Connecting Anthropology and Art: creating disciplinary exchange through the practices of ethnograhy

“连接艺术与人类学”研讨会将汇集一小群国际知名的人类学家和艺术家，探讨和讨论与人类及其社会世界接触的方式。研讨会的目的是考虑艺术家和人类学家如何使用民族志技术来创造经验和知识。在三天的时间里，参与者将进行信息分享和项目工作，扩大他们对彼此民族志应用的理解，讨论将民族志视为共享空间的问题和可能性，并询问对社会的不同关注如何以及在什么情况下产生相似的影响。讲习班的成果将得到充分记录，并将通过人类学杂志和一个可公开访问的网站发表的期刊论文加以传播。对艺术和人类学之间共同感兴趣的领域的新理解有望从小组成员之间的密切接触中产生，并导致人类学家和艺术家之间的进一步合作。

The workshop "Connecting Art and Anthropology' will bring together a small group of internationally respected anthropologists and artists to explore and debate ways of engaging with people and their social worlds. The aim of the workshop is to consider how the techniques of ethnography are used by artists and anthropologists to create experience and knowledge. Over a period of three days, participants will undertake information sharing and project work, expanding their understanding of one another's' uses of ethnography, debating the problems and possibilities of treating ethnography as a shared space and asking how and under what circumstances divergent concerns for the social produce similar affects. The results of the workshop, which will be fully documented, will be disseminated through a journal paper published in an anthropology journal and a publicly accessible website. New understandings of the common areas of interest between art and anthropology are expected to result from the intensive contact between members of the group and to lead to further collaborations between anthropologists and artists.
