Technoscience Salon - "Queering Evidence" - Toronto - November 28, 2014

QUEERING EVIDENCE

Salon Theme: The goal of this salon is to highlight the use of affect as a
lively and unsettling tactic or methodology. For example, queer
practitioners will
punctuate their arguments with personal anecdotes, charged imagery,
and raw emotions,
challenging the insistence that we are supposed to remain detached
when weighing the
evidence.

This salon asks: How might we queer and reinvent conventional modes of
thinking?

How can we morph the sensory organs of science to develop different ways of
seeing, touching, hearing, and smelling? How might we venture queer
stories that
capture and inspire new approaches to evidence? Read more about our
provocation here.

Presenters: Lauren Corman (Sociology, BrockU) and Mike Hoolboom (Award
winning filmmaker)

Discussants: Cate Sandilands (FES, YorkU) and Andrew Zealley (FES, YorkU)

WHEN: Friday, November 28, 2014, 4-6pm

WHERE: Studio 106, at Artscape Youngplace, at 180 Shaw Street

Boycott and Open Forum at AAA

(forwarded)

Format for December 4th Members' Open Forum on Engagement with Israel
and Palestine

Posted on November 13, 2014 by Joslyn O.

Today's guest blog post is written by Ed Liebow, Executive Director.
Last July's Anthropology News mentioned a variety of ways in which AAA
leadership is trying to foster dialogue and information exchange among
AAA members on anthropologically relevant issues related to
Israel/Palestine. We mentioned there that anOpen Forum would be held
at the Annual Meeting; it has now been scheduled forThursday 4
December, from 13:00 to 14:15 in the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel,
Ballroom Salon 2. Our goal is to facilitate dialogue among AAA
Members, bringing to bear on the conversation the culture of inquiry
and analytical skills characteristic of our profession.
The frame for the discussion is: what issues related to
Israel/Palestine are relevant to us as anthropologists, as members of
a scholarly association, and to the AAA as an association of
anthropologists?
Here is what you can expect at the Open Forum. The hall will be
arranged with a number of tables; the hall is large and we can
accommodate many small groups. You will be encouraged to sit with
people you do not already know well. There will be introductory
remarks from Monica Heller, the AAA President, a brief update on the
work of the AAA Task Force on Engagement on Issues related to
Israel/Palestine by the Task Force chair, AAA Past-President Don
Brenneis, and a short explanation of the forum's format by our lead
facilitator, Tarek Maassarani. The process will include an opening
round to build trust and familiarity amongst participants; several
discussion rounds with prompts to share what questions, knowledge,
perspectives, and experiences participants bring to the table; and a
reflective closing round to share insights and their relevance beyond
this one event.
Participants will also be given index cards that they can place in
feedback boxes as they leave the room. Facilitators will be asked to
fill out a reflection form immediately following the dialogue to help
us better understand what happened at each table. If there is time, we
might be able to hear from some of the facilitators before we need to
vacate the room. Since the objective at this stage is to foster
dialogue among members, we will check badges at the entrance.
Executive Board members, Task Force members, Section Assembly
leadership and AAA staff will likely attend as observers. We will ask
the press to respect our privacy during the Forum, though we are happy
for participants to speak to the press (or blog or tweet) before and
after the event. We are also open to considering further such events,
whether open only to members or not.

Call for IUAES-TOURISM regional representatives

Dear colleague,

This is a message from the International Union of Anthropological and
Ethnological Sciences Commission on the Anthropology of Tourism
(IUAES-TOURISM). The main objective of IUAES-TOURISM is to promote
the anthropology of tourism in the fields of research, teaching and
public dissemination. The Commission facilitates the networking
across the globe of people who share this interest. We want to
strengthen the global approach of the commission and to increase its
activities. We therefore invite anthropologists to become regional
representatives. The task of such a representative would be to
inform the global community (primarily via the mailing list and
social media) on issues, events, publications or opportunities
related to the anthropology of tourism in their respective area (or
beyond) and to forward information from IUAES-TOURISM to their
regional contacts and networks. This is a position of trust without a
heavy workload. We believe that a better regional coverage will
enable IUAES-TOURISM to become more truly global.

If you are an anthropologist and interested in becoming a
IUAES-TOURISM regional representative, please send
mari.korpela@uta.fi a short introduction of yourself, the region you
propose to cover, and your interests in the field of anthropology of
tourism. The deadline is Nov. 30th, 2014.

Yours, Mari Korpela, Noel B. Salazar and Yujie Zhu (the co-chairs of
the IUAES-Tourism)

CASCA2015 Panel CFP: Indigenous Knowledge Landscapes in Canada

Indigenous Knowledge Landscapes in Canada



This symposium will focus on issues of relations between settlers and
Indigenous peoples, particularly in Canada, and the role(s) that
anthropology could play in making a positive contribution to that
relationship. Foci include, but are not limited to, the relationship between
anthropology/ists and Indigenous and decolonizing methodologies and how we
are challenged by/ critical of/ welcoming of this emerging literature.
Examining the implications of re-readings of the history of the terms
Canadien and Métis and how they could potentially have an impact on the
contemporary debates surrounding definitions of Métis identity. Moves toward
more participatory approaches in collecting, selecting and managing
Indigenous-related records. How settlers and Indigenous peoples are using
various media to create new landscapes of knowledges, to stymie their
production or to reproduce old antagonisms. The role of anthropologists in
translating between police and corporations in land/resource conflicts.
Other foci are welcome.

Landscapes of Knowledges/Paysages des connaissances

(la version française suit)

Anthropology, especially since the 1980s, has continually re-examined
the modes for apprehending knowledge, that is, both the knowledge of
the groups it has studied and its own knowledge. From its very
foundation, and throughout its evolution since the 19th century,
anthropology has question and analyzed modes of knowing in various
languages and societies, pondering the related particularities of the
societies and cultures it has studied and sought to describe. But for
at least 25 years now, it has undertaken to radically criticize the
way it has accessed and then "represented" the knowledge of others.
The criticism voiced by the discipline's critical currents has
contributed to the deconstruction of knowledge in anthropology. This
deconstruction process, although essential, has also had a flip side,
notably the fact that—in appearance, anyway—it has all too often
alienated the discipline from its own object and methods. The critical
and deconstructionist enterprise has perhaps not sufficiently
emphasized what contemporary anthropology produces and is able to
produce. Without necessarily always taking into account all of the
questions raised in connection with the strengths and limitations of
the currents that have marked the discipline's renewal over the past
25 years, the latest ethnographies are unquestionably influenced by
what can be called the new landscapes of knowledge. Indeed,
contemporary ethnographies tend to be enriched by a focus, among other
things, on temporal spectrums (the importance of genealogical
approaches) and spatial spectrums (the importance of
multi-localization and geospatial approaches). The approaches that
were vividly called into question in the 1990s (for example,
postmodern approaches), and those considered to be too philosophical
today (for example, ontological approaches), are growing in
prominence, depth and scope, and allowing us to genuinely take stock
of the discipline and its canonical methodology. Moreover, they enable
a better balance to be struck between the subjective place of
anthropology with respect to its object, on one hand, and its
"objective" investigation methods, on the other. Transformations
within the discipline's interpretive, critical and methodological
frameworks—at times successive, at times simultaneous—are contributing
to enriching the landscapes of knowledges that are being constructed
and co-constructed, and that are now influencing all of the social and
cultural sciences. It is becoming possible to suppose that
anthropological theories, in their meta-paradigmatic and
transformative dimensions—both before and after the ethnographic
moment—are defining plural and regenerative perspectives on the
conditions for knowing the social worlds and groups that we have
studied, as well as on the conditions for representing and
disseminating this knowledge. The object of the discipline, i.e.,
social worlds in their complexity, heterogeneity, genealogy and
spatiality, requires novel forms of "re-cognition" on the part of all
actors. How to take into account social, individual and collective
worlds, subjectivities, socialities, singularities, ontologies,
languages and even the discipline itself as it is now developing
outside the circles from which it originated? After having assumed its
Western and colonial history, anthropology is developing in such a way
that it is now able to rethink the nature of its knowledge project, as
well as the knowledge of those whom it claims to know. Anthropology
has always been plural, in a sense, as a result of its diverse
theoretical currents, but today it is much more than that. The horizon
of a plurality of knowledges can no longer be seen only from the
perspective of the theoretical currents stemming from the West, but
also from the perspective of those stemming from studied groups (which
we might call the perspectives of social worlds, or ontologies). This
horizon must also be seen from the standpoint of the "scientific"
knowledge that is developing from many of these social worlds, that is
to say, anthropologies themselves (known as world anthropologies). As
a result, the discipline requires increasingly sophisticated and
decolonized ethnographic methods that will enable such perspectives to
emerge and to be defined.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER
The Keynote speaker is Tim Ingold, professor at the School of Social
Sciences at Aberdeen University, Scotland. Tim Ingold is proposing a
large and profound view of the discipline and of the worlds in which
anthropologists are engaged. Through fecund and stimulating dialogues
with a variety of disciplines like ecology, arts, philosophy,
archeology and architecture, this scholar of international reputation
is proposing novel ways to think the production of anthropological
knowledge. His recent trajectory, since the publication of The
Perception of the Environment (2000), is challenging the social
sciences and the humanities, through a series of provocative essays :
Lines (2007), Being Alive. Essays on movement, knowledge and
description (2011), and Making (2013).

Paysages des connaissances/ Landscapes of Knowledges

L'anthropologie, en particulier depuis les années 1980, n'a de cesse
de réinterroger les modes d'appréhension des connaissances, tant ceux
des groupes qu'elle étudie que les siens propres. À son fondement
même, et dans toute l'histoire de son évolution depuis le XIXème
siècle, l'anthropologie a questionné et analysé les modalités du
connaître dans différentes langues et sociétés, se posant la question
de la spécificité des modes de connaissances propres aux sociétés et
cultures qu'elle étudiait et dont elle voulait rendre compte. Or,
depuis maintenant au moins 25 ans, elle a entrepris de critiquer
radicalement la manière dont elle a accédé aux savoirs des autres et
les a ensuite « représentés ». La critique ouverte par ces courants a
contribué à la déconstruction des savoirs en anthropologie. Ce travail
de déconstruction, quoiqu'essentiel, a aussi eu ses revers, notamment
celui de rendre trop souvent, en apparence tout au moins,
l'anthropologie orpheline de son objet et de ses méthodes.
L'entreprise critique et déconstructionniste n'a peut-être pas
suffisamment mis l'accent sur ce que l'anthropologie contemporaine
produit et peut produire. Sans nécessairement répondre directement à
chaque fois à toutes les interrogations sur les forces et les limites
de tous les courants qui ont marqué le renouvellement de la discipline
depuis les 25 dernières années, les ethnographies les plus actuelles
sont certes influencées par ce qu'il convient de nommer les nouveaux
paysages des connaissances. Les ethnographies contemporaines tendent
en effet à s'enrichir par l'approfondissement, entre autres, des
spectres de la temporalité (importance des approches généalogiques) et
de la spatialité (importance de la multi-localisation et des approches
géo-spatiales). Les approches que l'on questionnait avec force dans
les années 1990 (par exemple, post-moderne), et celles que l'on
considère trop philosophiques aujourd'hui (par exemple, ontologique),
ont gagné en puissance, en profondeur et en étendue, et permettent un
réel retour sur la discipline et sa méthodologie canonique. Elles
permettent, en sus, un meilleur équilibre de la place subjective de
l'anthropologue eu égard à l'objet ainsi que de ses modes 'objectifs'
d'enquête. Les transformations, parfois successives, parfois
simultanées, au sein des appareils interprétatifs, critiques et
méthodologiques de la discipline contribuent à l'enrichissement des
paysages de la connaissance qui se construisent et se co-construisent
et influencent maintenant l'ensemble des sciences sociales et de la
culture. Il devient possible de supposer que les théories
anthropologiques, dans leurs dimensions métaparadigmatiques et
transformatrices, en amont comme en aval du moment ethnographique,
définissent des perspectives plurielles et régénératrices sur les
conditions du savoir sur les mondes sociaux et les groupes que nous
étudions ainsi que sur les conditions des représentations et les
modes de diffusion de ces mêmes savoirs. L'objet de la discipline,
soit les mondes sociaux dans leur complexité, leur hétérogénéité, leur
généalogie et leur spatialité, exigent de tous des formes inédites de
're'-'connaissance'. Comment prendre en compte les mondes sociaux,
individuels et collectifs, les subjectivités, les socialités, les
singularités, les ontologies, les langues, voire la discipline
elle-même telle qu'elle s'élabore dorénavant hors des cercles d'où
elle est issue ? L'anthropologie, après avoir assumé son histoire
occidentale et coloniale, se re-déploie de façon telle qu'elle en
arrive à repenser la nature de son projet de connaissance, en même
temps que des connaissances de ceux qu'elle prétend connaître.
L'anthropologie a toujours été en quelque sorte plurielle par les
divers courants théoriques qui l'ont traversée, mais elle est
aujourd'hui beaucoup plus que cela. En effet, l'horizon de la
pluralité du savoir ne peut dorénavant se penser uniquement depuis la
perspective des courants théoriques issus de l'Occident, mais aussi de
ceux qui viennent des groupes étudiés (que l'on pourrait appeler les
perspectives des mondes sociaux, ou les ontologies) de même que des
savoirs 'scientifiques' qui s'élaborent depuis plusieurs de ces mondes
sociaux, soit les anthropologies elles-mêmes (que l'on appelle les
world anthropologies). C'est pourquoi l'anthropologie exige des
méthodes ethnographiques de plus en plus raffinées et décolonisées de
façon à permettre que s'incarnent et se définissent de telles
perspectives.

CONFÉRENCIER INVITÉ
Le conférencier d'honneur est Tim Ingold, professeur à l'École des
sciences sociales de l'université d'Aberdeen, Écosse. Tim Ingold
propose une vue large et profonde de la discipline et des mondes avec
lesquels les anthropologues sont engagés. Par le biais de dialogues
féconds avec une variété de disciplines telles que l'écologie, les
arts, la philosophie, l'architecture et l'archéologie, cet
intellectuel de réputation internationale aborde de nouvelles manières
de penser la production du savoir anthropologique. Sa trajectoire
récente, depuis son ouvrage The Perception of the Environment (2000),
défie les sciences sociales et les humanités à travers une série
d'essais provocants et stimulants, dont Lines (2007), Being Alive.
Essays on movement, knowledge and description (2011) et Making (2013).

Bruno Latour - A Primer in SCIENTIFIC HUMANITIES
ABOUT THE COURSE

"Scientific humanities" means the extension of interpretative skills
to the discoveries made by science and to technical innovations. The
course will equip future citizens with the means to be at ease with
many issues that straddle the distinctions between science, morality,
politics and society.

The course provides concepts and methods to :

learn the basics of the field called "science and technology studies",
a vast corpus of literature developed over the last forty years to
give a realistic description of knowledge production
handle the flood of different opinions about contentious issues and
order the various positions by using the tools now available through
digital media
comment on those different pieces of news in a more articulated way
through a specifically designed blog.
Course Format : the course is organized in 8 sequences It displays
multimedia contents (images, video, original documents)

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR


BRUNO LATOUR

Professor at Sciences Po

Bruno Latour was trained as a philosopher and an anthropologist. From
1982 to 2006, he has been professor at the CSI (Ecole des mines) in
Paris. He is now professor at Sciences Po where he created the
medialab in 2009. He became famous for his social studies of science
and technology. He developed with others a widely known theory called
"Actor Network Theory".

http://www.bruno-latour.fr/

WHO CAN ATTEND THIS COURSE ?

The course is designed for undergraduates but since the topic of
scientific humanities is not widely known, it will be of interest for
graduates and for the general public as well. It does not require a
degree in science and technology.

RECOMMENDED BACKGROUND

The course is available in english and the assignments must be done in
English.

COURSE SYLLABUS

Week 1: How to patrol the borderline between science and politics?

Week 2: How to find one's way in the scientific literature?

Week 3: How to handle technical innovations?

Week 4: How to deal with controversies?

Centre of Canadian Studies, University of Edinburgh – 2015 Conference CANCELLED

The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in
Scotland, with registration number SC005336.
Due to changing circumstances, the School of Social and Political
Science cannot confidently anticipate the Centre of Canadian Studies's
capacity to make timely preparations for the full range of its
previously scheduled 2014/15 programme of events.

The School therefore, with regret, announces that the Centre's May
2015 Conference - Decolonization in the Digital Age - is cancelled.

This regret is especially pronounced in respect of those who have
submitted abstracts for papers, and/or who may have prepared plans to
attend.

Our apologies for the inconveniences, and disappointments.

Yours sincerely


Ada Munns
Centre Secretary
Centre of Canadian Studies

on behalf of
Neil Willett
Director of Professional Services
School of Social and Political Science
