>JOHANNES FABIAN (Professor of Cultural Anthropology, University of 
>Amsterdam) will visit UIUC from November 10 to November 19.
>
>JOHANNES FABIAN is one of the world's leading anthropologists and 
>cultural theorists. He is the author of the seminal book Time and 
>the Other: How Anthropology Makes Its Object (1983, 2002). Widely 
>read not only by anthropologists, but by historians, literary 
>scholars, and philosophers, the book is a critique of the notion 
>that anthropologists are "here and now," while their objects of 
>study are "there and then" -- an "Other" that exists in a time not 
>contemporary with our own. In addition to Time and the Other, Fabian 
>is the author of numerous works, many of which draw on his extensive 
>fieldwork in Zaire/Democratic Republic of Congo. His books include 
>Jamaa: A Charismatic Movement in Katanga (1971), Language and 
>Colonial Power: The Appropriation of Swahili in the Former Belgian 
>Congo, 1880-1938 (1986), Power and Performance: Ethnographic 
>Explorations through Proverbial Wisdom and Theater in Shaba (Zaire) 
>(1990), Time and the Work of Anthropology: Critical Essays, 
>1971-1991 (1991), Remembering the Present: Painting and Popular 
>History in Zaire (1996), Moments of Freedom: Anthropology and 
>Popular Culture (1998), Our of Our Minds: Reason and Madness in the 
>Exploration of Central Africa (2000), and Anthropology with an 
>Attitude: Critical Essays (2001).
