How, then, can we fill that which is sectioned off, put in parentheses\u2014itinerancy, the movement itself \u2014with density? The aim of this project is to examine how itineraries have converged in Cape Town, where many tricks of geography are put in relief, at once enacting and undermining \u201cgeography as a disciplining force on the subject\u201d (Rogoff 2010). What can attention to what Kathleen Stewart calls \u201cemergences\u201d tell us about the relationship between embodiment and integration as a socio-political construction, not just only of those deemed \u201cmigrants\u201d but also those who are considered \u201cexpatriates\u201d, as well? How does this disrupt or converge with a post-Apartheid optic, through which hierarchized social and spatial mobilities are easily read? How does it map into the affective and sensory relationship between the body and its environment(s)?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Chlo\u00e9 Faux<\/strong> is a doctoral student in social anthropology at Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales. <\/em><em>She received her Masters degree in Visual and Media Anthropology from Freie Universitat Berlin in 2014, and her BA in Comparative Literature and Society from Columbia University in 2010. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>French Institute Seminars in Humanities (FISH) 19 November 2015 15:00 &#8211; IFAS Conference Room, 62 Juta Street, Braamfontein &nbsp; Chlo\u00e9 Faux EHESS The point of departure for this project is the conundrum of geography, \u201cnot [as] a location but a situated knowledge\u201d (Rogoff 2010).
