This article localizes the traveling concept of permaculture in Timor-Leste as a pathway into studying the juventude permakultura (permaculture youth) movement, its pedagogies of hope, sensory learning, and emotional mobilization. Focusing on permaculture-based community gardening and water conservation projects in Timor-Leste in relation to projects implemented by the nation's significant government-NGO nexus opens up anthropological inquiries into various social, political, and ecological phenomena. It contrasts divergent imaginaries of shaping young persons' selves and futures and taps into issues of food security, environmental awareness, and alternative knowledge construction. Although ongoing research localizes the traveling concept of "permaculture" in Timor-Leste through tracing, exploring, and juxtaposing methodologies, this article focuses on the practice-oriented sensorial pedagogy of permaculture youth camps. It inquires how the eco-social youth movement contests the marginalization of vulnerable communities by acknowledging local knowledge and connecting it with translocal permaculture techniques. More precisely, the article focuses on the sensory and affective dimensions of learning in vulnerable communities and disaster-prone landscapes. It zeroes in on tasting the soil and mobilizing the future as pedagogies of hope and considers these powerful ways of securing (future) livelihood.
Abstract This paper analyses the affective ramifications at the onset of the emerging Corona pandemic in Kupang, Indonesia. Steering towards now established social and political orders of public conduct outside one's home and neighbourhood, public billboards and warning signs became early visible manifestations of worlding Covid-19 into the city's infrastructure. Rapidly emerging governmental and entrepreneurial banners communicated new orders of personal and communal hygiene practices. They created messages of Covid-19 infectiology based on globalised public health rhetoric calling familiar socialities and ordinary feelings into question. This paper scrutinises the pandemic worlding of spaces and socialities and reflects on the relationship between newspaper reports, billboards and the feelings they evoked. The article proposes the concept of 'orders of feelings' as a valuable complement of 'worlding' theories via the analysis of banners, signs and newspaper articles as 'emotives'. Ultimately, it contemplates anthropological knowledge production in a pandemic context that obstructed traditional ethnographic engagement.
In times of accelerated globalization, with the overheated circulation of lifestyle desires and future imaginaries of the good life, children's education has become a site of contested governmental, activist, and entrepreneurial assemblages that connect translocal actors and communities. The literature on transnational education has demonstrated that knowledge circulation prompts the production of "mobile worlds"—the movement of bodies, ideas, and finances. This article extends this well-established body of research and focuses on the connectivities of "minor utopias" emerging from within and across borders. It builds on past ethnographic work in Indonesia as a route into a discussion of recent observations of the emerging national permaculture curriculum pertaining to primary school education in Timor Leste. To theorize the relations and processes that connect translocal actors and communities, I draw on the concept of "worlding"—the continual process of emplacing translocal ideas and assemblages.

This report on Data, Knowledge Organisation, and Epistemic Impact covers the findings of WP 4 of the K-PLEX project. It focuses on data collection, production, and analysis in a broad range of scientific disciplines, on epistemologies and methodologies, and research organisation. The cross-disciplinary research topic "emotions" has been chosen to ensure comparability across disciplines and to investigate different epistemic cultures. Findings are based on a survey with 123 responses and 15 expert interviews. Results show the heterogeneity of research approaches and epistemic dissonances resulting from a broad variety of epistemic cultures in emotion research. Datafication – the rendering of real-world phenomena into data – inevitably leads to a reduction of complexity of the research object "emotions". This simplification results from the limitations imposed by the epistemologies and the biases inherent to methodological decisions. The dissection into various disciplines and epistemic cultures and the challenges of interdisciplinarity further the marginalisation of complexity. Interdisciplinarity in emotion research was deemed as both beneficial and demanding. While interdisciplinary research projects were seen to be fruitful on a theoretical and conceptual level, the development of research methodologies that enable data structures which can be aggregated into larger data sets proved to be challenging. Data structures are designed according to methodological requirements and not to ensure reusability. Structural factors like the difficulties of research organisation in large-scale interdisciplinary research units, or the lack of high-ranked journals publishing interdisciplinary results further impede such research endeavours. Data cannot be seen independently from the context in which they were constructed and collected. The narrower context of the research setting and of the researcher as well as the wider contexts of the historical, political, social, cultural and linguistic circumstances of data collection ...

"Nicht selten wird Neid als etwas 'typisch Deutsches' etikettiert. Im Beitrag wird erörtert, welcher Status Begriffen wie 'Neidkultur' und 'Neidgesellschaft' im Kontext sozialpolitischer Auseinandersetzungen und vor dem Hintergrund einer kulturvergleichenden Emotionsforschung zugeschrieben werden kann." (Autorenreferat)
This book integrates social anthropological, political, and historical perspectives on the emotional impact of marginalization, stigmatization and violence in present-day Indonesia. The authors' combined focus on regional particularities and universal dimensions of experiencing and dealing with social, economic and psychological adversities targets scholars who share regional interest in the archipelago and researchers concerned with theoretical aspects of the interplay between power asymmetries, agency, emotion and culture.
