Join John Marlovits and Matthew Wolf-Meyer as they focus on atypical forms of communication and self-representation in the ethnographic record and argue for the need to attend to interactions and behaviour as the necessary basis for anthropological studies of personhood and subjectivity.
The speakers will introduce a “psychotic anthropology” that centres atypical forms of consciousness and seeks to unsettle anthropological assumptions about mind, cognition, and consciousness.
