CASCA SESSION on CONTEMPORARY RELIGION/SPIRITUALITIES: CALL FOR PAPERS
Reinventing religion
Contrary to the expectations of many classical and modernist
thinkers, religion is showing surprising vitality at present. Among
the changes noted by contemporary observers are: 1) New forms of
social organization: (religious sociality and communalization,
leadership, gender roles ...); 2) The new importance of certain
religious currents, (Neoshamanism (including Wicca, Druidry etc.);
evangelical churches, nondenominational groups, Eastern
spiritualities; 3) Forms of religious hybridity (syncretism, bricolage
...); 4) New religious pluralisms; 5) The permeable boundaries of
religion in contemporary societies (mobility of religious actors,
adaptation of institutional denominations to new social realities...).
We invite submission from those working on contemporary religious
issues for a set of panels to be organized by Deirdre Meintel,
Géraldine Mossière and François Gauthier. Abstracts (150 words
maximum) should be sent by Feb. 7 to Géraldine Mossière
geraldine.mossiere@umontreal.ca
Réinventer la religion
Contrairement aux hypothèses de bon nombre de penseurs classiques et
modernes, le phénomène religieux connaît actuellement une surprenante
vitalité. Parmi ces changements, les observateurs relèvent notamment :
1) de nouvelles formes d'organisation sociale (socialité et
communalisation religieuse, leadership, rôles et statuts genrés...); 2)
la nouvelle importance de certains courants religieux, d'apparition
ancienne ou récente (néochamanisme (incluant le Wicca, le duidisme),
les églises évangéliques, les groupes non dénominationnels, les
spiritualités orientales); 3) des formes d'hybridité religieuse
(syncrétismes, bricolage...); 4) de nouveaux pluralismes religieux; 5)
la flexibilité des frontières religieuses dans les sociétés
contemporaines (mobilité des acteurs religieux, adaptation des
dénominations institutionnelles aux nouvelles réalités sociales).
Nous invitons les chercheurs s'intéressant aux questions liées aux
religions contemporaines à nous rejoindre pour un ensemble de panels
organisé par Deirdre Meintel, Géraldine Mossière et François Gauthier.
Les résumés des propositions (150 mots maximum) doivent parvenir à
Géraldine Mossière avant le 7 février

Call for Proposals -- 2010 PJSA Conference
CALL FOR PROPOSALS
Building Bridges, Crossing Borders:
Gender, Identity, and Security in the Search for Peace
The 8th Annual Conference of the Peace and Justice Studies Association
October 1-2, 2010
Menno Simons College and the Global College
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Submission Deadline -- March 15, 2010
The PJSA Program Committee invites submissions for the 2010 Annual Meeting
of the PJSA, to be held on the campuses of Menno Simons College and The
Global College, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, on Friday October 1 and
Saturday October 2, 2010.
We welcome proposals from a wide range of disciplines, professions, and
perspectives that address issues related to gender, identity, and security
in the search for peace. We seek to explore how security can be re-imagined
in the search for a more just world; to examine the many dimensions of
gender and identity that must be addressed in the search for peace and
justice; and to analyze the complex inter-weaving of all these issues in an
evolving world-wide context of global change. We especially welcome
contributions that explore the legacy of great women peace advocates in the
tradition of Jane Addams, and look forward to proposals and initiatives of
various forms that reflect on and assess the legacy, impact, and future of
UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women and Peace.
Submissions may propose offerings of various forms: research papers,
presentations, round-tables, panels, hands-on workshops, posters, and
creative works using a variety of media to address gender, identity, and
security in the search for peace. Our goal is to create a stimulating
environment where academics and activists, educators, practitioners, and
artists can build bridges and cross borders. The conference will invite
participants to engage with three avenues of exploration: papers and
presentations, hands-on practitioner workshops, and a youth summit. It seeks
to create an environment in which attendees will have multiple opportunities
to meet and dialogue in both formal and informal settings.
The deadline for all proposal submissions is March 15, 2010. Abstracts are
to be no more than 150 words. Those greatly exceeding this limit will not be
printed in the program. All proposals must be submitted electronically
through the PJSA website: http://www.peacejusticestudies.org/.

Round-Table Discussion: The Future of Critical Security Studies in Canada, Thursday 04 February 2010 1.30-3pm, York Research Tower
Round-Table Discussion: The Future of Critical Security Studies in Canada
Thursday 4th February 2010
1.30-3pm
Room 519
York Research Tower
York University, Keele Campus
(Free Admission)
Canadian security/(in)security and defense in theory and practice has been
challenged, re-defined and re-imagined in the changing political and
theoretical global environment in the last decade. These shifts require a
dialogue on recent turns in the field and innovative and multidisciplinary
approaches that call into question traditional understandings of security.
These challenges have been taken up by growing numbers of scholars within
Canada indicating that we may have reached the point at which a
distinctive Canadian voice in security studies may be emerging.
This roundtable discussion brings together distinguished scholars and
practitioners working in the area of Critical Security Studies to discuss
new approaches, critiques of existing approaches and future directions for
the field, both theoretically and regarding the practical development of
this area of research.
The panel features:
David Mutimer, Deputy Director, York Centre for International and Security
Studies, York University
Barbara Falk, Department of Defence Studies, Canadian Forces College
Mark Salter, School of Political Studies, University of Ottawa
Mark Neufeld, Deputy Director, Centre for the Study of Global Power and
Politics, Trent University

CFP - Intersecting Discourses: Health, Religion, and Spirituality
CASCA Call for Papers - Intersecting Discourses: Health, Religion, and
Spirituality
Spirituality
Religious philosophies often play a significant role in social
constructions of the body and health, which in turn have political,
economic, and policy implications. Indeed, the global connection of
different health perspectives and authorities has emerged
concomitantly to, and often as a result of, religious and spiritual
philosophies. As such, interfaces of religion, spirituality, and
health are deeply intriguing social phenomena, the study of which
provides important insights for conceptualizing how both health and
religion are created, negotiated, and reproduced at different social
scales. We welcome papers that address the interface of health,
spirituality, and religion.
The 2010 Canadian Anthropology Society Annual Conference will be held
at Concordia University in Montreal from May 31 to June 3, 2010 as
part of the Congress of the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and
Social Sciences. This year CASCA?s theme is ?Anthropological
Connections: New Spaces and New Networks?? as part of the Federation?s
broader theme, ?Connected Understandings.? For more information,
please see http://cas-sca.ca/casca/
Please send a 150 word abstract no later than February 5, 2010, to
Laura Mandelbaum (laura.mandelbaum@utoronto.ca) and Elizabeth
Urbanowski (elizabeth.urbanowski@utoronto.ca). Thank you!
CASCA 2010 Session Call for Papers: The Anthropology of Vaccines
Anthropological Connections: Vaccines in the 21st Century
The development and introduction of vaccines into human populations calls for
anthropological attention. Pandemic, adjuvant, prioritization, and vaccines
became nightly news around the world during 2009. Vaccines are transnational
commodities, developed by multinational, public-private partnerships, subject
to international standards and regulation. They are introduced in
usually naïve
individuals, variably in developed and developing countries, and they connect
people in biological citizenry. Immunogenicity counters infection; risk
protection counters safety fears. Anti-vaccination movements and
public health
campaigns alike adopt a wide range of cultural, political, religious,
gender and
scientific explanatory models to support their claims. This session will bring
together anthropologists addressing the social and technical challenges of
vaccines within Canada and internationally in the 21st century regulatory
environment.
We welcome submissions by anthropologists working on vaccination and vaccine
issues. Please contact Janice.Graham@dal.ca by February 5.

Connecting CIHR to Medical Anthropologists: "Acceptance, Challenge & Dollars"
The recent welcome by the Canadian Institutes for Health Research
(CIHR) to health and medical social sciences and humanities
researchers came at the same time as SSHRC cut back funding for
health-related research. This has lead to some alarm; while medical
anthropologists have had success with CIHR, there remains concern that
funding priorities, prevailing positivist paradigms, and little social
& health sciences interdisciplinarity within the peer review process
have resulted in a cool reception for their CIHR applications (CMAJ
http://www.cmaj.ca/cgi/rapidpdf/cmaj.109-3110v1?papetoc) and that
these problems will persist into the future. This forum has been
organized in order to engage directly with representatives of the CIHR
with regard to the new funding of health related social sciences
research and to address these concerns. We welcome Scientific
Directors Joy Johnson (Gender & Health) and Colleen Flood (Health
Services and Research Policy), and Ian Graham, Vice President of
Knowledge Translation and Public Outreach who will be representing the
CIHR at this special forum.
We invite all medical anthropologists to participate in this forum and
especially those who have been either successful or not in getting
CIHR funding. If you are interested in formally presenting, please
submit a statement/abstract to janice.graham@dal.ca,
sylvie.fortin@umontreal.ca, or nadelson@yorku.ca. Selected forum
participants will be asked to present a brief (2-4 minute) address so
that we can have more participants and greater opportunity for
engagement and discussion with representatives of the CIHR and each
other.
Les anthropologues médicaux chez les IRSC : « Acceptation, défi et

L'accueil récent que les Instituts de recherche en santé du Canada
(IRSC) ont réservé aux chercheurs en sciences humaines de la santé a
coïncidé avec la décision du CRSH de diminuer les fonds accordés à la
recherche liée à la médecine. Ces événements ont causé certains
remous. En effet, même si les anthropologues médicaux ont été bien
accueillis aux IRSC, plusieurs craignent que les priorités actuelles
de financement, les paradigmes positivistes dominants et la faible
interdisciplinarité (sciences sociales et santé) au sein du processus
d'examen par les pairs engendrent une réponse souvent défavorable aux
demandes envoyées aux IRSC par nos chercheurs (CMAJ
http://www.cmaj.ca/cgi/rapidpdf/cmaj.109-3110v1?papetoc) et que ces
problèmes perdurent. Ce forum a été organisé afin d'échanger
directement avec des représentants des IRSC au sujet du nouveau
contexte de financement de la recherche en sciences sociales liée à la
santé et des préoccupations soulevées. Pour représenter les IRSC au
forum, nous accueillerons les directeurs scientifiques Joy Johnson
(santé des femmes et des hommes) et Colleen Flood (services politiques
de la santé), ainsi que Ian Graham, vice-président, application des
connaissances et sensibilisation du public.
Nous invitons tous les anthropologues médicaux à participer à ce forum

ont demandé des subventions à l'IRSC (avec succès ou non). Si vous

This year?s conference in April 7th & 8th of 2010 at the University of
Massachusetts Boston will explore the relationship between
psychoanalysis and critical social theory. From its very beginning
Sigmund Freud?s psychoanalysis has walked the border as a kind of
fugitive discipline in academia yet one multifarious in its influence
on the mainstream. Surely the welter of hostile and critical responses
accompanying its trajectory in the history of ideas bears a kind of
testimony to its rich intellectual underpinning. In sociology it has
had a creative influence on critical theorists such as Herbert
Marcuse, Eric Fromm, and others of the Frankfurt School, and now has
engaged feminist theorists, post-structuralists and other sociologists
interested in the way in which unconscious processes figure in the
construction of hierarchical social relations. Jacque Lacan?s French
reading of Freud comes particularly close to the sociological
imagination. His theory of the symbolic order and the linguistic
precursors of the unconscious have added additional dimensions to the
discourse of social theory. His notion of the decentered and alienated
self rooted in the intellectual culture of Emile Durkheim, Ferdinand
de Saussure, Claude Lévi-Strauss and Michel Foucault find its
corollaries in the writings of sociologists and philosophers such as
George Herbert Mead, Charles Horton Cooley, and Erving Goffman. This
year?s Social Theory Forum provides an opportunity for a
re-examination and discussion of these fertile intellectual domains
for a new cross-disciplinary pursuit of scholarship in social theory.
The conference organizers seek papers that employ rigorous analyses
and interpretations of the past and present of these intellectual
engagements that form the foundation of modern social theory.
Papers in psychoanalytic theory, feminist theory, queer theory,
literary criticism, social linguistics, conversational analysis,
philosophy of mind, etc. that engage and interrogate Freud or Lacan
are all welcomed.
The conference will feature both invited and submitted papers and
presentations. We welcome submissions from psychoanalysts and
psychoanalytic scholars, from scholars and graduate students in
humanities and social scientists, as well as from scholars in allied
disciplines. We ask that authors submit a one-page abstract as email
attachment (MS Word Format) to
SocialTheoryAbstracts@libraryofsocialscience.com no later than
February 9, 2010. Upon selection and notification of approval by the
organizing committee, submitters must send completed presentation
paper manuscripts (around 12-15 pages, preferably double-spaced in
Times 12 typeface) by March 15, 2010. We are in the process of
securing a publishing venue for selected papers. As in prior years,
the papers will be peer-reviewed by anonymous referees for possible
publication. Details will be announced before the conference.
About the Social Theory Forum
Department of Sociology
University of Massachusetts Boston
The Social Theory Forum (STF) is an annual conference organized
jointly by the sociology, other departments, institutions, interested
faculty and students at University of Massachusetts Boston in order to
creatively explore, develop, promote, and publish cross-disciplinary
social theory in a critical framework. STF offers faculty and students
of UMass Boston and other area colleges and universities an
interactive medium to discuss various aspects of the way in which
particular theoretical traditions can be relevant to present everyday
issues, as well as to the current state and the future of social theory.
STF?s goals are:
* To critically engage with and evaluate classical and contemporary
social theories in a cross-disciplinary and comparative cross-cultural
framework in order to develop new integrative theoretical structures
and practices;
* To foster individual and collective self-reflexivity in exploring
social theories in global and world-historical contexts to aid people
effectively address social problems;
* To foster an interactive and dialogical learning experience and
research in theory within and across faculty, students, and community
divides on and off campus; and
* To foster exchange of ideas open to constructive and integrative
exploration of diverse and conflicting viewpoints, modes of thinking,
and world-views.

Call For Papers, Marxism and Psychology Conference, University of Prince Edward Island
***Apologies for Cross-Posting***
I am happy to report that asof today, we have received close to 60
abstract submissions for theconference. I must say that I am really
impressed by the quality of thesubmissions. It looks like we are on
our way to becoming a majorconference. In order to encourage more
submissions for the conference,we have decided to extend the deadline
to February 1, 2010. Please findbelow the extended call (including
plenary bios). Please distribute thiscall as widely as possible.
Call For Papers (Extended Deadline)
Marxism and Psychology Conference
The University of Prince Edward Island

Submission Deadline: February 1, 2010 (Extended Deadline)
Inthe history of social thought, it is difficult to find a more
divisivefigure than Karl Marx. For many, the mere mention of his name
conjuresup images of totalitarian regimes dominating nearly every
aspect of anindividual?s existence. Yet for others, Marx?s critique of
thecapitalist mode of production draws attention to the fact that
ourbeliefs, thoughts, and desires inevitably emerge against the
backgroundof specific cultural, historical, and social practices.
Thepurposeof this conference is to bring students, scholars, and
activiststogether to discuss exciting issues at the intersection of
Marxism andPsychology. While it is clear that a number of
organizations are makingimportant contributions to this area of study,
we believe that the timeis right to open up a space for students,
scholars, and activistsfrom a variety of disciplinary backgrounds to
reflect on the role thatMarxism can play in psychological theory,
research, and practice.
Inbringing together scholars at the forefront of research in Marxism
andPsychology, we also hope to give new students and activists
anopportunity to interact with individuals who have made
significantcontributions within this area. By organizing an impressive
collectionof plenary participants, we hope to foster an environment
wherestudents, activists, and scholars can identify potential
graduateadvisors, research assistants, and participatory
investigators. Thisyear, confirmed plenary participants include:
Kum-Kum Bhavnaniis Professor of Sociology, Women's Studies and Global
Studies at theUniversity of California at Santa Barbara, where she
also chairs theminor in Women, Culture,Development. Her Undergraduate

PhD (King'sCollege, Cambridge) is in Social and Political Sciences.
For the past25 years, Kum-Kum has built on her passion for
critical/Marxistpsychology and ethnography, and presently works in
cultural studies,women's studies, and Third World Development Studies.

Morten Nissenis Senior Lecturer /Associate Professor at the Department
ofPsychology, University of Copenhagen,in community and
educationalpsychology. His research is about forms of collectivity in
connectionwith praca participatory relationship (I and we) that is
constituted anddevelops in various kinds of production - meaning both
creation andstaging. Empirically, the field is social work with young
people usingdrugs and/or other kinds of crisis or problems. This is
connected withmethodological reflections on practice research viewed
as the socialproduction of prototypes in which psychology and other
disciplinesparticipate. This approach is developed from the
cultural-historicaltradition?s continuation as critical psychology,
inspired by muchsocial theory that takes up the Hegelian-(or
anti-Hegelian)-Marxistlegacy of an epistemology of practice. Morten
takes this to be apoliticizing and trans-disciplinary approach to
issues that peopledefine as psychological. Morten is editor of the
open access journalOutlines ? Critical Practice Studies and member of

Dr. James Der Derian: The Culture, Technology, and Ethics of Virtuous War, Thursday 21st January 2010, 7 - 9pm, Marriott Eaton Centre

7-9pm

Marriott Hotel Eaton Centre
525 Bay Street
Toronto
(Free Admission)
Questions of war and peace are now framed by technological, cultural, and
ethical imperatives. From the Gulf War to the Iraq War, the United States
perfected new technologies, under the auspices of a ?revolution in
military affairs?, to fight virtuous wars. Technology in the service of
virtue gave rise to a new configuration of virtual power, the
military-industrial-media-entertainment network. After winning the short
battle of
?shock and awe? in Iraq but losing the long war to bring democracy and
peace to the Middle East, the U.S. military began a controversial program
to ?operationalize? culture as an instrument of counterinsurgency and
counterterrorism; anthropologists, political scientists and
anthropologists are enlisted in the effort. As war goes virtual and
cultural in the name of justice, unintended and tragic consequences
result.
Dr. James Der Derian is Research Professor of International Studies at
Brown University, where he directs the Innovating Global Security and
Media Project at the Watson Institute for International Studies. His
recent publications include, Virtuous War: Mapping the
Military-Industrial-Media-Entertainment Network, New York (Routledge,
2009); Critical Practices in International Theory (Routledge, 2009), and
AntiDiplomacy: Spies, Terror, Speed, & War (Blackwell, 1992). He is also
the producer of three documentary films, VirtualY2K (2000), After 9/11
(2003) and Human Terrain (2009).

REMINDER: Arms Control, International Security and the Atlantic Alliance in the 21st Century : Ted Whiteside Friday 22 January 2010 5.30-6.30pm
Arms Control, International Security and the Atlantic Alliance in the 21st
Century
Century
Speaker: Mr Ted Whiteside, Secretary of the North Atlantic Council, and
Director of the NATO Ministerial and Summit Task Force in Brussels
The theory and practice of Arms Control was one of the central pillars of
the global security apparatus in the second half of the Twentieth Century.
Since the end of the Cold War, policymakers at the international and
national level involved with Arms Control issues have faced the challenges
of adapting to a multi-polar international stage and the emergence of new
patterns of proliferation and weapons development both at the strategic
level, in terms of nuclear weapons, and the tactical level of small arms.
This discussion will examine the response from policy-makers, both
civilian and military, to the new realities of Arms Control and examine
these issues in the context of the broader international security
environment facing the countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO).
There will be an opportunity for the audience to exchange views and ask
questions of the speaker, both in terms of Arms Control issues and NATO?s
response to the challenges of weapons proliferation and other NATO issues.
Ted Whiteside, a graduate of York University and the Université de
Montréal, is currently Secretary of the North Atlantic Council, and
Director of the NATO Ministerial and Summit Task Force in Brussels. Before
taking up his current duties as Secretary of the Council, he was Director
of the NATO WMD Centre.

Ottawa (Ontario), le 18 décembre 2009 – Le Groupe consultatif interagences en
éthique de la recherche (GER) annonce la publication de la version révisée de
la proposition de 2e édition de l'Énoncé de politique des trois Conseils :
Éthique de la recherche avec des êtres humains (EPTC) pour permettre au public
de soumettre des commentaires supplémentaires.
http://www.ger.ethique.gc.ca/fra/resources-ressources/news-nouvelles/nr-cp/2009-12-18/
Le texte intégral de la version révisée de la proposition de 2e édition de
l'EPTC est disponible maintenant.
En décembre 2008, le GER a proposé une profonde révision de la 1e édition de
l'EPTC (de 1998), faisant suite à son mandat de veiller à ce que la Politique
soit un document vivant et évolutif. Entre décembre 2008 et juin 2009,
le GER a
reçu de nombreux commentaires verbaux et écrits sur le projet. Les membres du
GER ont assisté à 58 rencontres dans 17 villes; quelque 1800 personnes y ont
participé. Le milieu de la recherche a présenté plus de 1000 pages de
commentaires. Le GER a examiné tous ces commentaires et en ont largement tenu
compte dans cette proposition révisée.
Le GER prévoit maintenant une deuxième période permettant au public de
présenter
des commentaires sur l'EPTC avant qu'il ne soit soumis, au printemps 2010, aux
trois organismes fédéraux : Instituts de recherche en santé du Canada (IRSC),
Conseil de recherches en sciences naturelles et en génie du Canada (CRSNG) et
Conseil de recherches en sciences humaines du Canada (CRSH).
La version révisée du chapitre 9, « La recherche avec les peuples
autochtones au
Canada », a été diffusé en novembre 2009 avant le reste de la Politique en
raison des importants changements qui y ont été apportés et en réponse aux
demandes formulées par de nombreux intervenants et groupes de la communauté
autochtone et de l'ensemble du milieu de la recherche. Certains changements
supplémentaires ont été apportés au chapitre 9 depuis novembre 2009.

Call for Papers for proposed CASCA Panel:
Geographies of Difference: Spaces of Inclusion and Exclusion and
Im/migrant Human Rights
In response to CASCA's theme, New Spaces and New Networks, this panel
will consider the importance of geographic spaces as they relate to
the re-location or dis-location of minority ethnic and religious
im/migrant groups within the framework of human rights. In what kinds
of ways do governments, employers, or communities create 'Other'
spaces for minority groups, and what kinds of consequences do such
spaces have for the realization of their rights? How do elements of
geographic inclusion or exclusion impact im/migrants' abilities to
exercise rights? What contradictory effects might be experienced as a
result
of differential patterns of spacialization? For example, do bounded
spaces offer protection and a sense of belonging to minority groups,
or hinder the advancement of their full social inclusion and the
realization of their rights? The panel organizers are seeking papers
which engage these and related questions in relation to im/migrant and
minority groups in diverse geographic, social and political contexts.
Please submit proposed abstracts (150 words), including name,
departmental positions and affiliations, to Melanie Adrian at
<adrian@fas.harvard.edu> by January 18th at 5pm.
Successful applicants will be notified by January 19th at 5pm, in time
for submission to CASCA on January 20th.

Call for Papers: UBC Anthropology Graduate Student Conference
*Call for Paper Proposals* *(Proposal Deadline: February 7, 2010)*
The Department of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia,
Vancouver, BC invites submissions for a one-day Graduate Student Conference
to be held on* March 20, 2010*, on the topic of:
*Critical Engagement: Ethics, Practice, and Politics
*
Academic engagement in the political sense of the term is ambiguous. While
often concerned with issues of social justice and problematic policies,
research by social scientists often tends to be read only by other social
scientists. This raises the question of how academic research actually
'helps' the communities, organizations, and individuals studied. Is
knowledge for knowledge's sake truly beneficial? And if so, how can the
in-depth perspective we pride ourselves on be made relevant to the wider
society?
The meaning of engagement has itself changed over time, and engagement
becomes increasingly entangled as we recognize the ethical dilemmas of
academic research itself. This academic year, the department of
Anthropology at UBC is celebrating its 60th anniversary. This occasion is an
opportunity for reflection on our role both within the university and
outside. Join us in a reassessment of the virtues and possibilities of
academic knowledge and its creation. Abstracts are invited from all
disciplines, from a wide range of topics and geographic areas.
We seek papers from graduate students advanced undergraduate students IN ANY
DISCIPLINE, and posters from all graduate students, which explore these
topics. Senior scholars from across the discipline will comment upon the
papers and convene discussions. *The deadline for submissions is February
7th, 2010*. Please email an abstract of up to 250 words, along with your
name and (institutional) affiliation to: anthconfubc@gmail.com
The conference website is:

Dr. James Der Derian: The Culture, Technology, and Ethics of Virtuous War, Thursday 21st January 2010, 7 - 9pm, Marriott Eaton Centre
The Contemporary Dilemmas in Canadian Security Lecture Series:
The Culture, Technology, and Ethics of Virtuous War
Dr. James Der Derian
Thursday 21st January 2010
7-9pm
Theatre Room
Marriott Hotel Eaton Centre
525 Bay Street
Toronto
(Free Admission)
Questions of war and peace are now framed by technological, cultural, and
ethical imperatives. From the Gulf War to the Iraq War, the United States
perfected new technologies, under the auspices of a ?revolution in
military affairs?, to fight virtuous wars. Technology in the service of
virtue gave rise to a new configuration of virtual power, the
military-industrial-media-entertainment network. After winning the short
battle of
?shock and awe? in Iraq but losing the long war to bring democracy and
peace to the Middle East, the U.S. military began a controversial program
to ?operationalize? culture as an instrument of counterinsurgency and
counterterrorism; anthropologists, political scientists and
anthropologists are enlisted in the effort. As war goes virtual and
cultural in the name of justice, unintended and tragic consequences
result.
Dr. James Der Derian is Research Professor of International Studies at
Brown University, where he directs the Innovating Global Security and
Media Project at the Watson Institute for International Studies. His
recent publications include, Virtuous War: Mapping the
Military-Industrial-Media-Entertainment Network, New York (Routledge,
2009); Critical Practices in International Theory (Routledge, 2009), and
AntiDiplomacy: Spies, Terror, Speed, & War (Blackwell, 1992). He is also
the producer of three documentary films, VirtualY2K (2000), After 9/11
(2003) and Human Terrain (2009).

This year's conference in April 7th & 8th of 2010 at the University of
Massachusetts Boston will explore the relationship between psychoanalysis
and critical social theory. From its very beginning Sigmund Freud's
psychoanalysis has walked the border as a kind of fugitive discipline in
academia yet one multifarious in its influence on the mainstream. Surely the
welter of hostile and critical responses accompanying its trajectory in the
history of ideas bears a kind of testimony to its rich intellectual
underpinning. In sociology it has had a creative influence on critical
theorists such as Herbert Marcuse, Eric Fromm, and others of the Frankfurt
School, and now has engaged feminist theorists, post-structuralists and
other sociologists interested in the way in which unconscious processes
figure in the construction of hierarchical social relations.
Jacque Lacan's French reading of Freud comes particularly close to the
sociological imagination. His theory of the symbolic order and the
linguistic precursors of the unconscious have added additional dimensions to
the discourse of social theory. His notion of the decentered and alienated
self rooted in the intellectual culture of Emile Durkheim, Ferdinand de
Saussure, Claude Lévi-Strauss and Michel Foucault find its corollaries in
the writings of sociologists and philosophers such as George Herbert Mead,
Charles Horton Cooley, and Erving Goffman. This year's Social Theory Forum
provides an opportunity for a re-examination and discussion of these fertile
intellectual domains for a new cross-disciplinary pursuit of scholarship in
social theory. The conference organizers seek papers that employ rigorous
analyses and interpretations of the past and present of these intellectual
engagements that form the foundation of modern social theory.
Papers in feminist theory, queer theory, literary criticism, social
linguistics, conversational analysis, philosophy of mind, etc. that engage
and interrogate Freud or Lacan are all welcomed.
The conference will feature both invited and submitted papers and
presentations. We welcome submissions from scholars and graduate students in
humanities and social sciences and as well as from writers in allied
disciplines. We ask that authors submit a one-page abstract as email
attachment (MS Word Format) to
SocialTheoryAbstracts@libraryofsocialscience.com no later than February 9,
2010. Upon selection and notification of approval by the organizing
committee, submitters must send completed presentation paper manuscripts
(around 12-15 pages, preferably double-spaced in Times 12 typeface) by March
15, 2010. We are in the process of securing a publishing venue for selected
papers. As in prior years, the papers will be peer-reviewed by anonymous
referees for possible publication. Details will be announced before the
conference.
