TL;DR: The authors untersuchen, was die visuelen Ethnografie uber die Art lernen kann, wie Routen und Bewegungen in der ortlichen visuellen Kultur wiedergegeben werden.
Abstract: Dieser Beitrag baut auf einer fruheren Arbeit zur visuellen Ethnografie auf (PINK 2007a), um die Idee einer visuellen Ethnografie (in) der Bewegung vorzuschlagen. Jungere anthropologische Debatten haben die Aufmerksamkeit darauf gelenkt, Menschen in Bewegung zu studieren (LEE & INGOLD 2006). Diesen Vorschlagen folgend mochte ich untersuchen, was die visuelle Ethnografie uber die Art lernen kann, wie Routen und Bewegungen in der ortlichen visuellen Kultur wiedergegeben werden. Mit Bezug auf meine jungere Forschung uber die Cittaslow (Slow City)-Bewegung in Grosbritannien untersuche ich eine Reihe von lokal produzierten Berichten, die auf eigenen Erfahrungen, audiovisuellen oder fotografischen Aufzeichnungen beruhen. Ich begrunde damit die These, dass ein solcher Fokus visuellen Ethnograf/innen verstehen hilft, wie Orte "gemacht" werden.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors draw on recent anthropological literature on the senses to propose a novel approach to sustainable local development, and suggest that attention to how the senses are engaged in both discourses concerning and corporeal experiences of sustainable urban development, can produced insights into how these processes operate.
Abstract: In this article I draw on recent anthropological literature on the senses to propose a novel approach to sustainable local development. I suggest that attention to how the senses are engaged in both discourses concerning and corporeal experiences of sustainable urban development, can produced insights into how these processes operate. In developing the discussion I draw from examples from ethnographic research in British member towns of the Cittaslow (Slow City) movement.

TL;DR: In this paper, a case study of selected social relations produced through activities related to an urban social movement -the UK network of the international Cittaslow (Slow City) movement is presented.
Abstract: This article explores the relationship between activism, sociality and place. It analyses a case-study of selected social relations produced through activities related to an urban social movement - the UK network of the international Cittaslow (Slow City) movement. It specifically examines how social relationships contribute to the human agency that Cittaslow activism involves. In a recent Cultural Studies analysis of the Cittaslow movement, Wendy Parkins and Geoffrey Craig (2006) have suggested that Cittaslow ‘communities’ drive processes of change. Here, following social anthropologists (Creed 2006; Amit in Amit & Rapport 2002) who call for an interrogation of the concept of ‘community’ in its local and academic uses, I propose a different analytical route. I suggest that Cittaslow activism is better understood by analysing how agency is produced through actual local embodied social relationships.
