2nd Cycle of Online Educational Seminars ETHNOGRAFEIN
The Ethnography Club — The Culture-Borders-Gender/Lab is organizing seminars for the academic year 2021-2022 with the theme:
“Public Anthropology and Cultural Heritage”
Coordination: Fotini Tsibiridou – Ioannis Manos
The 2nd Cycle, which begins in November 2021, titled “Public Anthropology and Cultural Heritage,” aims to incorporate the above issues within the framework of ‘Public Anthropology.’ This approach engages with society, intertwining the reflective and empathetic critical discourse of anthropological knowledge with alternative practices of critical publicity.
The concept of ‘cultural heritage’ is chosen, in the current period, as a field of reflection and revision of the neo-Hellenic “Self.” The modern Greek national narrative is articulated through performances, rituals, and symbols in public and private discourse and space, which, through politics and pathways of memory, constitute the dominant narrative about cultural heritage. This narrative, with the assistance of state policies, international organizations, local governance, and other collectives that give meaning and reproduce power relations and hegemonies, refers to the idea of continuity and linear progression of historical time while simultaneously creating many gaps and silences.
In this context, alongside the deconstruction of hegemonic discourses, anthropological approaches seek the meanings and dynamics that silences and gaps acquire in the lives of the different, the subaltern, and the collectives, as they are inscribed within the boundaries, margins, and borders of dominant narratives and cultural politics in the public sphere.
