Conference description:  

The conference brings together a group of internationally recognized scholars from anthropology and related disciplines to discuss the continued relevance of a holistic perspective in the humanities and social sciences. 

The conference aims at producing a high-profile publication that catalogues the varying ways anthropology has reinvented itself in the wake to the critiques of the 1980s and 1990s in order to engage the new forms of cultural experience, social interaction, global politics and media technologies of the contemporary world.

The conference grows out of an initiative started by the Danish Research School of Anthropology and Ethnography and a number of the proposed authors have already participated in previous PhD workshops on the same topic.

The aim of the conference is to facilitate focussed and productive discussions of the pre-circulated papers.  Participation is therefore restricted to invited speakers only.  There is however an opportunity for up to 10 PhD students from the Danish Research School of Anthropology and Ethnography to participate.
