Thank you all for an inspiring dgska conference! Wishing everyone safe travels back home! Until we meet again!

Martin Zillinger is closing the conference! See you all in Hamburg in two years for "What moves Us?" #dgska2025

You can listen to me speak about „Selbstdenken“ (self thinking) today - a term Hannah Arendt borrowed from Lessing. With this term, both did not mean to signify a retreat into an isolated “self“, but rather a “thinking with others“. One can learn by oneself - but one cannot think alone! #dgska2025

Leaving Cologne and #DGSKA2025 full of ideas and #anthropological excitement. Wonderful to see old friends and meet new people - and look forward to continuing the conversation on un/commoning!

Academic freedom is under threat in many parts of the world- sometimes openly, sometimes subtly. Basak Ertür, Ghassan Hage, Nandini Sundar & Martin Zillinger explore how we can teach, write & resist in repressive times 🎓🕊️🗣️ Chair: Julia Eckert, Lipin Ram. Thanks to all for your insights! #dgksa2025

Yesterday‘s Session on „Commoning Marxism“ with Don Kalb, Stefan Wellgraf, @patrickneveling.bsky.social and @jeremyrayner.bsky.social. Insights were shared on the assumed ‘end of history’, Marxism as theory and practice continues to thrive, taking on a multiplicity of shapes.

After the break 💥 Session 2 continues ⛏️🌍⚖️ with Kulinova on extractivism in Kemerovo, Christensen on sand mining and commons in Cambodia, and Ocaklı on gold mining, uncommoning, and collective action in Kyrgyzstan. Thanks to all speakers! #dgska2025

At the reception of the exhibition Out of Focus, the curational team spoke and there was an intriguing movement performance, that subtly decentered and moved the audience, as the pieces in the exhibition agmedien.de/events/out-o...

Eriko Yamasaki, Sandra Calkins, Phillip Budka & André Thiemann explore un/commoning and sustainability—from Maya maize farming 🌽 to green gentrification 🚧, Arctic infrastructure 🚂 & swine fever in Serbia 🐗. Chaired by Maike Melles & Daniel Sosna. #dgska2025
