Decolonizing the politics of resistance in Oaxaca, and elsewhere
Author Biography
Myriam Lamrani, University College London
Myriam Lamrani is an anthropologist whose work focuses on visuality and images. Her doctoral research (UCL, 2018) was on devotional images in Oaxaca, Mexico. One such image is that of la Santa Muerte. She is the co-winner of the J.B. Donne Essay Prize on the Anthropology of Art (2019). She is currently an Honorary Research Fellow at University College London. One of the core concepts that guide her work is that of intimacy as a lens through which to look at the inclusion of politics into the religious, straddling the boundaries between language and image. Her approach is interdisciplinary and multimodal, using new conceptual and empirical approaches to account for the visual in the field. Other geographical areas of interest: Latin America, Greece, and the Mediterranean.
She was part of the ERC project: CARP - Comparative Anthropologies of Revolutionary Politics, a European Research Council [https://www.ucl.ac.uk/anthropology/revolution] (2014-2019).
