DESCRIPTION:*‘Ethno-Science’ reading group. Session four: guest lectur
 e from Esther Jean Langdon (Federal University of Santa Catarina\, Brasil*
 \n\nEsther Jean Langdon is an Anthropologist and Co-ordinator of the Natio
 nal Research Institute\, Brazil. Her work across medical anthropology\, cu
 ltural anthropology and anthropological linguistics has lead to her curren
 t project\, ‘Documentation\, translation and linguistic revitalisation: 
 collaborative research from a critical sociolinguistic perspective’.\n\n
 ‘Ethno-Science’ is a reading group dedicated to programmatic and criti
 cal texts on the changing relationship between scientific knowledge and wh
 at is variously called local\, ‘indigenous’ or ‘native’ knowledges
 . Our starting point is the eighteenth-century travel instructions that as
 ked naturalists to routinely record indigenous names and knowledge. We exp
 lore economic botany\, zoology\, ethnography\, and other strands of ninete
 enth-century natural history relying on systematic surveys of national and
  colonial territories\, and the eventual consolidation of ethno-discipline
 s in the twentieth century. The aim is to understand the relationship betw
 een reifications and reinterpretations of 'savage'\, 'indigenous'\, 'nativ
 e' or 'primitive' knowledge and corresponding field practices of interroga
 tion and interaction with local informants. We are interested in the putat
 ive shifts towards increasingly global awareness and calls for the incorpo
 ration of ‘traditional’ knowledge in political and scientific discours
 es.\n\nPlease email Dr. Raphael Uchôa (ru224@cam.ac.uk) or Dr. Staffan M
 üller-Wille (sewm3@cam.ac.uk) if you're interested in joining. Zoom links
  to follow via email.\n\n\n*gloknos is initially funded for 5 years by the
