Team Deutschland is meeting IRL on Monday! Unless Djan is camera-shy, we’ll add a selfie to the platform, too. 
I will try to make today’s meeting but I have a Humboldt meeting the hour before and they don’t always finish within an hour. To update: I’ve finished the codebook additions and definitions for the new German codes and will turn my attention to the homework over the weekend.
Team Poland’s face-to-face meeting won’t be that easy to achieve, I am afraid 
I will skip today’s meeting, so I will share an update on current developments: There are currently 34 uploaded interviews to the platform, and several more will be added today. In the upcoming days, I and @Wojt are going to be coding them, and waiting for the rest of the material to be transcribed:) Another setback and delay are due to my health problems, caused by excessive stress of Phd+ life and living with small children, whom I love dearly but who are little germ spreaders too.
Please message me if there is anything I need to know.
Hey everyone! Wojciech and I are in the call (the link Alberto circulated). We are all alone and very lonely
now it’s three of us! Is anyone else joining?
Sorry, I was late… but now you have left. Anyway, I am available, if you need anything, @Nica and all.
Sorry, my meeting yesterday went on and on.
Can someone remind me how to get into the back end, so that I can add my definitions of the new German codes? (It’s been a while since I did that!) Also, can someone show me how to view all the snippets of text that have been assigned a particular code?
Danke/Grazie/Dziękuję/Dík
At the beginning of any topic, you will see a link for “Coding view”. That gives you access to OpenEthno. Alternatively, you can bookmark direct links, liike https://edgeryders.eu/annotator/codes.
Choose your code from the Codes page, then click on Annotations: example.
@Nica Sorry I’m late with the homework but the analysis of the German interviews is taking me down a new path. A number of the interviewees have criticised the German COVID measures because they turned friends, neighbours and even family members against each other (vaccinated v. unvaccinated), which has undermined the home and family as a space free from outside political influence. This chimes with the idea of the home/family during communist times as “a kind of protective refuge” (Paul Betts) against the Stasi and Communist Party. Their response is then to emulate the 1989 Leipzig demonstrations (which brought down the communist government) and organise mass anti-lockdown/anti-government protests in the big East German cities of Dresden, Leipzig and Berlin. So, I’ve been reading the academic literature about public and private in communist societies, which has slowed me down with the homework. But this should make for a more interesting write-up in the end.
Thank you Richard! That sounds great, very interesting direction, I look forward to seeing what comes out of it. Do you feel like this requires an adjustment to the provisional table of contents/roadmap for the final report?
Re homework, can you please also let me know when you would be able to send it to me, so I can adjust the date in the calendar?
I’ll aim for this Friday!
sounds very interesting Richard. Looking forward to what comes out of it and the bibliography!
Hey everyone unfortunately I tested positive for Covid-19 yesterday evening, will try to catch up with things when I test negative. Symptoms only mild so far. Stay safe and healthy everyone!
Greetings from Team Germany!
Dear all. My daughter Lea and my brother have their birthday celebration today. My family will start to come to my place at around 3 pm CEST. I will - hopefully - log in to our today’s call but will be most probably running away to open the door and stuff. And would not be able to stay online for long.
Get better @Djan!! I will be attending today’s meeting, but I am again half-functional, as it turned out that my heavy flu-like sickness was a misdiagnosed bacterial tonsillitis, and I got the high fever back this week. I am on antibiotics since Wednesday and I am improving, so I will be able to take part in the meeting today:)
Hii team,
My apologies but wont be able to attend today. My flight back to Mallorca is this afternoon so I am leaving to the airport in a bit.
Have a good weekend
Jitka
Hey everyone I will be late to the meeting today, I lost my phone and have to go retrieve it
Noted.
@Nica we ran out of updates that we could discuss without you. Everyone’s logged off, but we can easily get back on the call when you are ready (within reason). So just give us a sign!
