On January 23, we invite you all to the lecture “On River Culture” by anthropologist and researcher Nebi Bardhoshi at Kino Lumbardhi. Three rivers: Valbona, Zall-Gjoçaj and Vjosa, build a life of their own by weighing and building an unique order to the social and cultural organization nearby them whether through mythology or natural phenomena that live or with interactions with people, it seems that rivers do not only lead a life of their own. Nebi Bardhoshi’s analysis puts these three rivers in communication and together they bring a panorama of what we can call river culture.
Bardhoshi is senior researcher in socio-cultural anthropology, with specific research interests in legal and political anthropology, the anthropology of nature, and the history of anthropological thought. Bardhoshi is the author of several books including “The Border Stones: The Kanun, Property, Social Structuring” (2011), “Anthropology of the Kanun” (2015), and “Ethnography in Dictatorship: Knowledge, the State, Our Holocaust” (2018, co-authored).
He has also published numerous academic articles and served as editor of various volumes on Albanian society as well as the broader Balkan and Mediterranean region.
This is the fourth presentation of the series of lectures organized for the “Permanent Transition” project supported by the European Cultural Foundation.
This program brings together a multitude of researchers and professionals and practitioners from the fields of art, linguistics, activism, economy and other fields, with the aim of proposing different ways of understanding the climate crisis and how we can respond in the future.
