Questions of Evidence: Ethnography and Anthropological Forms of Knowledge=
27-28 January 2007
CRASSH and King's College, Cambridge
Please find a brief conference description below. Further information,=20=
including a provisional programme and downloadable booking form, can be=20=
found at http://www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/events/2006-7/ethnography.html.
Because places are very limited and we have already had quite a lot of=20=
interest in this conference, you are advised to book as early as possible=
.=20
We look forward to seeing some of you there!
Timm Lau, Liana Chua and Casey High (organisers)
This conference aims to provide a platform for ethnographers to criticall=
y=20
evaluate the nature, constitution, forms and uses of 'anthropological=20
evidence'. Ethnographic research now has at its disposal new means of=20
gathering new kinds of data, which may stem from technological changes (t=
he=20
global spread of new media and their consumption), significant shifts in=20=
intra- and international boundaries, as well as an increased focus on=20
interdisciplinary methods and theories. In the process, anthropologists=20=
have had to critically assess the use of 'encompassing' explanatory model=
s -
abstractions like 'culture', 'religion' and 'identity' - in and through=20=
their ethnographic work. This conference will present ethnographic resear=
ch=20
that critically engages such overarching models, as well as explore recen=
t=20
innovative contributions to the recurring question of 'evidence' within=20=
anthropology.
Keynote speakers for this event are Dr. Rita Astuti (LSE) and Prof. Maril=
yn=20
Strathern (Cambridge).
