Subjectivity and the Cultural Imagination (SCI)

Description

UCL Anthropology’s research platform on Subjectivity and the Cultural Imagination (SCI) brings together anthropologists working on the role of the imagination in diverse social and cultural scales, from the intimate arenas of subjective experience to the most encompassing vistas of cosmological contemplation. Rooted in ethnographic research in settings across the globe, it explores comparatively the imaginative and intimate dimensions of history, politics, law, economy, religion and cosmology. The platform describes itself as a hub for anthropological research, activities and events, with research activities that range from informal, student-led reading groups and workshops to internationally funded research programmes and networks. Its research clusters around five core themes: Alternative Economies; Cosmology, Religion, Ontology and Culture (CROC); Historical Consciousness; Images of Democracy and Revolution; and Inner Worlds. UCL Anthropology lists it among its research platforms; the dated activity on the platform’s own pages runs to 2015.
