*Maynooth University, Department of Anthropology* invites you to
the 2017* Ethnography Winter School: Ethnography in the Contemporary *(23-27
January)
A week-long intensive programme involving lectures, masterclasses, group
work and presentations.
What happened to the triumph of market capitalism and the steady march of
liberal democracy? The contemporary landscape seems marked by deep cracks
and fissures, uncertainties and insecurities, populism and paranoid styles
of reasoning. The contemporary, the moving ratio of modernity, seems to be
already ethnographic.
Ethnography is uniquely positioned to speak to the present situation. In
this Winter School, students will learn all about ethnography, from its
scholarly concepts to specific research practices. They will work in groups
to learn together. Together we will ask critical anthropological questions
about the most pressing matters in today’s world.
How should anthropologists respond to the present situation? What do
ethnographic studies of banking and finance, extremist politics or
bureaucracy hope to achieve?
Maynooth’s Department of Anthropology hosts the Ethnography Winter School
each year. The School attracts leading figures in anthropology, from Joseph
P. Masco to Akhil Gupta. This year is no exception. *We are pleased to be
hosting two keynote speakers*:
*Douglas Holmes*, Distinguished Professor of Anthropology, Binghampton
University. Author of *Integral Europe: fast capitalism, multiculturalism,
neofascism* (Princeton 2010) and *Economy of words: communicative
interpretives in central banks *(Chicago, 2014), together with numerous
innovative disciplinary contributions, including a body of high-profile
publications in collaboration with George E. Marcus on experimentation,
collaboration and cultures of expertise.
*Nayanika Mathur*, University of Sussex, author of several publications on
conspiracies, transparency, bureaucracy and the public good, as well as the
important recent book, *Paper Tiger: Law, Bureaucracy and the Developmental
State in Himalayan India* (Cambridge, 2015).
