  VI congresso da Associação Portuguesa de Antropologia (APA) – Chamada para comunicações

  The upcoming conference of the Portuguese Anthropological Association continues the debate about the worlds we inhabit, create and differentiate. Knowledge about its pluralities has guided the discipline for over one hundred years, in ever new and unexpected scenarios. Anthropology faces new challenges in the contemporary context of an anthropocene (or in its most radical version, capitolocene) and its uncertain responsibilities on the collective fate of humans and nonhumans. While governments and political actors favor macroscopic knowledge supported on statistics and normative analytical frameworks, we respond with what we learn in ethnography and anthropology: a knowledge closer to the lived experience and one that pays attention to the voices, bodies, desires, subjectivities, communities, identities, anxieties about the past, present and near future, unsatisfied by large-scope ideological narratives.

  VI congresso da Associação Portuguesa de Antropologia (APA) – Chamada para painéis

  O próximo congresso da Associação Portuguesa de Antropologia continua o debate sobre os mundos que habitamos, criamos e diferenciamos. O conhecimento das suas pluralidades guia a disciplina há mais de cem anos, em cenários sempre renovados e imprevistos, persiste e levanta novos desafios no quadro contemporâneo de um antropoceno (ou na sua versão mais radical, capitoloceno) indefinido em termos de responsabilidades decisivas sobre o devir colectivo de humanos e não humanos. Enquanto os poderes políticos públicos privilegiam escalas de conhecimento macrossociais reveladas por estatísticas e quadros analíticos normativistas e normalizadores, propomos contrapor e acrescentar o conhecimento que aprendemos com a etnografia e a antropologia, mais próximo da escala da experiência vivida, dando atenção às vozes, corpos, desejos, subjectividades, comunidades, identidades, na ansiedade dos passados, presentes e futuros próximos, perante a incompletude das grandes narrativas ideológicas.
