  1. SUSANA MATOS VIEGAS PORTUGUSE ASSOCIATION OF ANTHROPOLOGY

  2. CONTEMPORARY WAYS OF PRODUCING AND EVALUATING KNOWLEDGE – WHAT ABOUT ANTHROPOLOGY?

  3. COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS ON A GLOBAL LEVEL: • EVALUATION OF SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE • THE PROFILES OF THE ANTHROPOLOGISTS

  4. EVALUATION OF SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE • 1. Action on a Global Level - Cooperation: debating what are our singularities.

  5. 2. Focusing on publication issues. – Authorship; ethnography and monographs; books and journals: against using the model of natural sciences. - our native language and English. - Global debate: Empowering the specificity of anthropological knowledge.

  6. 3. What are the consequences? - Jobs, grants, funding for universities and research; - comparison of production between different disciplines – politics of science.

  7. PROFILES OF THE ANTHROPOLOGISTS • Assuming that anthropology is not: a) a predefined profession; b) a subject in which academic knowledge can not be conceived out of social actions/engagement. • Assuming that c) we should use our methodological tools in order to know ourselves – open and semi-structured interviews; - evaluating the final results in comparative perspectives on a global level.

  8. a) THE FIELDS OF KNOWLEDGE AND INSTITUTIONS • What are these fields and institutions in the contemporary world? • How are they different from what they were 10/20 years ago? • Did we reach for instance Ngo demands? Demands for understanding social life/cultural issues?

  9. b) ANTHROPOLOGY AS ENGAGEMENT - Academic research as engaged anthropology - What types of research are anthropologist doing in the Universities? – “Applied” research as part of academic research (eg. immigration, religion, social impact in areas that will be flooded by hydroelectric-power barrage, promoting gender equality)

  10. c) METHODOLOGY - Interviews (e-mail) i) details on the different types of professional jobs; ii) how is the training in anthropology being adapted to different types of activities? - Comparison as part of the analysis (anthropology in Europe, different situations/traditions worldwide)

  11. Global cooperation in the research on contemporary profiles of anthropologists. • FINAL GOAL: disseminate the knowledge of what anthropologists do – its role in different contemporary professional fields.
