ATN to air The Legend of Ponnivala

*ATN Signs "The Legend of Ponnivala" for Canadian Broadcast*

/- Animated epic series to air spring 2013 -/

*GORE'S LANDING, ON (March, 2013) -* The Sophia Hilton Foundation of
Canada and Soft Science Associates, Ltd., creators of the animated
"Legend of Ponnivala" series, have signed on with the Asian Television
Network for Canadian broadcast of the 26-episode series. The series is
slated to launch in English on ATN in late April, with a
Tamil-language broadcast planned for the summer.

"The Legend of Ponnivala" tells the story of the epic South Indian
heroes Ponnar and Shankar. It also relates the origins of their
family, back to the founding of the region two generations earlier. It
is a surprisingly expansive tale for a local legend, and includes a
wealth of historical and social insights into medieval Indian culture.
It draws inspiration and characters from the great Indian epic, the
Mahabharata, while keeping its focus on farming, the lifestyle central
to its place of origin.

"The Legend of Ponnivala" has previously been seen only as a feature
film in select international settings. One extended excerpt received a
nomination for Best Animated Film (Home Video) at the 2012 FICCI BAF
Awards in India. Another extract was a featured presentation at the
MOSAIC International South Asian Film Festival in Mississauga, Ontario.

"The Legend of Ponnivala" is derived from a vast, ancient Hindu
folktale tradition from South India's Kongu region. The story has
traditionally been told through song and passed down through
generations of singing bards. One such performance was captured on
over forty hours of audio tape in 1965 by Dr. Brenda Beck, who
directed the series. Art and animation on the project began in 2008.
Animator Ravichandran Arumugam, whose grandfather was a traditional
singer of the epic, was brought on board to lead the art and animation
team.

Also involved in the project is award-winning Celtic musician and
world music expert Steafan Hannigan, along with the voice talents of
Afroz Khan, Sivakumar, Lata Pada, Ishwar and Sanjay Talreja.

"The Legend of Ponnivala" is an epic adventure story for all ages.
Part mythology, part fairytale, part historical drama and part action
series, Ponnivala promises to delight and entertain viewers of all
ages and across all cultures.

Centre for Ethnography Talk (April 1st - UTSC): "Witnessing Aboriginal Child 'Protection' in Treaty 3 Anishinaabe First Nations"

The Centre for Ethnography at UTSC would like to invite you to its final
talk in its Speaker Series for Winter, 2013.

"Witnessing Aboriginal Child 'Protection' in Treaty 3 Anishinaabe First
Nations"

Krista Maxwell, UTSC Fellow
Monday, April 1, 12-2pm (light lunch will be served)
Centre for Ethnography (Room MW 296), Social Science Building

Abstract
The forced removal of the children of subjugated peoples by agents of the
state is a social and political act which intensifies subjugation by
disrupting or destroying social reproduction. For more than a century,
the Canadian state has authorised the forced removal of indigenous
children from their families and communities. Since the 1950s, the
Anishinaabeg of Treaty Three First Nations have lost thousands of
children, apprehended by child welfare workers in the name of protecting
children's best interests as defined by the state. These Anishinaabeg
have struggled to resist the removal of their children and to recover
those who have been taken, in myriad ways and with varied outcomes. In
this presentation I share some of the accounts of loss and struggle which
have been shared with me during on-going fieldwork, and consider the role
of the anthropologist and the challenges of conducting ethnographic
research in the context of continuing child welfare interventions which
violate Anishinaabeg's sovereignty over their own children.

We look forward to seeing you there!

CFP - ALONG THE CROSSROADS OF FLEXIBLE KIN AND FLEXIBLE LABOR: PERFORMING WOMANHOOD WITHIN GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN CAPITALISM

CFP - ALONG THE CROSSROADS OF FLEXIBLE KIN AND FLEXIBLE LABOR:
PERFORMING WOMANHOOD WITHIN GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN CAPITALISM

SESSION ORGANIZERS: Nellie Chu (University of California, Santa Cruz)

Keywords: Global supply chain capitalism, kinship, womanhood, labor and
class politics

In the past few decades, global supply chains have increasingly relied on
the fragmentation and diversity of historically and spatially-specific
mobilizations of labor, capital, and resources (Ong 1991, Friedberg 2004,
Tsing 2009, Chalfin 2009). These capitalistic operations range from
outsourcing methods, factory sweatshops, family firms, to home-based
assembly work. At the same time, these global supply chains remain
remarkably dependent on feminized, migratory, and affective kinship
networks in order to sustain its trans-national reach as well as to
facilitate the flexible forms of entrepreneurship, wage labor, and
trans-national capital accumulation. From familial relationships, native
place networks, indigenous identifications, to ethical affiliations,
gender and kinship remain at the forefront of flexible capitalist
production and reproduction precisely because of their cultural resilience
and their multiplicity of relationships and forms.

Most notably, women serve as the key drivers in mobilizing, reshaping, and
reinforcing the flexible strategies of kinship and capitalist accumulation.
These women serve as the critical agents in the constitution of low-wage
factory labor (Ong 1987, Rofel 1998, Collins 2003, Pun 2005, Cairoli 2011),
performance of service work (Constable 1997, Moreton 2009), accumulation of
raw materials for manufacture (Chalfin 2009), and small-scale
entrepreneurship (Siu 2010). For example, the case of the "iPhone girl" in
2008 illustrates the pervasive figure of "the young factory girl" across
the World Wide Web within readers' imaginations and speculations of
factory
labor practices in China. Collectively, these working women represent the
world's low-wage workforce. They also constitute the varied affective and
biological modes of belonging through which they negotiate their personal
autonomy and identities within cross-cultural regimes of labor
exploitation, capital accumulation, patriarchy, and nation-state
governance. While anthropologists have pointed out that the feminization
of the global labor force simultaneously implies the retreat of
class-based solidarities and workers' resistance (Ong 1991, Lee 1998,
Comaroff 2000), what alternative forms of collectivist activist and
participatory politics among the world's feminized workforce can
anthropologists identify and mobilize?

By re-asserting women at the forefront of global supply chain capitalism,
this panel seeks to bring together the transnational contexts of work
spaces, labor regimes, and modes of belonging through which these female
agents perform, challenge, and reinforce their individual and collective
subjectivities as working women. To this end, this panel raises the
following inquiries:

* What are the specific labor regimes and institutionalized governance
to which these women are subjected around the world? What novel forms of
resistance, ambivalence, or accommodation do women use to respond to these
particular modes of power?
* What are the historically and spatially-specific forms of female and
kin-based subjectivities and collectivities through which working women
perform, construct, and affirm their identifications as workers or
non-workers?
* In what ways do workers' assertions of female subjectivities enable
or subvert multi-scalar regimes of patriarchy and labor exploitation
or
self-exploitation?
* How does anthropological attention of the varied constructions of
working womanhood illuminate the diverse forms of intimacy and belonging
upon which flexible accumulation depends? Can do we bridge these
constructions across geographical, linguistic, and affective divides?

For interested panelists, please submit your proposed abstract of no more
than 250 words to Nellie Chu (nxchu@ucsc.edu) by April 1, 2013.

Call for Papers: Local Action for Island Communities Facing Social and Environmental Change

Reply-To: Ilan Kelman <islandvulnerability@yahoo.com>


Call for Papers: Local Action for Island Communities Facing Social and
Environmental Change

A proposed panel for the International Conference on Island Development 2013
Penghu Archipelago, Taiwan, 1-5 October 2013
http://island.npu.edu.tw
Deadline for submissions: 31 March 2013

Panel convened by Ilan Kelman and Huei-Min Tsai

Based on 6-8 papers presented, or solicited afterwards, to become a
special issue with the same title within Journal of Marine and Island
Cultures.

Climate change exemplifies the wide ranging social and environmental
changes which are challenging many locations, especially islands. Despite
the difficulties, these changes also bring opportunities to implement
local innovations. Island communities are at the forefront of experiencing
the changes as well as at the forefront of local action to deal with the
changes.

This panel seeks contributions about local island actions to the
challenges imposed by social and environmental change. Successes and
problematic approaches, as well as those exhibiting both, are relevant.
Analysis of internal problems alongside the external challenges and
internal advantages would be welcome for contributions to the panel.
Single or comparative case studies are relevant. Ultimately, the question
to answer through case study research is: How can local action address and
not address the social and environmental changes challenging island
communities?

The introductory presentation will be given by Ilan Kelman drawing on
island case studies from around the world to set the conceptual parameters
for the discussion. As such, panel contributions do not necessarily need
to develop detailed theory. Instead, a problem-driven, pragmatic approach
based on on-the-ground evidence is preferred.

2013 Tansley Lecture, April 18th, 2013

The Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy is pleased to
present the 2013 Tansley Lecture:

Strategic Targets for Public Services: Lessons for Canada from the
English Experience

Presented by Peter C. Smith, Professor of Health Policy, Imperial
College London

When it came to power in 1997, Tony Blair's government sought to
revolutionize the way in which UK public services were planned and
delivered. In particular, it sought to focus the actions of ministers on
explicit objectives and targets, in the form of 'Public Service
Agreements' (PSAs). The distinctive feature of this system was a range
of high profile mechanisms designed to ensure that PSAs led to
measurable changes in public service performance. This presentation will
summarize the history of the PSA regime, describe some of the major
issues that arose in its implementation, and assess its general
relevance to the management of public services by governments in Canada
contemplating, implementing or using performance management regimes.

Peter C. Smith is Professor of Health Policy at Imperial College
London, where he co-directs the Centre for Health Policy. He is a
mathematics graduate from the University of Oxford, and was formerly
Director of the Centre for Health Economics at the University of York.
He is author of many academic papers on the financing and efficiency of
public services, and is with Sherry Glied joint editor of the Oxford
Handbook of Health Economics. Particular research interests include
health system performance assessment, value for money, and the equitable
financing of public services. Smith has advised many government
ministries and international agencies, including the World Health
Organization, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the
European Commission and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development.

School of History of Art, Film and Visual Media, Birkbeck, University of

Title: "Gender, Liberation and Futures in South Africa: Women's Art
Practice as Alternative Political Arena"


When the Monument to the Women of South Africa was unveiled in Pretoria in
August 2000, much was riding on the ability of the monument to invoke the
presence and necessity of women for the country's past and for securing
its success in the future. The Monument was designed to recall not only
the crucial role played in the liberation struggle by women from all
constituencies (and across class and colour lines) but also the ways in
which such a past can work to enable a new vision of the future.

This lecture argues that while the conventional political terrain in South
Africa appears to be stalling on delivering the fruits of a democratic
process, a new space for effective political activism on the ground has
been opened up by women makers and artists. The lecture explores some of
the extraordinary projects which have effectively taken the initiative to
transform complex social environments still blighted by the devastating
legacy of the apartheid years and the economic and health challenges
presented by years of official denialism in the face of the AIDS/HIV
pandemic. It argues that gender is a critical component in these art
projects' success.

The talk will be given in English, but simultaneous translation in French
will be offered.

Everyone welcome

Bonjour!

Pamela Walker, la titulaire de la Chaire conjointe en études des femmes à
l'Université d'Ottawa et Carleton University, a le plaisir de vous inviter
à une

Présentation par

Annie E. Coombes, professeure, Material and Visual Culture, School of
History of Art, Film and Visual Media, Birkbeck, University of London

Quand: Jeudi, 28 mars 2013, de 11 h30 à 13 h00

Où: River Conference Room, Édifice River Building, Carleton University,
1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa

Titre: Genre, libération et futurs en Afrique du Sud: l'utilisation de
l'Art par les femmes en tant qu'arène politique alternative
(Gender, Liberation and Futures in South Africa: Women's Art
Practice as Alternative Political Arena)

Lorsque le Monument des femmes d'Afrique du Sud fut dévoilé à Pretoria, en
août 2000, on a fondé beaucoup d'espoir sur la capacité de ce monument à
invoquer la présence et l'importance de ces femmes qui ont fait partie du
passé de ce pays pour en assurer son succès dans l'avenir. Ce Monument a
été conçu pour rappeler non seulement le rôle essentiel joué par les
femmes de toutes les sphères, traversant les frontières de couleur et de
race, mais aussi les divers moyens grâce auxquels un tel passé peut
contribuer à une nouvelle vision de l'avenir.

Cette présentation maintiendra que, bien que le terrain politique
conventionnel de l'Afrique du Sud semble tarder à livrer les fruits d'un
processus démocratique, un nouvel espace pour un militantisme politique
efficace sur le terrain a été lancé par des femmes créatrices et artistes.
Cette présentation touchera quelques un des projets extraordinaires ayant
eu pour but de transformer des environnements sociaux complexes encore
assombris par l'héritage dévastateur des années d'Apartheid et d'enjeux
importants relativement à l'économie et à la santé, conséquence de
nombreuses années de dénégation officielle quant à la pandémie de
VIH/SIDA. On y confirmera que le genre est une composante critique dans le
succès de ces projets artistiques.

La présentation sera donnée en anglais, avec traduction simultanée en
français.

Reminder: CFP for Panel in AAA 2013: "Desiring the Middle East: Self-Formation, Subjectivity and Change"

*Panel CFP for 112th AAA Annual meeting: **Future Publics, Current
Engagements*

*November 20-24, 2013 in Chicago IL** *

*Panel Title: Desiring the Middle East: Self-Formation, Subjectivity and
Change*

Across the Middle East, public discourse is dominated by talk of a
yearning for change, transformation and development in a variety of
vocabularies that advocate for multiple ways of envisioning a better
future. More than two years after the spark of the Arab uprisings, the
political results of which remain unclear, and amid distinct political
and economic transformations in the region from Turkey to Iran to Morocco,
the desire for change continues to be articulated. Within this context,
this panel takes as its focus intensified discourses and practices of
self-making. We focus on the ideas of self-formation and improvement in
their broadest sense, attentive to the ideals and imaginings of progress
and development, both personal as well as that of the community and state.
We seek to explore pious and non-pious, regulatory and non-regulatory forms
of self-making as they overlap and relate to each other, such as those
involving body-making, education, entertainment, sport, fashion, and
consumption, as well as to interrogate the ways that these techniques are
themselves constituted and debated.

The panel will examine various practices of self-formation in an effort to
extend the debate on the trope of self-cultivation (Mittermaier 2012 cf.
Schielke 2010). In doing so, we seek to further our understanding of
enjoyment, pleasure and desire in the ways they relate to self-making and
personal development. Desire is central to our understanding of agency,
subjecthood and self fashioning (Hafez 2011, Mahmood 2005, McNay 2000,
Moore 2011). Papers will explore the ways that desire is situated to the
conditions in which it emerges, conditions shaped by creating new
lifestyles and patterns of consumption, as well as new ways of being and
engaging with the world (Rofel 2007). This panel will pay close
attention to the ways that desire is felt, cultivated, directed and
articulated in processes and goals of self-making as well as how desire
relates to public life.

By speaking to a major trend in the anthropology of subjectivity, this
panel asks how different methodologies and locales may inform the
interrogation of the self and shed light on the emerging politics of the
Middle East by training our analytical gaze on narratives and practices of
self-making. Our theoretical aim is to understand the ways in which
desire and discipline is perceived, built and experienced in the lives of
the individual. *What is the relationship between desire and agency and
how should we understand their significance in relation to
subject-formation? How might attention to subjectivity illuminate our
understanding of processes of self-improvement? How can a gender analytic
illuminate our analysis of desire and self-making? How do practices of
self-improvement relate and chafe with the state? How does neoliberalism
shape conceptions and itineraries of self-development? What are the
broader factors that stimulate hope, and what are the possibilities of
change that hope opens up? How might a comparative conversation serve to
further theoretical discussions of the religious and the secular? How
might thinking about ethnography as a practice of self-formation for the
anthropologist shed light on the subject?** *

Please send 250 word abstracts to Nermeen Mouftah (
n.mouftah@mail.utoronto.ca) and Sertaç Sehlikoglu (ss935@cam.ac.uk) by
March 18.

Call for Papers

Journal: Man in India: An International Journal of Anthropology, Vol. 93
No 3 (Sept 2013).Guest Editor: P. Pratap Kumar, University of KwaZulu
Natal, South Africa
Call for Papers
As the guest editor of the journal Man in India: An International Journal
of Anthropology, Vol. 93 No 3 (Sept 2013) I am seeking articles and papers
on the following broad theme: 'Social and Cultural World of the Indian
Diaspora'. The papers and articles need not address the issues in a direct
way. Scholars are encouraged to look at what issues seem to be of greater
significance in their particular research locations vis à vis the Indian
diaspora. To assist scholars with some perspective on possibilities, I
have outlined below a set of subtopics that might be of interest. They are
not limitations, but indications for possibilities. The deadline for
submission of papers is 30 June with a possible maximum extension up to 15
July 2013. I have enclosed the instructions to authors at the end of this
announcement. These are guidelines determined by the journal editorial
board. For more information on the journal please visit the website at--
http://www.serialspublications.com/ and type 'Man in India' in the search
facility and you will be taken to the location of the journal. I look
forward to your involvement in this exciting project. Please email all
correspondence in this regard to me at : penumalak@yahoo.com Completed
papers and articles should also be sent to my email address.

Social and Cultural World of the Indian Diaspora
In many countries, Indian community is in existence for over one and a
half centuries (e.g., Malaysia, Singapore, West Indian Islands, East
Africa and South Africa) while in other places they are at least into the
second generation (e.g., UK, Continental Europe, USA and Australia). It
would be useful to understand how the social worlds of these immigrant
groups have evolved and what issues are of significance to these
communities in their countries. It would be also useful to understand how
their orientation to the land of their origins may have changed. For
instance, do they continue to think of the land of their origins as their
homeland or has their present location become their homeland? Is there a
difference between the relatively newer immigrants and the 5th or 6th
generation Indians in their association to their land of origins? Such and
other questions can be discussed. Possible areas of discussion could
include—caste, religion, migration, global networks, economic relations,
citizenship, ethnic and other identity issues in relation to the place of
their domesticity. Also of significance is to understand the phenomenon of
multiple migrations (e.g., remigration of Indians from East Africa to
Brtian and USA, or Indians from Trinidad and Tobago to Canada and USA or
Europe), and how such remigrations have influenced their sense of
identity.

&#8195;

Cultural Landscape Heritage in Sub-Saharan Africa Symposium, May 10-11, 2013

Dumbarton Oaks Garden and Landscape Studies Symposium
Washington, DC

The "Cultural Landscape Heritage in Sub-Saharan Africa" symposium is
scheduled for May 10-11, 2013.

This symposium will be held at Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and
Collection, Washington,DC.

To register please 1) complete the registration form, 2) mail the
registration form together with a check for $60 ($40 for students), and 3)
sign up online.



This symposium will focus particularly on cultural landscape heritage:
what we know - or think we know about pre-colonial landscapes; how they
were read and misread in the colonial era; and how they are being
interpreted in the present for various purposes, including conservation,
economic development, education, and the creation of national identity.
The subcontinent offers a rich array of places for study by landscape
scholars and designers: World Heritage sites such as Great Zimbabwe, or
Djenne and Timbuktu in Mali; massive earthworks and palace grounds in
Benin; anthropogenic forests and forest shrines; contested wildlife parks
and ecological reserves; village compounds and seemingly chaotic
contemporary urban settlements; and official and unofficial memorials to
the struggles against colonialism. The characteristics and complexities of
such sites are only now beginning to be understood in the context of
landscape studies.

Symposium on Imaginative Ethnography - York

The Centre for Imaginative Ethnography (CIE) – an emerging
cyber-collective

University,* curated by Magdalena Kazubowski-Houston, Dara Culhane,
Denielle Elliott, Cristina Moretti, Laura Levin, and Marlis Schweitzer.

The event will include a Keynote Lecture by Dr. Andrew Irving*
*(University
of Manchester), an introduction to and invitation to participate in
building the CIE website (www.imaginativeethnography.org), and a symposium
on Imaginative Ethnography. The symposium will bring together scholars,
students and artists/scholars in reimagining what forms our ethnographic
practices might take. The event aims to ask: What might imaginative
ethnography do? Or, What could imaginative ethnography become? By
bringing
people together, we hope to initiate conversations that explore the
experimental, collaborative, visual, textual, urban, spatial, poetic,
political, performative, improvised, embodied, reflexive, kinetic,
ethnographic, emergent, creative and imaginative in our shared scholarship
and pedagogical practices.

The event is sponsored by the Performance Studies (Canada) Speaker Series,
York's Departments of Theatre and Anthropology, LA&PS Research Events and
Outreach Fund, and the Ad Hoc Grant.

*Wednesday April 10, 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm *

*Andrew Irving Keynote *
*"The Art of Life and Death: Everyday Adventures in Contingency and Destiny"

University

Andrew Irving is Lecturer in the Department of Anthropology at the
University of Manchester, and Editor of *Beyond Text: Critical Practices
and Sensory Anthropology *and *Whose Cosmopolitanism? Critical
Cosmopolitanism, Relationalities and Discontents*. In this talk, he will
explore the relationship between everyday action, the contingencies of
life and death, and the imaginative and inner life-worlds of the random
strangers we pass on the street. It draws on rough magic, modernist
literature, and performance to try to understand the radical consequences
of turning right and left in open public spaces.

Henrietta Moore - Upcoming Talk, University of Toronto Scarborough, March 8, 2013

Prof. Henrietta L. Moore (William Wyse Professor of Anthropology,
University of Cambridge)

"Personal Matters: Intimacy and Exclusion in Africa and Europe"

Organized by the Centre for Ethnography, UTSC

10:30am-12:30pm, UTSC, Room, MW110

Lunch will be served

The talk will discuss recent mass protests over gay marriage in France,
LGBT activism in Uganda and circumcision in Kenya in relation to public
debate and national politics.

Henrietta L. Moore is the William Wyse Chair of Social Anthropology at the
University of Cambridge. Previously Moore was Deputy Director at the
London School of Economics (LSE) and also served as the Director of the
Gender Institute at the LSE. She is a leading theorist of gender in the
social sciences and she has worked extensively in Africa. Her work has
developed a distinctive approach to the comparative analysis of gender and
sexuality, and to the intersections between culture and globalization. Her
recent book, "Still Life: Hopes, Desires and Satisfactions", argues for a
reconsideration of globalization based on ordinary people's capacities for
self-making and social transformation.

Join us on March 8th! International Women's Day global march

Reply-To: membership@awid.org


On March 8th International Women's Day many of you will join us in a
global march For a Life Free of Violence Against Women and Girls! More
than 100 organizations from around the world will participate in the march
many of whom are AWID members!

Each participating organization will find their own way to address the
theme of the 57th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW)
taking place at the United Nations, in New York that week which will focus
on the elimination and prevention of all forms of violence against women
and girls. On 8th March, women's rights advocates attending the CSW will
march through the city with the following demands to their governments:

Take Concrete Steps to End Impunity!
Fund Gender Equality and Human Rights Instead of Militarism!
Protect Women Human Rights Defenders!

Participating organizations will carry out diverse activities that focus
on holding governments accountable for their role in perpetrating and
perpetuating violence against women and girls. Our members will also do
their part to contribute to this call:

In Bolivia, the Centro de Mujeres Indigenas Aymaras Candelaria (The
Candeliaria Centre for Indigenous Aymara Women) will be marching and
paying homage to Clotilde Marquez Cruz a woman human Rights defender who
fought to end violence and discrimination against women. They will also
carry out public service announcements utilizing the march slogans and
will present awareness raising radio programs through their network of
community radios "Apachita."

In Nigeria, The Nigerian Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ Zone D
including 4 states Nasarawa, Plateau, Benue and Kaduna) will organize
awareness raising discussions with various media outlets on violence
against women and girls. They will also carry out advocacy visits with
legislative stakeholders to lobby them to enact a bill on violence against
women which is currently before the national assembly.

Genre En Action members will join us in New York to take part in the local
march we are organizing right across from the United Nations to bring the
messages from our movements directly to governments.

In Egypt, our Egyptian sisters at "Masreya horra .. Etkalemi" : (Free
Egyptian Woman .. Speak Up) will also be co-sponsoring the march!

In India, the Gandhi Peace Centre will be participating as well!

These are just a few of the activities AWID members are organizing around
the world! On Friday March 8th we will share photos from the march in NYC
and more information about all of the ways in which organizations around
the world are participating in this global action! We will be covering the
march on our Facebook page and on Twitter. You can join us by following us
on Facebook and on Twitter using the following hashtags #CSW57, #EndVAW,
#VAW, #WHRDs, #EndImpunity, #FundGenderEquality, #EndMilitarism,
#DefendOurRightToDefendRights. In the meantime please click here to see
all of the march co-sponsors and the call to action. You can still
participate in this action just write to us at membership@awid.org and let
us know what you will be doing in support of the march for a Life Free of
Violence Against Women and Girls! Those Members who are already
participating are also invited to share pictures and emails letting us
know about the activities and events you are planning on March 8, 2013.

Sincerely,

AWID

Call for entry: Taiwan International Ethnographic Film Festival 2013

Calling All Filmmakers! The 2013 Taiwan International Ethnographic Film
Festival will be held in Taipei from October 4th to 8th, 2013.

Entry submission deadline: May 10th, 2013

TIEFF is organized by the Taiwan Association of Visual Ethnography (TAVE), a
non-profit organization dedicated to greater public awareness of
documentary and ethnographic films. TIEFF is more than a venue for
screening films and videos; it is also a forum for education, discussion,
and exchange. TIEFF considers every film selected to be equally valuable;
therefore, there is no competition section in the event.

Our 7th Biennial's central theme is "Beyond Borders." "Beyond Borders"
seeks to explore all kinds of borders, whether physical, cultural,
symbolic, or psychological. Borders can be barriers or they can mark
passage from one place, state, or time to another. Films in this category
might focus on migration, diaspora, globalization, the environment, or
other topics related to the concept of transcending boundaries. Whatever
the topic, films submitted for consideration in this category should
clearly capture the spirit of the central theme.

We also offer the "New Vision" category for new ethnographic films. Films
in this category need not fit the central theme. The only requirements are
that they be ethnographic in focus and were made after January 1st, 2011

Films can be submitted under either of the following two categories:
A) Central Theme: "Beyond Borders." Open to non-fiction films produced at
any time which show a clear relationship to our central theme. (See
description above.)
B) New Vision: Ethnographic films on any subject, completed after January
1st, 2011.

A Woman Scholar's Reflections on Denial, March 8 at 1pm, Montreal

The Simone de Beauvoir Institute and the Department of Anthropology &
Sociology present:

A Woman Scholar's Reflections on Denial: Ottoman Past, Turkish Present and
the Collective Violence against the Armenians, 1789-2009

Dr. Fatma Müge Göçek
Professor of Sociology and Women's Studies,
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

Friday, March 8th, 2013
1:00 to 3:00pm
Hall Building, Room # H1120
1455 de Maisonneuve Blvd. W
Free

With the intent to analyze the origins and continuity of the collective
violence committed against the Armenian through Ottoman and republican
history up to the present, the talk analyzes the narrative of 297
contemporaneous memoir writers and their 315 texts. The analysis provides
a historically based explanation not only for the emergence of such
collective violence, but its continuation across two hundred twenty years
from 1789 to 2009. And it further argues that the layering of denial
across time makes it even more challenging for contemporary Turkish state
and society to acknowledge the violence.

Born, raised and educated in Istanbul, Turkey, Fatma Müge Göçek is a
Professor of Sociology and Women's Studies at the University of Michigan,
Ann Arbor. Her research focuses on the comparative analysis of history,
politics, gender and collective violence. Her published works include East
Encounters West: France and the Ottoman Empire in the 18th Century (Oxford
University Press, 1987), Reconstructing Gender in the Middle East:
Tradition, Identity, Power (Columbia University Press, 1994 co-edited with
Shiva Balaghi), Rise of the Bourgeoisie, Demise of Empire: Ottoman
Westernization and Social Change (Oxford University Press, 1996),
Political Cartoons in the Middle East (Markus Wiener Publishers, 1998),
Social Constructions of Nationalism in the Middle East (SUNY Press, 2002),
The Transformation of Turkey: Redefining State and Society from the
Ottoman Empire to the Modern Era (I.B. Tauris Publishers, 2011), and A
Question of Genocide: Armenians and Turks at the End of the Ottoman Empire
(Oxford University Press, 2011 co-edited with Ronald Grigor Suny and
Norman Naimark). She has recently finished a book manuscript entitled
Deciphering Denial: Ottoman Past, Turkish Present and the Collective
Violence against the Armenians, 1789-2009.

Extension CFP CASCA 2013 - Ethnographies of Democratic Deficits

One of the presenters for this panel had to withdraw, so we have space for
one or two more papers. The deadline to submit an abstract for the panel
"Ethnographies of Democratic Deficits" has been extended to March 9th, 2013.

Please see below for details.

Call for Papers CASCA 2013: Ethnographies of Democratic Deficits

Recent and long-running social justice movements ranging from pro-choice
campaigns and anti-austerity protests to Occupy, One Billion Rising and Idle
No More all show how formal civil and political liberties may coexist with
acute
socioeconomic injustices in ostensibly democratic states. Meanwhile, as
events
in Europe dramatically demonstrate, elected governments are frequently
answerable less to their own citizens than to such international
organizations
as the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank.

We are seeking papers that explore such inequities and various organized
responses to them, treating them as diagnostic of the deficits of democratic
citizenship in specific contexts, even as their genesis cannot be limited
to a
single scale. Possible themes include, but are not limited to, the following:

• "Think Globally/Act Locally"?: Challenges posed by the need to work
politically at multiple scales, in a world where democratic citizenship and
human rights are empowered primarily at the nation-state level while capital
operates "beyond borders";

• Struggles fought over and through the meaning of democracy;

• Case studies in disjunctive democracy: Explorations of Teresa Caldeira and
James Holston's argument that all actually-existing "democracies" are
more-or-less disjunctive in the sense that the enabling conditions of
democratic citizenship extend beyond the realm of electoral politics to
encompass such issues as bodily security and social welfare;

• The displacement of activist politics into the legal realm (for example,
through human rights cases), with attendant risks of depoliticization;

• Problems of governmentality: How does power work through the language and
machinery of democracy?;

• The uneasy relationship between democracy and capitalism in liberal states;

• How anthropologists might usefully contribute to these debates.


Please submit your abstracts (150 words) to Robin Whitaker (robinw@mun.ca)
and/or Josh Lalor (jd.lalor@mun.ca) by March 9th, 2013.

Thank you.

CFP: Critical Anthropological Engagements with Mobility (AAA Annual Meeting 2013)

This is a call for papers for a session at the 2013 AAA Annual Meeting.



*** Apologies for cross-posting ***

CALL FOR PAPERS

*Critical Anthropological Engagements with Mobility*

American Anthropological Association Annual Meeting

Chicago Hilton, Chicago, November 20-24, 2013

*Organizers*

Noel B. Salazar (University of Leuven): noel.salazar@soc.kuleuven.be
<mailto:noel.salazar@soc.kuleuven.be>

Kiran Jayaram (Columbia University): kcj2103@columbia.edu
<mailto:kcj2103@columbia.edu>

*Panel Description*

Each paper in this panel will critically analyze one of the keywords in
mobility-related research, including: /(im)mobility/, /motility/,
/capital, imaginaries,/ /infrastructure/ and/regimes/.

*Abstract*

Boundary-crossing human mobility has been prevalent throughout history,
though recent discourses of globalization have conjured up novel
metaphors of "flow" through images of unfettered movement.Purposeful
mobilities, usually of the temporary kind, are widely accepted as a
desirable and even normative path towards success: career achievement
through educational exchange and work experience "elsewhere," and
well-being or quality of life achievement through tourism and lifestyle
migration.Across the globe, such forms of geographical movement are made
meaningful by being variously linked to the accumulation of economic
(resources), social (status) or cultural (cosmopolitanism)
capital.Partly influenced by neoliberal and free market imaginaries,
translocal mobilities have become one of the newest stratifying factors,
leading to a global hierarchy of movements, for as more people cross
physical borders and social boundaries, authorities resort to various
infrastructures and regimes of mobility to maintain control over these
movements.

In the past decade, social scientists investigating boundary-crossing
flows (primarily non-US anthropologists and US non-anthropologists) have
been developing a field of research that focuses on the multiple and
distinct movements of people, things, and ideas, the meanings of these,
and the associated experiences and imaginations of them.Mobility
studies, with its emphasis on agency, capital, regimes, and
stratification, enriches current understandings of globalization,
capitalism, and circulation across the planet, but as of yet, certain
key ideas have not been fully conceptualized.Inspired in part by the
(cultural) /Keywords/ (1976) of Raymond Williams, this panel seeks
original conceptual contributions that critically analyze
mobility-related keywords such as /(im)mobility/, /motility/, /capital,
imaginaries,/ /infrastructure/ and/regimes/.By design, the panel
presentations on each of these will form the foundation of an
intellectual conversation about the interrelationship between these
concepts and their analytical value for anthropological knowledge
production (and the social sciences at large).

Questions addressed include:

* /(Im)mobility/: What is the (analytical and empirical) relationship
between mobility and immobility?
* /Motility/: What social and cultural processes facilitate the
connection between motility and (im)mobility, and how do people
experience this?
* /Imaginaries of mobility/: What are the contours of power, agency,
and subjectivity in imaginaries of translocal mobility and the
intersecting social categories those visions both reify and dissolve?
* /Mobility capital/: How could the notion of mobility capital be
enriched by drawing upon the notion of capital as process (Marx)
rather than capital as a static commodity (Becker, Bourdieu)?Does
all mobility produce mobility capital?Are there qualitative or
quantitative differences in mobility capital?How is it possible to
be mobile and lose value?How do people, both those who move and
those who don't, use mobility capital?
* /Infrastructures of mobility/: What are the various infrastructures
put in place (legal-rational, financial, cosmic, etc.) for managing
the boundary-crossing flows of people?
* /Regimes of mobility/: Assuming there are various regimes of
mobility, what are the dynamics of them?Do race, gender, and
sexuality figure into these?How are these manifest?Where is the
regime of mobility located?How does it construct space and to what ends?

If you are interested in participating in this innovative panel, contact
both organizers*_by 10 March 2013_*.

Please submit your name, your affiliation, your contact details, a title,
and an abstract limited to 250 words. Clearly indicate which
mobility-related keyword you want to analyze. The earlier you contact us,
the more chance you have that the keyword of your choice will still be
available.
