- What affects do global politics and related infrastructure projects have on the environment and society?
- How are or were infrastructures related to the movement of materialities, goods and artefacts?
- And how do they connect or disperse people, animals, spirits and belongings?
The symposium aims to be a forum for international Mongolian Studies scholars to present and discuss theoretical and empirical research approaches, exchange knowledge and enhance communication on current research issues. Organisers intend to bring researchers, scholars and artists together biennially with the aim of discussing current and recent investigations, ongoing research projects and experiences.
Further information
The project Dispersed and Connected collects and explores narrations, images and imaginations, fragments and artistic expressions of Mongolian belonging along old and new steppe and silk routes, which link dispersed and connected biographies, artistic traditions, cultural monuments and memories. These fragments will be joined in exhibitions and a concomitant scientific-artistic fieldwork book. Led by Maria-Katharina Lang (Austrian Academy of Sciences, Institute for Social Anthropology) and involving organisations in several countries, Dispersed and Connected is funded by the Austrian Research Fund. Exhibitions are planned at the Museum am Rothenbaum in Hamburg and the Weltmuseum Wien in 2020/2021.
