Externalise, materialise, confront: on the making of sociolegal worry beads Part 1
Preview: my sociolegal worry externalised, materialised, confronted.
Norman (2005) Emotional design: why we love (or hate) everyday things got me thinking about worries as a focal point for sociolegal research, in particular in my current site of interest: Cyprus.
This image, one of a poignant series in Lasn/Adbusters (2012) Meme wars: the creative destruction of neoclassical economics, helped me to think about linking worry and wonder in the past-present-future
Dunne and Raby (2013) Speculative everything: design, fiction and social dreaming got me thinking about making material my research into worry and wonder in the past-present-future regarding the possible Cyprus reunification. For example: using soil to think through, analytically and emotionally, some of the issues relating to property in any future settlement.
Arnovitz (2013) My worry beadsfocused my attention on worry beads: a secular method of self-calming indigenous to Cyprus.
But while I was waiting to interview anthropologist Yiannis Papadakis, author of Echoes from the dead zone,it struck me that I should begin with the worries with which I most familiar: those of a sociolegal researcher.
So I sketched a draft version before Yiannis arrived, and discussed it with him during the interview.
