Agenda
TSU's Laboratory for Social and Anthropological Research is pleased to announce Ist Tomsk Anthropological Forum “Anthropology in search of language of description”
Forum is to be held in the city of Tomsk on September 15-17, 2016.
The Tomsk Anthropological Forum (TAF) is launched by the Laboratory for Social and Anthropological Research in the framework of the project ‘Man in a Changing World. Identity and Social Adaptation: Past and Present’ funded by the Russian Government (grant # 14.В25.31.0009) and D.I. Mendeleev Scientific Foundation of the Tomsk State University (project 8.1.32.2015С). It is intended to constitute a platform for a broad discussion of topical theoretical and practical issues in social anthropology. The Forum is to be held once every two years.
The TAF-2016 aims to discuss issues related to such contemporary challenges as the increased and ever more complex migration flows, the spread of new information technologies and the intensive resource development of new territories. Within the ‘migrations – technologies – resources and people’ theoretical framework, conceptualizations currently existing in modern anthropology will be critically reexamined and new theoretical approaches to as well as languages of description for both old and relatively new issues will be attempted at.
The Forum’s organizers seek a broad interdisciplinary approach to the analysis of issues put forward for discussion.
The Forum’s Sessions
1. Migration ‘challenges’ of the 21st century (a “challenging” field of migration studies: critical appraisal of migration challenges and international migration narratives).
Moderators: Oleg Korneev (Paris, France/Tomsk, Russia), Irina V. Nam (Tomsk, Russia)
Debaters: Vladimir S. Malakhov (Moscow, Russia), Victor I. Dyatlov (Irkutsk, Russia), Sergey N. Abashin (Saint Petersburg, Russia), Ayse Caglar (Vienna, Austria), Madeleine Reeves (Manchester, Great Britain), Bhavna Dave (London, Great Britain)
2. People, cultures, resources (inter-group, inter-personal, human-animal, and human-spirits relationships in the conflicts over resource rent)
Moderators: Dmitri A. Funk (Moscow, Russia), Alexandra Lavrillier (Paris, France)
Debaters: Hugh Beach (Uppsala, Sweden), Otto Habeck (Hamburg, Germany)
3. Heterogeneous communities in the contemporary world (anthropological challenges to science, technology and society: persistence and endurance of human actors and sustainability of heterogeneous communities in sciences, technologies and beyond)
Moderator: Irina G. Popravko (Tomsk, Russia)
Debaters: Sergey V. Sokolovsky (Moscow, Russia), Ivan H. Tchalakov (Plovdiv, Bulgaria)

The field school-seminar is planned within the framework of the main activity of the Laboratory of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic continental ecosystem (TSU Faculty of Geology and Geography). The activity of the Laboratory is related with the interdisciplinary research of biogeocoenosis of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic, abiotical and biotical interaction, the issues of extinction and survival of organisms. The field works will be held in the paleontological localities.
Also, it is planned to conduct research of natural and anthropological sections, to carry out lectures and trainings on the methodic of paleontological, stratigraphic and paleogeographic field research. There is also a plan to teach participants the methods of excavation, basic principles of taphonomic and paleoecological analyzes.
