Prepared for the CMP Special Issue on "Embodied Belonging" guest edited by Dominik Mattes & Claudia Lang. A Japanese medical activist observes that residents of I yoseba i , or underclass enclaves in urban Japan, tend to be abandoned by society in ways that leave a "deep hole inside their body" (Kim [17]). Rather, they draw us into zones of encounter that are cultivated, at times even choreographed, by people whose sociopolitical belonging is well-established - Japanese medical activists in one case (Kim [17]), German ethnographer-authors affiliated with a psychotherapy clinic in the other (von Poser and Willamowski [26]). If in Kim's paper we find medical activists enacting radical creativity, in von Poser and Willamowski's this is the task of the ethnographers themselves. [Extracted from the article]
