Dr. Tobias Holzlehner
My general research interest focuses on processes of economic and political transformation in the borderlands of the Russia Far East and the Circumpolar North. In the course of the last years I conducted several research projects that tried to grasp shifting social configurations and various forms of mobility in a time of rapid cultural change. I examine in different ways overlapping and constantly moving sets of cultural formations, people and commodities alike, which seem to characterize a growing global and transnational culture. By tracing the connections between local communities and global forces, my research contributes to basic questions which anthropology is facing on our increasingly “moving earth.” In that respect, it is crucial to listen to local voices, how they perceive processes of globalization and transnationalism at the periphery of nation states, and essential to understand in detail the effects of transnational flows of goods and people on local communities.Profil

Expertenprofil
My general research interest focuses on migration and processes of economic and political transformation in the borderlands of the Russia Far East and the Circumpolar North. In the course of the last years I conducted several research projects that tried to grasp shifting social configurations and various forms of mobility in a time of rapid cultural change. I examine in different ways overlapping and constantly moving sets of cultural formations, people and commodities alike, which seem to characterize a growing global and transnational culture. By tracing the connections between local communities and global forces, my research contributes to basic questions which anthropology is facing on our increasingly "moving earth. How can anthropology theorize culture and the social order in periods of radical transition? What are the elements and media of social and cultural stability? How do flows of goods, ideas and people create boundaries and focal points of interaction? In that respect, it is crucial to listen to local voices, how they perceive processes of globalization and transnationalism at the periphery of nation states, and essential to understand in detail the effects of transnational flows of goods and people on local communities.
