A great deal of up-to-date material about LSE support services, registration, timetabling, and library facilities is also available on the LSE web pages, so you would benefit from reading these. If you have just arrived at LSE and need some guidance, please take a look at the ‘Your First Weeks’ website (lse.ac.uk/yourFirstWeeks). The Anthropology Department web pages (lse.ac.uk/anthropology) provide information about members of staff including their research and publications, and special events. Also of relevance during your time as a student will be the Anthropology Department’s General Information for Students Moodle page. (moodle.lse.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=983) Please bear in mind that the information given here about course requirements and assessments is intended for guidance only. You should always confirm requirements by checking the definitive versions in official School publications (normally the Calendar lse.ac.uk/calendar) and if necessary checking with the Student Services Centre (on the Ground Floor in the Old Building or lse.ac.uk/ssc) and/or your Academic Mentor. As you will learn, ours is a relatively small department, and we maintain an informal, friendly, and supportive atmosphere for our students. If you do happen to encounter problems of any kind, be they academic, financial, or emotional, we very much hope that you’ll let us know at once. You can do this by informing your Academic Mentor (with whom you’ll have regular meetings throughout the year), by setting up an appointment with your Head of Year, or the Departmental Tutor, or by approaching any member of departmental staff, including our very capable administrators.

Having undertaken original research into mid-19th century photographs in archives internationally, pertaining to Native America in the American Southwest, new histories and a re- framing of the photographs in question has been assembled. This portion of the research was undertaken both as a starting point for further investigation, and as a return to the people of New Mexico, particularly the Indigenous inhabitants of that place.

  • Head of Archives at LSE Since 1997 LSE Large General Archive Covering All of the Social Sciences with Significant Holdings in Politics, Sociology and Economics
    Head of Archives at LSE since 1997 LSE large general archive covering all of the social sciences with significant holdings in politics, sociology and economics. 1 Aim of talk is to give an overview of anthropology at LSE and the anthropology archives. Talk about current challenges for archives which impact directly on anthropology. Describe the general coverage for anthropology archives in the UK. And think about the need to get hands on involved with the work of anthropology archives much as Malinowski had to get out of his tent! 2 The beginnings of Anthropology at LSE was in a course in ethnology which appeared in the LSE Calendar in 1904-5 as part of a new sociology degree. The course was taught by AC Haddon who had led the 1898-9 expedition to the Torres Strait and New Guinea. The LSE calendar described the course as being aimed particularly at 'Civil Servants destined for the tropical portions of the Empire, and Missionaries'. Edward Westermarck continued to lecture in anthropology for some time. In 1910 the study was put on a firmer footing with the appointment of Charles Seligman, who had also been part of the Torres Strait expedition, to the ethnology lectureship. The department began to take shape with his appointment to a p/t professorship in 1913. Seligman lobbied to expand anthropology teaching and research at the School, and by 1923 he had significantly increased the number and range of courses available, as well as securing a permanent teaching post for his former student Bronislaw Malinowski. However there were some setbacks – in particular Seligman failed to get the School to commit any money to support anthropological fieldwork.

The investiga- tion of previously ignored social domains and the incorporation of new sensibilities beyond its typically verbal or visual conventions, have expanded ethnography: An- thropologists now engage in novel forms of relationship and intervention, and enter into heterodox exchanges with other disciplines like arts and design. The invocation of experimentation in fieldwork is part of this widened exploration of new ethno- graphic modalities that reshape the norm and form of fieldwork. Recent invocations of experimentation in ethnographic projects are not mere- ly a metaphorical gesture.

  • Diversifying MIR: Knowledge and Real-World Challenges, and New Interdisciplinary Futures
    Born, G. (2020). Diversifying MIR: Knowledge and Real-World Challenges, and New Interdisciplinary Futures. Transactions of the International Society for Music 7,60,5 Information Retrieval, 3(1), pp. 193–204. DOI: https://doi.org/10.5334/tismir.58 RESEARCH Diversifying MIR: Knowledge and Real-World Challenges, and New Interdisciplinary Futures Georgina Born Challenges of diversity are being raised around the world, for example in response to #MeToo and Black Lives Matter. Against this background, this article, adapted from a keynote lecture to the 20th ISMIR conference, asks how MIR can refresh itself and its endeavours, scholarly and real world, by addressing diversity. It is written by an outsider, yet one who, as a music anthropologist, is intensely concerned with MIR and its influence. The focus is on elaborating auto-critiques that have emerged within the MIR community: social, cultural, epistemological and ethical matters to do with the diversity of the profession, of the music with which MIR engages, and of the kinds of knowledge produced. One theme is interdisciplinarity: how MIR would gain from closer dialogues with contemporary musicology, music anthropology and sociology. The article also considers how the ‘refresh’ might address MIR’s pursuit of research oriented to technological innovation, often linked to the drive for economic growth; concerns about sustainable economies, it argues, suggest the need for other values to guide future science and engineering. In this light, the article asks what computational music genre recognition or recommendation would look like if, under public-cultural or non-profit imperatives, the incentives driving them aimed to optimise imaginative self- or group development, pursuing not a logic of ‘similarity’ but diversity, or took human musical flourishing as their goals.

  • Alfred Gell (1945-1997)1
    (This obituary was published in the Proceedings of the British Academy, vol.120, 2003, pp.123-147) Alfred Gell (1945-1997)1 Alan Macfarlane Alfred Gell died of cancer on January 28 1997 at the age of 51. He was at the height of his powers and widely regarded as one of the most interesting thinkers in the world in the field of the anthropology of art. He had been elected to the British Academy in 1995 and turned down a Professorship (awarded posthumously) on a number of occasions at the London School of Economics, where he held a Readership. The insightful obituaries of some of his colleagues, as well as his own frank, published remarks towards the end of his life give us an unusual opportunity to investigate the life of a highly creative and original scholar. His life and writings provide an interesting insight into the fashions and flows of one part of British thought in the later twentieth century. In writing this obituary of Alfred Gell two major puzzles to be solved have emerged. One concerns who was Alfred Gell? The second concerns how an academic works and creates something interesting and new. Neither is an easy task. At a general level, the probing of an inner personality and cognitive process is intrinsically almost impossible. As Gell himself wrote, ‘ the cognitive processes of any mind, especially over a whole biographical career, are inaccessible private experiences which leave only the most undecipherable traces.’2 In relation to Gell himself I have certain disadvantages in addressing these questions. I did not know Gell at all personally.

  • Art History and Cultural Difference: Alfred Gell's Anthropology Of
    Published in: Art History Vol. 28 No. 4 (Autumn 2005) pp. 524-51. Art History and Cultural Difference: Alfred Gell’s Anthropology of Art Matthew Rampley One of the most pressing issues currently confronting the theory and history of art is the question of cultural difference. Specifically, what are the implications of the difference between western and non-Western cultures for the task of visual and artistic analysis? In what ways is it possible to undertake cross-cultural analysis while remaining within the frame of art history – a set of discourses originally formulated to account for the development of Western art? The responses to this question have been varied, ranging from an emphasis on the complete incommensurability of different cultures to ambitious attempts at constructing world art histories. In this article I examine the work of one particular author – the anthropologist Alfred Gell (1945-1997) – and his contribution to discussion on this issue. As I argue, Gell offers some potentially significant ways of rethinking this question, and specifically, his work offers the outline of a possible form of cross-cultural analysis that avoids some of the pitfalls that have beset previous such attempts. I analyse Gell in detail shortly, but before doing so, offer a brief overview of the current state of critical debate on the issue. Questions of Cultural Difference 1 Published in: Art History Vol. 28 No. 4 (Autumn 2005) pp. 524-51. At the root of the topic of cultural difference are a number of inter-related questions.
