The crises of the present, be it the various financial crises of recent years, the cover pandemic, the war in Ukraine or the ecological crises, show us the manifold interconnections and interdependencies that structure our current world. They are the central focus of this interactive lecture. We observe contrasting responses to these factual interdependencies, some who urge them to be reflected in more just global institutions, and others who see the way out of the crises in disentanglement, in greater autonomy.
Anthropological research has long been concerned with these multilayered interconnections and how they shape local events and are in turn shaped by them. Transnationalism stands as a term for a bundle of phenomena that have emerged as a result of the globalization of economic relations and the circulation of ideas, norms, and values. States are an authoritative factor in these networks. The globalized world is centrally shaped by state institutions, such as borders, international agreements, and national policies with effects that go far beyond the polity they are designed in. At the same time, statehood is significantly influenced by transnational processes, be it migration movements, export of rights or economic linkages. The concrete implementation, reproduction and transformation of statehood in local contexts is thus substantially shaped by international and transnational processes and interactions. In this context, anthropological research has investigated, for example, how economic, social, political, or religious ideas become operative in different places; how models of a "good (state) order" are appropriated and enforced; or how communalization processes or strategic action by social groups across state borders produce new forms of social organization. This interactive introductory lecture provides insights into current fields of research dedicated to these contexts. |
