Claudio Lomnitz is the Campbell Family Professor of Anthropology at Columbia University. A historical anthropologist, his scholarship focuses on the history, politics, and culture of Mexico, and spans a wide variety of topics relevant to Mexican society, including revolution, nationalism, public intellectualism, death, popular culture, and the conception of the family. His books include Labyrinth: Culture and Ideology in Mexican National Space; Deep Mexico, Silent Mexico: An Anthology on Nationalism; Death and the Idea of Mexico; and a book about exile, ideology, and revolution titled The Return of Comrade Ricardo Flores Magón. A scholar both in English and Spanish, Professor Lomnitz contributes regular columns to the Mexican newspapers La Jornada and Nexos. He has also collaborated with his brother, theater director and playwright Alberto Lomnitz, to adapt his scholarship for the stage on two separate occasions. His most recent play, La Gran Familia, opened in 2018 with Mexico’s National Theater Company.
Professor Lomnitz joins Dean Harris to discuss the multiple migrations of his past; his views on the role of the public intellectual; the challenges of adapting scholarship to the creative arts; and the conflict-ridden relationship between Mexico and the United States.
