Freie Universität Berlin, in cooperation with Schwules Museum Berlin.
" Our workshop hopes to bring together and enable a conversation between scholars working at various stages of their careers and with different conceptual approaches, thematic foci and methodologies within the broader field of queer anthropology. We ask: Where are the overlaps but also, the productive frictions and divergences in our respective works? Which openings and closures are to be discovered as queer thinking turns abundant, travels and arrives in new or other places, in this case the German-speaking context. What are the politics of queer theory’s reception as well as its refusal? Which routes might queer anthropology take from here and how do we collectively imagine its futures? We wish to discuss these and related matters not in the classical style of paper presentations, but in the form of moderated discussions. The workshop will close with a public roundtable event at Schwules Museum Berlin."
