CASCA2015 panel CFP: Associations at Work: Theorizing the Everyday Practices of Organizations

Associations at Work: Theorizing the Everyday Practices of Organizations

Session Co-Organizers: Laura Eramian (Dalhousie University) and Alicia
Grimes (York University)

Anthropologists of diverse theoretical leanings have increasingly
undertaken ethnographic studies of organizations, but what special
insights about the nature of modern social life and modern work does
organizational ethnography provide? This panel invites papers that
investigate the everyday practices of organizations across a range of
ethnographic settings, including (but not limited to) development and
humanitarian agencies, post-conflict peace building organizations,
non-profit/voluntary organizations, cultural or civic organizations,
regulatory bodies, private sector office settings, or public
sector/government organizations. We seek contributions that engage
with the theoretical, methodological, and ethnographic contributions
of organizational ethnography and its limits. In a broad sense, this
panel addresses the question of how the study of organizations and
bureaucratic assemblages contributes to understandings of how
collective projects unfold, encounter friction, succeed, and fail.

Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

- What is "organized" about organizations? How do formality and
informality intersect in
organizational practices? How and by whom do the categories of
formality and informality get configured?

- Knowledge production, document production, and the
circulation/blockage of information and resources in organizational
structures

- The rules and practices underlying organizational reporting, or the
translation of measurements into narratives about organizational
values and project outcomes

- "Reputation management" and the stories that organizations tell
about themselves

- What do practices of measurement and reporting say about the social
auditing of organizational visions and the trust in projected outcomes?

- "Organization building" as a form of "community building"

- The contributions of organizational ethnography to anthropological theory

- The friendships and other relationships that constitute the practice
of organizational
ethnography and the role of the ethnographer in the organization

We invite contributions that deal with the issues outlined above
and/or related issues. Please send us an abstract of 100-150 words by
January 30, 2015 to leramian@dal.ca and amgrimes@yorku.ca.

CASCA 2015 Panel Appel à communication/CFP: Creative Landscapes of Knowledge: Audio/Visual Approaches and Ethics/Paysages de création des connaissances: Approches audio/visuelles et éthiques

Panel CFP: Creative Landscapes of Knowledge: Audio/Visual Approaches
and Ethics
(Version française ci-dessous)

Annual Conference of the Canadian Anthropology Society
Department of Anthropology, Université Laval (Québec)
May 13-16, 2015

This panel discusses the creative potentials of anthropologists in
designing, conducting and evaluating research. It addresses how
innovative approaches, more specifically in engaging with audio/visual
media and productions, can challenge conventional methodologies in
anthropology by proposing novel ways of conducting research, which
reconfigure epistemological and ethical questions and dimensions of
research. In other words, it engages with alternative ways of
designing, making, and interweaving to build creative landscapes of
knowledge. For instance, audio-visual methodologies allow for the
emergence of multisensory routes (Pink 2009) to bridge embodied
experiences and forms of representation. Drawing lines and being
attentive to movement (following Ingold 20111; 2013) leave traces that
reveal patterns of improvisation, spontaneous adaptation and
appropriation that capture vibrant dimensions of social life.
Locative, participative and immersive media offer alternative avenues
in developing place-based methodologies and context-based texts. In
looking at methodologies that bridge art and anthropology, media and
place-based research, improvisational technics in theatre,
participative and immersive strategies among others, this panel wishes
to explore creativity, not just as an abstract concept but as applied
to the work of anthropologists and of the people with whom they engage
with. In this sense, this panel discusses novel forms of re-cognitions
on the part of all actors involved in a research project.

We invite anthropologists, artists, designers, bloggers and other
members of the creative industries at large to submit a 100-150 words
proposal, accompanied by a list of keywords, name(s) of author(s),
institution(s) of affiliation and correspondence(s) information to
Alexandrine Boudreault-Fournier, Department of Anthropology,
University of Victoria (alexbf@uvic.ca) and Karoline Truchon, Centre
for Oral History and Digital Storytelling, Concordia University
(k_trucho@live.concordia.ca) before January 22, 2015. You will receive
notification of acceptance on January 30, 2015.

Appel à communication: Paysages de création des connaissances:
Approches audio/visuelles et éthiques

Conférence annuelle de la Société Canadienne d'Anthropologie
Département d'anthropologie, Université Laval (Québec)
13-16 mai 2015

Cet atelier examine les potentiels créatifs des anthropologues dans la
conception, la réalisation et l'évaluation de la recherche. Nous
désirons nous interroger sur les approches novatrices, plus
spécifiquement celles reliées aux productions audio/visuelles, et
comment celles-ci peuvent remettre en question les méthodes classiques
de l'anthropologie en proposant de nouvelles façons de faire de la
recherche tout en reconfigurant les questions épistémologiques et
éthiques. En d'autres termes, cet atelier souhaite proposer d'autres
manières de concevoir, de fabriquer et d'entrecroiser des paysages
créatifs de connaissances. Par exemple, les méthodes audio/visuelles
permettent l'émergence de voies multisensorielles (Pink 2009) pour
combler des expériences incarnées et des formes de représentation.
Dessiner des lignes et être attentif au mouvement (Ingold 2011; 2013)
laissent des traces qui nous permettent de mieux saisir les formes
d'improvisation, d'adaptation et d'appropriation spontanées qui
donnent à la vie sociale son caractère dynamique. Les médias locatifs,
participatifs et immersifs offrent des voies alternatives à
l'élaboration de méthodologies axées sur le lieu (place-based) et de
textes tenant en compte le contexte de leur production
(context-based). En se penchant sur les méthodologies qui créent un
pont entre l'art et l'anthropologie, des médias et de la recherche
axée sur le lieu, les techniques d'improvisation en théâtre, les
stratégies participatives et immersives, entre autres, cet atelier
entend explorer la créativité, non seulement comme un concept abstrait
mais aussi selon les modalités d'application des anthropologues et des
personnes avec lesquelles nous établissons des relations. En ce sens,
cet atelier discute de nouvelles formes de reconnaissance de la part
de tous les acteurs impliqués dans un projet de recherche.

Nous invitons les anthropologues, artistes, designers, blogueurs et
autres membres des industries de la création en général à soumettre
une proposition de 100 à 150 mots, accompagné d'une liste de
mots-clés, nom(s) de l'auteur(s), institution(s) de rattachement et de
correspondance(s) à Alexandrine Boudreault-Fournier, Département
d'anthropologie, Université de Victoria (alexbf@uvic.ca) et à Karoline
Truchon, Centre d'histoire orale et de récits numérisés, Université
Concordia (k_trucho@live.concordia .ca) avant le 22 janvier 2015. Vous
recevrez un avis d'acceptation le 30 janvier 2015.

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).

Statement against Misogyny and Gendered Violence

Dear Colleagues and Friends from the Dalhousie community, and
university communities across Canada, or beyond,

I am one of the originators of the public statement against misogyny
related to the Dentistry school gendered violence issue at Dalhousie.
The statement is gathering support very quickly.

Please do have a look, and add your name (signing contact can be found
on the page) if you are in support. We've got to get this addressed
fully and correctly. We are seeking an Independent Inquiry among
other actions.

http://impactethics.ca/2014/12/19/statement-against-misogyny-and-gendered-violence/

And then share this link widely. There is a place on the list for
Dalhousie community members (of any affiliation), and for folks from
beyond Dal to add their names and support.

Our aim is to help protect those most vulnerable, and to get our
institution on the road to fixing itself, and bringing an end to
gendered violence on our campuses, and in aid of campuses everywhere.

CFP: Family Care and E-motions in Contexts of Transnational Migration (CASCA 2015)

CASCA (Canadian Anthropology Society/ Société canadienne d'anthropologie)

*Annual Conference/Colloque annuel*

*Landscapes of Knowledges/Paysages des connaissances*

*Université Laval, Québec, 13 – 16 mai 2015*

CALL FOR PAPERS/APPEL À COMMUNICATIONS

PANEL:

*Family Care and E-motions in Contexts of Transnational Migration*

ORGANIZERS/ORGANISATRICES:

*Angélica H. Silva, Université de Montréal*

*Aranzazu Recalde, McGil**l University*

Our panel looks at processes of home-making and caregiving as these
intersect with international mobility under current forms of neoliberal
capitalism. We examine the embodied, everyday, experiences and
circumstances of migrant women and men who engage in (re)creating home
abroad while caring transnationally and locally for diverse relatives. Our
panel pays particular attention to life projects, household trajectories
and life cycles; the unequal and shifting caring roles performed by diverse
family members, which are shaped by cultural, kinship and gendered
expectations often endorsed by states; the emotional and socio-economic
considerations underpinning decisions to migrate or be "on the move"; the
increasingly restrictive migration/citizenship regimes implemented by
(many) states, which have produced temporary and precarious forms of
membership for those considered undeserving; and the diverse uses of
Internet communication technologies to (re)imagine and (re)negotiate a
sense of belonging among members of transnational families. Our panel seeks
to shed light on the role that e-motions play in determining mobility as
well as on the caregiving practices, experiences and circumstances of
diversely positioned family members and others considered kin in contexts
of south-north, south-south, north-north and north-south migrations.

We invite papers in English and French that, drawing on diverse analytical
and methodological perspectives, examine some of the above-mentioned or
related issues. If interested, please, send us your abstract (100-150
words) by February 1, 2015 to aranzazu.recalde@mail.mcgill.ca and
angelica.si.higuera@umontreal.ca*.*

Reminder/Rappel: CASCA2015 Panel CFP: Indigenous Knowledge Landscapes in Canada

Reminder/Rappel

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.

Images et polyphonie des savoirs - Festival de films pr=?utf-8?Q?=C3=A9sent=C3=A9?= par la CASCA/Images and Polyphonic Knowledges - Film Festival by CASCA

(English follows)

Images et polyphonie des savoirs

Festival de films présenté par la CASCA
13 au 16 mai 2015
Université Laval – Anthropologie

*APPEL DE FILMS*

Nous invitons anthropologues, étudiants, réalisateurs et artistes à
soumettre leur film à Images et polyphonie des savoirs, un festival de
films ethnographiques qui s'inscrit dans le cadre du colloque annuel
de la Société canadienne d'anthropologie (CASCA) qui se tiendra du 13
au 16 mai 2015 à l'Université Laval, à Québec.

Pour ce festival, nous sommes heureux de nous associer avec le comité
organisateur de CASCA 2015. Cette année, le thème du congrès de la
CASCA est «Paysages des connaissances/Landscapes of Knowledges» (voir
http://cas-sca.ca/fr/colloque/prochaine-colloque/colloque-2015/164-french/conference-fr/1090-colloque-2015-description)

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. 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). 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.

Le comité de sélection accordera une priorité à des films qui entrent
dans la thématique du congrès et s'inscrivent dans une démarche
ethnographique.

Date limite pour la soumission : 15 février 2015

Critères d'admissibilité :
- Le film doit avoir été produit après le 1er janvier 2010
- Remplir le formulaire de soumission ici:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1jEKlXlmi0nSCKOvxaynTA20SXLnRkjCsq1yYB5taKYM/viewform?usp=send_form

IMAGES AND POLYPHONIC KNOWLEDGES
Film Festival by CASCA

May 13– 16, 2015
Université Laval – Anthropology
* CALL FOR FILMS*

We invite anthropologists, students, filmmakers and visual artists to
submit their film to IMAGES AND POLYPHONIC KNOWLEDGES, an ethnographic
film festival that will take place at Université Laval, Quebec, in the
French area of Canada, from May 13 - 16, 2015.

For this festival, we are pleased to team up with the organizing
committee of the Canadian Anthropology Society Annual Conference 2015
(CASCA). This year's CASCA conference theme is « Landscapes of
Knowledges ».(see
http://www.cas-sca.ca/fr/colloque/prochaine-colloque/colloque-2015 for
more details).

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. 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). As a result, the discipline requires increasingly
sophisticated and decolonized ethnographic methods that will enable
such perspectives to emerge and to be defined.

The selection committee will give priority to the films that deal with
the theme of the conference and have an ethnographic approach.

Deadlines for submissions: February 15, 2015.

Eligibility :
-The film has to be produced after January 1st, 2010
-Fill the submission form here:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1mxOdZtKec2oa7f-oSM8WXPnLtq14uQX8Fj2COyqqplk/viewform?usp=send_form

Addressee : Frédéric Laugrand
Pavillon Charles-De Koninck, bureau 3431
1030, Avenue des Sciences-Humaines
Université Laval, Québec (Québec), Canada

Please note that the DVD copy will remain part of the Department of
Anthropology's collection, Université Laval.
