No country for anthropologists?
Contemporary ethnographic research in the Middle East
Many parts of the contemporary Middle East are confronted with war, sectarianism, transnational interferences, uprisings, and a comeback of authoritarian regimes. This brings about various difficulties for ethnographic research as a practice of knowledge production based on the immersion of researchers in given social contexts and the subsequent writing up and publishing of texts. The international conference No country for anthropologists? Contemporary ethnographic research in the Middle East explores the obstacles to do ethnography in the Middle East and take them as the starting point for reflection upon the role of anthropology with a view to the Middle East of today.

Teaching Gender. Theory and society in the classroom
Now more than ever, gender as an analytical concept is being heavily contested from diverse quarters inside as well as outside academia. The panel discussion addresses key questions of how to teach gender as critical theory in the light of current societal and political tensions on the one hand and institutional constraints inside the university on the other hand. How can we teach “critique”? What does teaching gender mean in terms of methods and topics? And how can we engage in critical research and teaching while responding to societal expectations as to relevant output and knowledge transfer?

Collectifs d’art, art collectif
La « création artistique » entre intérêt individuel et bien commun
Les collectifs d’artistes et les différentes formes d’art collectif mettent en question le « régime de singularité » qui caractérise l’art depuis la fin du XIXe siècle, fondé sur « l’individualité », « l’originalité » ou encore « l’unicité » d’un artiste. Si ce mythe n’est aujourd’hui plus à briser, s’intéresser aux formes collectives de création, c’est pouvoir plus directement interroger ce qui demeure, le plus souvent, une boîte noire de l’analyse sociologique : la production des esthétiques et des œuvres elles-mêmes, qui met en jeu des moments individuels et collectifs, avec des critères tout à la fois autonomes (artistiques) et hétéronomes (sociaux, gestionnaires, économiques, publics). Le Comité de recherche sociologie des arts et de la culture de la Société suisse de sociologie invite des propositions qui aborderaient cette thématique sur un plan théorique, méthodologique ou empirique mais, de préférence, à partir de terrains d’enquête.

Feminism and Theory in the Arab World
Starting from the different historical experiences and political as well as intellectual trajectories of feminisms (understood as both feminist movements and ideologies) in the MENA region, the workshop focuses on how scholars who have long been observing feminist endeavors, while being themselves women's rights activits, interpret the present situation beyond ideological fault lines. What are the relevant concepts for understanding current debates and evolutions inside Arab feminisms? What is the potential of feminism(s) as both a set of critical theoretical tools as well as an ensemble of movements in the region? How does one theorize Arab feminisms from within while taking account of their historical entanglements as well as their current transnational connectivities?

Fachtagung - Epistemologie und Methoden
Assessing social transformations in qualitative research
The study of “change” is a central research topic in social science. However, how can we concretely assess social change when we conduct qualitative research which is based on case studies, and has a limited scope of inquiry both in terms of time and space? The complexity of human societies makes it difficult to know which elements to consider as relevant. Very often the multiple dynamics that are observable at any one time give an incoherent picture, where no clear direction is discernible. The presentations will be supported by concrete examples showing the method employed, the scope of relevance of the assessed change, as well as the lines of causality which are drawn consequently.

Assessing Social Transformations in Qualitative Research
The study of “change” is a central research topic in social science. However, how can we concretely assess social change when we conduct qualitative research which is based on case studies, and has a limited scope of inquiry both in terms of time and space? This international workshop seeks to address this key methodological issue through an interdisciplinary dialogue. On the basis of concrete empirical examples, we would like to focus on the available means that enable us to overcome obstacles encountered when studying change through qualitative research.
