Comment/Description

This 5-part workshop lays the ground for engaging in the methodological and theoretical contributions of Black feminism to Anthropology. We will engage with films, texts, and photography to explore the ways in which Black feminist theory and praxis offers an inter-sectional lens to consider the registers of race, gender and class - dimensions that are of rele-vance to all ethnographic work. It is also an opportunity for us to consider the contributions of Black anthropologists such as Zora Neale Hurston who was arguably the first visual anth-ropologist and whose methods anticipated the use of speculative methods such as ethno-fiction, critical fabulation as well as pioneering visual and sonic methods. This workshop will be a chance for us to be in discussion with various works and scholars who have often been excluded from the canon but whose contributions are essential to the discipline.
Literaturempfehlung: A full reading list will be provided in October. Readings will be re-quired to have been completed before the start of the workshop in January.
