Abstract
Because of the difficulty anthropology continues to face in relinquishing its secular vestiges, field encounters with a not-immediately-perceptible reality, the realm of God, the invisible, and the otherworldly have usually been removed or deemed insignificant in anthropological accounts. In dialogue with the ontological turn and other recent developments in anthropology, in this presentation, we introduce our network advocating for a more profound reconsideration of the role that the encounter with other modes of knowing in the field might have for the discipline tout court. Proposing to include transcendence, the divine, and invisible realities in a reflection on anthropological knowledge per se, we foreground vertical knowledge intended as a mode of approaching knowledge that centers on the human ability to transform and experience the self in ways that also correspond to different modalities of perceiving reality.
*This event is part of the workshop RETHINKING ANTHROPOLOGY IN LIGHT OF ‘MUSLIM WORLDS’ organized by Lili Di Puppo, Fabio Vicini, Stefan Williamson-Fa in Istanbul, 7-8 September 2023. List of participants: Müge Akpinar (Free University Berlin), Joud Alkorani (Radboud University), Lili Di Puppo (University of Rijeka), Amin El-Yousfi (University of Cambridge), Ismail Fajrie Alatas (New York University), Ashraf Hoque (University College London), Maria Louw (Aarhus University), Jesko Schmoller (Humboldt University), Annika Schmeding (Harvard University), Caroline Tee (Chester University), Fabio Vicini (University of Verona), Stefan Williamson-Fa (Lund University).
