Jonas Tinius

Jonas Tinius studied British and American Literature, Language and Culture as well as Social and Cultural Anthropology at the Universities of Duisburg-Essen, Münster, and Cambridge (UK). He completed his PhD on the negotiation of identity, migration, and society in German theatre in 2016 at the University of Cambridge (UK). Since 2016, he is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Centre for Anthropological Research on Museums and Heritage (CARMAH) at the Institute of European Ethnology of the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. As part of his research, he collaborates with artists and curators of art spaces and galleries in Berlin to study and think about curatorial practices as forms of troubling of national, universal, and hegemonic narratives, especially against the backdrop of major museum transformations such as the Humboldt Forum. He is editor of Anthropology, Theatre, and Development: The Transformative Potential of Performance (with Alex Flynn), Otherwise. Rethinking Museums and Heritage (with colleagues from CARMAH), Der Fremde Blick. Die Seiten des Roberto Ciulli (with Alexander Wewerka), Across Anthropology. Troubling Colonial Legacies, Museums, and the Colonial (with Margareta von Oswald 2020).
