| The British Academy is pleased to announce Radcliffe-Brown Lecture in Social Anthropology Thursday 31 March at 5.30pm at 10 Carlton House Terrace, London SW1
'Beyond Nature and Culture' Professor Philippe Descola Collège de France
A. R. Radcliffe-Brown considered culture 'a vague abstraction' while maintaining a firm belief in the empirical existence of such things as 'nature' and 'social structure'. But these notions are also the product of a historical process and express the specific distribution of ontological properties to beings in the world that the Moderns have devised. Other civilizations have adopted other systems of distribution, resulting in ontologies and principles of aggregation between humans and non humans that differ widely from our own. The challenge for anthropology is to acknowledge this diversity, while retaining the ambition to explain it in non-Eurocentric terms.
Lectures are freely open to the public and everyone is welcome For further information and full abstracts, visit the Academy's website at www.britac.ac.uk/events Telephone: 020 7969 5246 Email: lectures@britac.ac.uk
The lecture will be repeated at the St Andrews University, Fife, Scotland on Friday 15 April. For further details please contact Dr Roy Dilley Email rmd@st-andrews.ac.uk |
