*[1] Call for Journal Articles and Reviewers - Journal - Contingent
Horizons - York University - Deadline: December 15, 2015 *

Dear fellow students and peers,

Pat yourself on the back: you’ve survived the fall term! During the past
few weeks, you’ve probably written a number of final papers. Maybe among
those papers there is one that you are particularly proud of for the ideas
you put forth, or for the depth of your research, or for the quality of
your writing.  Or perhaps you have a paper from a previous term that you
think exemplifies the best of your work. We’d like you to consider
submitting that paper to the second issue of Contingent Horizons, The York
University Student Journal of Anthropology. Don’t worry about making
revisions now, as our peer reviewing process will give you time and
constructive feedback for revisions during the winter term. The deadline
for submissions is December 15, 2014.

Another way you could contribute to this growing student journal is as a
peer-reviewer. We receive submissions from undergraduate and graduate
students from anthropology departments worldwide; their works benefit
greatly from the constructive criticism they receive from our peer
reviewers as part of preparing the article for publication.

With classes over, and a little extra time on your hands, we hope that this
winter break you submit your papers, volunteer to peer review and take a
look at our inaugural issue at www.contingenthorizons.com. Contact us at
[log in to unmask] for any further questions.

Wishing you all a relaxing and enjoyable winter break!

All best,

The Contingent Horizons Collective

*[2] Call for Papers - Conference - Unsettling Colonial Modernity:
Islamicate Contexts in Focus - University of Alberta - Extended Deadline:
December 15, 2014*

April 24-25, 2015 Keynote speakers: Dr. Sherene Razack*, Dr. Parin Dossa**

The late-19th century acceleration of European colonialism in the Middle
East and North Africa gave rise to a range of cultural, sociopolitical, and
socioeconomic projects seeking to restructure Islamicate societies after
modern Europe. Such Eurocentric projects were predominantly advanced
through subordinating Islamicate traditions, cultures, and identities. This
traumatic historical experience evokes the image of a Muslim other laid on
the Procrustean bed of European modernity; Islamicate traditions, cultures,
and identities were either stretched out of shape or sawed off so that they
would fit the hegemonic conception of modernity.

This homogenizing conception of modernity, however, has faced serious
challenges from within and without its European bedrock. Critics have
problematized the unilinear view of historical progress in the discourse of
Enlightenment modernity and its homogenizing universalism; they have also
highlighted the (in)formal colonial trajectory of European modernity in
non-European contexts. Out of these critical engagements, have emerged
counterdiscourses such as “indigenous modernities”, “multiple modernities”,
and “alternative modernities”, as well as a rich body of literature
provincializing Europe, historicizing lived experiences of European
modernity, and unveiling its darker side. These critiques have opened up
new possibilities for transcending false binary oppositions of West/East,
modernity/tradition, secular/sacred, and culture/nature.

The organizing committee of this interdisciplinary conference invites
contributions to the current rethinking of post-19th century identity
formations and sociopolitical transmutations in Islamicate contexts (both
national and diasporic) vis-à-vis the colonial project of modernity. We are
particularly interested in examining practical implications as well as
challenges and prospects of such dialogical investigations. Topics might
include, but are not limited to:

§  Modern nation-building and its discontents

§  Postcolonialism, indigeneity, and decoloniality

§  Narrative resistance

§  Feminist theories of experience and first-person knowledge

§  Identity politics and intersectionality

§  Subjectivity, theories of the self, and narrative identities

§  Racialization and epistemologies of ignorance

§  Trauma, affect, memory, and their link to identity

§  The return of the repressed in myth, phantasy, and neurosis

§  Islamophobia in the post-War-on-Terror era

§  Orientalization of diasporic identities in popular culture

§  Radical pedagogies in interrogating Islamophobia/orientalism

§  Religion, secularism, and democracy

§  Orientalism and occidentalism

§  Critical race and whiteness studies

§  Marxist literary criticism

§  Critical (ir)realism

§  Technophobia, eco-criticism, and post-apocalyptic literature

§  Post-modernism as the return of Romanticism

§  Globalization and socio-economic development

Contributions can take the form of papers or posters. Please send abstracts
(150-200 words for posters; 300-500 words for papers), along with a short
bio of author(s), to [log in to unmask] by December 15, 2014. Decisions on

*[3] Call for Papers - “Ruins and the Future” - 7th Annual McGill
University Anthropology Graduate Student Conference - Montreal, Quebec -
Deadline: January 5, 2014*

Ruins and the Future, McGill University, Friday, April 10, 2015

“No matter how hard I worked, no matter how long I waited, the future never
seemed to arrive.”
-- Arata Isozaki, “Ruins”

In the early 1960s, Japanese architect Arata Isozaki superimposed his
designs for “the city of the future” atop images of the ruination left in
the wake of the atomic bomb. In his struggle to live up to the utopian
vision of his contemporaries, he found himself forced to ask,"If the image
of those ruins burned so deeply in my eyes and if my memory was prohibiting
me from exercising my imagination on the future, should I not simply
embrace the idea and accept that the future would be composed of the same
kind of ruins?" Imagined in decay, Isozaki’s city of the future rises up
among the ruins of its past.

For the 7th Annual McGill Anthropology Graduate Student Conference, we ask:
How do such overlays--of futures and pasts, destruction and possibility,
growth and death--resonate in the curiosities, priorities, and
methodologies of anthropology? What are our relationships to ruins, to
ruination, and to projects for the future?
The contemplation of ruins has a long history of its own--from sentimental
Romantic fixations to contemporary concerns with traces, materiality,
critique, and capitalism. Stoler’s (2013) recent edited volume productively
attends to ruins and ruination as fragments, traces, and symptoms of
‘imperial’ histories. Dawdy (2010) has likewise approached ‘modern ruins’
as markers of domination, but also fertile landscapes, “tears in the
spaciotemporal fabric through which new social forms can emerge” (18). In
each case, these authors depict the trails of debris that mark both
historical and contemporary processes and presences. Yet ruins also seem to
confound time in the crumbling of foundations, perhaps inspiring new
ecologies of diversity, or even offering strategic sites for
nation-building.
Our aim is to provide a space to collectively think about and reflect upon
'ruins' and their relation to various temporal horizons. For instance, we
invite participants to consider how ruins might trouble conceptions of
time, progress and history. Can we think of the present as a site of
ruination? How do material and immaterial traces of the past constitute a
memory of the contemporary? Further, ruins may bring our attention to
layered histories--for example, in drawing attention to how Khmer Rouge and
Vietnam War bulletholes in 10th century temples flatten time or layer
multiple temporalities. We might also ask how today’s technical or
infrastructural ruins attest to futures that never were, or imminently may
be.
Submitted papers are welcome to expand upon these themes in creative and
unanticipated
ways, but in the spirit of promoting a generative and lively conversation,
we ask:

   - Beyond an immediate historical materiality, how might ruins trouble or
   produce various futures?
   If ruins have so often been viewed as physical testaments to a nostalgic
   or an imperial past, what might they instead tell us about an imminent or
   forgotten future?
   - What anthropological engagements might emerge when we view ruins as
   conceptual
   tools, dynamic processes, or theoretical provocations?
   - How can we approach the absence of ruins through sites of historical
   removal or landscapes of dispossession?
   - What kinds of traces do we allow to persist in the future? What
   endures through time? What can become a ruin and what cannot?

Submit your short abstracts (250 words) to [log in to unmask] by
January 5th, 2015. Please include your name, university affiliation, and
contact information. You will be notified of the reception of your
abstract, and invitations will be distributed by

*[4] Call for Papers - Conference - Confronting Categories- Western
Anthropology Graduate Society - Western, Ontario - Deadline: January 10,
2015*

CALL FOR PAPERS

The Western Anthropology Graduate Society (WAGS) jointly with the
Anthropology Undergraduate Society at Western University (London, ON) are
pleased to announce Western University’s 3rd Annual Anthropology Graduate
Student Conference entitled: Confronting Categories to be held from Friday,
March 6 through Sunday, March 8, 2015.

 History, women’s studies, geography, sociology, political science, First
Nations studies, as well as archaeology, linguistic, biological, and
socio-cultural anthropology incorporate a wide range of techniques and
strategies in order to explore the human experience. These disciplines
converge in the use of categories to conceptualize and make sense of human
behaviour and cultural practices. We invite abstracts that will facilitate
scholarly discussion and critical thinking in one or more of three major
areas of academic research as it relates to the application of categories
in the social sciences:

How do the humans and nonhumans we study classify the observable world
around them and why?

How does the use of categories in academia help or limit us in
communicating our ideas? (i.e., what information is lost when we divide our
data into categories? What information is gained?)

Which categories and labels still present in anthropological research (and
other academic disciplines) are rooted in colonial thought, and how can we
best decolonize the discipline(s)?

This conference provides the opportunity for graduate and undergraduate
students to reflect critically on how “categories” influence their own
research, as well as broader academic and applied contexts.

 We invite you to submit paper abstracts for 15-minute oral presentations
by Saturday January 10, 2015 to [log in to unmask] Please include
your name and affiliation, paper title, abstract (up to 250 words), and 3-4
keywords.

 We highly encourage students from outside of London, Ontario to make
submissions. Non-London residents whose abstracts are received by the
deadline (January 10, 2015) and are accepted will be eligible to apply for
the Western Anthropology Conference Student Travel Bursary.

 Updates, the program, keynote speaker(s), bursary guidelines and
eligibility, and other resources will be posted on the conference website:

Media - Gülen Chair for Intercultural Studies - KU Leuven University,
Belgium 28-29 May 2015

*Keynote Speakers**:*

*Vít Šisler* - Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Arts at Charles
University in Prague, Member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of
Religion, Media and Digital Culture, Managing Editor of CyberOrient, a peer
reviewed journal of the virtual Middle East.

*Heidi Campbell* - Associate Professor at the Department of Communication
 and an Affiliate Faculty in the Religious Studies Interdisciplinary
Program at Texas A&M University
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_A%26M_University>. She studies religion
and new media and the influence of digital and mobile technologies on
religious communities.[5]
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heidi_Campbell#cite_note-5> Her work has
covered a range of topics from the rise of religious community online,
religious blogging and religious mobile culture within Christianity
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity>, Judaism
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judaism> and Islam
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam>, to exploring technology practice and
fandom as implicit religion and religious framings within in digital games.

*Key words**:* Social Networks and Media, Social Movements, Networking,
European Muslims, Transnationalism, Cyber Communities, iMuslims

The increasing growth of the Internet is reshaping Islamic communities
worldwide. Non-conventional media and social networks such as Facebook and
Twitter are becoming more popular among the Muslim youth as among all parts
of the society. The new channels of information and news attract new Muslim
publics in Europe. The profile of the people using these networks range
from college students to Islamic intellectual authorities. Such an easy and
speedy way of connecting to millions of people across the globe also
attracts the attention of social movements, which utilize these networks to
spread their message to a wider public. Many Muslim networks and social
movements, political leaders, Islamic institutions and authorities use
these new media spaces to address wider Muslim and also non-Muslim
communities, it is not uncommon that they also address and reach certain
so-called radical groups.

Much attention also has been given to the use of social media technologies
and their ability to spark massive social change. Some commentators have
remarked that these connection technologies, ranging from smartphones to
Facebook, can cause revolutionary digital disruptions, while others have
even gone so far as to suggest that social media platforms such as Facebook
and Twitter may have incited the Arab Spring. During the Arab Spring or
Revolutions, the role of social media as an important and effective tool
that had a political force to mobilize people, has been commonly
acknowledged. Zeynep Tüfekçi of the University of North Carolina quotes
that, "Social media in general, and Facebook in particular, provided new
sources of information the regime could not easily control and were crucial
in shaping how citizens made individual decisions about participating in
protests, the logistics of protest, and the likelihood of success."
However, many scholars argue today that the reason of the revolutions were
not social media, they also commonly agree that information dispersion,
whether by text or image, was pre-dominantly managed through social media.
Hence similar arguments were made in part of the Gezi Protests that took
place in Turkey, in the late spring of 2013, where the protesters declared
themselves journalists as they spread images and information through social
media; such information they claim was censored by the mainstream media.

While many researches have focused primarily on the Internet that has
played a role in Muslim radicalization, there is less emphasis on the
Internet that is also being utilized to encourage Muslims to advocate for
gender equality, citizenship and human rights within an Islamic framework,
more generally. The social, political and cultural participation of Muslims
via Internet open new discussions topics and research areas on Muslims
living in Europe. Discussions groups, Facebook communities and all other
cyber activism are interlinked with the debates on public sphere and
citizenship. The never ending space of cyber activism transform the old
debates on Islamic knowledge, authority, citizenship, Muslim communities
and networks. The way that this transformation comes out is that young
Muslims who are familiar with online platforms, use these spaces to enter
debates and get a be-it informal space to present and represent their
identities, ideologies, aspirations and even solutions. These platforms can
offer the periphery voices to raise their experiences with stereotypes and
marginalization. According to some scholars, bloggers and internet forums
challenge the traditional media landscape by contributing to public
constructions of Islam. The cyber space not only offers internet-natives
platforms to argue about social problems but it also allows them to ask
questions and find immediate and updated answers to problems concerning
their own religious obligations and ethical concerns. Social media provides
information accessible to Muslims all over the world, who can connect. It
also provides them spaces to argue about belonging to a minority religion
of a country they are a citizen of, and how to balance their
cultural-religious sensibilities with their citizenship duties.

During this workshop we want to address the politics of identity
construction and representations of Muslims in Europe through having a look
at the updated mediascape based on but not limited by following headlines:

*1.Muslim networks and movements in Western Europe : Formation of
transnational communities*

There are current debates about the links Muslims in Europe have with
Muslims around the globe, and whether these links create a separate global
Muslim identity in contrast to an integrated European identity. There is
also the debate as to whether such links create a passage to radicalism.
This section focuses on how Muslims in Europe “link” with other Muslims and
Muslim groups across the globe. It looks into how Muslim networks across
the globe influence Muslims in the West in terms of integration,
social-political participation, education, etc. It also looks into how
these groups influence each other, and how they reflect on issues
concerning Muslim in Europe and across the globe.

On a second level it ask the following questions; how do communication
technologies create a new transnational Muslim community? How are
transnational Muslim communities regardless of ethnic differences created
through the use of mass media and social media? How is Islamic discourse
spread through mass media, how is an Islamic thought developed and
dispersed through social (mass) media? How do virtual communities bring
about social change? What are the dynamics between Muslim intellectuals,
mass media, and knowledge dispersion? What are the relationships between
diaspora’s and online networking?

2   *Social networking and Muslims in the West*

This section focuses on how Muslims connect online to learn more about
their religion, for online dating/marriage, to share experiences of
stereotyping/victimization/racism/islamophobia, to present/represent their
ideology. It also looks into how through social media, Muslims create a
space of debate, construct and share aspirations-imaginaries-products. How
is consumerism among Muslims affected by shared images on these networks?
How does the common sharing of certain video’s and texts, create a global
common culture among Muslim youth?

3   *(Social) Media and Participation: Muslims in Europe*

This section focuses on how social media and the press influences political
tendencies of Muslims in Europe. How do Muslims construct a sense of
belonging and political responsibility in Western Europe, and does social
media and the press have an effect on these phenomena? How does media
create a common sense of awareness and how does this awareness in the
global and local scene have an impact on their social participation? How do
Muslim charity organizations function within the sphere of media and social
media?

*Tuition Fees: *Presenters and participants are expected to pay the costs
of their travel and accommodation. The organizers have a reduced prize from
hotel ‘La Royale’ in Leuven.

The tuition fees to attend the workshop will be arranged as follows:

Speakers and delegates: 50€

System Breakdown? Critical Reflections on the European Union in Crisis

Abstract deadline: January 15

Conference Dates: March 19-20, 2015

The current state of the European Union appears precarious. Reoccurring
currency issues, increasingly Insecure borders, economic stagnation,
difficulties in migration flows, volatile politics, and waning public
support for the Union, among other problems, have all given rise to debates
over the future course of the world’s most ambitious supranational project.
Scholars and practitioners are invited to critically reflect on these
issues by examining ways we can learn from the European Union’s failures
and successes and better identify best practices going forward.

The Symposium, organized by the Political Science graduate cohort and
faculty, invites papers and posters from across disciplines and
perspectives, including, but not limited to: Political Science, Public
Administration, Economics, Sociology, Anthropology, History, Law, Gender &
Development Studies, Geography, Psychology, Linguistics, Communications
Studies, and Environmental Sciences.

Suggested topics for paper and poster submissions include any combination
of the following:

• Governance, Regulation & Political Integration

• Foreign Policy & Relations

•Economics & Finance

•Trade & Currency

•Security & Borders

•Internal & External Migration

•Health & Demographic Shifts

•Energy, Environment, & Sustainability

Papers and posters are meant to spur debate and will be assigned to panels
with the panel chair and one contributing panel author acting as
discussants for each paper.

Graduate Students and Faculty interested in participating are invited to
submit paper abstracts (maximum 400 words) in English, along with a current
C.V., by no later than

December10th.

Posters require a C.V., title (maximum 20 words), public abstract (maximum
50 words prepared for print), and full abstract (maximum 250 words).

Notification of acceptance will be given by January 25th, and a full draft
by those selected for presentation must be submitted by March 1. Final
post-conference drafts must then be resubmitted by May 1st, in order to be
considered for peer reviewed publication in the edited conference journal
due out for the Fall of 2015.

*[8] Call for Abstracts & Curatorial/Artists Statements - Graduate
Conference - Mind the Gap(s): Spaces of precarity/spaces of possibility -
Social Anthropology Graduate Association - York University - Toronto,
Ontario - Deadline: January 31, 2015*

York University’s Social Anthropology Graduate Association (SAGA)

is proud to present an anthrosalon: Mind the Gap(s): Spaces of
precarity/spaces of possibility March 21, 2015 | York University, Toronto

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS & CURATORIAL/ARTIST STATEMENTS

DUE: January 31, 2015

The Social Anthropology Graduate Association of York University invites
submissions from scholars for our anthrosalon. Drawing on this year’s
theme, *Mind the Gap(s): Spaces of precarity/spaces of possibility*, we
seek to explore how gap(s) are contextualized, investigated, analysed and
critiqued in theory, methodology, and practice by academics, artists, and
activists.

This theme builds upon anthropology’s attunements to the, “precarities”
(Allison 2013, Butler 2012), “possibilities” (Graeber 2007) and “frictions”
(Tsing 2005) that gesture toward “an anthropology of the otherwise”
(Povinelli 2011). We consider gap(s) as spaces where both precarity and
possibility reside; as spaces where what has not yet been imagined takes
shape, where the inarticulate and the unseen dwell and where the potential
exists for new things to emerge. We approach gap(s) as ontological spaces
where opportunities, desires, tensions, intensities, failures, and
anxieties build. We ask: What constitutes the gap? How can we think about,
through, and with gaps? What and who is being de-/re-/activated in the gap?
How can we account for and represent gaps in our work? What is there to
gain by discussing the gap?

We encourage participants to interpret the topic broadly. Submissions
should inspire, challenge and expand our assumptions, understandings, and
approaches to the notion of ‘gap.’ The examples below suggest just a few of
the ways that you might consider your own research with respect to the
theme:

· between affect and articulation

· between sensation and perception

· between zones of inclusion and exclusion

· between matters of concern and matters of fact

· between official accounts and lived realities

· between genealogies and narratives

· between ‘naturalized’ categories and emergent categories

· between evidentiary regimes and contested fields of power

· between academia and activism

·  between culture and materialities

We welcome proposals of traditional papers, panels and poster
presentations, but we also strongly encourage submissions that explore the
theme through multimedia, performance, installation, and collaboration. To
propose a presentation, please submit an abstract or statement of no more
than 250 words. Paper presentations are limited to 15 minutes and panels (3
to 4 presenters) to 75 minutes. For interactive-, exhibition-, or
event-based formats, please submit a curatorial/artist statement of up to
three pages, including any space, time, or technical requirements you
require.

Send submissions to *[log in to unmask]
<[log in to unmask]>* by *January 31, 2015*. Include your name,
institutional affiliation (if applicable), and contact information (mailing
address, phone number, and email) on all submissions.

A fee of $20 will apply to those invited to participate. Notifications will
be sent in early February. The anthrosalon will result in a special issue
of *Contingent Horizons: The York University Student Journal of
Anthropology* (www.contingenthorizons.com).

The Rhoda Halperin Memorial Fund celebrates the life and work of Rhoda
Halperin by supporting PhD students in anthropology who emulate her love of
economic anthropology and concern for people on the social margin. In
memory of Rhoda’s convivial collegiality, the Fund also encourages student
professional development through participation in the scholarly meetings of
the SEA and AAA. To meet these goals, students engaged in economic research
focused on social exclusion and poverty are provided small grants for
preliminary dissertation field work and subsequent travel money to present
their findings at the Society for Economic Anthropology annual conference [
http://econanthro.org/awards/halperin-memorial-fund/].

Because Rhoda Halperin’s career exemplified the integration of
anthropological theory with social activism, for the purposes of this
award, *economic anthropology *is broadly defined to include applied and
non-applied perspectives, research that engages with issues of poverty,
exclusion from the political process, and access to education.

*DONATIONS TO THE FUND*

The Halperin Memorial Fund is a fund of the *Society for Economic
Anthropology*, a Section of the *American Anthropological Association*,
which is a 501(c)3 organization. Donations to The Halperin Memorial Fund

please consult your tax advisor regarding your specific situation. When you

*[3] Bertha V. Corets Memorial Fellowship - American Jewish Archives -
Deadline: February 23, 2015*

Established by the Corets Family in loving memory of their mother,
grandmother and great-grandmother, the Bertha V. Corets Memorial Fellowship
will enable students and scholars to spend one-month intensively
researching the courageous actions of Mrs. Corets and the Non-Sectarian
Anti-Nazi League to Champion Human Rights in their efforts to boycott
American businesses-particularly retailers-that continued the importation
and sale of goods from Nazi Germany before World War II. Bertha V. Corets
(1897-1973) was a wife, mother, businesswoman, store-owner and advocate for
social justice. Her many accomplishments include working to ensure the
rights of women to vote, helping found a synagogue in her home community,
forming Bronx Post 64, Ladies Auxiliary of the Jewish War Veterans of the
U.S., and tirelessly advocating for the rights of Jews at home and in Nazi
Europe.

The purpose of the Corets Fellowship is to encourage research in this
instrumental yet little-known effort and to highlight the courage and
conviction of persons such as Bertha V. Corets, who faced personal danger
in their work. Her extensive papers consist of her personal file of over
1,000 pages and publications recording the day-by-day activities of the
boycott.

Applicants must submit a fellowship application together with a five-page
(maximum) research proposal that outlines the scope of their project and
lists those collections at the American Jewish Archives that are crucial to
their research. Applicants should also submit two letters of support,
preferably from academic colleagues. For graduate and doctoral students,
one of these two letters must be from their dissertation advisor. See here
for further information:
