Tony Bennett, (Western Sydney University)

Tony Bennett joined Western Sydney University as Research Professor in Social and Cultural Theory at the Institute for Culture and Society in 2009. His previous positions included a period as Professor of Sociology at the Open University where he was also a Director of the ESRC Centre for Research on Socio-cultural Change, and as Professor of Cultural Studies at Griffith University where he was also Dean of Humanities and Director of the ARC Key Centre for Cultural and Media Policy. He is a member of the Australian Academy of the Humanities and of the UK Academy of the Social Sciences. Professor Bennett's interests span a number of areas across the social sciences and humanities, with significant contributions to the fields of literary theory, cultural studies, cultural sociology, and museum studies. His work in museum studies has contributed to the development of the 'new museology' particularly in the light it has thrown on the role of museums as instruments of social governance. The common thread running through his interests across these areas concerns the ways in which culture is tangled up in the exercise of power. This has informed his recent research focused on the ways in which the knowledge practices of aesthetics and anthropology have informed modern processes of cultural governance from the 19th century through to the present. This work includes a significant focus on the part played by the early fieldwork phase in Australian, British, French and American anthropology in the development of new practices of colonial governance. Professor Bennett is currently the lead Chief Investigator on two Australian Research Council Discovery Projects : Australian Cultural Fields : National and Transnational Dynamics and Assembling and Governing Habits. He has worked in a consulting or advisory capacity for a range of governmentorganisations, including UNESCO and the Council of Europe, and has conducted research collaborations with a wide range of cultural sector and government organisations in Australia and Britain. Après un mot d’accueil d’André Delpuech, Directeur du musée de l’homme, la séance sera introduite et modérée par Dominique Poulot (Paris I).
