9th EASA Biennial Conference: Bristol, UK
September 18th - 21st, 2006
Europe and the World
EASA and the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of Bristol hosted the 9th biennial conference. More than 900 people attended this conference over its four days.
The theme encouraged us to consider the global dimensions of particular ethnographic encounters. The wider interconnections, the spread of ideas, the dynamic relationships and processes which shape the everyday activity of social life; these lie increasingly at the centre of our methodological and theoretical preoccupations as anthropologists. Mediated by individual, institutional, national developments of enormous complexity, this link between global interchange and local creativity deserves our systematic attention and analysis.
We hope you found this event stimulating and friendly.
