Language : French with simultaneous Czech translation.
Venue : CEFRES, Národní 18, Prague 1, conference room, 7th floor.
Outline
This lecture is grounded in empirical research on health, social, and parental care. It will be briefly presented to feed the debate on the moral and practical aspects of care activities, with a specific highlight on such stakes as temporalization and sexuation. Our hunch is that such practices of help concern academic space as well, which will be approached through the prism of temporal tensions, between an acceleration affecting our research practices and Slow Science, refered to by the sociology of social presences.

Anthropology of apparitions is a subfield within anthropology of religion characterized by its dynamism, both in fieldwork and in theoretical issues. It is well known that Central-European field materials have largely contributed to its emergence. In my presentation I will try to demonstrate that Balkans materials may open new thematic avenues in anthropology of apparitions.
The presentation deals with several Balkan examples of visionaries, or alternative religious experts, whose subjectivities and the cultural techniques they use in their religious expertise are patterned by three mainstream religious cultures: Roman Catholicism, or Eastern Orthodoxy, Islam.
