Upcoming Events
Please join us for a WORKSHOP with Katrien Pype, professor of Anthropology at Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium and author of The Making of the Pentecostal Drama, on Monday 27 November, 4-6 PM in the Indaba Seminar Room on the 4th floor of Grinter.
Pype is a major specialist in the anthropology of Kinshasa and DRCongo and a highly creative innovator in the new field of media anthropology.
The WORKSHOP FORMAT means that all participants should strive to familiarize themselves with Pype’s work before coming to the workshop.
The FOCUS on the workshop will be a work-in-progress, an article that Prof. Pype is still refining for publication. Thus our comments, suggestions, and criticisms will matter.
The Image & Text Working Group which is sponsoring this event is VERY pleased to announce that Professor Richard Kernaghan of UFL’s Anthropology Department will serve as DISCUSSANT. He will open the WORKSHOP with at 4 p.m. with about 10 minutes of critical comments. Katrien Pype will then be given about 10 minutes to reply, before we open up the session from more questions and comments from the audience. During this process, Pype will also show a few slides that complement the piece.
Four papers are available for reading and perusing in advance.
Please send an email to shahreenzaman@UFL.EDU if you would like to receive a link for these papers.
