Past events

This symposium showcases the innovative and diverse methodologies, research outputs, pedagogical approaches and theoretical advancements toward understanding the multiple ways in which media practices shape and are shaped by social realities.
Through a retrospective lens, the event reflects on the rich tapestry of audiovisual and multimodal ethnographic work carried out at the Institute of Social Anthropology, highlighting key findings, pivotal projects, and the evolution of our thinking and practice in media ethnography. Through this dynamic engagement we aim to solidify the Institute's role as a leading center for anthropological inquiry into media and society in Switzerland and beyond.
