Rethinking Anthropologies in Central Europe for Global Imaginaries

Original language description

During a two-day scientific conference in Prague (May 26-27, 2014), which gathered specialists on Central European anthropology, we focused on work that brings the anthropology in/of Central Europe explicitly into conversation with conceptual developments in other parts of the globe, building global research imaginaries through theoretically rigorous conceptualization of ethnographic explorations. The conference was supported under the project, Social and Cultural Change in Contemporary Central Europe supported by the International Visegrad Fund and took place at Vila Lanna, a conference center of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic in Prague. In the preparation of the conference, a Scientific Committee was formed composed of representatives of the participating institutions (Alexandra Bitusikova - Matej Bel University in Banska Bystrica, Michal Buchowski - Adam Mickiewicz University, Vlad Naumescu - Central European University, Zdenek Uherek and Hana Cervinkova - Institute of Ethnology of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, v.v). The Scientific Committee issued an open call for papers that was widely distributed by all project partners to more than 20 scientific associations and research and academic institutions. As a result, we received over 40 abstracts and applications from which we made the final selection of 34 papers which were presented at the conference. In addition to 37 invited active presenters and guests, the conference was attended by 16 other participants - anthropologists and graduate students from Prague, bringing the overall number of participants of the two-day event to 53. The conference will result in two publications (thematic volume of Cargo - Journal for Cultural/Social Anthropology and an edited volume Rethinking Ethnography in Central Europe published with published with Palgrave MacMillan.) The language of the conference and publications is English.
