Within the nexus between socio-cultural, bodily and spatial transformation, I focus on intersections of bodies, spaces, and ecologies as material and immaterial entanglements that tie them into larger networks. Thereby, I grapple with the ambiguity and fluidity of body-spatial relations regarding states of un/building, re/constructing, and in/visibility. Through spatial and sensory&nbsp;ethnography, I study archival bodies that store and change with such information. I am particularly drawn to the an:archival, which I understand as matters that defy conventional methods of archiving.&nbsp;Various projects take the form of multimodal explorations that integrate interaction and participation through research artefacts. When it comes to formats of documentation, (re)presentation and communication, I experiment with diverse aesthetics beyond the visual to the olfactory, gustatory and auditory.&nbsp; Since my work as an architect I am interested in the social agency of architecture and have had a keen interest in understanding the interrelations of urban and socio-cultural development in various urban lifeworlds. I have been able to pursue this research interest in a master's thesis at the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences and TU Istanbul, and later with a Doctor of Design degree in Urban Studies at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. In order to tie community work and research stronger together methodology, research and teaching, I continued my studies in a joint PhD in Anthropology/ Middle Eastern Studies with a Secondary Field in Gender Studies at the Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Basel and the FHNW Academy of Art and Design. I am committed to feminist pedagogy and take a situated and inquiry-based approach to teaching and learning.&nbsp; I attend to diversity among learners and offer various learning experiences in a community of practice format in the course room as a safe space for discussion and exchanges. I have gained teaching experience at Harvard University, Darmstadt University of Technology, Boston Architectural College, Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, the Faculty of Sociology at Boğaziçi University, FHNW Academy of Art and Design, and the University of Basel. As part of my research and my engagement with different local communities, I encounter a range of actors who are involved in and impacted by urban and social transformation. I strive to contribute to their efforts in partaking in the urban with practices of activist*scholarship that are context-specific and aimed at inclusion and toward greater equality. Hereby, I question and deconstruct hierarchies of South-North and East-West knowledges and practices. Together with and for diverse groups of participants, I organize trainings, courses, and workshops in embodied and digital formats. Examples for this can be found in my work as co-organizer of the Urban Ethnography Lab (www.urban-ethnography.com) and as co-founder of the Critical Icono-Ethnography Lab (www.cielab.ch). I focus on social performances, participatory processes, and the verbal, embodied and visual communication of diverse, more-than-humxn actors, negotiating belonging through collaboratively produced artifacts, bodies, spaces, ecologies aimed&nbsp;at common futures.

An:Archives The an:archive, the “not-archive,” builds on a queer departure towards and including bodies, matter and materialities that resist conventional modes of archiving.&nbsp;The an:archive is a highly self-critical approach to the archive, one that does not strive to become another dominating force, but enter the discourse with another perspective. The an:archive is situated in the ambiguous realm that defies, among others, the binaries of memory/forgetting (Assmann 1999), un/building (Halberstam 2018), un/boundedness (Douglas 1970), threat/opportunity (Rao 2008), freedom/control (Foucault 1977), de/colonizing (Fanon 1952), de/composition (Kozel 2017). <img width="1552" height="2194" width_o="1552" height_o="2194" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e1359366e0f9ccf4b2540e0127ddad303d1377dea9d01cff0484b00b808d9177/IMPULS-Poster-HS2020_Bodies-Cities-Archives_kl.JPG" data-mid="107256927" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e1359366e0f9ccf4b2540e0127ddad303d1377dea9d01cff0484b00b808d9177/IMPULS-Poster-HS2020_Bodies-Cities-Archives_kl.JPG" /> Urban Engendering <img width="1552" height="2194" width_o="1552" height_o="2194" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/308f6e7f27a22b9f665f1a6433ae01faefdada4a48e860affa70a27d1912680b/IMPULS-Poster-HS2020_Engendering-the-City_AYT_kl.JPG" data-mid="107256918" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/308f6e7f27a22b9f665f1a6433ae01faefdada4a48e860affa70a27d1912680b/IMPULS-Poster-HS2020_Engendering-the-City_AYT_kl.JPG" /> Critical FlânerieTaking a critical feminist urban perspective on the works on flânerie and gaze by ... <img width="1632" height="1224" width_o="1632" height_o="1224" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/84e246548304bce29a55e53f564d8931eefae53cdb47133eacf0c5176fdedfbc/IMG_4750.JPG" data-mid="107256020" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/84e246548304bce29a55e53f564d8931eefae53cdb47133eacf0c5176fdedfbc/IMG_4750.JPG" /> Socio-Sonic Poetics of Food https://aylintschoepe.net/PUBLICATIONS Tue, 05 Jan 2021 18:12:11 +0000 aylintschoepe https://aylintschoepe.net/PUBLICATIONS AYLIN TSCHOEPE PUBLICATIONSStefano Portelli, Tschoepe, Aylin Y. 2021. “Special Issue: On Activist*scholarship,” Radical Housing Journal, 3 (1). https://radicalhousingjournal.org/2021/editorial-5/ Genz, Carolin, Yildirim Tschoepe, Aylin. 2021. “Ethnographie als Methodologie zur Erforschung von Räumen und Raumpraktiken.” In Methoden qualitativer Raumforschung.

We collaboratively search for paths toward visionary pragmatic lifeworlds, taking entangled commons as commitment to coexistence, diversity, inclusion, and a critical look at (un)common sense. We invite contributions that engage with various aspects of entangled commons. Multimodal work, inter-/transdisciplinary collaborations, and action research is particularly encouraged! Please find detailed information about the Panel Entangled Commons (&lt;click here or on the link above) and submit your contribution through the “Propose Paper” button until March 21.

Together with the editorial board (Ferne Edwards, Carolin Genz, Lukas Ley) we will soon send a call for proposals for contributions along these lines: Urban spaces are centers for human and non-human activity, as well as agents entangled in networks both material and immaterial, real and imagined. Urban Anthropology Unbound unpacks the usual assumptions of an anthropology of urban life and what this means for understanding past, present, and possible urban futures. The series seeks ethnographic knowledge including the unconventional, and invites multimodal and sensory explorations as well. It promotes urban ethnography as a grounded, interdisciplinary methodology to study spatial phenomena as they interface with social and cultural ones&nbsp;and&nbsp;offers&nbsp;ways&nbsp;to understand, interpret, make, and practice urban lifeworlds. Stay tuned!
