Summer school "Sexuality and Morality"
Lisbon, 21-26 April, 2014

Intensive Course on Sexuality and Morality
Intensive Course

Sexuality and Morality: Intercultural Perspectives and Mediations

Lisbon, Lisbon University Institute

Third edition: 13-18 January, 2014

Fourth edition: 21-26 April, 2014

The course "Sexuality and Morality: Intercultural Perspectives and
Mediations" will be held at the Lisbon University Institute (ISCTE-IUL),
in Lisbon, Portugal, from the 13th to the 18th of January 2014, and from
the 21st to the 26th of April 2014.

Around 20 participants will be accepted.

Scholarships are available from the Grundtvig Program funded by The European
Commission (see below). Please note that the deadline for applying for these
scholarships is the 17th of September 2013.

Objectives and Rationale

From the very beginnings of anthropology the entanglements of sexuality
and morality have captured the imagination of scholars, challenging their
normative assumptions and calling into question their descriptive and
interpretative tools. What can be said of these entanglements at the
beginning of the 21st century, after decades of research on the matter?
Are there still unbroken taboos in the social sciences? How are we to
understand sexuality and morality, and how can these issues be
investigated? How are relations between sexuality and morality being
(re)defined? What is the role of religion, politics, and commerce in
(re)shaping these relations?
How can anthropology improve our understanding of such complex
entanglements?

Presented by Donna Mergler Professor Emerita in the Department of
Biological Sciences of the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM)
Do contrasting social expectations along with biological differences lead
men and women to be affected differently by environmental contaminants
like mercury or pesticides? How do gender and sex interact and impact
population health? Professor Donna Mergler has authored more than 150
scientific articles and has given many lectures around the world on the
subject, and will share her research on how to promote social and gender
considerations when conducting environmental health research.

Biography: Professor Emerita Donna Mergler has been a professor of
physiology and environmental health since 1970. Her research in
environmental and occupational health, conducted in Quebec, Canada, and
several Latin American countries, focuses on the early effects of exposure
to environmental contaminants (mercury, manganese, pesticides, organic
solvents, persistent organic pollutants) on the nervous systems of
children and adults. She is a member of the Centre for Interdisciplinary
Research
on Biology, Health, Society and Environment (CINBIOSE), a collaborating
centre of the World Health Organization and the Pan American Health
Organization (WHO-PAHO).
Currently, she leads the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR)
Emerging Team on Gender, Environment and Health and she is co-coordinator
of the Community of Practice in Ecosystem and Health in Latin America and
Caribbean (CoPEH-LAC).
About the CEC: The Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) is an
intergovernmental organization that supports the cooperative environmental
agenda of Canada, Mexico and the United States to green North America's
economy, address climate change by promoting a low-carbon economy, and
protect its environment and the health of its citizens. The CEC brings
together governments, civil society, and businesses to develop innovative
North American solutions to global environmental challenges. Find out more

Led by York theatre professors Laura Levin andMarlis Schweitzer, the
Performance Studies (Canada) Project is a SSHRC-funded research study that
explores how the field of performance studies has developed in Canada over
the past few decades. The project seeks to bring together performance
studies researchers located in Canada to share their work, identify major
works of performance theory on Canadian subjects that have been left out
of American-centred mappings of the field, and ask how institutional and
cultural conditions have produced alternative articulations of
"performance" in Canadian contexts.

Promising Uncertainties:
Unsettling the Future of Anthropological Terrain /

Incertitudes fructueuses:
Troubler l'avenir du terrain de l'anthropologie

(la version française suit)

What can uncertainty promise? Documenting indeterminacy, diversity,
disunity and contingency is both a political commitment as well an
empirical claim.
The 2014 CASCA conference theme seeks to draw out a range of questions
including but not limited to: what forms of social and cultural
engagements are possible when ambiguity rather than certainty is the
central concern of anthropological enquiry and/or ethnographic
practice? In what manner and to what extent does uncertainty unsettle
neo-liberal processes of classification, transparency and
accountability? Does a revolutionizing capitalism's search for new markets
foster promise and ambiguity? How does the measurement and management of
uncertainty under the monikers of 'risk', 'choice' and 'rights' affect
political, social and ethical debates about domains as diverse as
immigration, identity politics, technology, art, media, security, health,
environment, and the economy? What are the paradoxes that underpin or
might emerge out of an anthropological engagement with uncertainty? What
might be the intended and unintended outcomes of drawing on this paradigm
for anthropology's interlocutors? What forms of ethnographic practice
might uncertainty give rise to and/or destabilise?
While CASCA 2014 aims to stimulate discussions and critical
reflections on the theme of uncertainty, presentations that fall
outside of the proposed theme will also be considered.

Keynote Speaker
The Keynote speaker is Dr. Didier Fassin, the James D. Wolfensohn
Professor of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study,
Princeton. Originally trained as a physician, his early research in
medical anthropology focused on the AIDS epidemic, mortality
disparities, and global health. More recently, his research has
focused on critical moral anthropology which explores the influence of
moral forms on everyday judgment and action, and on international
humanitarianism or asylum granting. He is the author of several books
including When Bodies Remember: Experiences of AIDS in South Africa (UC
Press, 2007) and Humanitarian Reason. A Moral History of the
Present (UC Press, 2011). More recently his work has focused on the
police, the prison, and the National Court of Asylum in France. His most
recent book is Enforcing Order: An Ethnography of Urban Policing (Polity
Press, 2013).

Incertitudes fructueuses:
Troubler l'avenir du terrain de l'anthropologie

De quelle façon les incertitudes sont-elles fructueuses, voire
prometteuses, pour l'anthropologie? Documenter l'indéterminisme, la
diversité, la division et la contingence se présente à la fois comme un
engagement politique et une revendication empirique. Le thème du colloque
annuel de la CASCA a cette année pour objectif d'explorer un éventail de
questions incluant, sans y être limitées, les suivantes: quelles sont les
formes d'engagement social et culturel possibles
lorsque l'ambigüité, plutôt que la certitude, devient la préoccupation
centrale de l'enquête anthropologique et de la pratique
ethnographique? De quelle façon, et dans quelle mesure, les
incertitudes dérangent-elles la mécanique néolibérale, comme les
procédés de classification, de transparence et d'imputabilité? Un
capitalisme révolutionnaire, toujours en quête de nouveaux marchés,
favorise-t-il des perspectives ambigües et prometteuses? Comment la
gestion et la mesure des incertitudes appelées parfois 'risque',
'choix' et 'droits' influent-elles les débats sociaux et éthiques de
domaines aussi divers que l'immigration, la politique identitaire, la
technologie, les arts, les médias, la sécurité, la santé,
l'environnement et l'économie? Quels sont les paradoxes qui sont
sous-jacents et qui émergent d'un engagement anthropologique avec
l'incertitude? Que pourraient être les répercussions, intentionnelles ou
non, de ce paradigme à l'étude pour les interlocuteurs variés avec
l'anthropologie? Quelles sont les différentes formes de pratiques
ethnographiques qui pourraient être déstabilisées ou au contraire
fortifiées par une approche caractérisée par l'incertitude?
Alors que l'édition 2014 du colloque de la CASCA a pour objectif de
stimuler les discussions et les réflexions critiques sur le thème de
l'incertitude, les soumissions traitant de sujets qui diffèrent du thème
proposé seront aussi considérées.

Conférencier invité
Le conférencier invité est le Dr. Didier Fassin, chaire de James D.
Wolfensohn, professeur de sciences sociales à l'Institute for Advanced
Study de Princeton. Initialement formé en tant que médecin, ses
premières recherches en anthropologie médicale ont été axées sur
l'épidémie liée au SIDA, les disparités de mortalité et la santé
mondiale. Plus récemment, ses recherches ont porté sur l'anthropologie de
la critique morale qui explore l'influence des formes morales sur le
jugement quotidien et l'action, ainsi que sur l'humanitarisme
international ou l'asile d'octroi. Il est l'auteur de plusieurs
livres, incluant When Bodies Remember: Experiences of AIDS in South Africa
(UC Press, 2007), ainsi que Humanitarian Reason. A Moral
History of the Present (UC Press, 2011). Depuis quelque temps, ses travaux
ont porté sur la police, la prison, et la Cour nationale du droit d'asile
en France. Son livre le plus récent s'intitule Enforcing Order: An
Ethnography of Urban Policing (Polity Press, 2013).

CASCA 2014

York University,
Toronto, Canada
30 avril - 3 mai, 2014
(http://casca2014.apps01.yorku.ca/french/)

Incertitudes fructueuses:
Troubler l'avenir du terrain de l'anthropologie

De quelle façon les incertitudes sont-elles fructueuses, voire
prometteuses, pour l'anthropologie? Documenter l'indéterminisme, la
diversité, la division et la contingence se présente à la fois comme un
engagement politique et une revendication empirique. Le thème du colloque
annuel de la CASCA a cette année pour objectif d'explorer un éventail de
questions incluant, sans y être limitées, les suivantes: quelles sont les
formes d'engagement social et culturel possibles
lorsque l'ambigüité, plutôt que la certitude, devient la préoccupation
centrale de l'enquête anthropologique et de la pratique
ethnographique? De quelle façon, et dans quelle mesure, les
incertitudes dérangent-elles la mécanique néolibérale, comme les
procédés de classification, de transparence et d'imputabilité? Un
capitalisme révolutionnaire, toujours en quête de nouveaux marchés,
favorise-t-il des perspectives ambigües et prometteuses? Comment la
gestion et la mesure des incertitudes appelées parfois 'risque',
'choix' et 'droits' influent-elles les débats sociaux et éthiques de
domaines aussi divers que l'immigration, la politique identitaire, la
technologie, les arts, les médias, la sécurité, la santé,
l'environnement et l'économie? Quels sont les paradoxes qui sont
sous-jacents et  qui émergent d'un engagement anthropologique avec
l'incertitude? Que pourraient être les répercussions, intentionnelles ou
non, de ce paradigme à l'étude pour les interlocuteurs variés avec
l'anthropologie? Quelles sont les différentes formes de pratiques
ethnographiques qui pourraient être déstabilisées ou au contraire
fortifiées par une approche caractérisée par l'incertitude?
Alors que l'édition 2014 du colloque de la CASCA a pour objectif de
stimuler les discussions et les réflexions critiques sur le thème de
l'incertitude, les soumissions traitant de sujets qui diffèrent du thème
proposé seront aussi considérées.

Conférencier invité
Le conférencier invité est le Dr. Didier Fassin, chaire de James D.
Wolfensohn, professeur de sciences sociales à l'Institute for Advanced
Study de Princeton. Initialement formé en tant que médecin, ses
premières recherches en anthropologie médicale ont été axées sur
l'épidémie liée au SIDA, les disparités de mortalité et la santé
mondiale. Plus récemment, ses recherches ont porté sur l'anthropologie de
la critique morale qui explore l'influence des formes morales sur le
jugement quotidien et l'action, ainsi que sur l'humanitarisme
international ou l'asile d'octroi. Il est l'auteur de plusieurs
livres, incluant When Bodies Remember: Experiences of AIDS in South Africa
(UC Press, 2007), ainsi que Humanitarian Reason. A Moral
History of the Present (UC Press, 2011). Depuis quelque temps, ses travaux
ont porté sur la police, la prison, et la Cour nationale du droit d'asile
en France. Son livre le plus récent s'intitule Enforcing Order: An
Ethnography of Urban Policing (Polity Press, 2013).

CASCA2014: CFP - Religion, Migration and Uncertainties

Call for papers, 2014 Annual Conference of the Canadian Anthropology
Society (CASCA)
April 30 - May 3

Proposed Panel: Religion, Migration and Uncertainties
While migration has never been so expansive in history, migrants, more
than others, are exposed to increasing uncertainty associated with the
politics and economy of their host countries, such as administrative
decisions about their legal status or employment insecurity. These
uncertainties might be addressed by migrants in their religious practice
or by religious communities that sometimes support migrants facing
precarious situations, for example, when challenging migration policies,
discrimination or exclusion. Uncertainty also allows for an affective
space of possibility, a creative realm of the miraculous and the ability
to ethically reflect on the past and present. An emphasis on the
uncertainty of migration provides a subtle yet important shift of
attention, from the problems that religious adherents share and resolve,
to how a religious life is experienced and actively expressed in the face
of such challenges and difficulties. This panel invites papers addressing
questions around migration, religion and uncertainties, for example: How
are uncertainties generated by migrants addressed and formulated in
religious settings? How does the creation of meaning around uncertainty
rely on religious practice and discourse? As uncertainty refers to a lack
of predictability, how are religious chronotopes, conceptions of history
or destiny relevant in providing a meaning for uncertain times? How does
uncertainty provide an impetus for critical stances towards migration
issues and the imagining of new ways of being?

CASCA2014: CFP - Unsettling practices: the ambiguities of religion and technology

I am organizing a panel for the upcoming CASCA conference to be held
at York University in Toronto, ON, Canada April 30-May 3rd, 2014.

If you are interested in joining please submit a 150 abstract and
title to me by Thursday February 13th, 2014.

Best regards,
Laurie Baker
York University

Panel Abstract:

Proposed title: Unsettling practices: the ambiguities of religion and
technology

This panel engages the uncertain, and often precarious, relationship
between religious practice and technology. Emerging from a renewed
attention to the material world of things, we seek to engage the
excesses, ambiguities and risks that unsettle religious practices.
This incitement and attention follows from the technologization of
religious practice and how it is met by an anthropological attention
to meaning: what can the use of technology mean for the present and
future of religious practice? In response to religious meaning-making,
Engelke and Tomlinson use failure to point to the limits of meaning
"as a process and potential fraught with uncertainty and contestation"
(2006:2, see also Keane 1997). In light of this argument, the papers
in this panel address the lingering precariousness and broader
processes that practitioners negotiate as they engage with the worlds
of material things amidst the promise and threat of uncertain futures.

Potential questions:

How do technological things, in the context of religious practice,
provoke uncertainty? How do things ashew attempts to render them
stable and certain?

How is the conflux of religious certainties and uncertainties
negotiated amidst changing social circumstances?

How can ambiguity, and the promise that loose threads (broadly
defined) can never be neatly tied, provoke new ways of understanding
the complexities of religious practice?

How have uncertainties been framed and/or mitigated by religious
practitioners in and through their uses of technology?

CASCA2014: The Transforming Landscape of the Ethnography: A Sponsored Round-Table Discussion

The Transforming Landscape of the Ethnography: A Sponsored Round-Table
Discussion
Conveners: Michael Lambek (U Toronto) and Naomi Adelson (York U)

With the passing of UTP Editor Virgil Duff, and in his honour, we are
convening a round-table conversation to engage established and
emerging authors and editors at University of Toronto Press on the
changing place of ethnography within Anthropology. Anthropological
Horizons Series and Anthropology in the Classroom Series authors and
UTP editors are being asked to consider the value and impact of
ethnographies in the context of the changes in the discipline and in
the world, and especially in the transforming publication landscape
since the first book was published in the Anthropological Horizons
series in 1991. What, for example, is the value of the ethnography to
the intellectual advancement of our discipline? Alternatively, what is
the professional value of the publication? What should be our
publishing priorities and what is and has been the role Canadian
academic presses in supporting them?

This event will include an informal lunch sponsored by the University
of Toronto Press, York University's Faculty of Liberal Arts &
Professional Studies and the Centre for Ethnography at the University
of Toronto, Scarborough.
Graduate students are encouraged to attend.

Date: Wednesday, April 30th
Time: 12:30 - 2 pm
Place: TBA

CASCA roundtable on "collaboration"

Anyone interested in participating in this informal roundtable
discussion should feel free to get in touch. The abstract follows:

Roundtable on the 'Promising Uncertainties' of "Collaboration" in
Anthropology Today

What does it mean to "collaborate" in, with, and through
anthropological research and writing today? While collaborations of
one sort or another have always figured in anthropological work, the
dynamic politics and complex processes of "collaboration" itself have
arguably never been more prominent in the field, as exemplified in
recent sources like the journal Collaborative Anthropologies,
guidebooks like Lassiter's Chicago Guide to Collaborative Ethnography,
and edited collections like Konrad's Collaborators
Collaborating:Counterparts in Anthropological Knowledge and
International Research Relations. What are we to make of this recent
fluorescence in "collaboration" discourse in anthropology? What
promise and uncertainties might we associate with this development?
And, most significant of all, how might we think critically about the
complex processes to which the term "collaboration" has been applied
in recent years while trying to plan or negotiate the practicalities
of the very real collaborations in which we have become/are becoming
involved, whether by our own or others' design?

Researchers (students researchers, especially) who are on the verge,
or in the midst, of a "collaborative" research project are especially
encouraged to attend. Given sufficient interest, we intend to use this
gathering as a springboard for planning a future workshop or set of
conference panels at which key themes emerging from the roundtable
discussion might be further addressed.

CFP: CASCA2014 - Uncertain Energy Futures: Anthropological Engagements with Labour, Locality and Financial Speculation - deadline February 12th

Uncertain Energy Futures: Anthropological Engagements with Labour,
Locality and Financial Speculation

Organizers: Rylan Higgins - Saint Mary's University (Rylan.Higgins@smu.ca)
Dan Houser - Carleton University (dan_houser@carleton.ca)


Since at least WWII, humans have been progressively incorporated into
economic systems wherein petroleum is increasingly determinative. As
the necessary, limited, and strategic resource of our time, arguably
this energy form rivals even food and shelter as a basic need, given
that much of what we eat and use for shelter ultimately depends on
petroleum. While our appetite for petroleum is astonishing, the vigor
and doggedness that mark our quest for both hydrocarbons and/or
sustainable alternatives to it are equally noteworthy. Though Canada
is a prominent player in these processes, as a society, we know
relatively little about the impacts and implications of them. This
panel is comprised of reports on anthropological work attempting to
fill this knowledge gap, by providing critical and in-depth insights
on a range of socio-cultural and economic aspects of hydrocarbons and
alternative energy forms.

If interested, please send abstracts of 150 words or less to Dan
Houser or to Rylan Higgins by February 12, 2014.

CASCA2014: Call for paper - Uncertain Languages: Education and the Mediation of Bilingualism in the Changing National and Global Contexts - Reminder: Deadline February 11th

(Reminder: Deadline February 11th)


Uncertain Languages: Education and the Mediation of Bilingualism in the
Changing National and Global Contexts

Recent approaches in linguistic anthropology have attempted to historicize
language ideologies to highlight the historical conditions which allowed
for their emergence. Contemporary studies trace bilingualism's
problemization to 19th century efforts to create a homogenous population
within nation-state, which imbued bilingualism with contradictory
meanings: problematic amongst peripheral populations, yet prestigious
amongst the elite who could speak across national boundaries. With this in
mind, we explore how current trends - the globalization of markets, the
rise of the service economy, the commodification of languages - are
affecting the way bilingualism can be used, interpreted and articulated.
More specifically, we are interested in the role of education in
reorienting the possibilities of meanings of bilingualism in the new
political economy. Our inquiries explore how national and global ideas
about bilingualism intersect in relation to education to construct
particular bodies, ideas of prestige, and to secure or challenge access to
resources.

The discussant for this panel is Dr. Monica Heller.

Deadline: February 11th

Interested people can send their abstract to
camille.roussel@mail.utoronto.ca or christopher.little@mail.utoronto.ca.
