DESCRIPTION:‘Ethno-Science’ is a reading group dedicated to programmat
 ic and critical texts on the changing relationship between scientific know
 ledge and what is variously called local\, ‘indigenous’ or ‘native
 ’ knowledges. Our starting point is the eighteenth-century travel instru
 ctions that asked naturalists to routinely record indigenous names and kno
 wledge. We explore economic botany\, zoology\, ethnography\, and other str
 ands of nineteenth-century natural history relying on systematic surveys o
 f national and colonial territories\, and the eventual consolidation of et
 hno-disciplines in the twentieth century. The aim is to understand the rel
 ationship between reifications and reinterpretations of 'savage'\, 'indige
 nous'\, 'native' or 'primitive' knowledge and corresponding field practice
 s of interrogation and interaction with local informants. We are intereste
 d in the putative shifts towards increasingly global awareness and calls f
 or the incorporation of ‘traditional’ knowledge in political and scien
 tific discourses.\n\nThe meetings take place monthly\, on Wednesdays from 
 3 to 4pm in 2021-22 academic year (7 meetings). All welcome.\n\nPlease ema
