Non-Human in Anthropology:An Interdisciplinary Conference

Publication

Abstract

An international conference for mainly PhD students.The conference topic of the non-human in anthropology was for the conference purposes dividend into three sections.The “non-human and hybrid” section concentrated on the relations of human and non-human organisms from the view point of anthropology and related disciplines.The “material culture” section focused at topics generally analysed within material culture studies.The topics of space and landscape were dealt with in the “space” section because of the importance they hold for social science and because of their implicit presence in virtually all anthropological research and thinking.Such a conference structure stems from the fact that non-human forms an inseparable part of anthropology and related disciplines,which is however rather implicitly present than openly analysed within Czech anthropology.The conference aim was thus present the non-human as a topic and to stimulate theoretically and empirically grounded debate about it.
