This podcast presents the honest and engaging conversation between associate professor Hanne Mogensen, Copenhagen University, and assistant professor Adrienne Mannov, Aarhus University, on the monograph by Hanne Mogensen called Secrecy and Responsibility in the Era of an Epidemic: Letters from Uganda, published in July 2020. The conversation dives into some of the deeply personal and vulnerable aspects of doing longterm fieldwork, as well as how to engage emotion and make sense of life through ethnographic writing.

Anthropological Happy Hour #6 Hanne Mogensen and Adrienne Mannov

Antropologforeningen har inviteret tre antropologer til en samtale om antropologiske perspektiver på COVID-19 pandemiens aftryk i vores hverdag og samfund. I første afsnit har vi inviteret antropolog og kønsforsker Christian Groes, der har skrevet om krisens arketyper, singlers hudsult og balancen mellem intimitet og samfundssind i en krisetid, der er karakteriseret af afstand, isolation og smittetryk. Lyt med og bliv klogere på de mange svære spørgsmål den Fagre Nye Coronaverden stiller os overfor!

Fagre Nye Coronaverden #1 Hudsult og Samfundssind

Aldrig i verdenshistorien har vi på så få måneder brugt så mange penge på én enkelt sygdom. Men hvilke konsekvenser vil følge i kølvandet på den dyre kamp mod COVID-19? I andet afsnit af Fagre Nye Coronaverden taler vi med sundhedsantropolog og Foucault-ekspert Ayo Wahlberg, der giver sit bud på, hvad der motiverede Mette Frederiksen til at lukke Danmark ned i marts, samt hvilke konsekvenser det vil få, at andre sygdomme står i skyggen af COVID-19 pandemien.

Fagre Nye Coronaverden #2 Sygdomsprioriteringer og Samfundskontrakten

Antropologforeningen har inviteret tre antropologer til en samtale om antropologiske perspektiver på COVID-19 pandemiens aftryk i vores hverdag og samfund. Hvordan kan vi med antropologien bidrage i krisetider som under en pandemi? I sidste afsnit af Fagre Nye Corona Verden taler vi med etnograf Karen Lisa Salamon om smitte, generationsforskelle og hvordan covid-19 pandemien har ændret vores liv, som vi kender det.

Fagre Nye Coronaverden #3 Generationskløft og Trickster

This reading is a monographic appetizer for the upcoming Happy Hour event (and podcast) with author of "Secrecy and Responsibility in an Era of an Epidemic, Letters from Uganda" Hanne Mogensen and discussant Adrienne Mannov. The book is structured around the life and death of primarily one woman, Kate, and the letters that Kate wrote to the author over the course of 10 years. Kate grew up in Uganda while the country was haunted by violence and war and later also devastated by the AIDS epidemic. The manuscript draws on these letters as well as conversations and fieldnotes from fieldwork in Uganda and offers a fine-grained ethnography of existence under extremely challenging conditions and the ways in which global phenomena contribute to changing life in Uganda. Dear Mother Aketcha is a reading of one of these letters from Kate to the author - who Kate called Mother Aketcha.
Reading by Adrienne Mannov.
