Prof. Dr. John Borneman

John Borneman is a guest in 2024. John is Professor of Anthropology, Emeritus, at Princeton University. He has conducted fieldwork in Germany and Central Europe, and in Lebanon and Syria. His research focuses on two sets of relationships: on the state and law to intimacy and practices of care; and on political identification, belonging, and authority to forms of justice, accountability, and regime change. He also works on questions of epistemology and knowledge in the public sphere, and on psychoanalytic understandings of the self, group formation, and political form.
