Biografisk skisse

Vigdis Broch-Due er professor i sosialantropologi ved Universitetet i Bergen, hvor hun også har et særskilt professorat i internasjonale fattigdomsstudier ved Det samfunnsvitenskapelige fakultet. I tillegg til en dr.philos.-grad i antropologi (1991) omfatter hennes akademiske bakgrunn studier i sosiologi, geografi, sammenlignende litteratur og filosofi. I 2015 fikk hun fire års permisjon for å fungere som vitenskapelig direktør ved Senter for grunnforskning (CAS) i Oslo – en nasjonal institusjon som fremmer fremragende forskning gjennom tverrfaglige forskningsgrupper innen humaniora, samfunnsvitenskap og naturvitenskap, på temaer foreslått av forskerne selv. I januar 2020 ble hun utnevnt for en fireårsperiode til styret i Danmarks Grundforskningsfond (DNRF) av det danske Kunnskapsdepartementet, etter nominasjon fra Det Kongelige Danske Videnskabernes Selskab ().

Broch-Dues akademiske karriere har ført henne fra undervisningsstillinger i antropologi ved Universitetet i Oslo og University of Washington (Seattle, USA) til stillingen som programdirektør for Poverty and Prosperity Research Programved Nordiska Afrikainstitutet i Uppsala (Sverige), samt til forskningsopphold ved universitetene i Cambridge, SOAS og LSE (Storbritannia) og Rutgers University (USA). I løpet av karrieren har hun mottatt tretten større forskningsbevilgninger til ulike prosjekter.

Broch-Due har utviklet en rekke kurs og internasjonale studieprogrammer på både master- og ph.d.-nivå, innen antropologi og i tverrfaglig samarbeid på tvers av humaniora og samfunnsvitenskap. Hun ledet det internasjonale MPhil-programmet gjennom hele dets tiårige virke, og rekrutterte talentfulle studenter fra Afrika, Asia, Canada, Europa og Norge. Hun har også vært ph.d.-koordinator. Hennes veiledningserfaring er omfattende, og hun har sittet i en rekke akademiske råd og styrer på lokalt, nasjonalt og internasjonalt nivå. Broch-Due har i tillegg deltatt i forskningsvurderinger, inkludert evaluering av søknader, sentre for fremragende forskning og professoransettelser i Skandinavia, Tyskland, Storbritannia og USA.

Hun har deltatt i flere dokumentarfilmprosjekter i Kenya, India og Sør-Amerika, inkludert lengre feltopphold hos urfolkssamfunn som Kogi i Colombia, Huichol i Mexico og Maya i Guatemala. Hun har også hatt en rekke konsulentoppdrag i Øst-Afrika og utover – blant annet for IFADs Future Focus on Rural Poverty, EU-kommisjonens fattigdomsprogrammer, FNs ekspertgrupper om global fattigdom i New York, samt evaluering av humanitære og utviklingsprosjekter for NORAD, FAO og SIDA.

Hennes forskningskarriere i Øst-Afrika strekker seg over mer enn fire tiår, med hovedfokus på pastorale samfunn i Nord-Kenya. Hun har gjennomført omfattende etnografiske og historiske studier blant Turkana-befolkningen – gjetere, dyrkere, sankere, fiskere og småbyfolk– og i senere år i grenseområder der Turkana møter Samburu, Borana, Somali, Maasai og Pokot. Et annet sentralt forskningsfelt er fattigdommens historie og dens etnografiske variasjoner, inkludert europeisk fattigdom fra middelalderen og fremover, samt koloniale møter innen det britiske imperiet, særlig i India og Afrika.

I sitt nåværende arbeid utvikler Broch-Due en sanse- og multispecies-antropologi som utforsker sansning, persepsjon, kroppslighet, temporalitet og relasjoner mellom arter. Med inspirasjon fra biologi, geologi, filosofi, litteraturvitenskap og materiell kultur undersøker hun hvordan sanse- og sosialverdener formes gjennom kontinuerlige samspill mellom levende vesener og landskapene de bebor.

Broch-Dues forfatterskap bygger broer mellom samfunnsteori og naturhistorie, etnografi og filosofi, og tilbyr nye perspektiver på hvordan økologisk, sosialt, tidsmessig og moralsk liv veves sammen. Publikasjonene hennes tematiserer blant annet kjønn og kroppslighet, kosmologi, vold og hukommelse, miljøets materialitet og tillitens transformasjoner under endring. Samlet søker hennes prosjekter å belyse hvordan ulike livsformer – menneskelige og ikke-menneskelige – sanser, former og opprettholder hverandre i en delt, men ujevnt erfart verden.

 SANT285-9 / SANT310-2 Sensory Worlds Across Times and Cultures

To put it simply, approaching the senses from an anthropological perspective allows us to understand their vital role in people's everyday lives, both personal and public, across different social, cultural, and historical settings.

The course is conceived of as a journey through time, place and across species. It is a journey that draws on diverse ethnographic examples from around the world and examines the sensory engagements afforded by rainforests, savannahs, slums, cities, multicultural markets, and the interiors of buildings. It is also a journey that incorporates sensory examples from the world of fiction, art, and the material forms that frame our contemporary lives. The senses build communicative bridges to other species, and we will explore the ways humans, animals, and plants interact across sensory worlds.

The journey will take us back to colonial times to recover aspects of our disciplinary history when anthropologists classified their subjects in foreign lands according to a sensory, evolutionary, hierarchical schema based on race. It will also take us back to medieval Europe where the senses were employed in making gender distinctions and other binary classifications. In both cases, the senses were pressed into service by structures of power which produced marginalization and inequality on a societal and global scale.

Together we will explore and analyze sensory worlds through a multi-media approach - consisting of lectures, texts, sound clips, film, photo, podcasts, and forays into the savory environs of food markets. Aside from those specializing in anthropology, this course will be of interest to students across the social sciences and humanities. 

SANT 285-5 --The Shape of Time: An anthropological inquiry into theories of temporality and materiality (10 Credits, Con Amore course, BA level).

‘Time’ and ‘matter’ are terms that at first glance may seem both common-sense and commonplace, albeit rather abstract. Upon closer scrutiny, however, ‘time’ and ‘matter’ and the ways in which they are embedded and transform, happen to be one of the oldest and most complex subjects of philosophical reflection, artistic representation and aesthetic discourse. ‘Time’ and ‘matter’, and the multiple forms and processes they give rise to, underpins virtually all aspects of life, both the rhythms of the everyday and the material culture and buildings we inhabit, but also those experiences that accumulate over a life-course, and across the generations. ‘Time’ and ‘matter’ structure the entire physical world; from the universe down to the specific milieus that humans share with other species. ‘Time’ and ‘matter’ are also powerfully at work in memories, imaginaries, cosmologies, religions and futures.  Historical and cross-cultural analysis of these concepts show them to be as changeable and various as they are grand and important. The shaping of ‘time’ and ‘matter’ are shot through with issues of power and hegemony, being at stake in much political struggle both in the past and the present. 

In this course we explore together how scholars across the humanities and social sciences have conceptualized, researched and represented this enigma of time, matter, form and fluidity. We will examine the temporal regimes embedded in the work of Hutton, Darwin, Freud, Bergson, Whitehead, Fabian, and Deleuze, and explore how matter is analysed in contemporary schools of thought such as ‘Object Oriented Ontology’, ‘New Materialism’ and ‘Post-humanism’. We will critically engage these theories from an anthropological perspective by bringing ethnographic examples into the discussion. We will take a closer look at the analytical contributions to this scholarly field by anthropologists, psychologists, geographers, archaeologists, and historians but also how the entanglements of myriad forms of materialities and temporalities are artistically expressed in fiction, painting, film and exhibitions.

SANT 304 –&�Բ�����;Introducing anthropology and its subjects: history, poverty, and social transformation (15 credits, MA level, taught on Mphil. in Anthropology of Development - MASV-SADE, 2004-2016)

Concerns about poverty - who are the 'poor'; why are they poor; and what can be deemed proper responses to their condition - have long been at the core of discourses about society and its 'others'. European views of the poor were exported throughout the empires, in this process shaping perceptions of indigenous societies and colonial policies directed towards them. European ideas about gender, class and race continue in the post-colonial world in various transmutations, to effect discourses of development. The course explores how local and global ideas of social inequality interact. It focuses on the implications of such encounters for the social identities of the poor and for interventions into their lives by states, mission and transnational aid agencies.

Although a category like "the poor" seems too abstract and generic to generate much specific ethnography, it does in fact consist largely of the classical subjects of anthropology. Indeed, the discipline of the discipline of anthropology itself grew out of the 19th century global reconfiguration of "poverty", "the state" and the "public sphere". Poverty continued to be addressed in anthropological scholarship, although intermittently, after the second world-war to become crystallised as the problem matter in the sub-field of the Anthropology of Development and globalization studies.By following the history of the heterogeneous category of "the poor" from an anthropological perspective, this course is designed as an introduction to both mainstream and development anthropology on the master level.

The course aims to provide students with the basic analytical tools for addressing critical issues of globalization particularly as they affect the South, by linking method and theory in anthropology with the detailed case material and thematic studies that emerges from field research. By focusing on poverty, the course aims to develop student ́s grasp of the ways in which anthropologists have theorised social and economic change, and sensitise students to the ethical implications of anthropologists practical engagement with development intervention both during the colonial and post-colonial era.

SANT 309 – Conceptualizing society: Applications of anthropological theory (15 credits MA level – taught on Mphil. in Anthropology of Development - MASV-SADE, 2004-2016)

This course focuses on the end stage of the research process, notably the crafting of the ethnographic product in its many guises; mostly as texts, but also as film, or as soundtracks.

All students are to read and critically work through a selection of anthropological monographs that covers different continents, different theoretical perspectives, and different stages in the history of anthropology. The course explores the history of ethnographic representation and its reception and engages students in the theories and experiences that informed different templates of writing and the analytical controversy engendered. The course looks into the ways in which new technologies have influenced and multiplied ethnographic modes of representation from the print media only to the inclusion of film, sound and lately, the web. Through studies of selected anthropological monographs - classical as well as more resent - the students are to develop insights in the comparative analytical use of anthropological theory on complex empirical cases. For the final exam the students are to demonstrate abilities for comparative analytical reasoning over different ethnographic cases and different media of ethnographic representation.

SANT 301 Antropologisk kunnskapsproduksjon og etnografisk praksis (20 Credits, MA nivå, taught in Norwegian)

Emnet tar opp metodiske og kunnskapsteoretiske områder i faget. Det går inn på aktuelle og sentrale problemstillinger, og tar opp teoridanning og debatter med en primær målsetning om å utvikle studentenes egen forskingsferdigheter. Emnet gir et kritisk inntak til antropologisk forskingspraksis og kunnskapsproduksjon: deltakende observasjon og feltarbeid, produksjon og handsaming av data, framstilling og analyse av empirisk materiale, og argument utforming. Det viser analytiske framgangsmåter ved bruk av aktuelle teoretiske perspektiv til konkrete forskingsformål, der faget sitt sentrale helhetsperspektiv på samfunn og kultur blir ivaretatt. 

SANT 302 --Individuell prosjektutvikling (10 Credits, MA level, taught in Norwegian)

Dette emnet supplerer SANT301 og består av seminer og individuell veiledning der målet er individuell prosjektutvikling og å sikre at studenten utformer et prosjekt som lar seg gjennomføre basert på ett semesters feltarbeid. Konkret blir dette arbeidet utviklet gjennom individuelle prosjektskildringer. Med utgangspunkt i presentasjoner av skisser til prosjektfremstilling blir feltarbeidet drøftet i seminer. I seminaret blir det arbeidet med utvikling av problemstillinger og forskingshypoteser i individuelle prosjekt. Med utgangspunkt i ulike antropologers presentasjoner av feltarbeidserfaringer blir praktiske og metodiske utfordringer ved feltarbeidet diskutert. Emnet gir også en orientering i personvern og i litteratursøking.
