[1] Abstracts - Conference - Pursuing Justice in Africa - University of Cambridge - Deadline: November 28, 2014
Pursuing Justice in Africa Conference
27th-28th March 2015, University of Cambridge http://www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/events/25640
Convenors: Jessica Johnson and George Karekwaivanane
http://www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/events/25640
In recent decades, justice has been overshadowed as a subject of concern to scholars of Africa by vast literatures centring on rights, crime, punishment, policing and social order. This neglect of justice is striking given the increasing presence of international justice institutions, such as the International Criminal Court, on the African continent and the remarkable diversity of legal structures of justice. Across Africa, complex pluralities of ‘customary’, religious, state, and transnational justice regimes interact on what is often contested terrain. This interdisciplinary conference will place the past and present negotiation of competing notions of justice under scrutiny, with the aims of:
* Moving beyond currently dominant themes in socio-legal studies of Africa by asking broader questions about the aims and aspirations of those engaging with formal, informal or ‘customary’ law, legal reform, and legal institutions.
* Exploring the potential of a focus on justice to overcome limitations associated with the study of human rights, not least their questionable resonance with the vernacular concerns of African citizens. And at the same time, probing the relationship between rights and justice.
* Considering the conceptual possibilities of justice as a means of bypassing contested notions of legal pluralism for understanding intersections of local, national and international legalities.
* Remaining alert to what a focus on justice might obscure or exclude. How, for example, does the language of justice relate to concerns about power and inequality?
* Gathering together scholars from a variety of disciplines whose work converges on issues of justice in Africa and whose projects have not previously been brought into conversation.
The focus of the conference is on the many and varied actors pursuing visions of justice in Africa – their aspirations, divergent practices and articulations of international and vernacular idioms of justice. We will bring together topics of research that are at the cutting edge of contemporary scholarship across a wide range of disciplines, including activism, resource extraction, international legal institutions, and post-conflict reconciliation. Our engagement will be both empirical and theoretical: we aim to grapple with alternative approaches to the concept of justice and its relationships with law, morality, and rights. The keynote address will be given by Professor Kamari Maxine Clarke.
We welcome papers from a range of disciplines, including - but not limited to - anthropology, history, law, criminology and politics. In order to allow time for discussion, presentations will be limited to 20 minutes. We have limited funding to contribute towards the travel costs of a junior scholar based in an African University, but are otherwise unable to fund delegates’ travel and accommodation. We will cover registration costs and conference meals for all speakers, and can provide advice about accommodation in Cambridge.
To apply please send a 300-word abstract to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> by 28 November 2014.
[2] Proposal - Conference - Migration desire: Uncovering the global imaginaries and subjectivities of (im)mobility" - University of Exeter - Deadline: December 1, 2014
Dear Colleagues,
We invite paper proposals for the panel “Migration desire: Uncovering the global imaginaries and subjectivitites of (im)mobility” To be held at the ASA Conference (Association of Social Anthropologists of the UK and Commonwealth), University of Exeter, 13th-16th April 2015
Short Abstract: The panel addresses the moralities, aspirations and claims of belonging that underpin migratory aspirations and trajectories, exploring the global imaginaries, subjective orientations, and power dimensions of (im)mobility, and considering the ethnographic demands they place on anthropologists.
Long Abstract: In recent years, mobility has taken on a new centrality in the way people from across the world voice their personal and collective expectations. Doing anthropology today means to increasingly meet this relatively new and generalized "desire of elsewhere" through which hopes of success and search for opportunities are expressed. Whereas local conditions remain essential to understand the widespread wish to leave, these same conditions are increasingly measured against the standards of a paradigmatic "global form of life", one moulded upon a series of hegemonic models shaping the benchmarks of well-being and happiness on a wide-reaching scale, and which challenges the anthropologist's longstanding fascination with difference. The impact of these models and their role in forging contemporary "expectations of modernity" raises questions about how contemporary forms of power and global imaginaries produce aspirations for change, as expressed, for instance, in the longing for freedom from traditional obligations and claims for membership in a global society (Ferguson 2006; Piot 2010). The panel welcomes contributions that address the moralities, aspirations and claims of belonging underpinning people's migratory aspirations and trajectories. The aim is to explore mobility's entanglements with global images, local values and personal expectations, and to examine how the motivations associated with movement reinforce or subvert hegemonic constructions of power, subjectivity, and inequality in the contemporary world, (re)drawing lines of commonality and exclusion. This, in turn, will help us consider the kinds of theoretical commensalities and methodological mutualisms that people's desires to move- as ethnographic demands placed on anthropologists - call for.

International Conference: Digital Literary Studies
Date: May 14-15, 2015
Location: School of Arts and Humanities, University of Coimbra, Portugal
'Digital Literary Studies' is an international conference exploring methods, tools, objects and digital practices in the field of literary studies. The digitization of artifacts and literary practices, the adoption of computational methods for aggregating, editing and analyzing texts as well as the development of collaborative forms of research and teaching through networking and communication platforms are three dimensions of the ongoing relocation of literature and literary studies in the digital medium. The aim of this two-day conference is to contribute to the mapping of material practices and interpretative processes of literary studies in a changing media ecology.
We invite researchers to submit papers and posters on projects concerned with the digital reinvention of literary studies. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
computational literary analysis (macro analysis, data mining, distant reading, topic modelling; visualization, corpora);
digital philology (electronic editions and archives, textual databases);
computational literary creation (automatic generation of text, textual instruments, kinetic texts, locative narrative, etc.);
the teaching of literature in a digital context;
peer review and open access (new practices of collaboration, dissemination, transfer and validation of knowledge production).
The ‘Digital Literary Studies’ conference will take place at the School of Arts and Humanities, University of Coimbra on May 14-15, 2015. Paper and poster proposals should be submitted by January 15, 2015 through EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eld2015). We also welcome panel proposals (three presenters per panel). All paper proposals must be between 1500 and 2000 words (including references). Authors should provide name, contact details, and institutional affiliation, as well as title, abstract, and keywords for their paper. Authors will be notified of the peer review results by February 15, 2015. Proposals can use any of the following languages: Portuguese, English, Spanish, French, and Italian. Selected articles resulting from the conference papers will be published in a special issue of the journal MATLIT (http://iduc.uc.pt/matlit).

Abstract
The scholarship of religion has undergone a paradigmatic shift in the past decades, partially a reflex of the cogent rise of “public religions” (Casanova) in the contemporary world and the ongoing debates on religion’s normative confines it has triggered. Reflexive approaches to the very concept of religion now challenge its universality. According to a key contributor, Talal Asad: “The reason there cannot be a universal conception of religion is not because religious phenomena are infinitely varied – although there is in fact great variety in the way people live in the world with their religious beliefs. Nor is the case that there is no such thing, really, as religion. It is that defining is a historical act and when the definition is deployed, it does different things at different times and in different circumstance, and responds to different questions, needs, and pressures”. Asad calls attention to the importance of tracing the very processes of defining religion in practice, applying the same logic to what he considers “religion’s twin”, secularity. Unfolding in the disputed world of everyday practice and producing “looping effects” onto what they try to articulate, definitions should be followed attentively by the student of religion, instead of simply stabilized. In consonance, this panel would like to invite potential participants to reimagine the boundary-work of religion through ethnographic and/or historical perspectives. A few themes of interest will be:
a) the passages and cleavages between religious truth regimes and sensibilities and those more intuitively belonging to other “realms” of reality, like politics, economics, art, and science;
b) the government of religious difference by the secular rule of law and juridical controversies around the proper/improper place of religion in the public sphere;
c) the dissociation and overlapping of religious and other ethnic, cultural, racial, and political belonging referents,
d) the labor of defining religion within specific religious traditions, thus the problem of authority and authenticity within a context in which regulatory notions like “heresy” and “blasphemy” have been undermined by a world that celebrates “difference” as a good in itself and an expression of freedom.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Now in its seventh year, this program will give students the opportunity to travel to Ecuador where they will learn about indigenous culture and language by working with a community in the Amazon. The majority of the program will be spent on the shores of the Napo River, which is one of the main tributaries which create the Amazon River. This is an anthropological-based program in which students will take two courses. In the first, students will learn how to construct a research project, learn interviewing techniques, and gain valuable experience in ethnographic methods and analysis by working directly with an indigenous women's cooperative that focuses upon sustainable community tourism. With them, we will be studying indigenous representation in Ecuador (focusing upon the impact of oil, eco-tourism, and rainforest management on identity and empowerment), along with other Kichwa speakers of the upper Amazon. The program also strongly focuses upon an engaged anthropology through which students will develop collaborative partnerships with local community members. For the second course , students will have the opportunity to undergo an intensive study of Kichwa (three hours of formal instruction/day with native speakers) while learning methods in language documentation and analysis. In addition, there will be numerous excursions for students to learn about "shamanism," forestry conservation, biodiversity, and environmental citizenship. $3,500 (airfare, food, and lodging included).
Past students have come from Pennsylvania State University, Cornell University, Indiana University, York University, Tufts University, Louisiana State University, Bowdoin College, University of New Mexico, University of Alabama, University of Illinois-Chicago, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and many others. Their majors have included anthropology, linguistics, geography, biology, global studies, political science, women's studies, global health, interdisciplinary studies, social work, sociology, and studio art.
Alumni of this program have been accepted to graduate programs (i.e. the University of Michigan, University of Chicago, London School of Economics and Political Science, and the University at Albany-SUNY), while others have used this experience to land internships and work with NGOs after graduation such as The Carter Center for Human Rights, Clinton Global Initiative, AmeriCorps, Language Development and Perception Laboratory at the University of Maryland, Université de Lausanne, Yellowstone National Park, Threads of Peru, Cornell University BABY Lab, North Carolina One Health Collaborative, and Latino Health Program of the High Country

[3] Summer School - The 2015 International Political Economy and Ecology Summer School - York University - Deadline: April 13, 2015
Since 1991, the International Political Economy and Ecology (IPEE)
Summer School has offered a course each year on a salient issue within
the IPEE field. We are pleased to announce that we are now inviting
applications for the 2015 IPEE Summer School course from graduate
students, activists and other interested individuals. The application
deadline is Monday April 13, 2015.
*Mean Streets: Class Struggle, Capital Circulation and Public Space*
_Instructor_: Don Mitchell – Distinguished Professor, Syracuse
University__
_Date_: Monday July 6 to Friday July 17, 2015
_Time_: 10:30 am – 1:30 pm, Ross S674
Course Description (_ENVS 6275, GEOG 5395, POLS 6282)__
This course will focus on the production of urban space especially public space – as a function of both class struggle and the circulation of capital. It is vital to understand how capital circulates through and shapes the urban landscape – through property as well as built forms – as well as how it doesn’t: struggles often interrupt the circulation of capital and themselves significantly shape urban space. Such circulation and struggle is not abstracted from the “natural” world of which it is a part. Rather, capitalism must be understood /as/ ecosystem. A significant part of the course, therefore, will be devoted to understanding the ways that capital circulates through, and class struggle contends with, nature and physical processes – including bodily processes – so as to shape urban space in a manner (capital hopes) conducive to capitalist accumulation.
Our “dependent variable” throughout will be public space – streets and sidewalks, plazas, urban parks, publicly-accessible but privately-owned spaces, etc. We will examine the position of public space in urban political economies and political ecologies, since public space is a /basis/ for urban life as well as for accumulation; neither are possible without public space. We will explore, finally, what these processes and struggles mean for urban inhabitants. In other words, we will analyze how and why “the streets” of the city are becoming increasingly mean in capitalism: mean in both the pecuniary and the punitive sense. Such meanness is, we’ll see, precisely the state of the contemporary class struggle in urban capitalism.
Dr. *Don Mitchell*is Distinguished Professor of Geography at the Maxwell School of Syracuse University in New York. He is a prominent Marxist geographer, and has published numerous articles and books on various topics including public space, homelessness and rights (to the city); landscapes and migrant labor; and culture, law and radical geographical politics. In 2011, Dr. Mitchell was awarded the James Blaut Award in recognition of his theories of socio-spatial injustices of capitalism as well as his activism.
