‘Meet the Informant’: Liria de la Cruz in conversation with Dr Paloma Gay y Blasco

SYMPOSIUM, 9th February 2010

The Centre for Cosmopolitan Studies is pleased to offer an opportunity to explore the relationship between anthropologist and long-term informant. Liria de la Cruz has worked with Dr Gay y Blasco since 1992; collaboration in the field has extended to a current project of co-authoring an autobiographical ethnography. Come and discuss with them what anthropology looks like from the informant’s point of view. How might the boundaries between informant and anthropologist, between authors and their subjects, be broken down?
