The Qualities of Palestinian Olive Oil
Anne Meneley, Trent University
Wednesday, 31 October, 3-5pm, Centre for Ethnography, UTSC.
In this paper I focus on a particular case: olive oil in 20th century
Palestine. I discuss how the semiotic metadiscourses regarding olive oil are
particularly politically charged in contemporary Palestine. A shared
Mediterranean valuing of olive oil for ritual, curing, beautification, and
nurture was effectively torn asunder with the establishment of the state of
Israel in1948, when separation of the "Peoples of the Book" (of the
monotheistic tradition) and the question of who "owns" olive oil came to the
forefront as much as it did for who "owns" the land. A semiotic "flattening"
is the current emphasis on the importance of the production of olive oil as
staking a claim to the land that Palestinians already own, but which is
under continual threat of confiscation. This has meant a dramatic
transformation in the qualisigns highlighted in contemporary Palestinian
olive oil: to be saleable abroad, olive oil must be determined to be
"extra-virgin", a quality that makes no reference to the spiritual world,
but rather to an internationally recognized domain of connoisseurship.

CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS -- CATR (Canadian Association for Theatre Research) CURATED PANEL - University of Victoria, 2013
CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS -- CATR (Canadian Association for Theatre
Research) CURATED PANEL - University of Victoria, 2013

*Panel Title:*/Performance and Auto/ethnography: Interdisciplinary
Conservations
/*Organizers:* Magdalena Kazubowski-Houston (York University) and Dara
Culhane (Simon Fraser University)
In the last two decades, auto/ethnography has become an important way
of doing ethnographic research. Auto/ethnographers draw on
auto/biography -- a self-authored account of a person's life -- as a
way of thinking about everyday life and human experience. Although a
wide range of representational strategies has been employed in
auto/ethnographic work, performance, broadly understood, has become
one of its principal means of expression. Auto/ethnographers perform
their own experiences to extend understandings of culture, politics
and power. However, while debates about auto/ethnographic research
have been ongoing internationally, there have been few opportunities
for auto/ethnographers from interdisciplinary backgrounds to engage in
conversations about their work.
The goal of this panel is to better understand and articulate the
auto/ethnographic work that is currently being done by scholars both
within a Canadian context and abroad. We seek papers that engage with
questions of theoretical and methodological underpinnings of
auto/ethnographic research.
Possible topics may include, but are not limited to:
·Theoretical and methodological advantages and disadvantages of
performative auto/ethnographic research
·Poetics and politics of performative auto/ethnographic work
·Performative auto/ethnographic work as cultural critique and/or
activist praxis
·Canadian performative auto/ethnography and American, British and
European counterparts
·Future trajectories of performative auto/ethnographic work
·Performative auto/ethnography in marginalized communities
·Relationship between ethnographer, research participants and
audiences in performative auto/ethnographic research
·Contributions of performative auto/ethnography to performance studies
research
Individual presentations should not exceed 15 minutes. The panel will
involve paper presentations and moderated discussions between fellow
presenters and conference participants.
Interested scholars should submit an abstract (no more than 250 words)
and a brief biography to Magdalena Kazubowski-Houston
mkazubow@yorku.ca <mailto:mkazubow@yorku.ca>by December 15, 2012.
Invitations to participate will be emailed in early January 2013.

2012 Lewis Henry Morgan Lecture - University of Rochester - November 7th
2012 Lewis Henry Morgan Lecture - University of Rochester
The Department of Anthropology at the University of Rochester is
sponsoring
The 2012 Lewis Henry Morgan Lecture on Wednesday, November 7th at 7PM by
Professor Janet Carsten of the University of Edinburgh. The lecture will
be
titled: "The Social Life of Blood: Transfers and Flows in Malaysia."
This year’s lecture traces the ‘social life of blood’ as it passes
from the
bodies of donors and patients into clinical pathology labs for analysis or
screening. What kind of object is blood? How is it transformed from one
kind
of substance into another? What is the source of its extraordinary range and
plasticity of meanings? And what can the anthropological analysis of its
symbolic power tell us about the nature of symbolism or about domaining
practices in contemporary life? At once bodily substance, biomedical
resource, diagnostic tool, as well as an unusually potent metaphor with a
heightened propensity to flow between different social domains, blood is a
paradoxical kind of object. The central thesis is that the remarkably
plural
meanings of blood in a given cultural and historical location reveal
previously unexplored properties of kinship, politics, ethnicity,
medicine,
science, and wider sociality. The argument is demonstrated through a
detailed ethnography of a specific nexus of sites in Malaysia, centering
on
hospital blood banks and clinical pathology labs in Penang in which blood is
collected and analyzed, and blood donation sites where blood is donated and
categorized.

CFHSS/FCSH: Communiqu=?iso-8859-1?Q?=E9:?= October 2012
A message from the president
of the Federation
A little over a year ago, the Federation for the Humanities and Social
Sciences
(the Federation) adopted an ambitious new strategic framework designed
to increase
our reach, relevance and relationships so as to better promote and
uphold the interests
of the humanities and social sciences community in Canada. The Board of
Directors,
and indeed the membership more broadly, latched on to the idea that we
would be
well served by a renewed public image that would captivate people's
attention and
excite them about the work of the many students and researchers across
Canada.
Our research, interviews, debates, focus groups and strategy sessions
showed that
while we didn't want to lose sight of who we are at our core -- 85,000
from across
disciplines, institutions and associations -- we wanted to also draw
attention to
the aspirational aspect of what we do. Hence, we welcome you to engage
with the
Federation in new and innovative ways as we move forward and discover
together the
many ways that Ideas can...

of the Federation
A little over a year ago, the Federation for the Humanities and Social
Sciences
(the Federation) adopted an ambitious new strategic framework designed
to increase
our reach, relevance and relationships so as to better promote and
uphold the interests
of the humanities and social sciences community in Canada. The Board of
Directors,
and indeed the membership more broadly, latched on to the idea that we
would be
well served by a renewed public image that would captivate people's
attention and
excite them about the work of the many students and researchers across
Canada.
Our research, interviews, debates, focus groups and strategy sessions
showed that
while we didn't want to lose sight of who we are at our core -- 85,000
from across
disciplines, institutions and associations -- we wanted to also draw
attention to
the aspirational aspect of what we do. Hence, we welcome you to engage
with the
Federation in new and innovative ways as we move forward and discover
together the
many ways that Ideas can...

CFP - Body Modification
Call for papers: Body Modification and the Female Body
Deadline: 10th December 2012
An interdisciplinary one day conference 9th March 2013, University of York
Body modification is a controversial topic within feminism. The debate
centres on
issues of agency, pleasure, oppression, and false consciousness, and often
pitches
different understandings of women, and 'second' and 'third' waves of
feminism, in
opposition. Our definition of body modification is broad, from shaved legs to
buttock implants; from the honed 'fit' body to 'fat-reducing' surgery; from
self-tanning to pro-ana; from piercings to gender reassignment, and much
more.
This conference seeks to create a space where differences of perspective, of
cultural understanding and of theoretical viewpoint can be tackled through
debating
issues of body modification. Our aim is to expand understandings of
various forms of
body modification as well as develop feminist understandings across multiple
disciplines. We hope to attract speakers a wide range of disciplines
including but
not limited to Social Sciences, Women and Gender Studies, History, Medicine,
English, Art and Philosophy.
We welcome abstracts for 20 minute papers, and also encourage people to
submit ideas
for relevant performances or art work.
Areas for discussion are listed below, but we encourage any topic within
the theme
of the conference:Aesthetics, idealism and body modification; Agency,
ownership and
oppression; Embodied experiences; Body image; Body as object; Gendered
experience;
Discourses of modification; Mind/body duality and the individual;
Medicalisation;
Popular feminism and popular culture; Commercialism; Individualism and
neo-liberalism; Sexuality; Femininity and masculinity; The racialised
body; Eating
disorders; Fatness/thinness; Technology; Transgender; The aging body.
Please send abstracts of 250-300 words to bodyprojectsconf@gmail.com by
the 10th
December 2012.
Those who have submitted abstracts will be notified of acceptance by the
1st January 2013.

Anthropological Field Research Opportunity
October 2012
From Susan L. Erikson, PhD
Faculty of Health Sciences
Simon Fraser University
I will be recruiting two MSc
students to work on a
research project in Sierra Leone
during Spring semester 2014. Preference
will be given to students with
previous degrees and/or theoretical and methodological
training in anthropology. To
receive the funding, students will need to
be accepted and enrolled in the MSc/PhD program in the Faculty
of Health
Sciences at Simon Fraser University,
near Vancouver,
British Columbia, Canada.
As part of a grant from the
Social Science and Humanities
Research Council of Canada, I have funds to support fieldwork
(travel and per
diem) in Sierra Leone Spring 2014.
Students will be part of a small team of researchers
collecting data on
how and to where health statistics "travel" for use in other
social
domains. Statistics
are the subject of
inquiry; the fieldwork stage does not include complex
statistical
generation. Students
would live in Sierra Leone
for 2-3 months as observant participants, attending sites of
statistical use
and exchange, and interviewing many different types of people
about the ends to
which statistical enumerators are put.
Students would need to be willing to learn to basic
proficiency the
lingua franca of Sierra Leone,
Krio, and able to overcome scarcity
and limited technological connectivity in the field in
creative and resourceful
ways. The most
competitive students for
this opportunity will be undergraduate anthropology majors
with some previous
field experience.
The Faculty of Health Sciences
at Simon
Fraser University offers
MSc and
PhD degrees with a high degree of coursework flexibility.
Admissions
are
on a rolling basis, but in order to be eligible for funds to
support student
life in Vancouver,
you need to apply to the MSc/PhD programs by February 1, 2013.
You would
need to begin
your program by May
2013 (Summer Semester) or September 2013 (Fall Semester).
If you are interested in
applying for the funds available
for the Sierra Leone
fieldwork, send me (slerikson@sfu.ca)
a CV, transcript, and 2-page statement detailing your
theoretical orientation,
methodological education, and previous experience by January
1, 2013. If selected,
I will sign on as your
supervisor, and then you will need to apply to the MSc or PhD
program following
the usual Faculty of Health Sciences
admissions
processes. Admission
is not
guaranteed, though it is likely when you apply with a
pre-arranged faculty
supervisor, some funding, and if you meet the baseline
eligibility
requirements. Serious
inquiries
only. If you are not
interested in using
anthropological theory and method in your graduate degree
work, please do not
apply.

Monday, October 22, 2012
12—1:30pm
Room 2-227, 252 Bloor St. W.
Free, bring your lunch
cwse@utoronto.ca for information
This presentation explores the discourses deployed in New Zealand by
Plunket nurses (who provide care to women and babies in the community) to
frame their understandings of migrant mothers. This research shows how
Plunket nurses draw on liberal feminist discourses, which have
emancipatory aims but reflect assimilatory practices, paradoxically
disempowering women who do not subscribe to ideals of individual autonomy.
Feminist critiques of patriarchy in maternity must be supplemented by a
critique of the implicitly western subject of maternity to make
empowerment a possibility for all mothers.
Dr. Ruth DeSouza is a Senior Lecturer at AUT University in Auckland, New
Zealand. Ruth has worked as a nurse (in mental health, postnatal settings
and maternal mental health), educator, and researcher and is currently
completing a book on migrant maternity. She is passionately interested in
the concept of cultural safety in health.

of the diversity of research being conducted on local health and human
rights issues and challenges. The
conference will be held on October 26th-27th, 2012 at Queen's University
in Kingston, Ontario. This twoday

Taking your vision to action: advocating for human rights
Dr. Samantha Nutt (Founder and Executive Director, War Child Canada/USA)
Health and Human Rights in Northern Communities: the Attawapiskat Housing
Crisis
Charlie Angus (Member of Parliament, Timmins – James Bay)
End-of-life rights debate: Should medically-assisted suicide be legalized
in Canada?
Wanda Morris (Executive Director, Dying with Dignity), Hugh Scher

Call for Abstracts
This is an annual student-run conference that provides a forum for
speakers and students from various
disciplines to come together and discuss issues that are currently
relevant to health care and human rights. This

various fields, which conduct research that pertains to health in a local,
Canadian setting. We anticipate
submissions of research conducted in a range of diverse fields, including
but not limited to Public Health,
Medicine, Epidemiology, Biomedical Sciences, Social Sciences, Engineering,

years we have experienced these presentations adding an academic platform
from which to represent a sampling
of the diversity of research being conducted on local health and human
rights issues and challenges. The
conference will be held on October 26th-27th, 2012 at Queen's University
in Kingston, Ontario. This twoday
conference includes topics and speakers such as:
Taking your vision to action: advocating for human rights
Dr. Samantha Nutt (Founder and Executive Director, War Child Canada/USA)
Health and Human Rights in Northern Communities: the Attawapiskat Housing
Crisis
Charlie Angus (Member of Parliament, Timmins – James Bay)
End-of-life rights debate: Should medically-assisted suicide be legalized
in Canada?
Wanda Morris (Executive Director, Dying with Dignity), Hugh Scher
(Founder, Scher Law Professional
Corporation; Legal Counsel, Euthanasia Prevention Coalition)
We are inviting all primary investigators, graduate students, postdoctoral
fellows, research project students,
medical students, and clinical residents to present their relevant
findings at our poster presentation session.
Individuals interested in presenting should submit their abstract(s)

Title of Abstract
Initiative for Women in Business at Rotman Leadership Experts Speaker Series: Karen Ho Speaks at Rotman Oct. 18
As announced in last week's Newsletter, Anthropologist Karen Ho will be
discussing her book "Liquidated: ethnography of wall street" Oct. 18 as part
of the Initiative for Women in Business at Rotman Leadership Experts Speaker
Series. Please see below, an invitation and further details on this event.
Invitation: Prof. Karen Ho discusses her book, Liquidated: ethnography of
wall street, Thurs Oct 18
5:00 sharp to 6:00pm presentation and Q&A; 6:00 to 7:00pm networking and
cocktail reception Thursday October 18, 2012 – CIBC Room (3rd floor, north
wing) Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto, 105 St. George
Street, Toronto (ON)
You and your guests are invited to register for this next session in our
ongoing Initiative for Women in Business @ Rotman Leadership Experts
Speaker Series.
Registration check-in will open at 4:30pm. At 5:00pm sharp we will
introduce our guest speaker, Karen Ho, Associate Professor of
Anthropology, University of Minnesota. For about 40 minutes, Professor Ho
will lead a discussion titled "Liquidated: An Ethnography of Wall Street,"
based on her book.
SYNOPSIS: A former Wall Street Analyst herself, Prof. Ho delves into the
everyday experiences and ideologies of Wall Street investment bankers. Her
ethnographic analysis of those workplaces is filled with the voices of
stressed first-year associates, overworked and alienated analysts,
undergraduates eager to be hired, and seasoned managing directors.
Investment bankers are socialized into a world of "high risk and high
reward". They are paid handsomely, with the understanding that they may be
let go at any time. Their workplace culture and networks of privilege
create the perception that job insecurity builds character, and employee
liquidity results in smart, efficient business. Based on this culture of
liquidity and compensation practices tied to profligate deal-making, Wall
Street investment bankers reshape corporate America in their own image.
Their mission is the creation of shareholder value, but Prof. Ho
demonstrates that their practices and assumptions often produce crises
instead. By connecting the values and actions of investment bankers to the
construction of markets and the restructuring of U.S. corporations,
Liquidated reveals the particular culture of Wall Street often obscured by
triumphalist readings of capitalist globalization.
If time permits, audience Q&A will follow. The session will adjourn no
later than 6:00pm. Networking and cocktail reception will follow until
7:00pm.
TO ATTEND: The registration fee is $49 plus HST person; $39.00 plus HST
per person for Rotman or UToronto alumni (fees include a seat at the
session and 1 copy of Liquidated)
Pre-registration is mandatory please sign up here or visit

educators who are interested in participating in an ongoing action
research group that will focus on issues of gender diversity and equity in
Quebec schools. The focus will be on working to create safer and more
inclusive spaces for transgender and 'gender creative' kids in schools
however, the actual direction and activities of the group will be
determined by the educators who attend. Please see the attached flyers for
more details and please share with any relevant contacts. We are seeking
educators who are currently working in any context that connects with
students in K-11 schools (however CEGEP educators are also most welcome):
classroom teachers, counselors, administrators, workshop facilitators,
community education groups, etc. The flyers are in both French and English
as the group will function in a bilingual format.
Thank you for helping us get the word out about this project. Please let
me know if you have any questions. I hope you all are well.

Dear Graduate Students:
I'm pleased to announce the Society for Cultural Anthropology's 2012
Faculty-Student Workshop luncheons at the AAA meetings this November in San
Francisco.
Following upon the success we enjoyed at last year's annual meeting, the
Society for Cultural Anthropology will again be sponsoring four
faculty-student workshop luncheons at this year's meeting. The workshops are
intended to provide an informal setting where students can discuss their
work with faculty members and fellow graduate students from other
universities. They are:
Entangled Finance
Facilitator: Karen Ho (University of Minnesota)
Ethnography of Science and Problematics of Human Difference
Facilitators: Duana Fullwiley (Stanford) and Michael Montoya (UC Irvine)
Dilemmas of Studying Charitable, Humanitarian, Human Rights, and
Development Organizations in Insecure States
Facilitator: Erica Caple James (MIT)
Anthropology/History
Facilitators: John Collins (CUNY) and Carole McGranahan (University of
Colorado)
Further description of each workshop theme can be found at the end of this
e-mail, and at
http://sca.culanth.org/meetings/aaa/roundtables/roundtables2012.html
The luncheon workshops will be limited to five students each, and they will
take at a restaurant near the conference hotel. The workshops are free to
all participants and open to SCA student members enrolled in Ph.D. programs.
Lunch is provided. All workshops run from 12:15 to 1:30 to match the AAA's
programmed lunch sessions.
To join one of these workshops, students are asked to submit by October 18,
2012 a 250 to 300 word description about your research project. You are
encouraged to include within the description specific questions for the
workshop leader(s) and for the group as a whole to consider. Descriptions
will be shared with fellow workshop participants in advance of the meeting.
Please send your request to me at scaworkshops2012@gmail.com, Include your
name, your university affiliation, the workshop you want to attend, and your
one-page description. Please bear in mind that project descriptions longer
than one page will not be considered.
Applications will be accepted on a first-come first-serve basis, noting
that: 1. the project descriptions are closely suited to the workshop
themes; 2. students and workshop leaders are from different institutions;
and 3. you are a member of the SCA. If you are not yet a member of the SCA,
but would like to join at the modest student rate of $12.50 a year, which
includes a full print subscription to the journal, Cultural Anthropology,
you can do so easily on our website: http://sca.culanth.org/join/join.htm
Formal notice of participation will be sent out October 25, 2012.
Let me know if you have questions.

Workshop Descriptions
Entangled Finance
Facilitator: Karen Ho (University of Minnesota)
http://anthropology.umn.edu/people/facultyprofile.php?UID=karenho
What kinds of projects, questions, and concerns might be the most
generative for the "next generation" of interdisciplinary, social scientific
scholars of finance to pursue? What are some of the contributions, lessons,
and/or pitfalls of current iterations of "the anthropology of finance"?
Specifically, in the face of dominant financialization and the continual
re-making of the contours of that financialization, where lives are
continually entangled with finance, are older theoretical assumptions such
as the disconnect between finance and production, the abstract and the real,
still very useful? How can we (or do we need to) re-frame the core binaries
and frameworks through which we set up our methodological and theoretical
approaches to finance in the first place? Are there particular ways in which
finance is being imagined in anthropology that have prevented novel
collaborations and rethinking of taken-for-granted socio-economic categories
and groups?
Ethnography of Science and Problematics of Human Difference
Facilitators: Duana Fullwiley (Stanford) and Michael Montoya (UC Irvine)
https://www.stanford.edu/dept/anthropology/cgi-bin/web/?q=node/1079
http://www.anthropology.uci.edu/anthr_bios/mmontoya
Many provocative lines of inquiry in the life sciences are reanimating
notions that anthropologists largely see as culturally and politically
constructed divisions of human social and biological life. Race, sex,
gender, disease tendencies, psychological capacity, and pharmaceutical
susceptibility are increasingly reiterated through high-tech science, often
in reductive ways. In this workshop we will examine these and other objects
of study within cultures of science. Specifically, we will ask students to
think about how global politics, market trends, and cultural politics of
belonging and inclusion play into the naturalization of difference today.
In discussing the importance of conducting ethnographies of science, we will
also engage problems of knowledge more broadly. Beyond simply glossing how
human difference is socially constructed within science, we hope to push
further and encourage students to begin to describe the material,
physiological, and biological effects of how global disparities are
evidenced in their field sites. What are the processes through which such
disparities become attributed to specific bodies and populations? What
scientific grammars and cultural politics merge to make such knowledge
possible?
Dilemmas of Studying Charitable, Humanitarian, Human Rights, and
Development Organizations in Insecure States
Facilitator: Erica Caple James (MIT)
http://web.mit.edu/anthropology/people/faculty/james.html
Recent literature in anthropology has begun to focus intensively on the
historical and contemporary roles that governmental, nongovernmental, and
other institutional actors have played in managing and governing "life,"
while also delivering compassionate "care." Whether in studies of charity,
humanitarian relief, development, or other kinds of aid, contemporary
relationships based on gift-giving and exchanges of knowledge, practices,
technologies, therapies, and other discursive "objects," remain central
theoretical paradigms that are "good to think." This workshop is designed to
build an ongoing conversation to support anthropologists working on issues
of violence and trauma, human and civil rights, and organized
humanitarianism ("faith-based," "secular," etc.) in (post)conflict,
(post)disaster, and other "transitional" settings. The workshop welcomes
participants grappling with the moral and ethical dimensions of "activist
anthropology" and the methodological challenges of studying organizations,
as well as ethnographers engaged in clinical or therapeutic settings.
Anthropology/History
Facilitators: John Collins (CUNY) and Carole McGranahan (University of
Colorado)
http://www.colorado.edu/Anthropology/people/bios/mcgranahan.html
http://qcpages.qc.cuny.edu/anthro/collins/collins.html
What does it mean to put together anthropology and history, and why should
they be put together? How might ethnographers do so in ways that are
conceptually, methodologically, and theoretically sophisticated? That is,
how does one undertake historically "thick" scholarship as an
anthropologist? In this workshop, we consider history as a
culturally-specific epistemology, an academic discipline, and a social
ontology, arguing that sophisticated approaches to these domains and their
overlaps is critical to productive engagement with a variety of pasts,
presents, and futures. Such work may take a wide range of forms, from
examining different temporal ways of knowing, the production of history, the
politics of memory, lived experiences in earlier periods, the constitution
of historical subjectivities, and concerns with histories of the present.
What does it mean, for example, to do ethnography in the archives or
historical research in the field? What is the difference between oral and
ethnographic history? How might anthropologists move between scales-from
life histories to those of communities ranging from villages through states
and global institutions-in ways that remain committed to an ethnographic
sensibility? In a nutshell, then, how might anthropologists' long-term
concerns with institutions and the cultural bases of knowledge and truth be
integrated more effectively into an exploration of historical consciousness
in the world today?
The deadline for the SCA's Faculty-Student Workshops at the AAA is
approaching and only a few spots are left. Please share with
interested colleagues and students. Lunch is provided!
