CFP Midterm Conference of the Europeanist Network of the European Association of Social Anthropologists

Dear colleagues,

Please find below the call for papers for the 2013 Midterm Conference of
the Europeanist Network of the European Association of Social
Anthropologists (EASA). The conference, entitled "The Nomadism of Social
Anthropologists", will be held in Bucharest, Romania on 26-27 April 2013.

In order to improve the attendance and visibility of what is expected to be
a relatively small conference (12-16 contributions), we have negotiated a
partnership with the organisers of the 11th Regional Meeting of the Border
Crossings Network (see www.border-crossings.eu), who have kindly agreed to
be our hosts.

We look forward to receiving your abstracts (maximum 400 words) by 15
January 2013.

Yours faithfully,

Samuel Shapiro
University of Auckland (New Zealand)


CFP ?The Nomadism of Social Anthropologists?

Midterm Conference of the Europeanist Network of the European Association
of Social Anthropologists (EASA) ? jointly held with the Border Crossings
Network

26-27th of April 2013, Bucharest, Romania



While anthropologists of the past decades have devoted increasing attention
both to questions of reflexivity and to people ?on the move? such as
migrants, relatively little attention has focused on the geographical and
cultural movement of social anthropologists themselves, especially since
the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Even if there is growing interest in
non-hegemonic anthropologies by scholars who have often lived in several
countries (esp. Daveluy and Dorias 2010; Ribeiro and Escobar 2006) and
recent work on ?the ethnographic self as resource? (Collins and Gallinat
2010) argues that anthropologists? personal experiences provide potentially
insightful ethnographic data that can enrich their scientific analysis, the
consequences of past and present anthropologists? nomadism on their own
research ? including their training, career and grant opportunities ? have
not been thoroughly analysed. It is common knowledge that today, in Europe
and beyond, being ?on the move? has increasingly become a part of many
anthropologists? lives.


Possibilities for academic nomadism exist in the student years through the
EU Erasmus programme and joint PhDs (?cotutelles?), and continue into
professional academic life due to the scarcity of academic positions,
hyper-specialisation, the exigencies of funding and the constraints of
funding criteria (see for example the EU?s Marie Curie programs) or to
simple anthropological curiosity. While not being restricted to
anthropologists, this mobile mode of life has particular consequences for
the scientific work of anthropologists, from how they perceive
relationships in the field to the ways in which they envisage their
writing, from the need to develop coping strategies faced to continually
changing research groups to the difficult adaptation to a new foreign
audience. Questions of fundamental and applied research as well as of
neutrality, engagement and militantism are but some issues on which
anthropologists? personal trajectories weigh heavily.



This conference seeks original theoretical and personal reflections about
how academic nomadism through different countries, cultures and continents
affects the practices, day-to-day experiences and theoretical approaches of
social anthropologists (that include but are not limited to the domain of
their training, teaching and research). We invite contributors to consider
some of the questions below:



? What motivates future anthropologists to seek training in one country
instead of another?

? How does exposure to anthropology as practiced in several countries
influence their research: the topics that anthropologists study, the
theoretical approaches they privilege and the language(s) and audience(s)
they publish in and for?

? How do larger historical and political issues (e.g. post-socialism,
former British and French colonial presence, American empire, regional
traditions such as in Latin America) play into the larger world in which
anthropologists live and research, and influence their theoretical
approaches?

? What kinds of moral and ethical issues are involved when the
researcher is based in several countries, or has to negotiate different
ethical standards between the country of one?s host institution and that of
one?s fieldwork, while having been socialised in yet another ethical mode?

? How does the researcher negotiate his or her figure of rootlessness in
?stable? field environments?



As the professional anthropologist as an academic and intellectual migrant
is not a completely new character, analyses of historical material on
20thcentury anthropologists is welcome.



Please send 400-word abstracts in English by the 15th of January 2013 to
ef.easa.conference@gmail.com. The conference will be held jointly with the
Border Crossings Network?s Regional Conference (
http://www.border-crossings.eu) in Bucharest on 26-27 of April 2013.

TEACHING-STREAM POSITION - Department of Anthropology - McMaster University

TEACHING-STREAM POSITION AVAILABLE
Department of Anthropology
McMaster University

The Department of Anthropology at McMaster University invites applications
for a teaching-stream position at the assistant professor level. We are
looking for an enthusiastic and active individual deeply committed to a
long-term career in undergraduate education and teaching. While course
assignments remain at the direction and discretion of the department, we
expect the successful candidate to teach 18 units (6 courses) to be
distributed as follows: 12 units at the 1st-year-level, 3 units at the
3rd-year-level, and 3 units to be determined in accordance with the
successful candidate's expertise. We also expect the successful individual
to be involved in other aspects of the department, including running
undergraduate workshops on professional development and writing, training
Teaching Assistants, and other activities related to the undergraduate
program. The successful candidate is also expected to work closely with
McMaster's Centre for Leadership in Learning to assist in the development
of innovative pedagogical technologies and models. The Department is
proud of its long history of collegiality, and we hope to fill the
advertised position with an individual interested in working with all
faculty members.
We are seeking candidates with broad training in Anthropology and a vision
of the discipline as a whole. The Department of Anthropology at McMaster
University enjoys strong foci in physical anthropology, sociocultural
anthropology, archaeology, and the anthropology of health, but our
teaching program emphasizes six thematic themes that integrate and
cross-cut the sub-disciplines. These themes include identity, change,
justice, the environment and technology, and anthropological practice. We
are looking for an individual with demonstrated ability to bridge
sub-disciplinary boundaries, teaching experience in several of the
department's thematic areas, as well as background in at least two
sub-disciplines. Candidates are also encouraged to consult the
department's website to learn more about the department's undergraduate
program. Candidates will have completed a Ph.D. in anthropology and will
have a strong record of achievement in teaching at all undergraduate
levels.
All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian

position. McMaster is strongly committed to employment equity within its
community and to recruiting a diverse faculty and staff. The University
encourages applications from all qualified candidates, including women,
members of visible minorities, Aboriginal persons, members of sexual
minorities, and persons with disabilities.
Applications should include a curriculum vita, the names and addresses
(including email) of three referees, a statement of teaching philosophy,
examples of course syllabi and teaching assessments, and other teaching
materials relevant to the advertised position. These materials should be
sent in electronic format. Letters of application should address how
candidates are prepared to engage in the teaching of undergraduate
classes.

5th Annual McGill Anthropology Graduate Students' Conference - Setting anthropology in motion: 'Movement' in the contemporary world -McGill University - March, 2013

5th Annual McGill Anthropology Graduate Students' Conference
Setting anthropology in motion: 'Movement' in the contemporary world
McGill University

Friday, March 22, 2013

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Peter Locke
Lecturer in Public and International Affairs at the Woodrow Wilson School
Princeton University
We begin with a truism: the world is changing. Increasingly,
anthropologists must engage
with 'movement' in many aspects of their work. The vectors of
'movement,' however, can be
understood both in terms of the actual objects or phenomena under
study, and as adjustments in
how we approach and conceptualize anthropological research. Our goal
is to provide a space to
collectively 'workshop' the idea of 'movement.'
Instances of 'movement' can be identified in shifts towards
non-governmental initiatives
to effect change; people slipping in and out of defined categories;
people's mobilization to achieve
collective goals (e.g., rights for trees in Ecuador, rights to
experimental medical treatment, etc.);
the global circulation of people, ideas, objects, and money;
developments in biomedicine,
information and communications technology; the re-orientation of
political thinking and action
in terms of climate change; or the exploration of new ways to capture
sensory dimensions of
'movement.'
Our challenge as anthropologists is to keep pace. We propose using
'movement' as a
device for thinking through anthropological problems and the process
of fieldwork. On one
hand, 'movement' can broadly characterize the phenomena we study
today; on the other hand,
'movement' can denote corresponding shifts in how anthropologists can
(or must) re-examine the
tools at their disposal. In the spirit of generating a productive
environment where students and
faculty can discuss and collaborate, we ask participants to consider
some of the following
questions:
- Does 'movement' (as broadly conceived above but also open to
interpretation),
manifest in your own research? If so, in what ways does 'movement' become
apparent? If not, how would you characterize what you are studying?
- What is anthropologically curious about such 'movements'?
- Does the study of ?movement? in your research present any challenges
in terms of
how you can describe and/or analyze the phenomena under study? If so, what do
these challenges consist of? If not, then what kinds of descriptive or
analytic tools do
you use in your study of 'movement'?
- What role does 'movement' play in how we conceive of anthropology as
a discipline?
- Besides 'movement,' what other devices do you propose can be used by
anthropologists to describe contemporary phenomena?
We hope that re-thinking the idea of 'movement' can generate new lines
of inquiry in
individual researchers' work, as well as in the anthropological
discipline at large.
Submissions may include, but are not limited to, work in the following
subject areas:
- mobile populations (e.g., migrant workers, diaspora, etc.)
- governance (e.g., problems of governance, modes of governance ,etc.)
- self and subjectivity
- collective change (e.g., rights movements, protests, staying local, etc.)
- new and emerging technologies in various domains (e.g., social
media, biomedicine,
ICT, etc.)
- humans and the environment (e.g., climate change, urbanization, food
and agriculture,
etc.)
- fieldwork (experiences, problems, questions, etc.)
- sensory ethnography (methodological and theoretical problems, as
well as possibilities)

We invite students to submit abstracts of no more than 300 words to
anthrogradmcgill@gmail.com. Please include your name, graduate status (e.g.,
Undergraduate, M.A. student, Ph.D. candidate, etc.) and contact information.

Deadline for abstracts: Friday, December 21, 2012

Forum: PGSS David Thomson House, McGill University, Montréal

Note: Conference participation and attendance is free.

Love and Sentimentalism in Popular Music - An Interdisciplinary Symposium, Royal Holloway University of London, 27-28 June 2013

Love and Sentimentalism in Popular Music
An Interdisciplinary Symposium
Royal Holloway University of London
27-28 June 2013

Keynote Speaker: Christine Yano, University of Hawaii

The distinct yet linked concepts of love and sentimentalism are among
the most widespread emotional ideas found in popular music around the
world. Yet, with the notable exceptions of Christine Yano?s research
in Japan (2002) and Martin Stokes? research in Egypt (2007) and Turkey
(2010) the themes of love and sentimentalism in popular music have
received little serious attention. There has been an implicit tendency
to view love uncritically, as a universal concept, which disregards
its diverse cultural, historical, and musical manifestations and
representations. Furthermore, love and sentimentalism in popular music
are too often discarded as banal invocations of a personal realm,
often leading their broader relations to society, culture, history,
and politics to be overlooked or inadequately analysed.

Both Yano and Stokes challenge us to consider how narratives of love
and sentimentalism may converge with ideas of nation and citizenship
in popular music and its star performers. Indeed, popular music around
the world has often been connected to ideas of national sentiment,
ways of loving, and belonging whether through official state
involvement or within intimate public spheres which operate beyond,
or, in spite of, the state. This situation raises some important
questions. How might the relationship between popular music, love,
sentimentalism, and national citizenship be manifested differently in
particular cultural and historical contexts? How can we reconcile such
nationally orientated conceptions of love, sentiment and popular music
with frequently cosmopolitan aesthetics and transnational economies of
affect? Why do some styles of popular music and their affective work
resist being bound by national frameworks more easily than others?
Alternatively, how might we interpret lovelorn narratives of romantic
sorrow, suffering, and frustration in popular music in relation to
wider experiences of dislocation, alienation, anomie, and
disenfranchisement in modernity? Moreover, how are concepts of love
and sentimentalism gendered and how is this manifested in musical
performance?

It is also important to note that the majority of popular music that
deals with ideas of love and sentimentalism exists in the form of
song. That leads us to consider in what ways love and sentimentalism
are expressed distinctly in the domains of music, words, and voice and
how these domains interact. Furthermore, how does the expression of
love and sentimentalism depend on who is performing, their social
status, and any pre-existing relations of intimacy between performer
and listener? How might such relations of intimacy and musical
articulations of love and sentimentalism be mediated by technology?

Papers that shed light on these themes are invited from any relevant
discipline including ethnomusicology, anthropology, popular music
studies, musicology, sociology, history, and film studies. Please
email abstracts of no more than 250 words for 20-minute papers (with a
short biographical note) to James Butterworth
(james.butterworth.2009@live.rhul.ac.uk) by 31 January 2012.

TECHNOLOGIES
LIBÉRATION OU EXPLOITATION DES FEMMES?
Colloque interdisciplinaire de l'Université féministe d'été
Université Laval, Québec, 19-24 mai 2013

Les développements technologiques considérables des dernières décennies
influencent profondément les représentations de soi et du monde, les
conditions de vie et le changement social. Si personne aujourd'hui ne
voudrait se priver des avantages qui en découlent, force est de constater
que, dans l'état actuel des rapports sociaux, les retombées ne sont pas
toutes positives et n'affectent pas tout le monde de la même manière. De
profondes inégalités sociales existent non seulement dans l'accès aux
nouvelles technologies mais aussi dans l'utilisation qui en est faite et
dans leur contrôle. Ces inégalités sont particulièrement marquées entre
les hommes et les femmes ainsi qu'entre différentes régions dans le monde.
De plus, l'ampleur, la rapidité et la complexité des transformations qui
nous touchent directement et indirectement font en sorte qu'il est
difficile de se tenir à jour et de conserver une distance critique.

D'où le titre de notre 11e édition : TECHNOLOGIES : LIBÉRATION OU
EXPLOITATION DES FEMMES?

Du 19 au 24 mai 2013, l'Université féministe d'été vous convie à une
semaine intensive d'échanges et de ressourcement, en compagnie de
féministes oeuvrant dans différents domaines et disciplines. Ensemble,
dans une atmosphère à la fois studieuse et conviviale, nous ferons le
point et réfléchirons aux enjeux soulevés par diverses technologies dans
nos vies personnelle, professionnelle et sociale.

Le programme est en conçu de telle manière que, dans chacune des séances,
une heure complète est réservée aux questions et aux échanges entre la
salle et les conférencières et conférenciers.

L'Université féministe d'été est ouverte, sans préalable, à toute personne
intéressée. Il est aussi possible aux étudiant-e-s des universités
québécoises d'obtenir des crédits de 1er ou 2e cycle.

Vous trouverez ci-dessous et sur notre site web
http://www.fss.ulaval.ca/universitefeministedete, un aperçu du programme
en préparation.

EAST AFRICA TODAY' - new podcast series

EAST AFRICA TODAY' - The new podcast series of the Society for
International Development


The Society for International Development is pleased to announce the
launch of the new program called 'EAST AFRICA TODAY'. It is a weekly audio
program of 30 minutes that goes on every Monday and is hosted on the SID
Forum

Each episode will see influential East Africans - be it a politician,
policy-maker, activist, economist and entrepreneur - discuss interesting
trends and dynamics that are shaping the region and explore domestic and
international dynamics that will shape the future of regional integration
and beyond.

This podcast series is a follow up initiative of the 'State of East Africa
Report 2012: Deepening Integration, Intensifying Challenges' and is aimed
at broadening the conversations and debates surrounding the findings and
dynamics hinted by the report which would have long-term consequences for
the region.

Moving away from being a news interview, the East Africa Today Podcast is
unique as it is a free flowing conversation and discussion. It is created
and curated by Ahmed Salim (Program Manager SID, Dar es Salaam). Podcast
can be downloaded to a portable media player, as well as computers.

Stay Tuned: Next podcast will be made available on the SID Forum -
http://www.sidint.net/content/east-africa-today-podcast - and announced
via:

Twitter @SID_INT and @SIDEastAfrica

Facebook and LinkedIn @Society for International Development.

Scholarship: Masters & Post-Doctoral Study on Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies

Scholarship: Masters & Post-Doctoral Study on Poverty, Land and Agrarian
Studies (University of the Western Cape)


Professor Ben Cousins of the Institute for Poverty, Land and Agrarian
Studies (PLAAS) at University of the Western Cape holds the South African
Research Chair in Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies (funded by the
National Research Foundation). He supports and supervises a number of
MPhil and PhD students who are undertaking field research on aspects of
agrarian change, land reform and poverty reduction in several provinces.


Applications are invited for two (2) scholarships for MPhil studies by
full thesis and one (1) post-doctoral fellowship.

A five year research programme is under way seeking to answer two
over-arching questions: what processes of socio-economic change are under
way in the South African countryside that are likely to influence the
outcomes and impacts of land and agrarian reform? what are the impacts of
land and agrarian reform policies and programmes on agricultural
productivity, agrarian structure and rural poverty?



Researchers also explore the policy implications of their research findings.

MA in Cultural Analysis and Social Theory

MA in Cultural Analysis and Social Theory, Wilfrid Laurier
University,Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
Application deadline: January 15, 2013

The MA in CAST focuses on analyzing culture and theorizing the social
from interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary perspectives.Its core
faculty represent a diversity of departments and programs, including
Anthropology,Communication Studies, Cultural Studies, Global Studies,
Sociology, Languages and Literatures, Journalism and Contemporary
Studies, and Women and Gender Studies.
CAST arises from a commitment to provide an ongoing critical
perspective on social, institutional,and ideological practices that
shape and limit contemporary lives. CAST examines the complexity of
the forces and processes involved in the shaping of culture and
subjectivity. It allows us to examine how power and politics
are necessarily embedded in cultural systems, how categories such as
class, race, gender,sexuality, (dis)ability, and language are socially
constructed, and how meaningful and ethical agency is possible. CAST
aims to encourage critical thinking about the complexities of social
life and to provide a home for nourishing the kind of
thinking,teaching, and learning that fosters more discerning, ethical,
and democratic citizens.
The program has three designated *elds, with elective courses available
in each.

• Globalization,Identity and Social Movements
• Body Politics:Gender, Sexuality, and Embodiment
• Cultural Representation and Social Theory

Wilfrid Laurier University provides competitive funding packages for
graduate study. Fundingfor the MA in CAST typically comes in the form
of scholarships and Teaching Assistantships. Every effort is made to
ensure that TA-ships coincide with the background and/or research of
our MA students in Cultural Studies, Global Studies, Women and Gender
Studies, Communication Studies, and elsewhere.
