DESCRIPTION:\nSocial Anthropology Seminar\n\nMonday\, 24th October 2016\n
 \nPeter Wade – University of Manchester\n\n‘’   Liberalism and its contr
 adictions: Democracy and Hierarchy in Mestizaje and Genomics in Latin Am
 erica”\n\nThis talk explores Latin American genomic studies of mestizaje
  and the way mestizaje’s inherent contradiction between equality and hie
 rarchy—a contradiction typical of liberalism—is managed in genomics. In 
 Latin America\, ideologies and practices of mestizaje may be seen as an 
 antidote to hierarchies of race and class\, but also as a terrain for th
 e enactment of these hierarchies. Mestizaje mediates this contradiction 
 between equality and hierarchy first by deploying the idea of sexual int
 imacy and family kinship across racial difference\; and second by repres
 enting blackness and indigeneity as spatially peripheral and temporally 
 backward-looking\, thus naturalizing them as other. Multiculturalism can
  be seen as a recent variant on these themes\, as well as a departure fr
 om them. Recent genomics research in Latin America strongly reiterates t
 hese ideas\, while also adding some new twists. Despite its apparent con
 nection with progressive politics and policies (anti-racism\, better hea
 lth for all\, protection of human rights for victims of oppression)\, ge
 nomics here appears as a mainly conservative force.\n\n\n2.016/2.017\,\n
