Social Anthropology Seminar

Monday, 13th November 2017

Dr Jonas Tinius – Humboldt University of Berlin

Back to the Future Heritage: On Palatial Space and Anthropological Collaboration

In this talk, I discuss the negotiation of space, heritage, and notions of difference in contemporary Berlin. My presentation is based on research conducted as part of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation funded project Making Differences in Berlin: Transforming Museums and Heritage in the 21st Century, based in the Centre for Anthropological Research on Museums and Heritage (CARMAH) at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and directed by Prof Sharon Macdonald. Against the backdrop of contentious (ethnological) museum projects in the city, most notably the Humboldt-Forum, my research explores how Berlin-based curators, contemporary artists, and art institutions reflect on and negotiate notions of alterity and diversity through their critical curatorial strategies and projects. As part of this study, I am developing collaborative methods to follow the exhibition making and curatorial planning in these spaces, exploring the boundaries and productive intersections of ethnographic, artistic, and curatorial work as well as the relations between art and anthropology more generally. Before my presentation, we are also briefly speaking about aspects of my previous doctoral research, for which I conducted an ethnography of a contemporary German public theatre in the postindustrial Ruhrvalley in the West of the country. I followed the daily workings of this institution, especially the practice of rehearsing, focusing on how centuries-old German public traditions of self-formation (Bildung) through art have influenced theatres in the country. I analysed the pervasiveness of ideas of self-formation with regard to the logic of state-funding for the arts in Germany, but also studied how this tradition of Bildung brought about and affected a set of artistic values common across the German theatre system revolving around questions of autonomy, the individual, and self-cultivation. 2.016/.017 Second Floor Boardroom, Arthur Lewis Building 4:15 – 6:00pm (Tea and coffee available outside the room from 4:00pm)
