Publicación "Informal Infrastructure" of Prototyping: Practicing Organisation by Performing Materiality(Edinburgh University Press, 2022-12-01) Sánchez Valle, Francisco; Fernández García, SandraIn recent years, sheltered by the so-called ‘ontological turn’ in the social sciences, organisational analysis has paid special attention to artefacts. Nevertheless, there is still a dominant account grounded in a dichotomist view of the subject-object relationship either in teleological (mind-body) or in hylomorfic (form-matter) terms when analysing organising practices. On the contrary, our argument is based on nondualistic approaches in an attempt to foreground relational aspects of practices. From a practice-based approach, the article addresses the role of three ‘prototypes’ aimed at the management of the ‘air’ by citizenship, in the reconfiguration of bodies, technics and ethical-political engagement. Specifically, it focuses on the normative dimensions of organising by which knowledges, materials and values converge in the open-ended process of prototyping. The argument is deployed by relying on qualitative research based on multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork, developed both at different workshops and by online ethnography. The main aim of the article is to show how bodies and artefacts are mutually in/trans/formed when negotiating the social implications for the ontological category of ‘air’. In doing so, the concept of ‘informal infrastructure’ is proposed to account for those practices (which appear somewhat contingent, mundane or, at best, taken for granted) by which agents do not only commit to a particular ethical implication embedded in the category of ‘air’, as a symbolic result, but also to distinctive ways of practicing organisation as a political process of performing materiality. To this end, adopting the analytical concept of ‘informal infrastructure’ allows to simultaneously consider both the formal and informal aspects that emerge in these collaboration-driven practices, as well as to address their effects on the maintenance within and expansion into other networks.Publicación Imágenes para el parentesco. Afectos y maternidades a través de las imágenes publicitarias.(CSIC, 2024-11-15) Fernández García, Sandra; CSICPartiendo del discurso de género-parentesco que muestra la imagen femenina desde los años 50, en esta investigación se abordan los cambios producidos en las últimas décadas en la configuración de los vínculos afectivos que son clave para la conformación de las nuevas formas de familia. Mediante una investigación etnográfica principalmente sustentada en un análisis del discurso de las imágenes en los medios, se exponen los cambios que se han ido dando en las narrativas hegemónicas de la maternidad. La maternidad es tomada aquí como elemento afectivo central del grupo familiar. En esta línea, los cambios en dichas representaciones audiovisuales de la maternidad apuntan hacia una modificación del vínculo afectivo principal que constituye las agrupaciones familiares. De esta manera se observa un traspaso desde el amor conyugal al materno-filial que, considerando la maternidad como alegoría de un entorno de amor y cuidados, abre así espacio a nuevas conformaciones familiares en EspañaPublicación "Ghosting emotions": An open door for navigating intimacy in contemporary Spain(Slovene Anthropological Society, 2024) Fernández García, Sandra; Sánchez Valle, Francisco; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6144-3962Ghosting has mostly been associated with app-dating. However, our research addresses “ghosting” as a broader eld of face-to-face avoidance practices. The article highlights the role of avoidance in emotional practices to maintain ongoing relationships. In the case of contemporary Spain, the structural uncertainty that permeates intimate relationships – related to neoliberalism’s emphasis on individualism in the shaping of subjectivities – is reinforced by the tension in the coexistence of romantic and conuent models of love, which translates into a lack of scripts when it comes to dealing with intimacy. Drawing on the results of an ethnographic research project based on interviews with adults in the city of Madrid, we examine the ways in which social actors adapt their behavior to the context through what we have called “ghosting emotions.” This analytical tool accounts for those individual strategies, which, as a result of an exercise of emotional reexivity, limit relationality by avoiding certain social practices in the shaping of intimacy. Thus, this article shows the concrete processes through which actors develop patterns shaping structural dimensions in contemporary intimacies when facing uncertainties. To safeguard individuality within relationships, these practices function as a means of enhancing a sense of control by leaving “an open door”
