Through a range of ethnographic case studies focusing on the Portuguese recovery after the economic crisis, this book begins a conversation about the experience of recuperation and repair. Located in the cracks and gaps between the state and society, recuperation appears as a social and infrastructural answer linked to reciprocity, critical urbanity, generational interweaving, alternate ordering and reconnection of different bodies and histories. With chapters looking at public art in Lisbon and recuperative modes of action, this collection takes a thorough look at a society in crisis and shows how the people of the community create micro-politics of resistance. Ultimately, Politics of Recuperation reflects on the meaning of personal and collective resilience in Europe today, as well as on the limits and interstices of contemporary politics.

How does peripherality challenge methodology and theory-making? This book examines how the peripheral can be incorporated into ethnographic research, and reflects on what it means to be on the periphery – ontologically and epistemologically. Starting from the premise that clarity and fixity as ideals of modernity prevent us from approaching that which cannot be easily captured and framed into scientific boundaries, the book argues for remaining on the boundary between the known and the unknown in order to surpass this ethnographic limit. Peripheral Methodologies shows that peripherality is not only to be seen as a marginal condition, but rather as a form of theory-making and practice that incorporates reflexivity and experimentation. Instead of domesticating the peripheral, the authors engage in (and insist on) practicing expertise in reverse, unlearning their tools in order to integrate the empirical and analytical otherwise.

Bringing together forty-five authors to reflect on the importance of everyday objects, this volume showcases how things found in the home can provide a valuable method of design and ethnographic study. With each chapter foregrounding an author, an object and a domestic space, it delves into the material ecologies that surround us to create a contemporary portrait of the places we inhabit. Combining analytical and empirical perspectives with autobiographical and archival recollections, an international line-up of designers, anthropologists, artists, architects and archaeologists each focus on a single domestic artefact. These objects demonstrate how anything can become the subject of design. From everyday products such as matches, blankets, toothbrushes and lamps to more personal items like a model Trabant car, a vinyl records collection and a vyshyvanka shirt, they showcase contemporary notions of materiality in different ways. The essays span diverse cultural, geographic and disciplinary contexts as well as thematically across gadgets, personal heritage, everyday essentials, furnishings, more-than-human companions, symbolism, and the past and future. A blend of personal storytelling with design sensibility and ethnographic insight, this will be a valuable resource for students and scholars interested in new design research methodologies and the emotive and evocative power of everyday objects.

The Future of Hiding analyzes the territorial dimensions of secrecy and how concealment occurs in relation to energy infrastructure and identity politics in Eastern Estonia. It shows that secrets and hiding places are intrinsic to human affairs, while reconsidering the possibilities of relating ethnographically to what appears to be the extraneous. Francisco Martínez highlights how basements, garages, bunkers, holes, and cottages favor alternative forms of sociality, allowing local residents to redesign the terms of their public selves. Shadow spaces in this liminal region, at the border with Russia, are created against the institutional demand to be knowable. People engage in ordinary forms of ambivalence and refusal to negotiate a sense of loss and the consequences of a century of extractive activities. The Future of Hiding invites cross-disciplinary dialogue on topics like mining, transparency, belonging and cultural landscapes, offering insights into infrastructure's reproduction and destruction, recolonizations, and the ecological memory of a sacrificed area.

What does it mean to claim that something is broken? What is the connection between tinkering and innovation? And how much tolerance for failure do our societies have? Exploring some of the ways in which repair practices and perceptions of brokenness vary culturally, Repair, Brokenness, Breakthrough argues that repair is an attempt to extend the life of things as well as an answer to failures, gaps, wrongdoings and leftovers. The set of contributions illustrates the strong affective power hidden in situations of disrepair and repair; broken objects often bring strong emotions into play, but also energising reactions of creative action.

Exploring some of the ways in which repair practices and perceptions of brokenness vary culturally, Repair, Brokenness, Breakthrough argues that repair is both a process and also a consequence which is sought out—an attempt to extend the life of things as well as an answer to failures, gaps, wrongdoings, and leftovers. This volume develops an open-ended combination of empirical and theoretical questions including: What does it mean to claim that something is broken? At what point is something broken repairable? What are the social relationships that take place around repair? And how much tolerance for failure do our societies have?

Megacity development and the inherent risks and opportunities for humans and the environment is a theme of growing urgency in the 21st century. Focusing on Latin America where urbanization is most advanced, this book studies the complexity of a ‘mega-urban system’ and explores interrelations between sectors and issues by providing an in-depths study of one particular city, Santiago de Chile. The book attempts to (i) focus on the emergence of risk in megacities by analyzing risk elements, (ii) evaluate the extent and severity of risks, (iii) develop strategies to cope with adverse risks, and (iv) to guide urban development by combining concepts with empirical evidence.Drawing on the work of an interdisciplinary and international consortium of academic and professional partners, the book is written for scholars in cross-cutting areas of urban, sustainability, hazard, governance and planning research as well as practitioners from local, regional and international organizations.

Leer es una de las actividades intelectuales, exclusiva del ser humano, más fascinante que hay. Para la mayoría de las personas, leer parece una actividad sencilla. Las letras, formando palabras, desfilan ante nuestros ojos dando un significado inmediato, casi de forma mágica, a un código determinado. Y sin embargo, eso que parece tan sencillo implica una gran cantidad de procesos de enorme complejidad a nivel del cerebro. La escritura, y por ende la lectura, es un invento humano relativamente reciente de hace unos miles de años. Pero el cerebro humano no está diseñado para leer y penalizamos al cerebro que se resiste a lo que no es natural, la lecto-escritura. Que consigamos leer y que consigamos que la lectura sea, como afirmó Proust, ese milagro de la comunicación en medio de la soledad no debe convertirse en un estandarte para estigmatizar al cerebro del disléxico que no quiere o no puede ajustarse a lo que, arbitrariamente, hemos decidido que es lo normal. Las modernas técnicas de imagen que permiten el estudio de la actividad cerebral in vivo nos muestran cómo, durante la lectura, intervienen un gran número de procesos neuronales completamente ajenos ala comprensión de las palabras. Es como si se usaran retales de neuronas para establecer las conexiones necesarias para ser capaces de leer. A la dificultad que presentan algunas personas para reorientar esos retales para poder leer es a lo que llamamos dislexia, y gracias a esta hemos podido entender algo de cómo consigue el cerebro convertirse en un cerebro lector. En la presente obra, se hace un pequeño repaso de esta desventaja que acompaña a muchos de los integrantes del pelotón de los lentos, los náufragos del aprendizaje.
