SUMMARY:Elísio Macamo: "Knowledge: Values and Validity"
DESCRIPTION:The colloquium “Reversing the Gaze” is an interdisciplinary
  forum to reflect on methodological\, conceptual and theoretical issues re
 lated to knowledge production in Area Studies and comparative social scien
 ces. \\r\\nIn this semester\, the colloquium will discuss the changes soci
 o-scientific analytical concepts undergo to be able to render phenomena in
 telligible in different settings. The standard assumption according to whi
 ch concepts\, when properly used\, are independent of context has come und
 er massive critique\, especially within the context of postcolonial and de
 colonial critiques. But does this mean that concepts are hopelessly tied t
 o context and are bearers of normative assumptions? What happens with anal
 ytical concepts when they travel from one historical or regional context t
 o another? What is gained – and what is lost? And (why) should we make c
 oncepts crossing borders at all?\\r\\nThe colloquium takes place online vi
 a Zoom. If you are interested in participating\, please register via email
  to: rtg@unibas.ch [mailto:rtg@unibas.ch].
