Aleksandar Bošković, PhD

Aleksandar Bošković was also teaching as a Guest Lecturer at the University of the Witwatersrand (South Africa). His main research interests are history and theory of anthropology, psychoanalysis, myth and religion, semiotics, ethnicity, and gender. He is currently involved in the research project about rationality in anthropology.



Beside a dozen books and numerous articles, Bošković’s increased interest in theory in the last ten years also resulted in almost 200 invited talks and guest lectures in 27 countries around the world – so far, including at universities of Cambridge, Aberdeen, Brunel, Goldsmiths College, Oslo, Bergen, Münster, Leipzig, Hamburg, Bilgi (Istanbul), Pretoria, Paraná (Curitiba), Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Vanderbilt (Nashville), and College of William & Mary (Williamsburg). He co-organized a conference on Southeast European anthropologies (with Chris Hann) in 2011, and on the anniversary of the publication of the African Political Systems (with Günther Schlee) in 2015, both at the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology in Halle/Saale.
