Abstract
Because of the difficulty anthropology continues to face in relinquishing its secular vestiges, field encounters with a not-immediately-perceptible reality, the realm of God, the invisible, and the otherworldly have usually been removed or deemed insignificant in anthropological accounts. In dialogue with the ontological turn and other recent developments in anthropology, in this presentation, we introduce our network advocating for a more profound reconsideration of the role that the encounter with other modes of knowing in the field might have for the discipline tout court. Proposing to include transcendence, the divine, and invisible realities in a reflection on anthropological knowledge per se, we foreground vertical knowledge intended as a mode of approaching knowledge that centers on the human ability to transform and experience the self in ways that also correspond to different modalities of perceiving reality.

Outline for the study of Nikola Tesla as a myth
Our postdoctoral researcher, Ivan Flis, is joining CAS SEE Seminars with Guests on Thursday, January 19th at 12 PM (CET) with his lecture titled “Outline for the study of Nikola Tesla as a myth”.
In this talk, Flis will propose an outline for the study of the memory and legacy of Nikola Tesla. Through a series of case studies spanning the period from 1856 to today, and contextualizing Tesla as a person produced by the post-imperial (Walton, 2021) spaces of the now disintegrated Austro-Hungarian Empire and the “hidden” empire of the United States (Immerwhar, 2019), his aim is to reconstruct the many overlapping monomythical images of Tesla produced during his life and after.
