Nominator's project description
| Professor Londono Sulkin is a leading scholar of indigenous Amazonian societies, on morality and ethics. He is well-known internationally for coining the term ‘Amazonian package’ to encapsulate a loose and mutable but widespread pattern among indigenous American peoples’ accounts of social life, personhood, and the cosmos. Furthermore, he is known for proposing a theory of moralities that suggests, without recourse to teleology, how this pattern may have spread out and endured. In Germany, Professor Londono Sulkin will work on moral bio-ethnographies and other exercises that address the relations between personal subjectivity and patterns in collectivities, with a focus on the creation, reproduction, and transformation of expressions of strong qualitative distinctions of worth. |
