Indigeneity, Land and Colonial Settlement in Brazil and in Palestine: Intersections and Struggles
July 10 2024, 21:00 Palestine time
Given the urgency of tackling colonial violence in Gaza, this event is a partnership between ABA (Brazilian Association of Anthropology) and Insaniyyat (Society of Palestinian Anthropologists), around key topics both in Brazilian and Palestinian contexts. How can well-established anthropological work on indigeneity, land and colonial settlement in Palestinian contexts resonate with comparable work in/about Brazil? And what does anthropology in Brazilian contexts have to offer back to the Palestinian context?
This pre-event of ABA’s annual meeting (RBA) is the first iteration of ABA International Dialogues, an event promoted by the International Relations Committee (CRI) of the Brazilian Anthropological Association (ABA), featuring a dialogue between the polyphonic tradition of anthropology in Brazil and other such traditions in the international context. These Dialogues privilege South-South exchange, unmediated by hegemonic anthropological traditions. They foster research and encourage institutional exchange by means of working on common topics between domestic and foreign traditions of anthropology, inspiring both ethnographic and theoretical-methodological advance through the anthropological principle of learning with (as opposed to about) our interlocutors. To make such an exchange possible, the event will be in English, while the proceeding will be published in both English and Portuguese.
Participants:

This Insaniyyat talk is co-organized by The Brazilian Association of Anthropology (ABA).
