The
Department of Ethnography and Social Anthropology, University of
Aarhus
aims to conduct research and teaching of the highest standard and
to interact actively with the international anthropological community,
with other academic milieus and with the society at large.
The
Department's research effort is guided by three overall commitments
and central fields of endeavour:
-
Anthropological theory will be the object of critical and historical
analysis and will be further developed in relation to specific
research themes as specified below.
- The
Department will actively engage methodological and epistemological
problems of anthropological research, resulting from changing
field situations, the movement of people and things, the global
connectedness of social and cultural phenomena, as well as interdisciplinary
collaboration.
- The
department will critically examine, develop and promote various
forms of representation of anthropological knowledge: through
writing, museum exhibitions, audio-visual medi (in particular
ethnographic films) and the Internet. In this context the Department
highly values its ongoing co-operation with the Moesgård
Museum.
The
priority research themes include:
- Globalisation
and development
- Culture
and politics
- Medical
anthropology
