Colloquium

Book Roundtable: "Material Culture in Transit: Theory and Practice"

Anthropological Crossroads Colloquium, Institute of Social Anthropology

The roundtable engages in a lively discussion about a diverse compilation of essays that address the various ways in which mobility transforms the characteristics of artefacts, particularly in relation to issues of representation and colonial responsibilities. The volume Material Culture in Transit Theory and Practice (2023), edited by Zainabu Jallo, highlights the significance of material culture in comprehending the far-reaching impacts of troublesome histories and presents innovative approaches to tackle them.

Zainabu Jallo (University of Basel) in conversation with Paul Basu (Oxford University) and George Paul Meiu (University of Basel).
