“The Politics and Ethics of Resentment”
Didier Fassin, James D. Wolfensohn Professor, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton University Montag, 24. Juni 2013, 16 Uhr c.t., Campus Westend, HZ4
Didier Fassin is an anthropologist and a sociologist who has conducted field studies in Senegal, Ecuador, South Africa, and France. Trained as a physician in internal medicine and public health, he dedicated his early research to medical anthropology, illuminating important issues about the AIDS epidemic, social inequalities in health, and the changing landscape of global health. More recently, he has developed political and moral anthropology, a new domain of inquiry that analyzes the reformulation of injustice and violence as suffering and trauma, the expansion of an international humanitarian government, and the contradictions in the contemporary politics of life. His present project, a contribution to an anthropology of the state, explores the political and moral treatment of disadvantaged groups, including immigrants and refugees, through an ethnography of police, justice, and prison.
Der Vortrag wird organisiert von der Professur für Soziologie mit dem Schwerpunkt Biotechnologie, Natur und Gesellschaft (Prof. Dr. Thomas Lemke).
