Tidspunkt

Onsdag 21. maj 2014,  kl. 10:30 - 14:00

Sted

Aud. 1, Moesgaard

Tim Flohr Sørensen will give us his take on the contemporary relationship between anthropology and archaeology, a relationship that is undergoing explosive development.  New forms of cooperation are opening up as archaeologists look to anthropology to imagine sociality, ontology, practice, and power differently in their material and as anthropologists look to archaeology for new insights on human evolution, landscapes, and materiality, to name but a few areas.  

Tim Flohr Sørensen works on the cutting edge of the former divide between anthropology and archaeology on topics such as death, fire, temporality, landscapes, and absence.

Come to the seminar to hear Tim’s interpretation of the emergent new relationship and for a discussion of the ways in which Moesgaard can learn from it.

There will will be coffee and chance of a biscuit

All Faculty and students are welcome
