Hello everyone! I'm currently in my second master semester at the University of Cologne, studying the two subjects Social and Cultural Anthropology and English studies. I finished my bachelor degree in both of these subjects at the University of Cologne aswell. My bachelor thesis was about the building of a national identity in relation to the food culture in Singapore. My main study interests are the effects of globalisation, museum anthropology and popular culture. 

Bodies in Vertigo

Through the concept of “entangled geographies,” our group challenges the hegemonic ways of understanding the world governed by western logics. This contribution is a synthesis of a series of narratives that link disparate geographies through shared experiences of the violence inflicted by the nation-state mechanisms of control. The notion of border, borderland, and territory are interrogated by situated and contextual discourses that expose through praxis the underlying myths of what constitutes an edge or border condition.
