Short Abstract
This panel proposes to reflect on which theories and methodologies can be used and combined to subvert racializing processes.
Long Abstract
Racializing processes arise in many ways across different contexts. It is a challenge to subvert the ways they work to minoritize some communities. This panel will reflect on how race and racism have been considered in the past and present, while searching for ways in which different theories and methodologies can help us approach diversity.
On the one hand, after the consolidation of Subaltern Studies, Indigenous Studies, and Cultural Studies, Postcolonial Studies, and Decolonial Studies seem to offer some responses in terms of how to provide justice and visibility to historically minoritized groups. However, these fields of study have their limitations.
On the other hand, anthropological research can combine different methodologies, including indigenous methodologies. For instance, traditional fieldwork and participant observation can be combined with history and historical anthropology.
The panel welcomes case studies that explore how theories and/or methodologies can contribute to the reduction of racializing processes across societies.
