Visiting Hallsworth Professor

Wednesday 2nd March 2016

Susana Narotzky, Professor of Social Anthropology, University of Barcelona and Fellow of the Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research

‘’Autonomy, dependence and solidarity : grassroots responses to structural adjustment in Spain’’

The talk will be based on my fieldwork in an industrial town in North Western Spain but I will use additional material from other sites in Southern European countries explored by researchers of the ERC funded “Grassroots Economics” project. This talk addresses how older and younger men and women, retired, unemployed and underemployed people have seen their expectations of stability and well being shattered repeatedly and how this results in their ability to cope with the present day situation and to generate diverse kinds of hope. The aim of the talk is to explore how transformations of the political economic structure are connected to everyday practices reconfiguring inter- and intra-generational dependencies and solidarities, and how these are understood in terms of past memories and experiences. While the sense of loss and breakdown of livelihood security is shared by different age groups, their rapport to the past and as a result their claims for the future are different.
