Abstract
The aim of this event is to engage with and learn from past efforts in critical self-reflection into the discipline’s colonial entanglement and attempts to re-envisage epistemological and methodological approaches to anthropology that tackle eurocentric biases and colonial continuities. An early attempt was the publication of the volume ‘Jenseits des Eurozentrismus. Postkoloniale Perspektiven in den Geschichts- und Kulturwissenschaften’, co-edited by Sebastian Conrad and Shalini Randeria. The book – first published in 2002 and revised in 2013 – was extremely influential in bringing the postcolonial debate to a broad German-speaking readership across many disciplines.
In conversation with Shalini Randeria (CEU), this event aims at revisiting the key intentions and challenges of introducing these perspectives to the debate in Germany. We will ask what it actually means to think beyond eurocentrism and engaging in an anthropology that is cognizant of entangled histories of modernity, and what key conceptual and methodological challenges these entail for ‘decolonizing’ anthropology. Furthermore, we will discuss the current state of postcolonial critique admidst the rise of the far-right and authoritarian “anti-intellectualism” (Fassin 2024).
