Anthropology in Austria : From the "Blue Danube" to studying the

Anthropology in Austria has long entertained lively, fairly
continuous, and multi-facetted interactions with the UK. These have
ranged from Habsburg Empire citizen Bronislaw Malinowski's odyssey
through London to the Trobriand Islanders, Siegfried Nadel's
emigration to England from Vienna through Berlin, Christoph
Fürer-Haimendorf's dissociation from Nazi-occupied Austria in moving
to British India and later to SOAS; Vienna-born Scarlett Epstein's
affiliation with Max Gluckmann and the Manchester school, to Ernest
Gellner's engagement with those intellectual legacies of Central
Europe in which his parents had grown up. Many of those past
interactions in fact were related to Austrian movements of
intellectual and political thought.

Yet Anthropology in Austria has completely re-organized itself in
recent decades, and has opened up to the world more than ever before.
Today it represents a major branch in German-speaking and European
social anthropology. The RAI's day of anthropology in Austria strives
to take stock of these recent developments by presenting and
discussing major trends, advances, and insights in the fields of
regional studies, qualitative methodologies, and topical areas of
interest. Several of anthropology's key representatives in the
Austrian Academy of Sciences and at the University of Vienna will
reflect critically upon the directions anthropology in Austria is
taking in the early 21st century. This will focus on studies in
Eurasia, Africa, and the Americas, on comparative and historical
methods, and on fields ranging from mobility and refugee studies to
the anthropology of art and of the environment, and medical
anthropology. Contributors will include several mid-career scholars as
well as Ayşe Çağlar, Thomas Fillitz, Andre Gingrich, and Peter
Schweitzer. H.E. Dr. Martin Eichtinger, Ambassador of the Republic of
Austria to the United Kingdom, will give the "Welcome Address".

This event is free, but tickets must be booked. To book tickets
please go to http://austriananthropology.eventbrite.co.uk

Masterclass with Drucilla Cornell: The Spirit of Revolution - Beyond
the Dead Ends of Man

Warwick Social Theory Centre hosts a three day masterclass with renown
feminist philosopher Drucilla Cornell and her co-author Stephen Seely,
exploring themes from their new book The Spirit of Revolution: Beyond
the Dead Ends of Man.

The book seeks to reclaim revolutionary politics and to embrace human
agency for contemporary feminist and queer theory—in which both
revolution and humanism have been effectively disavowed. Whilst
holding onto the feminist critiques of the supposed sovereignty and
universality of Man, they contend that we must nonetheless embrace
human agency and the struggle against colonialism and capitalism. The
book proceeds through a series of 'creolised readings', thinking
Michel Foucault with Ali Shariati, Jaques Lacan with Franz Fanon, and
Baruch Spinoza with Sylvia Wynter. Through this they demonstrate what
is at stake in the ongoing debate between humanism and posthumanism,
putting this in the context of contemporary global crises and
possibilities of revolution.

In their defence of political spirituality Cornell and Seely push for
a new trajectory in response to the gross inequalities of today, one
that offers us a very different view of revolution and its present day
potential.

The masterclass is open to faculty, researchers and postgraduate
students. The class will run from 10.00 to 17.00 on November 8th to
10th. The event is free and will include lunch, but places will be
strictly limited and registration is essential. Please register your
interest in attending here:
