Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden
| Professor Matory is a leading international expert in the field of cultural anthropology, especially with regard to the interrelations between Latin America and Africa. His conceptualization of the "Afro-Atlantic live dialogue" has been widely adopted. It highlights the agency of actors of African heritage between both continents in the period after the abolishment of slavery and the historical depth of "transnationalism". In Germany, Professor Matory intends to further the understanding of Yoruba-related liturgical art collected at Duke University and kindred sacred art collected at Berlin as elements of the same circum-Atlantic flow of ideas. |
