Advanced seminar
SoSe 21: Anthropology and Theory from the South II
Kai Kresse
Comments
What kind of anthropology is it that we, as scholars and students of the discipline, should or need to be advocating – also and especially with a view to current timely demands for conceptual and structural decolonization? How has anthropological critique questioned the fundamentals of the discipline (of anthropology) itself? How can ethnography be practiced adequately, also to contribute to this? Which programmatic pathways have been sketched out as constructive ways forward? What do we think of them; which others would we like to raise; why? Does the inclusion of, and focus on theory from the South already constitute a fundamental change? How might anthropology engage constructively with thinkers and theoretical contributions from the global South? In which ways, finally, does it matter that we as researchers and social agents are inevitably positioned in certain ways, belonging to regions of the Global North or South?
Building on a first installment from summer last year, this seminar course will pursue these and related questions with a view to some classic and some recent readings, both from within and outside anthropology, and engaging with theorizing from the South, especially from Africa. This semester will include a closer look at ethnography and working with source texts in this field. close
