Bewegte Wissenschaft im Gespräch
TALKING ANTHROPOLOGY ist eine monatliche Diskussionsrunde, in der Projekte, Arbeiten, aktuelle Themen, Aktionen und Forschungen einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit vorgestellt werden können. Ziel ist es, anthropologischen Inhalten und Fragestellungen ein lebendiges Forum außerhalb der Universität zu bieten, den Austausch von Ideen und Meinungen wie die Vernetzung von (Jung-)ForscherInnen, StudentInnen und Interessierten zu fördern. Im Vordergrund steht die interdisziplinäre Vermittlung von anthropologischen Themen für ein neugieriges Publikum und die Debatte um gemeinsame Anwendungshinterfragung, außeruniversitäre Verwertbarkeit und gesellschaftliche Relevanz der Disziplin.
Wenn ihr Vorschläge oder Ideen für Themen habt, eure Arbeit diskutieren und ein interessiertes Publikum sucht, dann meldet euch bei uns unter:

MASN, the “Moving Anthropology Student Network”, was founded in 2005 to promote communication, networking, information-
exchange and interaction among all students and “young” scholars of social and cultural anthropology ( i.e. ethnology ), as well as related sciences, and has since become the largest international platform of its kind.

ETHNOCINECA is an anthropological work exhibition organized by students of the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Vienna in cooperation with MASN-Austria. This years ETHNOCINECA will take place in SOHO in OTTAKRING from 21. to 24. of May.
Originally initialized by the department itself and now having emancipated from in- to outside the university’s premises, the aims of ETHNOCINECA are to present different approaches to sociocultural media interventions.
ETHNOCINECA originates from and focuses on documentary as well as audiovisual anthropological films. It provides a platform for presentation and reflection of film/video, photography and other interactive media interventions with sociocultural or anthropological emphasis. The leading thought of the project is to show films made “by people for people”, showing their diversity as sociocultural, political and economic beings and different ways of organizing themselves as such.
ETHNOCINECA understands itself as an offer for all people working in the field of arts and culture to present their audiovisual works to a broad publicity, to open up new perspectives on areas of action and hence discuss and thematize those in public. Images as a means of displaying the singularities and particularities of intercultural communications are used to widen the scope for reflection and hence provide more than just a symbolic contribution to cultural understanding.

Water as a very scarce resource has a recurrent potential for conflict from a social, economic and cultural point of view. Potable water on the earth’s surface is a precious good which is at risk in many regions of the world because of human and climatic influences, and is becoming therefore a rare resource. Desertification, pollution and the unsustainable management with ground and running water in the industrial agriculture as well as in various industrial complexes, lead at the same time to a higher capitalization of natural drinking water resources. Due to global warming the greatest drinking water resources on the earth’s surface which are saved in the poles and glaciers, will get decimated. In view of this set of problems, the underground drinking water resources become highly important for the future water supply and thus for the future of mankind.
In Europe we are lucky to have an abundance of active underground drinking water resources providing, the Alp regions in particular, fabulous wealth and great cultural heritage. History has shown that cultural events concerning spring water have occurred in Celtic, Greek and Roman times, and were celebrated by the earliest European inhabitants. They are therefore a unifying element of many European countries, myths and religions.
The European Spring Water Conference in Vienna (3rd and 4th of November 2008 in The Castle Schönbrunn), where anthropologists, natural and social scientists, economists and artists will come together will be the starting point. The human beeing, as “Aqua Anthropos” and the current social, political and cultural impact concerning drinking water will be the main topics of the lectures given. The Conference enjoys the patronage of the Austrian Commission for UNESCO. The scientific output of the European Spring Water Conference will be published at the Spring Water Festival 2009 and adapted within the informative workshops and works of art.
Full conference description

The alpine richness of spring water demands a cultural awareness and a celebration, which can be described as “The Rebirth Of Spring Water Celebrations” which are deeply seated in European history. The Spring Water Festival 2009 will combine scientific information and artful conceptions of our European cultural heritage (e.g. the mythologies, architecture and worship practices) in broad fields of entertainment consisting of theater, film and musical performances. Furthermore, there will art exhibitions, installations and a photography exhibition that will visually bring in some of Europe’s springs.
In Association with: La Manana (GER), Humanitas (SI), Kultura&Management (CZ), City Council of Vienna, University of Vienna, Vienna Waterworks etc.

Eine Reise in fremde Welten durch das Eintauchen in die Phantasie der Worte. Ein Abend voller Träumerein, Geschichten, Märchen und Sagen, die die BesucherInnen für ein paar Stunden in eine andere Zeit, an einen andern Ort entrückte, um sie ermutigt, erstaunt, fröhlicher und nachdenklicher als zuvor wieder zu entlassen.
Die Abenden der Lebendigen Geschichten, die in Kooperation mit der Brunnenpassage veranstaltet in der Weihnachtszeit 2007, sollten Kindern und Erwachsenen die Vielfalt der oralen Traditionen vermitteln. Die Erzählungen reichten über Geschichten aus China, Frankreich und Wien, bis hin zu zweisprachig vorgetragenen Märchen aus dem Balkan Raum. Wir hoffen dass die gelungenen Abende zum fixen Bestandteil des Angebot der Brunnenpassage zählen werden. Durch das Konzept der open stage waren alle aufgerufen eine Geschichte zu erzählen und so interaktiv den Abend mitzugestalten. Insbesondere das Zusammentreffen von Menschen verschiedener räumlicher und sozialer Herkunft im 16. Wiener Gemeindebezirk sollte somit gefördert werden. Denn auch die ‚lebendigen Geschichten’ stammen aus aller Welt und beinhalten trotz ihrer unterschiedlichen Herkunft für jedermann und jederfrau zugängliche Erlebnisse und Einsichten. Die Abende waren ein grosser Erfolg. Die erzählten und geteilten Geschichten wie die gemütliche und freie Athmosphäre schufen einen kreativen Rahmen für alle ErzählerInnen, Musiker und Tänzerinnen, in der die Trennung zwischen AkteurIn und Publikum eine geringe Rolle spielte.
Veranstaltungsort: Brunnenpassage, Yppenplatz, 1160 Wien
Termine: 2. & 9.12.2007 – Beginn um 18 Uhr

„In spite of the apparent doom of the human future, I believe we have not yet reached Homo sapiens’ capacity for learning. It is too early to condemn man on the strength of the little awareness he has acquired by chance and not by his outstanding ability to reduce greater complexity to familiar simplicity – in other words, to learn. We have never yet used our essential freedom of choice and we have barely learned to learn.”
(M. Feldenkrais)

On the 3rd and 4th of November 2008 we proudly presented the first European Spring Water Conference in the palace of Schönbrunn, Conference Centre, 1130 Wien (Vienna), Austria. This Event was the starting point for the activities of the Project Aqua Anthropos (http://www.AquaAnthropos.com) that will be raising awareness in the usage of water today. We want to save the springs and wells by supporting projects and ideas focusing on local and municipal ownership and administration. In June 2009 we will celebrate the Spring Water Festival 2009 in Vienna as a rebirth of spring water celebrations in Europe.
