The stories from the field and the people came from Lancaster and Japan, New York City and Mali, Bangladesh and New Newfoundland, Amsterdam and Utrecht, Europe and Afghanistan, Cameroon and Paris, Madrid and Barcelona, Brazil and India, Sweden and Belgium, Cambodia and the United States. The format of the conversations was slightly different this time. Instead of discussing a topic, we talked about words . Everybody had brought three words that are decisive for her/his research project which made us end up talk about: belief policy practice ordering life place browkerage social rist care persuasion attraction aesthetics appreciation bad will drive surprise pictoresque wasting saving recycling freezer coffee intervene crisis guilt womanhood technology scale order objectivity chocolate experience embeddedness resistance body recalcitrance between value waste
