Chair: Marc Piault
Panel Short Abstract:
This panel will focus on that projects that are crossing barrier between
research and socio-political intervention, in order to reflect on how power
relationships are developed in so called 'collaborative' projects.
Panel Long Abstract:
The word collaboration has been strongly present in the history of cultural
anthropology, in particular since 1922, with the first two example of this
practice. Malinowski monograph and Flaherty documentary, has marked
anthropologists imagination with the embryonic possibility of producing
shared text, result of collaboration with 'subjects'. Jean Rouch works has
also been emblematic of this practice. Since Sixties, especially in visual
anthropology, the aim of producing shared representation underlined various
experimentations. Nowadays, we can say that this expertise on research
collaboration processes' creation is a heritage of anthropology.
Moreover in many societies the words 'collaboration' or
'participation' are used within many political frameworks in order to
underline an intimate connection with power groups and 'recipient' of
social and political projects. Many case studies evidence this global
trend. Furthermore, it is also detectable a process of 'ideologization' of
participation, strategy useful to hide power relations and hegemonic
influences. This panel's aims are to reflect on contribution of
anthropological theory and ethnological practice to the topic of
collaboration. On a de-constructive level, this panel could be a platform
to reflect on how power relationships are developed in collaborative
projects: which are the limits of collaboration between researchers and
researched? How institutions influence this relationship? Which is the role
of scientific associations this debate? It is necessary create ethics code
useful to protect 'research subjects'? We invite the submission of projects
that are using collaboration, as well as to respond to those questions,
also to cross that barrier between scientific research and socio-political
intervention.
