colloquium series
Who: Gustavo Lins Ribeiro
Department of Anthropology, University of Brasilia &
Past President, Brazilian Anthropological Association (ABA)
Title: "Postimperial challenges. North the Anthropologist Goes"
Where: 313 Alumni Building (Anthropology Lounge)
When: Friday, August 27, 12 Noon.
Sponsored by the Department of Anthropology, the UNC-Duke Latin American Studies Consortium, and the World Anthropologies Network (WAN)
Drawing on Latin American experiences and highlighting critical challenges to contemporary anthropological theory, Gustavo Lins Ribeiro will discuss the notion of "World Anthropologies," an emerging attempt to rethink anthropology on a planetary level as an open-ended and pluralized endeavor, despite and beyond anthropology's historical origin in European modernity and its connections with capitalism and globalization, and towards anthropological forms that are both less shaped by metropolitan hegemonies and more open to the heteroglossic potential of globalization.
