研究テーマ・研究概要

• 研究テーマ

  Dr Saskia Abrahms-Kavunenko is an anthropologist who uses ethnographic methods to explore human lives from a broad perspective. Her research encompasses the more-than-human, economic and climactic changes, toxicity and pollution, the mundane, the invisible, and the sublime.

• 研究概要

  Dr Abrahms-Kavunenko has published on the topics of plastics, global warming and pollution, doubt and materiality, Buddhism, shamanism, postsocialism, and economic anthropology as they have been experienced in Mongolia, Australia and India. Her recent work engages the materiality of plastics as they interact with and co-constitute ecological, cultural, and religious spheres. Her project ‘Plastic Cosmologies: Radical Permeation and the Self’ will look at how people ontologically (re)orient themselves in a world permeated with plastics.
