CASCA (Canadian Anthropology Society/La société canadienne d’anthropologie) Meeting
“Promising Uncertainties: Unsettling Future of Anthropological Terrain”
April 30 to May 2, 2014
York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Panel Session Proposal: Travelling in an Uncertain Future
Uncertain Futures provokes themes relevant for tourism and its study in anthropology. We invite proposals for papers that address the uncertainties, the paradoxes, and the ambiguities that affect received notions and long-standing practices of tourism in the context of: climate change; catastrophic weather; environmental disaster; bio-politics and regulation of border crossing through such things as racial profiling and body scanning; new forms of non-commercial hospitality (i.e. couch surfing); critical demographic and population shifts (for example, the ageing of the ‘travel-mad’ ‘baby boom’ generation, the evaporation of the middle class, or the destabilizing affects of wide-spread youth unemployment); the limits of new tourism markets and tenacious touristic desire to ‘get there before it is too late’; adventure travel in active war zones or emergent and ongoing sites of revolution, protest and uprising; the portend of future global crises, be they economic, resource-driven, or bio-medical. This list is intended to be suggestive rather than limiting. Papers that detail either the ethnographic examination of such scenarios or explore methodological considerations in light of them are encouraged.
Please send abstracts of no more than 150 words for papers to Susan Frohlick (Susan.Frohlick@umanitoba.ca) or Julia Harrison (jharrison@trentu.ca) by February 12, 2014
