  • Affiliations
    This thematic field propose to analyse the tensions, obstacles and temporal evolution as well as the benefits and challenges connected with affiliations, such as multiple, often overlapping, competing political, economic and social affiliations that change over time and redefine societal issues.
  • Arts & Aesthetics
    This Research Section addresses the muliplicity of artworks. Hence, instead of taking given unities in aesthetics for granted as our starting point, we will focus on ongoing processes of creation, mediation and interpretation as well as how artworks shape and are shaped by material and social conditions.
  • Knowledges
    The main objective of this RS is to study the production, enactment, dissemination, and effects of knowledges. We draw attention to the relational ways in which knowledges are constantly formed and transformed, shape-shifting social and political configurations.
  • Learning
    This Research Section seeks to realise an understanding of multiple and interrelated processes of learning in Africa and their connectedness beyond the continent, with particular reference to—and relevance for—the cluster’s key concepts of multiplicity and relationality.
  • Mobilities
    This Research Section questions the drivers of differential mobilities, dwelling and place-making practices; the environmental impacts associated with, for example, physical transport; multiple concepts of resource and environmental manage-ment and perceptions of climate and ecological events.
  • Moralities
    The objective of this Research Section is to study modes of “doing ethics” in contexts where questions of well-being and societal transformation are at stake, especially in fields characterised by transnational interactions such as development, social/religious movements or international justice.
