Накратко на български

„Третите култури“ изследват опита на хора, които съчетават различни идентичности, например чрез използването на транспортни услуги. Разбирането на този опит помага за създаването на по-включващи и устойчиви начини за придвижване в глобализирания свят.

Mobile Worlds: empowering third cultures for sustainable and inclusive mobility

In a heavily globalized world accelerating into a polycrisis at the intersections between environmental, political, and socio-economic axes, it is key to understand how cultural complexity can be embraced and nurtured to allow for diverse locally relevant solutions to emerge. While certain pressures for homogenization seem to increase, especially in economic contexts (e.g. the design of businesses, cafés, available shops), few people around the globe today can avoid to co-exist with people, objects, and services that are somehow based on a culture other than that of their immediate parentage or place of residence. Culture here can refer to national, regional, or local cultures, or to specific sub-cultures that could be associated to a particular religion, sport, lifestyle, minority, etc. Third culture experiences, which emerge from the need to negotiate between varied ways of doing and being, are thus increasingly common, but they are not often recognized as such. However, upon closer inspection, third cultures offer an important source of creativity and a potential for inclusive, contextually rich responses to persistent challenges. Since they are necessarily not homogenous and because they emphasize a struggle that can come close to confronting key questions of group and individual identity, third cultures are not easy to discuss or engage with. The MobileWorlds project therefore has proposed a set of specific tools to carefully, respectfully, but also powerfully access third cultures in individual and group settings, and to reflect on their potential. It has done so in the context of mobility and transport, a field that facilitates the contact between cultures and provides many opportunities, while also posing important challenges to how inclusive and sustainable futures might function. The project studied these topics in Bergen, Norway, and Porto, Portugal, as two distinct Northern and Southern contexts respectively, yet both second major and port cities in their respective countries.

Цел на проекта

The overall goal of MobileWorlds is to explore pathways to better integrate socio-cultural diversity into today's institutions, so they may better deal with contemporary challenges of sustainable mobility and societal inequalities. Such pathways are sought by engaging explicitly with third culture experiences to identify concrete diverse imaginaries and allowing these to feed into equally diverse solutions that can realistically be implemented. Third cultures are unique cultures that emerge from contact with different home and contextual cultures during the formative years of an individual. These third cultures are increasingly common in a globalising world, and may have important repercussions for imaginaries for sustainable and just mobility futures. As such, they provide promising sources for pathways that integrate socio-cultural diversity into today's institutions. Bergen, Norway and Porto, Portugal are known for cultural diversity and advancement in sustainable mobility. Combined, they provide both a Northern and a Southern European perspective and a particularly interesting context within which to research this subject. MobileWorlds delineates four key objectives: (1) To solidify and expand the concept of third cultures, (2) To develop methods and methodologies that encourage artistic engagement of all ages and socio-cultural groups in mobility planning, (3) To engage communities in mobility planning through arts-based events and activities, and (4) To support my future career development through arts-based research and engagement training and expanding academic and artistic networks and experience. The hands-on experience and training will help to accomplish my career goals securing an Assistant Professor position in the field of Mobility Planning or working in public engagement for an NGO promoting sustainable mobility. With such a position I hope to contribute to improve the sustainability and justice of the world through diverse and inclusive approaches.
