Lecture „Multimodal Ethnographies“ mit anschließendem Kolloquium

Visiting Scholar @ GMPU – Prof. Panayotis Panopoulos, University of the Aegean

Based on decades of anthropological research in Greece on various ethnographic settings, ranging from animal bells and carnival celebrations to the relation of the deaf with sound and the senses beyond hearing, to early forms of sound recordings and the role of sound in migratory experience and memory, the presentation will focus on multimodal ethnography and experimental projects and collaborations between anthropology and contemporary art, on methodological and epistemological/ acoustemological issues of doing anthropology on/ in sound.
