Published on October 7, 2009 by lorenz Posted in * Conferences, *In Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, antropologi.info calendar, Norway

7.-8. 10.09, Norlandia Karl Johan Hotell Oslo

Antronettkonferansen fokuserer på å oversette antropologisk kunnskap til en mer arbeidslivsorientert kunnskap. I tillegg ønsker konferansen å formidle hva som skjer på forskningsfronten innenfor ulike tema.

Konferansen kan i år skilte med plenumsforedrag av Tian Sørhaug, som skal snakke om antropologi i kunnskapsøkonomien, Iver Neumann, som skal snakke om antropologi og diplomati og Anna Kirah, som skal snakke om å flytte antropologien fra deskripsjon og analyse til å arbeide med mennesker for å iverksette endringer i produkter og tjenester.

I tillegg er det seks arbeidsgrupper fordelt over to dager med følgende tematikk:

1. Britt Kramvig (Norut) & Trine Olsen-Slagman (Kudi): Kan du være min informant?

2. Henrik Sinding-Larsen (Culcom): Kulturendring som en dialektisk prosess i spenningsfeltet mellom personlige relasjoner og upersonlige systemer.

3. Benedicte Brøgger (BI): Å lære av egne erfaringer – og kanskje litt av andres.

4. Cecilie Øien (Fafo): Antropologi og politikkutforming: å formidle antropologisk kunnskap i media og det politiske feltet

5. Ingjerd Hoëm (SAI): Mellom forskning og formidling.

6. Anette Thiis-Evensen (daVinci): Mangfold og bedriftsledelse – viktig, riktig og lønnsomt?

30.9-3.10.09 Frankfurt am Main

Die DGV-Tagung 2009 wird vom 30. September bis zum 03. Oktober 2009 unter dem Titel “Kulturelle Aneignungen: Anpassung – Anverwandlung – Camouflage” an der Goethe Universität Frankfurt a. M. in Kooperation mit dem Frobenius Institut und dem Institut für Ethnologie statt finden.

Während ältere ethnologische Ansätze vorrangig an den Formen des Widerstands gegen kulturelle Außeneinflüsse interessiert waren, rücken neuerdings Strategien der aktiven Auseinandersetzung mit den Herausforderungen der Globalisierung in den Fokus ethnographischer Forschung. Sie sollen auch im Mittelpunkt der kommenden DGV-Tagung zum Thema „Kulturelle Aneignungen“ stehen.

Unter Anverwandlung wird dabei der selektive Umgang mit Kulturimporten sowohl materieller als auch ideeller Art verstanden, die nicht einfach übernommen, sondern an tradierte Lebensformen adaptiert und mit alternierenden Bedeutungen versehen werden. Im Gegensatz zu diesen Formen kultureller Nostrifizierung erfolgt die Anpassung an dominierende Ordnungen als Bruch mit den eigenen Überlieferungen, der – sofern er scheitert – oft forcierte Retraditionalisierungsbemühungen zur Folge hat. Unter dem Begriff Camouflage schließlich lässt sich eine Strategie fassen, die sich den von außen erhobenen Forderungen nur scheinbar beugt, um damit Spielräume zur Verfolgung traditioneller Zielsetzungen zu schaffen.

Conference: A Cosmopolitan Anthropology?

Published on September 15, 2009 by lorenz Posted in * Conferences, *In English, antropologi.info calendar, Great Britain and Ireland

15.9.-16.9.09 University of St Andrews (Scotland)

The purpose of this conference is to assess the place of cosmopolitanism within anthropology, both as an analytical concept and as a political and moral programme. Cosmopolitanism has long been a part of philosophical and political debate, but in recent years recognition of its possible applicability has spread: cosmopolitanism has entered debates on globalisation, transnationalism, diaspora and multiculturalism. Anthropology’s specialism as a study of social relations in global perspective makes it an appropriate venue for an examination of notions of the ‘cosmopolitan’ and their relevance.

The 2006 ASA conference (Association of Social Anthropologists of the Commonwealth) took cosmopolitanism as its central theme, as did the 2007 CASCA conference (Canadian Anthropology Society). A number of edited volumes have recently been published (Vertovec and Cohen 2000, Robinson 2007, Werbner 2008), and new research centres opened. Are these significant developments? Does ‘cosmopolitanism’ offer something original, distinct from conceptualisations of ‘multiculturalism’, ‘globalism’, ‘diaspora’, ‘transnationalism’, ‘hybridity’, ‘pluralism’, ‘ecumenism’ or ‘civil society’?

‘Cosmopolitanism’ provides an umbrella for an array of conceptual, methodological and empirical insights which do not necessarily sit comfortably together: can these distinct perspectives be explored in dialogue without the creation of entrenched intellectual camps? The conference to be held in St. Andrews in September 2009 will take stock and deliver a verdict in the form of a collected volume of papers.

The intuition of the conference organizers is that cosmopolitanism does indeed usefully identify a new anthropological agenda. One does not intend a master-trope or panacea, but the concept is workable for claiming a particular history of inscribing the human, and a future project (Hannerz 2006; Rapport 2007a, 2007b). More than this, cosmopolitanism offers a significant perspective on matters of social policy: on integration in modern society, on the bearers of human rights, on the balance between community memberships and tradition on the one hand and the capability of individuals to be singular authors of their own ongoing identities.
