A study of property in transitional economies of reproduction.Besides reshaping human generativity, reproductive technologies such as IVF, egg donation, and surrogacy give rise to whole new value-creation systems and forms of ownership of the human body. The project is designed as a philosophical and sociological dual project with the aim of exploring discursive, institutional, and subjective processes of doing property in transnational economies of reproduction. It focuses, on the one hand, on bioethical problems surrounding ownership of the human body and, on the other hand, on patterns of interpretation and practices employed by various players in the context of the transnational propertization of human ova in Germany and Spain.

Perspectives on nomadism in political and theoretical contexts.What is the discourse about nomadism telling us about anthropological concepts of Western societies? This edited volume relates historical instances of nomadism to the role of “the nomad” in political discourses and recent theoretical debates. The figure of the nomad was and still is constructed as an antagonist within a (neo-)liberal frame of narratives about sedentarism, productivity, and improvement. Whereas the discourse about nomadism in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries was entangled with colonial contexts and ideas about so-called primitive societies, it became even more multifaceted in the twentieth century, considering ideas about “nomadic thinking” of Deleuze and Guattari, and different forms of “modern nomadism” on the rise: from traveling day laborers to refugees of war, from scientists to a global managerial class.
