Professor Morten Axel Pedersen (University of Copenhagen) and Dr Morten Nielsen (University of Aarhus).
It has been an anthropological premise that analysis can proceed from the presumption that a social system will exist in a particular setting under study, that a social structure will maintain itself, that social relationality will be a default condition of human social life: that ‘society’ and ‘culture’ can be presumed because of a likely reproduction of sociocultural conditions. In conversation with other members of the anthropology departments of St. Andrews, Aarhus and Copenhagen present at the Centre for Cosmopolitan Studies, Morten Axel Pedersen and Morten Nielsen lead a discussion that challenges these analytical premises.
