| Title |
Lecture Series: Introduction to Research Interests at the Department of Social Anthropology |
| Description |
In this lecture series, professors teach their own fields of interest and present their current research projects. This offers students an insight into various key topics that are explored and taught at the institute, as well as recent developments in the discipline:
- Stefan Leins deals with the production, consumption and circulation of goods in the context of economic anthropology. He pays particular attention to commodity trading, transnational supply chains and financial markets as central arenas of contemporary capitalism. In addition to the question of economic practices, he is also interested in the social role of economic expertise and the relationship between the market and morality.
- Julia Eckert focuses on political anthropology and examines power relations and structures, responsibility, political participation and the role of protest and participation based on the example of contemporary democracies. In legal anthropology, she deals with questions of criminalisation processes and punishment as well as questions of legal pluralism in an increasingly also legally entangled world.
- In the field of anthropology of migration, Sabine Strasser presents her work on questions of social boundaries as well as on the effects of border regimes as entangled with global mobility injustices. In doing so, she addresses questions of feminist anthropology and humanitarianism and analyses not only ethical dilemmas but also emotional controversies in the context of immigration and deportation.
- Tobias Haller deals with an ecological anthropology characterised by political ecology, which examines environmental perception and power relations, including various ontologies with (not only) human environmental needs. He also deals with questions of collectively regulated forms of property as well as challenges posed by land grabbing, nationalisation and privatisation.
- Michaela Schäuble presents her work on media anthropology and deals with the mediation of effects of our new data worlds and with different forms of knowledge generation and communication (film, podcast, blog). She introduces theories of multimodal and sensory ethnography, ethnographic film, forms of embodied representation and artistic research and illustrates these with ongoing media practice research.
- Public Anthropology at the Institute is concerned with the possibilities of assuming a critical role in the Swiss public sphere. Rohit Jain reflects on the boundaries and relationships between ethnography, journalism, art and civic engagement in post-migrant and post-colonial Switzerland.
- Young researchers from all of the Institute's key research interests will present various projects and activities in a round table and discuss the social significance of social anthropology in the context of changing economies, politics, mobilities, ecologies and media landscapes.
- The lecture series will conclude with a World Café and an exchange between students. |
