Scientific Program
/
by Thomas Hylland Eriksen
It is difficult to deny that contemporary globalisation leads to a reduction of diversity in a number of areas. This pertains to both biological and cultural diversity, and there are striking similarities between these processes.
In this lecture, the question raised concerns the appropriate methodology and conceptual framework for studying biological and cultural (and biocultural) diversity in an era of overheated globalisation. Many anthropologists and others have in recent years tried to overcome the dualisms that have framed the scientific project, notably the nature/culture contrast. It may be argued that the enormous current interest in ecological matters witnessed in anthropology and elsewhere signals a paradigm shift. In a not too distant future, it may perhaps be difficult to imagine a major trend in anthropology that does not engage with the environmental transformations orchestrated by humans at increasing speed and at a vast scale, leaving few if any parts of the world unaffected.
The framework proposed to enable the simultaneous study of biological and cultural aspects is that of biosemiotics, an approach where living systems are studied as systems of communication, a methodology which dissolves the nature/culture boundary without denigrating human agency, and which also has considerable comparative potential.
