Ermenautica: A Way of Life for Another Kind of Republic? Some personal remarks
The article is a meditation on Ermenautica, a collective of anthropologists, navigators, activists, cultural mediators, and marine lovers based alongside the Tyrrhenian Sea in the Mediterranean. A neologism recombining the terms “hermeneutics” and “nautical”, Ermenautica is conceptualized both as a venue and practice of freedom deeply attuned to the 'experimental turn' in contemporary anthropology. The author recounts a recent sailing trip with t…
Curatorial designs: Act II
This chapter is a conversation between Tarek Elhaik and George Marcus. The point of departure is the ‘writing culture’ debate of the 1980s, led by Marcus among others, and the legacy of its call for experimental methods. From there, the two authors discuss the possibility of developing new forms of anthropological practice beyond traditional fieldwork, towards more experimental models of research, such as Marcus’s notion of the ‘para-site’ and El…
Antropología de la imagen: Una Introducción
The anthropology of the image is an emerging field of inquiry. It is the result of three separate yet closely interconnected lines of flight: the reconfiguration and expansion of the conversation between art, philosophy, and anthropology; anthropology’s shift beyond the classic focus on ethnos towards strategies of assemblage; and the recognition of the need to curate the daily practices of anthropology itself. Decisively not the result of develo…
The Incurable-Image: Curating Post-Mexican Film and Media Arts
From the 1990s onwards the ‘ethnographic turn in contemporary art’ has generated intense dialogues between anthropologists, artists and curators. While ethnography has been both generously and problematically re-appropriated by the art world, curation has seldom caught the conceptual attention of anthropologists. Based on two years of participant-observation in Mexico City, this book addresses this lacuna by examining the concept-work of curatori…
The Incurable-Image: Curating Post-Mexican Film and Media Arts
An inquiry into the convergences of avant-garde film, trans-cultural media arts, experimental ethnography and curatorial practice in contemporary Mexico From the 1990s onwards the ‘ethnographic turn in contemporary art’ has generated intense dialogues between anthropologists, artists and curators. While ethnography has been both generously and problematically re-appropriated by the art world, curation has seldom caught the conceptual attention of…

Roger Bartra: Intrusion and Melancholia
This chapter explores the post-nationalist and post-cosmopolitan diagnostic work of Roger Bartra, leading public intellectual figure in contemporary Mexico, in relation to what he calls the ‘melancholic post-Mexican condition’. ‘Bartra’ stands here both for the conceptual persona of the Anthropologist and for a sign of a slow and patient disarticulation of the historically constituted racialized citizen-subjects and media-objects staged by post-r…
What is contemporary anthropology
Building on an ethnography of contemporary art worlds and intellectual life in Mexico City, this paper re-evaluates the dominant concepts that form the so-called ethnographic turn in contemporary art, including the emblematic concept of ethnography. To the ethnographic turn's largely sensorial, historical, people-oriented, cosmopolitan and postcolonial mode of attention, the paper juxtaposes another form of contemporary anthropological inquiry wi…
Diseño curatorial en la poética y política de la etnografía actual: Una Conversación entre Tarek Elhaik y George E. Marcus
En este diálogo, George Marcus y Tarek Elhaik empiezan reexaminando los cambios en la práctica investigativa y los paradigmas iniciados hace más de veinte años por las deliberaciones de Writing Culture y continúan evaluando el devenir de esos debates en el pensamiento y la práctica antropológica contemporánea. Entre una figura clave del momento de Writing Culture y un antropólogo formado en el período que siguió a esas discusiones se produce un i…
