The project centres around the idea of the common good, a rhetorical and practice-generating concept that refers to a ‘common’ and, at the same time, creates it. While the first funding period showed how the individual legal design of equality and anti-discrimination law shapes collectivisation processes and gender relations in a specific way, the second funding period concentrates on references anchored in the concept of the common good and asks how imaginations of a larger whole that transcends the individual are articulated in law-related discourses and practices. Of interest are which notions of a ‘common’ or even ‘general’ are thereby updated, mobilised, or even rejected. The common good is conceptualised as situated and variable, produced in sayings and doings. It constitutes itself through its mobilisation and at the same time has mobilising effects.The question of the embattled general and new common is dealt with in the form of ethnographic case studies using the example of the implementation or restructuring of urban transport infrastructures (Case Study A: Mobility Turnaround (“Mobilitätswende”)) and midwifery care (Case Study B: Birthing Justice (“Gerechte Geburt”)). In both research fields, processes of public welfare-oriented infrastructuring are analysed with a view to the interrelation of law, politics and morality with their situational and intersectionally-gendered politics, rhetorics and performances. The ethnographic research is intended to gain insights into the ways in which routines are (re)organized in processes oriented towards the common good; material and immaterial foundations for living together are provided; user groups are called upon and simultaneously constituted; and space-time arrangements are created. The project draws upon practical theoretical considerations on infrastructuring, according to which technical and social systems overlap: Infrastructures (co-)constitute and organize routines, subject positions and (partial) public spheres. From a perspective of moral anthropology and gender theory, the project aims to identify implicit and explicit mechanisms of inclusion in and exclusion from the common good, omissions and possible alternative conceptions of participation. It will be examined whether and how work on/for the common good is connected with a specific handling of material and immaterial resources, leading to intersectional differentiations of social spaces and infrastructures.

该项目围绕着共同利益的理念，这是一个修辞和产生实践的概念，指的是“共同”，同时也创造了“共同”，虽然第一个供资期显示了平等和反歧视法律的个人法律的设计如何以特定方式塑造集体化进程和性别关系，第二个供资期侧重于以共同利益概念为基础的参考，并询问如何在与法律有关的论述和实践中表达超越个人的更大整体的想象。有趣的是，“共同”甚至“一般”的概念因此被更新，动员，甚至被拒绝。共同利益被概念化为情境性的和可变的，产生于言行之中。它通过其动员作用而构成自身，同时具有动员作用。陷入困境的一般公共和新公共的问题以人种学案例研究的形式处理，使用城市交通基础设施的实施或重组（案例研究A：流动性周转（“Mobilitätswirt”））和助产护理（案例研究B：生育正义（“Gerechte Geburt”））的例子。在这两个研究领域中，分析了面向公共福利的基础设施建设过程，着眼于法律、政治和道德与其情境和跨性别政治、伦理学和绩效的相互关系。民族志研究的目的是深入了解如何在面向共同利益的过程中（重新）组织日常生活;提供共同生活的物质和非物质基础;呼吁并同时建立用户群体;创造时空安排。该项目借鉴了关于基础设施的实际理论考虑，根据这些考虑，技术和社会系统重叠：基础设施结构（共同）构成和组织常规，主题立场和（部分）公共领域。该项目从道德人类学和性别理论的角度出发，旨在确定纳入和排除共同利益的隐性和显性机制、遗漏和可能的替代参与概念。它将审查是否和如何工作/为共同利益是连接到一个具体的处理物质和非物质资源，导致社会空间和基础设施的交叉分化。
