The Anthropology of the Arts Network (ANTART) of EASA is looking for people to get involved in organising and planning future events, helping us with social media, website, and mailing list activities, and to join the active convening team. Besides exchange about current developments in the anthropology of the arts, we plan to hold a network meeting once a year - this summer it’ll be with panels, labs, and meetings in Stockholm for EASA 2018, and next year we’ll hold an interim workshop somewhere else. In 2015, for instance, we held a workshop on concepts between art and anthropology in Barcelona, which was great fun and produced some lively exchange and collaborations. We’d like to repeat and expand on such meetings in the future in different locations and formats.
Please do contact either Roger Sansi or Jonas Tinius directly if you are interested - in whatever capacity - to join the active convening team of the Network, or come and meet us in Stockholm in August at the latest where we’ll have a more informal get-together with a chance to meet the other network members and talk to us about joining. We look forward to hearing from you.
All the best
Jonas and Roger
The objective of the ANTART Network is to advance the scholarship, discussion, and presence of anthropological approaches to the arts. It also seeks to build on its existing network of scholars, artists, and institutions to continue its exchanges with alternative cultural production venues in future EASA locations, thus building links between the university and other public or civil society initiatives. The Anthropology and the Arts network aims to attract researchers working in the arts including but also beyond visual media, including the performative arts, music and sound, theatre, design, architecture, etc. This vast field of research is blooming, but currently underrepresented in EASA. The ANTART network does not contrast other networks, but rather complements them. We are therefore also interested in facilitating cross-over discussions and memberships with other networks in EASA. —> ANTART Website & Mailing list: https://www.easaonline.org/networks/antart/ <https://www.easaonline.org/networks/antart/>
Over the last years, we witnessed a spread of nativist movements across the globe. Reacting to perceived threats of migration and globalisation, they frequently stress nation and belonging. What can we learn from the relations between art, identity, and mobility to think through such movements?
