ABOUT

The conditions under which anthropological research is taking place today are very different from those when anthropology first became established as a distinct academic discipline. First, the concept of “the field” no longer refers to a strictly, geographically or culturally delineated area. Second, fieldwork as a research method has long ceased to be exclusive to the anthropological domain, and has been adopted by other social academic fields, the arts, and even by organizations and communities outside academia.

The Laboratory for Anthropological Research was founded in 2017 with the aim of creating an institution which contributes to the investigation and development of theoretical and methodological interdisciplinary exchanges in order to explore new, emerging tendencies of doing, writing and perceiving anthropology today.
