Veranstaltungsreihe: Animals as Objects? Histories, Institutions, Infrastructures, Data, and Knowledg
Ringvorlesung
The Other Serengeti:
Discussing the Naturalness of Elephants in postcolonial Tanzania
This interdisciplinary and international Ringvorlesung examines the role of animals in institutional and infrastructural arrangements, past and present. It investigates the processes by which animals are turned into objects, living zoo attractions, museum exhibits, diplomatic tokens, commodities, laboratory tools, data sets, and more. The aim is to understand the trajectories, traffics and transformations of animal-objects within and between different sites in their global, political, scientific and cultural context.
