2024 CUHK Anthropology Department Summer Fieldtrip
Berlin, Germany
29 May – 6 June 2024
Dr. Tim Rosenkranz: In May/June 2024 we went on our Anthropological Field Seminar to Berlin. We were a very eclectic group of first and final year undergraduates, MA students and myself, a German emigrant and frequent visitor of Berlin. Embracing our positions as visitors, strangers, tourists, and students, we explored every day a different aspect of our theme “city in transition”: migration, tourism, memory, divide and reunification, political regime change, gentrification, art and freedom, religion, sexuality and gender. The program was intendedly open, facilitating every day some encounters with locals, scholars, tour guides, and different communities but also leaving ample time and space for the students to explore and roam the city by day and night following their own interests!
During our visit, students kept a personal field journal in writing, pictures and video, sharing every day some of their experiences and observations with the group. Below we offer you some glimpses into our days in Berlin through some of the student’s shared posts and reflections as well as some of my photographs and introductions.
Long essay, read it on our department website! Link also in bio: https://www.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/~ant/blogpost/2024summerfieldtrip/

Call for Papers: The 16th CUHK Anthropology Postgraduate Student Forum "Disturbance and Reverberation"
Friday 21 Feb & Saturday 22 Feb, 2025
In-person & Online
Proposal submission type: individual paper proposal
Abstract submission deadline: Friday 22 Nov, 2024, 23:59 GMT+8
We are constantly challenged by disturbances; as agentive actors, human beings are rendered vulnerable facing the unknown, unforeseen, and unprecedented. But there is no other way out except to reverberate within these disturbances. The perception of disturbance is always linked with disorder, confusion, and chaos, which overwhelms us with an atmosphere full of unsettling tensions. However, what we call disturbance is also where changes unfold. People forge solidarity while feeling vulnerable, learn fresh ideas when the old ones are obsolete, and create new order out of the decadent. Indeed, disturbances always vibrate our world, but so do our connections, which reverberate the warm sense of togetherness to the surrounding others. Reverberation is about intensity, but whether fleeting or enduring, we are emanating support and hope in this precarious world.
Experiencing the post-COVID world with daunting challenges, we attempt to inquire again about issues of individuals and institutions, human beings and the environment, and social injustice and inequality. Listening to the often-silenced voices, anthropologists today are still dedicated to revealing the existing forms of negotiation and resistance to structural and literal violence, highlighting the moving stories about reverberating humans in their life worlds. What is disturbing different subjects? How can we trace trajectories of disturbances in the network across the boundaries? How do people dwell in this disorienting living condition? How do human beings imagine and engender possibilities? We seek papers that aim to discuss and debate the notion of disturbance and reverberation within anthropology and related disciplines.
