Urban Sociology and Anthropology=> Chicago School. 1950s. Industrialization and urbanization since the 19th century, common patterns of exclusion and inclusion. Concentric circles, constant move & change. Place People, communities? Intersectional. Physical and symbolic boundaries for the bodies and encounters.
Kolluoğlu & Bartu Candan: Bezirganbahçe and Göktürk. Voluntary and involuntary isolation, lack of encounters and proper communication. Increase in inequalities in access to urban services, health, education and socialization. One group of people serves for the other. The «other», criminalized.
Amy Mills: Kuzguncuk, still a «mahalle» (communal neighborhood) with cozy cafes, where everybody greets each other in the streets. Greeks, Armenians and Jews. Turkification, political events of 1920s-40s, 1955, 1974. Apolitical nostalgia. Exploring one particular space through different scales. Global, national and local. Diaspora visits.

Anthropology in the Anthropocene Era: Where people transform the nature around them and their own nature. Our genes also mutate. GMOs. Exhibition of silicon sculptures in-between species. Ethno-graphy: Writing humans, human interactions between material and non material (other humans, animals –pets, herds, food supplies etc. and plants) elements. Anna Tsing: Human nature defined by interspecies relations. Human is a thinking animal, controlling the others.
Donna Haraway: Cyborg. Artists and ethnographers collaborate, third eye on the forehead. Infinite possibilities. Species travel and interact, inbreed.
Amelia Moore- Anthropocene: Human agency and responsibility together. Environmental Anthropology, ecopolitics. Neoliberalism and environmentalism developed together. Bahamas: Tourism, coral reefs. Cements and stones for the new ones, new colors, sunken ships as tourist attractions for divers => loss of biodiversity, natural reefs disappear, similar to Bodrum. Latour: Geostories. What does geography-human interactions tell us?
Anna Tsing: Matsutake mushrooms, very valuable, only in blasted land. Hiroshima. Life-giving disturbance. Radioactivity.
