Convener:

Julius-Cezar MacQuarie, an experienced nightnographer, will provoke participants to imagine the lives of nightshifters, often migrant men and women. Whilst night walking together with the participants, he will introduce methods to collect, produce and convey knowledge about those who work the nightshift but remain ‘invisible’ to the dominant diurnal eye and mind.

Co-Convener:

Rafael Clua García is a Social and Cultural anthropologist, and mental health nurse. He will share his experience and knowledge along the planned route. As the group collectively walks through the night, we will capture the different worlds and rhythms that intersect as we move through the nightscape of Barcelona. He also convenes on P041: https://nomadit.co.uk/conference/easa2024/p/14512

Bio: For the past 20 years, Dr Clua García has worked in care services for drug users in the Brians prison (in Barcelona, Spain). Currently, he is conducting an ethnographic study on the phenomenon of ‘narcopisos’ in the Raval neighborhood: homes illegitimately occupied and managed by criminal organizations for the sale and consumption of drugs

Together, we will reflect upon how we can design for urban places at night and how we make Barcelona a more inclusive place for those who work the nightshift and are, thus, alienated from the daytime folks and city services.
