us tomorrow, on Thursday for the inaugural webinar on images, ageing, and care
with Inge Daniels.

Thursday, January 25, 2024

17.00-18:30 Greenwich Mean time
12.00-13:30 Eastern, North America

The Zoom link is here.

Inge Daniels film She Waves at Me explores what it feels like to be an
aging body in an aging housing estate in Central London. The film, based on 18
months of ethnographic fieldwork (2020-2022), juxtaposes the intricate care
that goes into maintaining the buildings and their surroundings with elderly
inhabitants struggles and strategies to create safe and comfortable homes for
themselves and their loved ones. The webinar will be 90 minutes long, starting
with Inges short introduction to the film, followed by our watching the film
together (20 minutes long), and ending with a Q&A for 20-30 minutes.

Inge Daniels is a visual anthropologist based at the Institute of Social and
Cultural Anthropology at the University of Oxford. Her research interests
include housing, atmosphere, and the built environment. She has conducted
several ethnographies in Japan culminating in a 2010 monograph The Japanese
House. She has also had an ongoing interest in curation and exhibitions, which
resulted in the book What are Exhibitions for? (2019) which is based on an
ethnography of visitors to the 2012 exhibition at the Museum of the Home in
London. She is currently the Principal Investigator of the Disobedient
Buildings project, which looks at housing, well-being and welfare in the U.K.,
Romania and Norway, and was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council
for four years from January 2020 (see
www.disobedientbuildings.com).


This webinar
series gathers anthropologists and image-makers
interested in exploring the ontological and epistemological connections
between images, aging, and care, treating the relationship and these phenomena
as requiring and inviting interrogation. It is sponsored by the Association
for Anthropology, Gerontology and the Life Course (AAGE), the Care and Images
Collective, the European Association of Social Anthropologists Age and
Generations Network (AgeNet) and the Network for Visual Anthropology of the
European Association of Social Anthropologists (VANEASA).
