THE ARCHIVE THAT EXCEEDED HISTORY— OR THE EVENTFULNESS OF THE AHISTORICAL
IN COLLABORATION WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY
Furman Hall, 245 Sullivan Street, NYU Law School
MARISOL DE LA CADENA (Anthropology, University of California, Davis)
Professor de la Cadena’s talk will interrogate the relationship between indigeneity and “politics” in the Andes, specifically, the epistemic maneuver through which the power to decide what and who counts as its objects and subjects was invented through indigenous legal practices and notions of indigenous rights.
Co-sponsors: Anthropology Graduate Student Association; Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies; Center for Human Rights and Global Justice at NYU Law.
