Biography
Dr. Lise Zurné (1992) is a visual anthropologist working in the field of memory & heritage, gender, ethnography, war, and embodiment. Her PhD (2023) explored the performance of modern war history in historical reenactment. She hereby analyzed the ways in which reenactors negotiate contested histories, including (de/re) colonization in Indonesia, gender representation and the performance of suffering in relation to WWII in Europe. Her documentary The Feel of History (2017) has been screened at various ethnographic film festivals. Recent publications additionally focus on methodological discourses and challenges, in particular in relation to gender and ethnography.
At the EUR, she teaches courses in the field of cultural history on the BA and MA level. She has partly developed the course Historical Representation and Imagination which focusses on the role of media in processes of cultural memory. Other courses include: Migration, Citizenship & Identity; Religion, Culture and Global Encounters; Bachelor Thesis Authoritarian Lives, Master Research Workshop History, Memory and National Identity; Making Traditions in Everyday Life.
She is also a co-founder of the ethnovision, a collective of five visual anthropologists who provide workshops on the use of visual methods in academic research. She also co-chairs the Working Group Safety in the Field at the LOVA network for feminist anthropologists and is member of its editorial board of the Journal of Feminist Anthropology and Gender Studies.
