Religious services as sites of Muße? Everyday religiosity and the experience of worship in Namibia (D05 (P04/C05))

• Subject Area: Social and Cultural Anthropology and Ethnology
• Term: from 2013 to 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 197396619

The project analyses possibilities for working in a state of otium in three fields of professional labour in the Freiburg region today. It attempts to widen these possibilities through interventions jointly designed with employees and employers and uses the resulting situations as an occasion for research on otium, autonomy and heteronomy in capitalist labour. Results will be used for scholarly analyses and shared with civil society groups involved in the research in the form of resource tools.
