Seminar 6th June: Performing, Writing and Doing Ethnography
The Örecomm seminar "Performing, Writing and Doing Ethnography" will be held at Roskilde University on Monday 6th June 2011 at 13.00-17.00.
The seminar will present different approaches to ethnographic method in culture and media research, with regard to social activism and the public sphere in transitional societies. It ranges from doing ethnography in a Tanzanian street context, over the exploration of disciplinary boundaries between litterature and ethnograhy when exploring fiction and social transition in South Africa and Argentina, via Zimbabwean diasporic web communities, to the challenges of coverting ethnographic text from youth North American voices into a staged performance.
Speakers are Debra Spitulnik Vidali, Oscar Hemer, Ylva Ekström, Anders Høg Hansen, Hugo Boothby, and Hilde Arntsen.
The seminar is organised by Ørecomm, a crossborder centre for communication and glocal change. Ørecomm is supported by EU - Interreg IV A.
