<p class=MsoNormal>The UW Department of Anthropology will be hosting a lecture
by Dr. Neil Whitehead, Professor of Anthropology and Religious Studies at the
University of Wisconsin at Madison, entitled <b>Ethnography, Torture and
Epistemologies of Conquest</b>, on<b> </b>Tuesday February 2, 3:00 pm to 4:20
pm in PAS 1229, as part of its 2009-10 Guest Lecture Series. All welcome
to attend.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>“Our current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have already
provoked anguish within anthropology as to the rights, duties and ethical
responsibilities of ethnographers embedded in military combat units, especially
as in the case of <i>Human Terrain Systems - </i>a program
administered by for-profit military contractors. This talk examines the
epistemologies of terror and counter-insurgency linking the colonial tradition
of ethnography with the modern practice of torture.”<b><br>
<br>
</b>Neil L. Whitehead is Professor & Chair of Anthropology at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is author of numerous works on the
native peoples of South America and their colonial conquest, as well as on the
topics of sorcery, violence, sexuality and warfare<b>. </b>His latest
works include a new edition of Hans Staden’s sixteenth century account of
captivity and cannibalism among the natives of Brazil (Duke 2008) and essays on
terrorism, torture and cyber-sex. He is currently studying the cultural
aesthetics of sex and violence, the emergence of digital subjectivities and the
possibilities for a post-human anthropology. <a
