Prosjektet fulgte containerskipets livssyklus, fra verft til huggeri.

Om prosjektet

Nesten alle varer vi omgir oss med har tilbakelagt en lang skipsreise, og containerskipet er i dag blitt et av de viktigste symbolene på økonomisk globalisering. Av media blir containerskipet ofte brukt for å visualisere «global virksomhet», i direkte kontrast til et påfallende paradoks: objektet som så ofte er avbilda, er i realiteten svært lite studert, særlig blant samfunnsforskere. Dette gjelder spesielt for det maritime arbeidet rundt containerskip, som sluttbrukerne av de transporterte varene sjelden eller aldri har noe forhold til.

Skipsbygging, skipsfrakt og skipsopphugging er de tre maritime nøkkelindustriene som utgjør de mest sentrale stadiene i et containerskips livssyklus. Målet med prosjektet var å utforske og belyse de verdensomspennende nettverkene rundt disse fartøyene, og arbeiderne som bygger, vedlikeholder og destruerer skipene.

Prosjektet bestod av tre etnografiske delprosjekter - ett som fokuserte på skipsbygging i Sør-Korea og Filippinene, ett om globale shippingprosesser og ett om skipsopphugging i Bangladesh. Gjennom etnografiske og komparative undersøkelser gikk prosjektet i dybden på de viktigste sosiale, politiske og økonomiske forholdene som utgjør globale økonomiske prosesser i dag.
