This seminar looks at practices of science in the contact zone in order to think through the historical beginnings, and contemporary repercussions, of imperial practices of exploring, collecting, surveying, categorising, mapping and similar activities. It draws on extensive work done in postcolonial studies and STS (science and technology studies), as well as fields such as museum studies, material cultural studies and ethnogeography or -biology, to reflect on the historical and contemporary consequences of ideas of knowledge.
The necessary materials will be provided in a Reader on Stud.IP. |
