Seminar in Americanist Anthropology
2025-2026 Programme
This seminar offers a reflection on contemporary debates in Americanist anthropology concerning Indigenous societies. It combines perspectives from ethnography, history, politics, economics, linguistics, and ethnomusicology. Covering diverse geographical areas and cultural contexts, it provides a space for discussion among faculty researchers, scholars, and students engaged in ongoing research.
The seminar addresses a wide range of topics, including ritual, social organisation, social and religious change, public policies, and the processes of societal transformation and knowledge construction.
