How do we make more-than-human relations come alive in our research? Human speech and written texts are key sources of reference, but how do we account for sociality beyond words and human perspectives? What forms of research and knowledge enable the exploration of multi-species worlds? How make our writing less anthropocentric in the Anthropocene?

Norsk antropologisk forening ønsker velkommen til fagdag med årsmøte. Arrangementet holdes ved Universitetet i Oslo, fredag 23. august 2019.

Femti år etter at antologien "Ethnic Groups and Boundaries" ble utgitt, inviterer vi antropologer fra inn- og utland til å anvende og videreutvikle denne arven etter Fredrik Barth og hans kolleger. Alle er velkomne til å høre deres innlegg!

Fifty years after Fredrik Barth's «Ethnic Groups and Boundaries» was published, Thomas Hylland Eriksen and Marek Jakoubek assess its impact, importance, as well as its shortcomings.

Registration is now open for the international conference 'GLOBAL TRACES: Art Practice, Ethnography, Contested Heritage',  at the University of Oslo, 7- 8 February 2019.
