Join us as a listener or participate in our fruitful discussions. Let us explore the present of our world and think about its future together in a friendly and egalitarian environment, uniting education and fun! In our globalized societies there are coexisting different medical systems and other knowledge about health that on one hand compete for their believers and on the other influence each other and due to on-going syncretism and hybridization we are faced with more and more methods and techniques of taking care for our health and body. This is not only changing the conceptions of health and disease and the perceptions of our bodies but it also influences our daily lifestyles. On every step we hear about “healthy life style” and “healthy body” – and about ... more »

Presentation of fieldwork among guni, traditional Indian healersDenis Oprešnik will present a part of his fieldwork among guni, traditional healers in Rajasthanu (India). Guni is a relatively new concept which appeared in recent history and became a marker for a wide group of healers, coming from different cultural, geographical and political contexts. Despite heterogeneity, can we speak of shared identity? Who presents a common denominator which a potential new identity is built on, and what are it’s effects? How to even become a guni and what does this bring with it?These are some of the questions which we will try to answer on this week's ASS.The presentation will be accompanied with some photo and video material and will be followed by heated discussion. Join us!P.s.: This time ASS will be held in Slovenian, for anyone who doesn't understand, we will try to help with simultaneous summarizing.For additional information or to contribute some ideas, suggestions, contact us: ass.collective10@gmail.com... more »

Anthropology Student Sessions (ASS)

Film projection: I will carry you to the seasideWednesday, December 5th 2012 at 19hInfoshop, AKC Metelkova Mesto This week we will be screening an ethnographic film I will carry you to the seaside by Manca Filak, student of ethnology and cultural anthropology. Her film focuses on perception of the body and the sitygm of otherness, that is imposed upon people with severe body traumas. »Nina and Domen are a couple for a year. Nina is on a wheel chair, because she has cerebral palsy, which spasms her muscles. Domen survived severe traffic accident 18 years ago, which in a way also marked him for a life time. Both of them have a strong experience of survival and obstacles that are brought by physical injuries. They also know how it is to be different in the eyes of others who at the same time determine who or what is different. Film with a big extent of intimacy takes the viewer through their relationship, with an emphasis on their first vacation at the seaside – first time alone, first time as a couple and first time as''everybody else''.«- Manca Filak, author Film has a duration of 35 minutes. After the projection discussion will follow. You are all welcome to join us!For more informaition or to contribute some ideas and comments, please contact:anja.ipsilon@gmail.comrejc.jernej@gmail.com... more »

AN INTENSIVE WORKSHOP - Performativity and Ritual: Crossroads

Department of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology organizes AN INTENSIVE WORKSHOP - Performativity and Ritual: Crossroadsheld by Radharani Pernarčič, Sonja Zlobko and Rajko Muršič, PhD, full professor/reader  27th – 29th March 2010 At the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia in BratislavaAddress: Moyzesova 4, 813 15 Bratislava, Slovak Republic Costs: There is no workshop fee. A van will be organized by the epartment, which leaves no travel expenses for the students. Accommodation will be arranged at a hostel (approx. 30 Euro).The workshop will be in English (in case if needed, translations into Slovenian and Slovakian will be assured).In the time when contemporary anthropology increasingly dips-into and produces knowledge about practice and embodiment, while contemporary dance theatre faces numerous questions of performativity and dance dramaturgy, it becomes obvious that the two can establish a constructive interdisciplinary link. The up-coming workshop has its bases in a dance project Polne sob s priprtih hodnikov which was successfully carried out in autumn 2009 in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and had thoroughly integrated anthropological research into a dance performance. Whether the collaboration proved such interdisciplinary work to be very fruitful and powerful, it has also raised many further important questions as well for anthropologists as for choreographers and performers. In attempt to further investigate options of applied anthropology in dance theatre and mutual efficacy of such disciplinary collaboration show the workshop will focus on: • Examining a new role of anthropologist in theatre – linking choreography, dramaturgy and performing.• The role of anthropology as a container of specific knowledge which can help creating coherent content and context by elaborating meanings and symbolization within an abstract movement expression. ... more »

The 7th MASN Conference ´Ethics and Human Rights in Anthropological Perspective´!

The 7th MASN Conference 'Ethics and Human Rights in Anthropological Perspective'!Conference takes place in Krzyżowa, PolandMarch 24th – 28th 2010Conference days will be divided in morning (papers presentation) and afternoon (roundtable discussions, workshops) sessions as well as fringe events (excursions, exhibitions, performances, films and other) in the evening. Each of the full conference days will be devoted to one of the subtopics: Anthropology of DevelopmentFieldwork DilemmasHuman Rights – Relativity and Universalism of CategoriesAnthropology of Development:Development, a term which evolved from western idea of progress is nowadays widely used to describe the improvement of human living conditions. What we would like to discuss is, how the idea of development influences various cultures, and how it is influenced by them, and finally, what is the price we pay for development. We are interested in comparative studies of the idea of development as well as in fieldwork experiences of young researches.Fieldwork Dilemmas:For this subtopic we invite papers, workshops and roundtables concerning the dilemmas ahtropologists face while researching cultures which axiological systems are totally different from their own and strategies they develop to cope with the disonance. Young anthropologists presenting their papers on their own ethical dilemmas during the fieldwork would be much favoured.Human Rights – Relativity and Universalism of Categories:Are Human Rights an universal set of principles valid for every human being, despite their creed, colour and culture, as they are meant to? Or are they just another form of western colonialism? Shall the antropologist protect these values or rather accept cultural norms which contradict them, no matter how oppressive they are? Is relativity of qualities all that we are left with in the multitude of cultures or can we speak ... more »

Dialektus Festival: European Documentary and Anthropological Film Festival

Dialektus FestivalEuropean Documentary and Anthropological Film FestivalBudapest, 2010, March 3-9.www.dialektusfesztival.hu Enter your documentary into the competition or into the student film competition of the festival! Submissions deadline: 2009, September 25.Payer submissions deadline: 2009, October 9. Some of the films we saw this March are still in our mind's eye, however we are already preparing for next year's festival. At any given time we may recall the neon coloured sculpture of Rhunama, the so-called Holy Book manifesting the megalomania of the Turkman dictator, as well as remembering the Palestinian sportsmen and –women practising with track tires for the Olympic Games in Beijing, or the overcrowded elevator of ’Chicago block’ in the outskirts of Antwerp, the mature hippies who refused to return to welfare society after the sixties and seventies India-mania…  These stories now belong to us too! We own them all, because we have seen them, we could laugh and cry, fret, remember and live together with people we would never have got to know without documentaries and the people who made them… We ate up the world this March, but that feast is long over and unfortunately (or even fortunately) our appetites are whetted again, and admittedly we're already looking out for next year's menu... Give us more! This year we had 47 films from 17 countries in competition, all of them were (and still are!) available in the archive of DocuArt Shed, one of the festival's locations.Our aim for next years March is to surprise and delight the audience with at least as many splendid documentaries on Dialektus Festival 2010. For this we hardly need more than for auteurs to make their films and then… send them to us. From now on we’re awaiting entries for Europe’s most creative and keen documentary film competition! If you are a filmmaker and you have a documentary film made in 2007 or later, we hope to receive your entry before 25 September, 2009! Are you a notorious latecomer? Do not give up! It is possible to send us your application until the 9th of October 2009 on the understanding that you must pay a default fee. Like in previous years, we reserve a separate category for student films. Watch out: competition is pretty tough in the “Student Work” section!   Direct access to the application form: http://www.dialektusfestival.hu/doc/dialektus_entry_form_2010.doc ... more »

Call for Papers Conference Proposals: Criminalities, Cultures, and Policing in the Global Era

New Frontiers of Race: Criminalities, Cultures, and Policing in the Global Era May 29, 2009 Center for the Study of Race, Politics and CultureUniversity of ChicagoThe Center for the Study of Race, Politics and Culture at the University of Chicago and the academic journal Identities: Global Studies in Culture and Power solicit paper proposals for a day long conference to be held on the campus on May 29, 2009. "New Frontiers of Race: Criminalities, Cultures, and Policing in the Global Era," seeks to intervene in the discursive,material, and ideological debates involving criminalities, cultures, policing, and race in a global era. Associations among race, criminality, deviancy, and delinquency continue to suffuse popular representations in the media and in the social sciences. Research on marginalized, racialized, and impoverished populations have long been fodder for an academic cottage industry throughout the history of the social sciences. Indeed, the insurgent intellectual formation of Ethnic Studies has been distinguished by a critical intellectual demand for the visibility, recognition, and self-representation of the subjugated, exploring their repressed histories and the social conditions of communities of color. As such, Ethnic Studies was largely premised upon an explicit critique of the complicity of conventional academic disciplines with hegemonic representations that silenced and pathologized these same communities. This conference will explore new genealogies and approaches to deviancy, pathology and criminality that grapple with these longstanding issues. Do migrations, diasporas, borders, and other transnationalisms disrupt ideologies and discourses of pathology? Do the stakes in the debates surrounding pathology and related problematic representations of people of color shift as they ascend to the highest echelons of power? Conference paper proposals are welcome on the following themes but are not limited to these: identity politics and the politics of multiculturalisms; post-racial discourses and ideologies; "cultures" of poverty and/or "poverties" of culture; pathologies and gendered or sexual normativities; new studies and/or genealogies of criminalities, delinquencies, deviances, and pathologies; the politics of transgressions or non-normative politics; "cultures" of policings, deportations, and carcerality. Jasbir Puar of Rutgers University and Nicholas De Genova of Columbia University have confirmed their participation as our keynote speakers. Papers presented at the conference will be considered for publication by Identities: Global Studies in Culture and Power.All expenses - transport and housing - will be provided for persons chosen to present. ... more »

NON-CENTRAL DOMAINS: VIDEO ART IN SLOVENIA IN THE 1980

Curators: Igor Španjol, Alenka GregoričFebruary 19 – March 13, 2009You are kindly invited to attend the opening of an exhibition on Thursday, February 19 at 8 pm at Galerija Škuc. Apart from a few art projects made especially for television, throughout the '80s the television medium primarily engaged in the presentation of video art within the framework of cultural presentations in general. The television broadcast of video seems to represent self-evident and effective solution to two principal problems of art video production. These problems are a lack of adequate exhibition and screening facilities for the presentation of video works on the one hand, and the promotion of such presentations among viewers on the other. Nevertheless, the affirmation of video art on television has been hindered by the prejudice that video is a matter of independent production and that video aesthetics is not compatible with television, which has become a reference point for aesthetic taste, social engagement and mass entertainment. If video is envisioned as a unique work of art requiring a museological context of presentation, the video tape is in a worse situation than the video installation, for instance, whose spectacular character is more likely to »strike« the audience. Video artists who allow their video works to be broadcast on television are exploiting this potentials of the mass medium. Although these potentials are not strange to video, video never completely fuses with the television environment. A situation thus develops in which video becomes a means of expression, or an art form, without the aura suggested by Walter Benjamin.Besides the fact that the context of a video inevitably changes when broadcast on television, a video also becomes susceptible to a wide variety of expressive and formal changes as a consequence of the individual interventions of the viewer. Here I have in mind different models of television sets, and thus various screen dimensions, as well as optional settings of intensity, brightness, colour, sharpness, contrast, and volume. Variations in the incorporation of a television set into living premises are also important; these often border on sculptural or conceptual installations. The effects of these interventions surpass the level of transformation, which Benjamin defined as the mechanical process of reproduction. Electronic reproduction therefore unavoidably disrupts the original video image in its essence, while the status of the broadcast video as an object still remains within the limits of the humanistic dogma that prohibits a machine from becoming an object of faith, and video remains a tool of ideological interpellation. Rastko Močnik recognizes the role of the permeations of mechanistic humanism, which lies precisely in the fact that ideology, substantiated in electronic apparatuses, evidently transcends them. The progressiveness of electronic technology comes into view precisely at the moment when it becomes the technology of discourse itself, and its ideological potential exceeds the requirements of (the discourse of) the ruling ideology[1].In the case of the television »documentary« made by a video artist in the role of creator of a programme about another video artist or group, the question arises ... more »

Symposium "Anthropology of Men, Masculinities and Health"

INVITATION AND CALL FOR PAPERSFreie Universität Berlin (FUB), 15-16.05.2009For a long time ethnography was written by men for men and about menwithout any reference to gender hierarchies and men?s genderedsubjectivit ies. Men were treated as unmarked category or normativebaseline on which knowledge about a certain society or culture could bebuilt upon. The Feminist and Postmodern Critique challenged patriarchalsocial science and raised awareness about the situation of women withinthe gendered politics of everyday life. Subsequent to this movementthere has been a growing number of studies focusing on men as genderedsubjects, bound to construct their identity in relation to subordinatedwomen and femininities, as well as in opposition to a number ofmarginalized ?other? masculinities. Ethnography has played a pivotalrole in demonstrating the cross-cultural variance in models for and ofmanhood, and in recognizing the intersections of gender identities withsocial class, ethnicity, images of "race" and sexuality. In thiscontext, major attention has been paid to discourses about divergentmodels of masculinity as historically constructed ideal typeschallenged through illness, suffering, and unemployment inpost-industrial, late-capitalist societies.In recent times, a growing number of scholars call for a shift of focusfrom discourses about hegemonic or subordinate masculinities, towards amore intricate study of social practice including the ambiguous andcontext specific performance of manhood. While there are still certaindominant models of and for masculinity (and femininity), complex modesof switching between divergent subject positions within time and spaceare found to be at odds with monolithic identities both self-ascribedand attributed by conventional social science. Notwithstanding somenotable exceptions the embodiment of manhood in relation to thesomatisation of social relations, as well as the bodily expression ofillness and suffering are largely under-theorized. By extension littleis known about how medical technologies and public health change, if atall, male patient's and healer?s subjectivities. Although gender hasreceived significant attention in Medical Anthropology, research wasdominated by female studies. Men's health and men in medical practiceare still under-researched issues. There are few factors determiningthis state of affairs. One of them is traditionally strong connectionof Medical Anthropology to marginalized and oppressed groups, andfeminist critique. Another factor is various masculinity idealsthroughout the world that influence men's mutedness in the context ofillness, pain and suffering. This has also a negative impact onconventional methodologies in Medical Anthropology.We are looking for papers that will offer fresh and various approachesto manhood and masculinity in the context of health, theory,methodology and practice. For purposes of this symposium and a plannedvolume we will not define masculinity or manhood, but will ratherinvite authors to work with diverse definitions and understandings ofthe term and phenomenon, thus leaving it fluid. Also, we are interestedin a variety of topics related to male presence in the field ofmedicine. Some issues might include, but are not limited to:-    Men's reproductive health and the biopolitics of masculinity-    Gender-based violence and public health-    Men's occupational health-    Men and Sexually Transmittable Infections-    Preventive medicine and male health practices; health and illness behavior, and health seeking-    Men's health movements-    Female dominated practices (e.g. abortion) and male identity-    Men in ... more »
