The symposium is a commemoration of the Palestinian
scholar, intellectual and activist, Edward Said. It aims
to discuss the ways in which the Humanities in the twenty-first
century can engage with legacy, such as his imbrication
of culture and imperialism, his cosmopolitan critique of
the idea of a ‘clash of civilizations’, and
his belief that, in a highly mediated age, the public-intellectual
needs to maintain ‘intellectual performances’
on many fronts, keeping in play both the sense of opposition
and engaged participation. |

A one day public symposium in collaboration with
the National Museum of Australia,
convened by Howard Morphy and Mike Smith.
Visions Theatre, National Museum of Australia
The symposium will explore the significance of ethnographic
collections made during Captain James Cook’s 18th
Century voyages in the Pacific. Many of these remarkable
objects will be on display at the Museum in an exhibition
from late June to September this year. These objects from
the University of Gottingën’s Cook-Forster collection
provide insights into the worlds of both European and Pacific
peoples during the second-half of the eighteenth century.
The history of the collections themselves since the late
18th Century, their importance to the descendants of their
makers as well as to anthropology, art and museology will
also be explored. |

This conference will explore the history of the
idea that the body is sacred in Western medicine, as well
as how this idea is played out around questions of life
and death. Ritual and religious modifications to, and limitations
of what may be done to, the body may raise cross-cultural
issues of great complexity within medicine. |
