A kör ötlete az előző féléves “Rendszerváltás” olvasókörön merült fel, annak is az egyik utolsó alkalmán, ahol a rendszerváltással kapcsolatos antropológiai irodalomról beszélgettünk. A kör konklúziója az volt, hogy egyrészt van elég sok angolul publikált, a “nyugati” diskurzusban is ismert, mára már klasszikus kutatás (téeszekről, informális gazdaságról, szegénységről, stb.), másrészt viszont a kelet-európai, főleg 1989 után intézményesült antropológiai diszciplína ezekről nem nagyon vesz tudomást különböző tudományszociológiai okokból. A kör célja a kelet-európai posztszocialista átalakulások kontextusában született, a kortárs kritikai társadalomtudományok irodalmába kapcsolódó, de ebben a régióban kevésbé ismert munkák összegyűjtése és feldolgozása. A kör során megpróbáljuk felfejteni hogy a leegyszerűsítve szocializmusból kapitalizmusba történő átmenetnek nevezett folyamat során hogyan változtak meg a különböző társadalmi-gazdasági intézmények és a hatalmi erőviszonyok. A szövegek kiválogatásánál fontos szempont, hogy azok a helyi folyamatokat a globális hierarchia-viszonyokba beágyazottan kezeljék.

A kör során minden alkalomnak lesz egy-egy felelőse, aki az adott alkalom témájából alaposan felkészül és az adott alkalmat moderálja. A kör célja hogy a témák közötti kapcsolatokat együtt, közösen fedezzük fel és rakjuk össze. A kör végeztével nyáron egy rövid erdélyi kutatótábort is tervezünk, ahol Gagyi József antropológus vezetésével egy romániai falu példáján keresztül a “terepen” is végiggondoljuk a félév elméleti munkáját.
