Ethnographic Imagination Basel
Добавлен 30 ноя 2022
Ethnographic Imagination Basel (EIB) is produced by the Institute of Social Anthropology at the University of Basel. It is a research, educational, and public engagement initiative exploring innovative forms of political imagination through ethnographic practice. The podcast promotes ethnography not only as a tool of scholarly research but also as a mode of imagination available to all, a means for pursuing deeper intercultural, contextual understanding and more ethical ways of being in the world. EIB explores the ways in which ethnographic imagination is used for grasping emerging trends in the global political economic order and the politics of culture and society.
