The research group analyses contestations of social (state) regimes in post-pandemic and post-colonial cities of the Global North. It addresses – and connects – six research gaps by introducing the concept of social (state) regimes and the methodology of the movement-based ethnographic social (state) regime analysis: (1) So far, transformations of the welfare state appear only as a silhouette background in debates on urban dynamics, migration, labour, care and policy within the German-speaking anthropological community. Hence, the potential interventions of a cultural anthropology of ‘the social’ into the interdisciplinary field of (comparative) welfare research have not yet be sufficiently explored. (2) Several migration scholars have recently made the case for thinking migration and social policies closer together. Most of them are conceptually and theoretically very eloquent but lack an empirical basis. Many empirical studies, however, fail to perceive power dynamics that cut across the migrant/non-migrant divide or understand contested demarcations of ‘the social’ that criss-cross different territories of governance. (3) The role that social policy and mobility play in the intersectional relations between market and non-market practices and infrastructures of social reproduction has not yet been sufficiently explored. (4) Research on the precarisation of labour either focuses solely on migrant labour or disregards the efficacious dynamics of racism in societal labour relations. (5) De- and post-colonial urban research discusses how necropolitics do not only articulate in the wastelands and necropolis of the Global South and in violent border zones but increasingly also in cities of the Global North. However, empirical research on homelessness, urban citizenship and urban inequality is often not in touch with these debates. (6) The approach of movement-based research in US-American critical urban scholarship has not yet been brought into dialogue with debates around engaged anthropology, at least in the European context.The research group addresses these six research gaps – and their complex entanglements – with five movement-based ethnographic social (state) regime analyses. The researchers will take part in the activities of local grass root community organisations which lead social struggles in everyday life, and organise multilingually and across status groups and nationalities. The first part of the project (subprojects 1–3) is based in Berlin, Frankfurt a.M. and Oldenburg (Germany). The second part (subprojects 4–5) opens up a transnational comparative perspective with London (UK) and Los Angeles (USA). A movement-based epistemic vantage point and interest in understanding the processes that b/order ‘the social’ allow for a distinct reading of unequal social relations and attempts of governing poverty, migration and low-wage (reproductive) labour in crises-ridden, post-colonial and post-pandemic capitalism.

该研究小组分析了全球北方后流行和后殖民城市的社会（国家）政权的变化。通过引入社会（国家）制度的概念和基于运动的民族志社会（国家）制度分析的方法，它解决了-并连接-六个研究空白：（1）到目前为止，福利国家的转变只出现在德语人类学界关于城市动态，移民，劳动力，护理和政策的辩论中。因此，潜在的干预措施的文化人类学的“社会”到跨学科领域的（比较）福利研究尚未得到充分的探讨。(2)一些移徙问题学者最近提出了将移徙问题与社会政策更紧密地联系在一起的理由。其中大多数在概念上和理论上都很有说服力，但缺乏经验基础。然而，许多实证研究未能察觉到跨越移民/非移民鸿沟的权力动态，也未能理解纵横交错的不同治理领域中有争议的“社会”界限。(3)社会政策和流动性在市场和非市场做法以及社会再生产基础设施之间的交叉关系中所起的作用尚未得到充分探讨。(4)关于劳动力缺乏保障的研究要么仅仅侧重于移徙劳工，要么忽视种族主义在社会劳动关系中的有效动态。(5)去殖民和后殖民城市研究讨论了墓地政治如何不仅在全球南方的荒地和墓地以及暴力边境地区，而且越来越多地在全球北方的城市中表达出来。然而，关于无家可归、城市公民身份和城市不平等的实证研究往往与这些辩论无关。(6)在美国-美国批判性城市研究中，基于运动的研究方法尚未与参与人类学的辩论进行对话，至少在欧洲背景下是这样。研究小组通过五个基于运动的民族志社会（国家）制度分析来解决这六个研究空白及其复杂的纠缠。研究人员将参加当地基层社区组织的活动，这些组织在日常生活中领导社会斗争，并组织多语言和跨地位群体和民族的活动。该项目的第一部分（分项目1-3）设在柏林、法兰克福和奥尔登堡（德国）。第二部分（分项目4-5）从跨国的角度与伦敦（联合王国）和洛杉矶（美国）进行比较。一个基于运动的认识的Vantage和兴趣，在理解的过程，B/秩序的“社会”允许不平等的社会关系和治理贫困，移民和低工资（生殖）劳动力的危机缠身，后殖民和后流行病资本主义的尝试一个独特的阅读。
