DFG Network at Heidelberg: Anthropology of China and Area Studies 2nd Meeting

On 3rd and 4th of August this year, I was invited to the 2nd conference held by the Regional Group on China of the German Anthropological association. The networks theme for the first year is focused on “how area studies shape regional anthropologies and their position within anthropology at large” with regards to China. Guest lectures were being held on “anthropologists’ relations with different area studies produced multiple – partly overlapping, partly competing – versions of China.” The talks and presentation evolved around an upcoming bookproject for the first year. The full report on the conference, its themes, the bookproject an lectures you’ll find on the homepage of our network, courtesy of Christof Lammer, one of the main organizers. I’d like to also direct my thanks to Marco Lazzarotti and Jean-Baptiste Pettier for hosting, organizing and communicating this event, which also served me as an opportunity to get to know new and interesteing people involved with the field of “Anthropology and China(s)”
