DESCRIPTION:\nSocial Anthropology Seminar\n\nMonday\, 13th November 2017\
 n\nDr Jonas Tinius – Humboldt University of Berlin\n\n\nBack to the Futu
 re Heritage: On Palatial Space and Anthropological Collaboration\n\nIn t
 his talk\, I discuss the negotiation of space\, heritage\, and notions o
 f difference in contemporary Berlin. My presentation is based on researc
 h conducted as part of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation funded proj
 ect Making Differences in Berlin: Transforming Museums and Heritage in t
 he 21st Century\, based in the Centre for Anthropological Research on Mu
 seums and Heritage (CARMAH) at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and di
 rected by Prof Sharon Macdonald. Against the backdrop of contentious (et
 hnological) museum projects in the city\, most notably the Humboldt-Foru
 m\, my research explores how Berlin-based curators\, contemporary artist
 s\, and art institutions reflect on and negotiate notions of alterity an
 d diversity through their critical curatorial strategies and projects. A
 s part of this study\, I am developing collaborative methods to follow t
 he 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 anthropol
 ogy more generally.\nBefore my presentation\, we are also briefly speaki
 ng about aspects of my previous doctoral research\, for which I conducte
 d an ethnography of a contemporary German public theatre in the postindu
 strial Ruhrvalley in the West of the country. I followed the daily worki
 ngs of this institution\, especially the practice of rehearsing\, focusi
 ng on how centuries-old German public traditions of self-formation (Bild
 ung) through art have influenced theatres in the country. I analysed the
  pervasiveness of ideas of self-formation with regard to the logic of st
 ate-funding for the arts in Germany\, but also studied how this traditio
 n 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.  \n2.016/.017\nSecond Floor Boa
