About

I studied Cultural and Social Anthropology, Comparative Sciences of Religion, and Romanic Languages (Spanish) in Tuebingen and Grenade/Spain. After having been employed as an academic assistant at the department for Social and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Tuebingen and at the University of Konstanz, I am currently working on my PhD thesis on an independent basis. Within the frame of my doctorate, I am intensifying my empirical research on discourses and practices regarding the encounter between Christian and Muslim, European and (North) African cultures/life worlds in the border area between Spain and Morocco – may they be located beyond politics or consciously politicised.
My main focus is set on the theme of past and present Moroccan immigration to Spain and on the diverse forms of local folklore and festivals, on cultural memory and symbolical practices of putting on stage the ‘Own’ in confrontation and/or dialogue with the cultural, religious and ethnic ‘Other’.
