The anthropological project explores how the affective work of activist actors in urban centers in Tanzania and Germany mobilizes societal debates in relation to the coloniality of cultural goods. It asks in particular how modalities of feeling become the object of negotiation between individual activists and activist groups, as well as between them and other actors and institutions in their societies. The project seeks to establish the anthropological research area affect and activism in relation to decolonial struggles in transnational settings.
