2007-2008 Fellows
Liisa Malkki
Stanford University
Cultural and Social Anthropology Department
Liisa Malkki has worked on issues of genocide and political violence, mass displacement and exile, memory and history, in East and Central Africa. Her current research centres on the transnational politics of humanitarianism; she has conducted anthropological field research with medical professionals of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). More generally, her interests include: religion and secularism; internationalism and one worldism; art and visuality; and child research.
Project Summary
Figuring the Human, Moralizing World Order begins with an historical excavation of three "ways of world-making" past (internationalism, one worldism, and Cold War logics). It then traces how these older visions still shape the current politics of humanitarianism and the political imagination of peace and "world order".
