Americanist Anthropology Seminar

2023-2024 programme
Anthropologie américaniste, agenda FMSH
The Americanist Anthropology Seminar explores contemporary debates in Americanist anthropology as they relate to Native American societies, drawing on perspectives from ethnography, history, politics, economics, linguistics and ethnomusicology. Alternating between different geographical areas and cultural contexts, it provides a forum for discussion between teachers, researchers and students on current research projects. The seminar covers a wide range of themes relating to ritual, social organization, social and religious change, public policy, the transformation of societies and the construction of knowledge.
