Program of the second edition of the "Anthropology Field School"
The second edition of the “Anthropology Field School” takes on the topic of Objects, Time, Transmission. It explores how artefacts—their materiality, surfaces, and substances, but also their investment with meaning, affect, and desire—shape ways of being in time. How do objects help us craft and anchor the temporalities of inheritance, genealogy, and attachment? And how are histories of social ruptures, failures, and discontinuities transmitted through objects? Over seven days in the Transylvanian village of Criț, Brașov county, Romania, MA students from Basel and Bucharest and anthropologists from England, Switzerland, and Romania will explore will explore this theme through lectures, excursions, informal discussions and a film screening.
