Olena Sobolieva: "Anthropology of Catastrophe. Wartime Testimonies from Ukraine"

In the framework of the Anthropological Crossroads Colloqium

Colloquium Anthropological Crossroads

There are a lot of ethnographic research going on in Ukraine right now that capture different levels of social life: volunteering, frontline life, the aftermath of the war. Cycles of interviews with various figures, volunteers, and professionals are also being recorded in many Ukrainian media outlets. The project “In the Thunderstorm of War” is an online collection of interviews with professional historians, anthropologists, and ethnologists who found themselves at the centre of current historical events. This project is one of these many and focuses on the experiences of scholars living through the war in their own country. In the new reality, these people put on military uniforms or joined the ranks of volunteers, finding themselves under occupation, and being subjected toing enemy fire. Interviews are available in English, French, and German.

This project seeks to give Ukrainian academics a voice at a time when their professional opportunities are limited by the war. It aims to make their unique experiences and reflections visible beyond the borders of Ukraine.
