[1] Call for Paper Abstracts - SPA Panel - Violent Talk and the Negotiation
of Social Experience - Deadline: January 18, 2015
SPA Panel Abstract: Violent Talk and the Negotiation of Social Experience
In anthropology, talk about violence is often taken at face value, as
reflecting traumatic violent experience and suffering. In such accounts,
discourse about violence is taken as essentially referential, as describing
past experiences. But people may talk about violence for many different
reasons— for example to joke, transform relationships, and express complex
sentiments. Such discourse, moreover, may or may not reflect actual violent
experiences. In both Morocco and the Marshall Islands, children and adults
talk a lot about the graphic violence they have witnessed, perpetrated, or
been subjected to, and yet this talk often does not seem to correspond to
actual behavior. In Morocco, humor and joking are often infused into these
accounts, along with quick transitions between playful and angry affect,
which complicates these less than straightforward accounts. In the
Marshall Islands, children use physical imagery to organize power
hierarchies and engage in imaginative play. This panel explores how talk
about violence structures relationships and experience in unexpected ways.
We welcome papers that consider violent discourse using semiotic,
psychoanalytic, and other theoretical approaches. If you are interested in
presenting on the topic, please send an abstract to Christine El Ouardani (
[log in to unmask]) and Elise Berman ([log in to unmask]) by
Sunday January 18th.
NOTE: We are interested in putting together a panel on the way in which
talk about violence is used in the everyday lives of children and adults in
unexpected ways. We’ve purposely left this abstract a bit vague, in order
to see what kinds of papers others may be interested in presenting, at
which point we will write a much more specific panel abstract.
[2] Call for Panel and Paper Abstracts - Society for the Anthropology of
Religion Meeting - Deadline: January 30, 2015
The deadline for submitting panel and paper abstracts for the 2015 SAR
Biennial Meeting has been extended until January 30, 2015. Proposals should
be sent to Adeline Masquelier at <[log in to unmask]>. As previously
announced, the meeting will take place April 16-19, 2015 in San Diego, CA.
The meeting theme is "Religion, Ritual and Morality." We have secured very
reasonable room rates with the Handlery Hotel where the meeting will be
held. They are $119 for singles and doubles, $139 for triples. With its
mild temperatures, its beaches, and its many cultural attractions, San
Diego is the perfect destination in April.
Paper abstracts should be not more than 250 words and should include the
presenters name, institution, and email address. Panel Abstracts should be
not more than 500 words (not counting the abstracts for the constituent
papers). Panels can be of a range of sizes but paper presentations should
not be longer than 20 minutes. Further information about the meeting can be
found at: http://www.aaanet.org/sections/sar/index.php/activities/meeting/
[3] Call for Paper Abstracts - Inequality, Equality and Difference -
Society for the Anthropology of North America (SANA) Meeting - April 16-18,
NYC - Deadline: January 30th, 2015
Inequality has recently found its way back into popular discourse. Buffeted
by economic and ecological crises and haunted by a
welfare-turned-surveillance state, many have come to doubt the ability of
the present social system to produce an equitable, sustainable society.
This doubt undergirded social movements from the Right and Left, with
widely ranging demands, and has in turn been taken up particularly by a
liberal economic, political, and intellectual ?establishment.? Some see a
genuine opportunity to reduce and eliminate inequality while others see a
cynical rearguard defense of an unequal system in crisis. North American
anthropologists have historically had a great deal to say about inequality.
From bodies to body politics, inequalities can be made highly visible for
radical or conservative aims or effaced under other logics of difference
and power (e.g. ?national security,? ?public safety,? ?economic growth?).
Inequality can be many things: lived experience, social metrics, an
administered and organized system of difference, a deviation from an ideal
state of equality, a legal criteria, a problem in need of activist or
institutional intervention. Inequality, in these definitions, doggedly and
systemically persists?as does the belief in an often under-theorized
equality. In this vein, we ask:
* When does inequality become legible and illegible? Through what
discourses, practices, and logics? To whom? Toward what end?
* Who makes interventions to address inequality? How do these articulate
with or oppose systems of rule? What rules, rulers, and rulings stabilize
unequal conditions and deliver equality?
* How do frames of ?inequality? and ?equality? differ from other frames of
difference and power, like those that separate humans from the natural
world, citizens from non-citizens, states from people, able-bodied and
differently-abled people, and propertied from non-propertied?
* Why do some forms of inequality?gay marriage, drug laws, healthcare and
food systems?seem amenable to a degree of rectification while other systems
of inequality production?voter laws, immigrant rights, redevelopment, trade
pacts, intelligence capacities, racialized policing?seem impervious to
redress?
* Can conditions of inequality be something other than oppressive? How do
people re-signify inequality?
* Where and what is equality?
This conference will be organized into four thematic tracks, listed below.
Each track will be comprised of a group of participants who will engage in
two days of sustained engagement. The tracks have been selected based on
their openness and applicability to a range of potential topics. Each
track is open to a mixture of mode of participation: interlocutor sessions,
roundtables, panel presentations, in-depth explorations, field trips,
performances, etc. Each track has a track editor who has designed the
theme and is working with the Conference Chair to design the schedule. We
encourage session and track interactions (circulated papers, thoughts,
shared documents, postings, etc) leading up to the conference so as to make
conference interactions as substantive and productive as possible. The
conference is perhaps best conceived as a kind of collectively produced
mini-school where we come to learn from and teach each other. It is a time
for intimate and sustained interactions with a consistent group of
colleagues dedicated to thinking through particular themes. It works best
when participants make connections between sessions and thematic
discussions build over the course of the 2-day engagement. To that end,
each day will conclude with a plenary discussion to summarize and make
links among emerging themes. Everyone who hopes to participate should
choose one of the tracks below in which to participate. For full track
descriptions, please visit: http://sananet.org/sanaconference.php
1) Aftermath : This track will connect work synthesizing and
interpreting social realities that surface after moments of catastrophe,
resistance, or social upheaval. We explore ethnography in the moments
following perceived crises or victories and the ramifications for people?s
political imaginations. Our track continues the discussion from the last
SANA conference of ?the end times? by asking what it means to do
anthropology in the aftermaths?of welfare as we know it, 9/11, Occupy Wall
Street, two terms of a ?post-racial? presidency, or other topics. (Editors:
Mannissa Maharawal, Mark Porter Webb, Nazia Kazi)
2) Equality Measures -- This track examines both public and private
initiatives to reduce inequalities in health, housing, education, criminal
justice, and other realms. We welcome papers that explore how (in)equality
is measured as well as the measures various actors take to address
inequalities, and how evidence is put to use toward equality-making
practices. (Editors: Elizabeth Youngling and Emily Metzner)
3) Anthropology on the Ground : Anthropologists can stand witness. We
can accept our social complicity while acting against structural violence.
We can enact a direct commitment to be there on the ground as witnesses and
actors for change. This track seeks anthropologists and community
activists who are engaged on the ground, as witnesses to social justice
struggles, as activists, as advocates. We seek submissions from those who
share with us the view of ?the field,? not as a place for data extraction
but, instead, as places of theory formation, praxis, and activist-oriented
witnessing. (Editor: Charles Menzies)
4) Postindustrial Landscapes : We invite proposals that explore the
precarity and inequality produced by toxic or sustainable, extractive or
revitalizing, transformations of North American landscapes, broadly defined
to include sociological, ecological, and ontological spaces. We seek new
kinds of community studies that link local events to global networks,
bridging rural-urban and human-nonhuman divides. (Editors: Kathryn Dudley,
Alexander Blanchette, Chloe Taft, Alison Kanosky, and Rebecca Jacobs)
Submission Information
Anyone interested in participating is welcome to submit a singular proposal
or a proposal for a group panel or session relating to one of the tracks
above and speaking to the overarching theme. If you are proposing a panel
or session, you should have confirmation from each potential participant at
the time of application.
Proposals should be submitted to Michael Polson, Conference Chair, at
[log in to unmask] Paper abstracts may be up to 250 words and
panel abstracts may be up to 500 words. All proposals should indicate the
track in which you would like to participate. The deadline for submission
is Friday January 30. Abstracts will be reviewed by the Chair and
Conference Committee in coordination with the Track Editors. We will
notify participants in mid- to late-February. Information on conference
registration will be forthcoming. For any questions about the tracks or the
conference please direct emails to [log in to unmask]
Conference Information
The 2015 conference of the Society for the Anthropology of North America
(SANA) will take place April 16-18 at John Jay College of the City
University of New York. Under a Progressive inequality-minded mayor, with a
police department racked by its own inequality-producing tactics, and a
financial district that is a pivot of inequality production and the
movement against inequality, New York City is a fitting place for this
conference. The conference will be organized around several tracks, each
comprising two days of sustained discussion and analysis around issues of
key importance to North American society.
[4] Call for Conference Submissions - International Conference: Digital
Literary Studies - School of Arts and Humanities, University of Coimbra,
Portugal - Deadline Extended - January 31, 2015

- 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).
