SUMMARY:Historical Anthropology in the Highlands: Contexts, Methods, Actors, and Ethics (1)
LOCATION:Room 1.505
DESCRIPTION:After decades of inconspicuousness, ethnohistory and historical
  anthropology have (re)surfaced as a field of research in Highland Southeas
 t Asia, as attested notably by the special issues published in the Journal 
 of Global History (Michaud 2010) and The Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropolo
 gy (Tappe 2015). This renewed interest antedates Scott’s The Art of Not Bei
 ng Governed (2009) but was certainly also fuelled by it.\n\nEthnohistory an
 d historical anthropology are often used interchangeably, although the latt
 er usually refers to historical research in reportedly “marginal” contexts,
  whereas the former has often been outlined as “folk history”, or “the view
  a society has of its past”, to quote Carmack’s seminal article (1972). A c
 ommon thread of the emerging scholarship is to pay attention to both oral a
 nd written sources, and to keep on the ridgeline between memory studies – w
 hich often lack an interest for the objective aspects of the past – and mor
 e classical history – which often lacks an interest for the present stakes 
 for the past. If the increasing concern for such research in mountainous As
 ia is salient, the stakes of its methodology and epistemology, and those of
  the diffusion and reception of its results have been to a large extent add
 ressed in implicit rather than explicit ways. These are the specific issues
  this workshop intends to unravel. We welcome contributions that, although 
 empirically grounded, go clearly beyond local interests to discuss the foll
 owing questions:\n\nContexts. How has ethnohistory been developed and pract
 iced during the colonial period in South-East Asia – considered at large, i
 ncluding the eastern fringes of India and the southern provinces of China? 
 For which purposes, and in which environment? How was it related (or not) t
 o the development of this subfield in other continents? How has it changed 
 since the political turmoil of the 20th century? How about its connections 
 with the global urge for “cultural conservation”, phrased in UNESCO and/or 
 nationalist terms?\n\nMethods. What are the different ways to conduct such 
 research? Apart from oral narratives and written documents, what are the ot
 her sources that can be used in the process, like archaeology, landscape, o
 r rituals? How to cope with the locally acknowledged “key informants” and g
 atekeepers when dealing with sensitive topics in local history? How to hand
 le the often-reported male authority on historical information? How to capt
 ure history- in-the making, through performances rather than interviews?\n\
 nActors and ethics. Who speaks for whom, and in what languages? How about t
 he ethics of anonymity, censorship and self-censorship? How about collabora
 tive works, between international, national and local scholars from differe
 nt and sometimes antagonistic political background, and across disciplines?
  And more globally, what are the specificities of historical anthropology, 
 ethnohistory, and other ways to speak about the past?
