Loving and Longing helped me to understand, that I am not the only person in this world, who described her work, and how she achieved bases for performance. Laura Winton arrived in New York the night before 9/11 and virtually absorbed everything she could the following days in New York of 2001.
{xtypo_quote} It s conventional wisdom that one of the ways people deal with trauma is through pleasure and hedonism. And when I decided that I had to get on with my life and find a way to be happy again, I decided to indulge myself in a fling, to lose myself in the headiness of a 'crush,' all the while realizing that I would get some good writing out of the situation as well (Winton 2007: 2). {/xtypo_quote}

In focus of my work this year are not only tests at the university, but also urban anthropology. Bridges and live under bridges are explored through the lens of non – places of communication. This work will describe frames of action within urban areas by considering Marc Auge s theory of non – places. Central questions are: What is urban anthropology in the 21st century? How will I define urban – scapes in research? What is urban communication? How do public urban communicative processes work? How are urban spaces used by human beings? How do passers – by move within given frames of the city? How is the status of transition perceived? Which processes are taken notice of and which not? Cities are areas and spatial centers of social and cultural diversity, I think. These urban areas share economic hot spots of agency, like petrol stations with nearby food supply stores, supermarkets or fast-food restaurants. To me, cities are areas of condensed interests in survival, leisure and entertainment.

What amuses me by watching children is their persistent interest in the new; the ability to find always new aspects in their toys; their eagerness to change the meanings of toys; to play roles in games; their power of imagination; their patience and enduring detailing in play. Just when my April 2008 copy arrived in my mailbox, there were many children playing in the park while I read about the anthropology of childhood. In Focus of AN promotes a sophisticated approach to the anthropology of childhood. The dynamics of the time of transition to adulthood are presented through a contemporary lens in reference to past processes. Children are considered independent actors navigating through social, cultural and ecological settings. The development of competencies, the growth and maturation differs human beings from primate relatives (rf. Bock / Gaskins / Lancy 2008: 4)
