Minds, Bodies, Environments: Anthropological Knowledge-Making in Unstable World

The first panel from the international conference "Togetherness, Solidarity, Relational Knowledge. Towards a Convivial Anthropology" celebrating the 90th anniversary of ethnology and anthropology at the University of Warsaw, June 9-11, 2025.

Presenting are: Kirsten Hastrum (University of Copenhagen), Ewa Klekot (SWPS University), and Tomasz Rakowski (University of Warsaw)

This panel focuses on possibilities of anthropological awareness and knowledge-making that can be raised and developed in unstable worlds of the present time. Some new approaches to first-hand ethnographic experiences will be invoked - in order to build a larger frame for ethnographic, pre-textual and spatially de-centered methods and anthropological knowledge-making. Finally, in this context, the participants also discuss their views on the topics of uncertainty, change, liquidity, unobvious sociality, and ontological pluriversalism.
