Embodied Worlds - A Podcast by The Jugaad Project

Embodied Worlds explores and connects worlds of experience and perception, big or small by discussing practices of doing and making. This podcast is an educational initiative by The Jugaad Project, a digital OA platform at the intersection of belief/religion, material culture, and embodiment. Embodied Worlds dives deeper into the stories or themes highlighted in the open-access journal. Each 30 min episode features scholars and creatives who circulate worlds of various kinds. Through this we also think about the role of practices as bodies-and-materials. Hosts: Emma Cieslik, Urmila Mohan

    S2 E3 Bodily Wisdom: An Interview with Silvi Naçi

    What does it mean when an artist speaks of paying attention to and using bodily wisdom? In this fascinating interview, co-hosted by photographer and film maker Dora Nano, we hear from Silvi Naçi an art worker and educator working between Albania and Los Angeles who collaborated with qilim weavers in Kosovo to create strikingly intimate works. Through this conversation between Dora and Silvi we hear of the artist's own reflections on their life in the US, the importance of care and conviviality, their channeling of the voices of other artists and thinkers, and how we can reorient ourselves to the world through bodily knowledge and wisdom.

    S2 E2 Cookstove Chronicles: An Interview with Anthropologist Meena Khandelwal

    Who do so many Indian women in India continue to use their wood-burning, smoke-spewing stoves called ‘chulhas’ when they have other options? Meena Khandelwal, Associate Professor of Feminist Sociocultural Anthropology explores this paradox in her new book 'Cookstove Chronicles', published by University of Arizona Press in their series Critical Green Engagements. In this book, based on multidisciplinary collaboration with engineers, archaeologists, development specialists, and others, Dr. Khandelwal discusses chulhas as women’s local low-tech technology as well as craft and work. In doing so she highlights the messy reality of actual behavior. (Listen to the episode to hear a discount code that gives you 30% off the book!)

    S2E1 Convivial Scholarship in an Incomplete World – An Interview with Prof. Francis Nyamnjoh

    In this interview Prof. Francis Nyamnjoh, a world-renowned anthropologist, discusses his life and ideas in the context of being a scholar and publisher. Born in Bum, Cameroon in 1961 and currently teaching anthropology at the University of Cape Town, Prof. Nyamnjoh’s work is inspired by the people he meets as well as African literature like the work of the Nigerian author Amos Tutuola. Francis’ philosophy of conviviality and collaboration is part of his framework of ‘incompleteness’ and he discussed its use in contexts of ecology, healing systems, and knowledge making. We have started our podcast’s second season with this interview of 50 mins. because Prof. Nyamnjoh’s voice and actions embody our values of interdisciplinary engagement, imagination, and acknowledging incompleteness-in-motion as the state of our common world.

    S1E4 You Grind the Ink but the Ink Grinds You! Roland Buckingham-Hsiao

    What does it mean when a calligrapher says "You Grind the Ink but the Ink Grinds You"? To discuss this, we spoke with Dr. Roland Buckingham-Hsiao, a visual artist and researcher and Associate Professor of Art at WenZhou Business College, China. He studied Chinese calligraphy in Taiwan and at the University of Shaoxing in China, and has a PhD in writing as a physical practice from the International Research Centre for Calligraphy at the University of Sunderland, U.K. Through his doctoral work on embodiment, Roland proposes a useful framework by which Chinese calligraphy can be studied through text-image, text-body and text-object relations, including East-West cultural exchange.

    S1E3 Tying Up Loose Ends - An Interview with Jen Simonic

    What is “finishing” and how has this craft practice grown recently to form a global community of kindness? To find out, listen to our interview with the inspiring Jen Simonic, co-founder, Loose Ends. Jen co-founded Loose Ends with Masey Kaplan in August 2022 and it has grown rapidly from 150 finishers to 25,000 finishers worldwide. Both avid knitters, Jen and Masey started Loose Ends with unfinished projects from friends whose family members were deceased. As crafters, they both knew of the generosity of their community as well as how many incomplete projects are left behind when a loved one passes away or can no longer make something due to illness. Jen reflects on finishing as a practice born out of loss as well as hope that resonates with us. Each finished project is one more loose end tied whether in a craft project or in helping people see the community already present around them. Image @winkylewis

    S1E2 Weaving Veils Between Worlds: Lily Hope, Weaver

    What does it mean when a Tlingit weaver says her work is a "veil between worlds"? To find out, listen to our interview with the inspiring Tlingit weaver, artist, teacher, and community facilitator, Lily Hope (Wooshkhindeinda.aat). Hope is a Chilkat and Ravenstail weaver based in Juneau, Alaska, of the Raven moiety, and belongs to her grandmother’s clan, the T’akdeintaan from the Snail House in Hoonah, Alaska. She learned weaving from her mother, master weaver Clarissa Rizal, and artist Kay Field Parker, and is from a matrilineage of weavers and healers. Hope’s weavings are in numerous museums and private collections. Hope reflects on weaving knowledge as a practice of spiritual and cultural making, and how she puts this embodied knowledge into her works. Each creation, much like Hope's life, mediates between worlds of the spiritual and mundane, the community and wider world. Image @sydneyakagiphoto

    S1E1 Dancer or Grasshopper? Anthropologist Jean-Pierre Warnier

    Is the anthropologist more like a dancer or grasshopper when in the field? Can the subjectivation or ‘making’ of an anthropologist be reconstructed through their network of encounters? What can those of us who are not social scientists learn about relationships from this inquiry? To discuss this, join our hosts Urmila Mohan and Emma Cieslik as they talk with Jean-Pierre Warnier, a French anthropologist who was invited in the 1970s by the then Fon of Mankon in Cameroon, Africa, to conduct his doctoral research. This was the start of a long relationship with the kingdom and its people. A co-founder of the 'Matière à Penser' group (MaP), Warnier’s bodily-and-material approach to the study of practices, derived in part from his work in Mankon, enhances our understanding of how worlds-in-motion are created.
