Mobilizing Carescapes: Affects and multiple crises in psychosocial health care (D03 [A02])

• Subject Area: Social and Cultural Anthropology and Ethnology
• Term: since 2015
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 258523721

The anthropological-psychiatric project develops the working concept Mobilizing Carescapes in order to investigate processes of affective and conflictive differentiation triggered by current global crises, e.g., the Covid-19 pandemic or the war against Ukraine, within the mental health network for Vietnamese migrants that our project has co-established in Berlin. Mobilizations due to frictions between differing modes of feeling and setting priorities will be analyzed in Germany and Vietnam from multiple perspectives using mixed-methods approaches.
