CONTEMPORARY ANTHROPOLOGY WORKSHOP DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF TOKYO Anthropology of the Hometown, Postcolonial Hauntings, and Methodological Confusions October 5, 2018, 3:00-4:30PM at Building 14, Room 407 Registration: Open to All How does everyday life look in an agricultural town that calls itself the “Town of Dollars”? In the Bicol region, located in the Southeast part of Luzon Island, Philippines, my hometown named Nabua is known for the many male townsfolk who served in the United States Navy from the beginning of the 20th century until the closure of the U.S. Bases in 1991, and who sent dollars to their relatives who were left behind. In this post-dissertation presentation, I introduce some of the dimensions of everyday life that make up postcolonial consciousness in only one of the places in the Philippines in which migrant labor have been historically produced. Commentator: Dr. Ksenia Golovina, Assistant Professor, Center for Global Communication Strategies, University of Tokyo The Method of Negative Production: A Non/Methods Workshop October 5, 5:00-7:00PM at Building 14, Room 407 Registration required: Email: c.anthro.workshop.info[at]gmail.com (please change [at] to @) Graduate students attending this workshop are asked to read beforehand the author’s piece titled “Negative Productions during Fieldwork in the Hometown” (DOI: 10.1080/2373566X.2017.1370385). In this workshop, we will think through some of the “non-productive” moments during anthropological fieldwork. How could we rethink ethnographic pauses and moments of “non-production” that depart from “rigorous” techniques of data gathering during fieldwork, especially within the academy’s demands for knowledge production?
