Presentation
The International Colloquium Histories of Latin American Anthropologies: Contemporary Experimentations continues discussions proposed on the occasion of the Colloquium to launch the International Research Network, Transatlantic Histories of Latin American Anthropologies (IRN, CNRS), which took place in Paris in June 2022. The IRN is an international network of researchers made up of anthropologists from Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, France and Portugal, all collaborators and associates of Bérose – Encyclopédie internationale des histoires de l'anthropologie (www.berose.fr). The scientific ambition of the network is to contribute to a transatlantic history of ethnography and anthropology in several Latin American countries (19th-21st centuries), from a comparative perspective, in order to compose a diversified and heterogeneous picture of the anthropologies practiced in the south of the continent and in the Caribbean area. Without disregarding the contexts in which ideas were produced, the term “contemporary” in the title of the I Colloquium (Contemporary Histories of Latin American Anthropologies) indicates the attention given to the uses and meanings of the past for the anthropologies we make today and that we project for the future. future. The same spirit presides over this II Colloquium. It is about undertaking a historical retreat in order to recover subjects, concepts and practices to “rethink anthropology”, in the well-known terms of Edmund Leach. History of anthropology theoretically informed, reflective and self-reflexive, oriented by questions of the present, but rejecting a radical “presentism”, which is skeptical of the writing of history, as well as “antiquarianism”, which carries illusions about the study of the past itself even without relation to the present time. This second meeting aims to focus on “contemporary experimentation” that can be of several types: experimentation with (and against) history; theoretical-methodological experiments; institutional experiments (museographic and museological experiments); experiments with different types of knowledge (academic and non-academic); also with the natural sciences, with the arts and literature. In this sense, participants should prioritize specific cases and examples in order to extract, through analytical diving, broader lessons to be collated and confronted in debates and joint reflections. It is both about going back in time, in order to think with characters and past experiences, as well as shedding light on recent experiments, paying attention to the transits of knowledge and transatlantic flows; to materials and materialities; the inflections of gender, race and sexuality; to new museographic knowledge and shared curatorship. The guiding idea of the colloquium is to invest radically in the idea of experimentation, bringing new subjects and issues to light through risky and daring experiences, listening to them and thinking with them in order to forge new instruments and, who knows, to project other memories. and histories of anthropology. Review different anthropologies made in (and from) Latin America, thinking about their potential for an expanded reflection on anthropological knowledge andtheir reconfigurations, that is the central objective of the meeting.
