In the Company of Plants: Multispecies Care and Migrant Home-Making in Germany

from ZMO kitchen talks · host Leibniz-Zentrum Moderner Orient

Anthropologist Hilal Alkan looks at plants from an angle of displacement and care. She works with Turkish migrants who have come to Germany from the 1960s until now. What do their plants mean to them? How do they care for them? How does planting influence migrants' experiences of making Berlin their home? Through her ethnographic fieldwork, she wants to find out whether the relationships between people and their plants have any effects on their sense of belonging.

Patti Talks Too Much Patti Hi. I'm Patti and it's been said - many times - that I talk too much. I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans.We'll talk woo, probe mysteries and leave you thinking about something more interesting or entertaining or uplifting than your grocery list, or boss or that oil change your car needs. I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy.
