuladen.
