Seminar and film screening with Georg Klute

Film screening and presentation by Georg Klute (Universität Bayreuth)

Presentation

Georg Klute is Professor of Anthropology of Africa in Bayreuth University (Germany), and chairs the German African Studies Association (since 2012). His extensive career has covered topics such as the state in Africa, nomadism, nomads and the state, Islam in Africa, ethnicity, and new forms of political domination (para-sovereignty).

In this session Professor Klute will present and discuss the award-wining film Adalil: The Mistress of the Tents”, in which he acted as a scientific consultant. The “guided” screening of this film constitutes a privileged opportunity to debate Professor Klute’s pioneer work on Tuareg society, and African/Saharan studies more broadly.
