Mario Blaser
Mario Blaser, Assistant Professor in International Development Studies at
York University, Toronto, is an Argentinian anthropologist who has worked in collaboration with the Yshiro indigenous people of Paraguay for over 15 years. His reserach interests are situated at the intersection of Indigenous social movements, ontological encounters and ethnography. He is currently giving shape to a research agenda focused on what he provisionally calls "political ontology." Political ontology brings political economy and political ecology´s concerns with power into the terrain of the encounter of multiple ontologies.
