Last part of the Passion and Politics Conversation Series

The Center for Middle Eastern Studies har during the fall been holding a conversation series on passion in relation to contemporary global politics, with a focus on the Middle East, North Africa and citizens in the Diaspora.

The last distinguished guest was Jessica Winegar - a sociocultural anthropologist whose work investigates how people articulate understandings of history and political-economic change through cultural production and consumption, in particular through competing notions of culture and culturedness.

She is primarily concerned with the multiple ways that culture projects create social hierarchies and modern subjects while frequently hiding the mechanisms of these processes, thereby contributing to their durability.

Her host was - as always during the series - Maria F Malmström, and Torsten Janson was moderator.
