présentent

Chasse aux têtes, chasse aux cerfs : échange de vie et fertilité de
l'homme chez les
Kavalan de Taiwan
Pi-chen Liu

Mardi, 1 avril
12 h 00 à 13 h 30
Pavillon des sciences sociales, pièce 4012
Amorcée à la fin des années 1980, la démocratisation de Taiwan a offert
aux peuples
aborigènes de nouvelles opportunités d'affirmer leur place au sein de la
société en
revivifiant leur culture dont la chasse aux têtes constitue l'un des piliers.
Interdite durant l'occupation japonaise de l'île (1895-1945), celle-ci
n'est plus
pratiquée aujourd'hui, mais les rituels qui lui sont liés n'en restent pas
moins au
centre des cosmogonies et des notions fondamentales liées à la
construction de
l'individu, à l'identité et aux liens sociaux. Bien que transformés, les
rituels
liés à cette pratique se perpétuent dans les villages où ils constituent un
événement majeur auquel les jeunes, émigrés vers les villes se doivent de
participer. De plus, ces activités culturelles attirent dorénavant une
manne
touristique et des financements de l'État.
Par l'analyse des différents mythes et rituels kavalan, le recueil des
récits nous
mettra en lumière les liens qui associent la chasse aux têtes, l'origine
mythologique des groupes voisins, la fertilité des hommes, la chasse au
gibier
(cerf) et les événements naturels (la pluie) au sein d'un système de
représentation
symbolique que nous tenterons de comprendre dans une perspective
politico-religieuse.

Pi-chen Liu, est titulaire d'un doctorat d'anthropologie sociale obtenu à
l'école
des hautes études en science sociale de Paris. Elle a enseigné
l'anthropologie au
sein du département de la culture aborigène à l'université de Donghua
(Taiwan) de
2004 à 2006. Depuis 2006, elle occupe un poste de chercheuse au sein de
l'Institut
d'Ethnologie de l'Academia Sinica. Elle a fondé un groupe de recherche
spécialisé
sur les chamans et les rituels dans le contexte contemporain. Elle a
publié un
ouvrage intitulé Identité, genre et tribu: étude du changement rituel chez
les
Kavalan (médaille de la publication nationale en 2009), ainsi que de
plusieurs
articles consacrés aux rituels chamaniques chez deux peuples aborigènes de
Taiwan,
les Amis et les Kavalan. Ces deux ethnies pratiquaient la chasse aux têtes
jusque
dans les années 1920, et constituaient des sociétés matrilinéaires et
matrilocales
jusque dans les années 1970. Pi-chen s'intéresse à l'étude de la relation
dialectique entre la construction du genre et le chamanisme dans ces
sociétés.

L'inscription n'est pas requise.

Nationwide Memorial Vigil for Loretta Saunders, Montreal

Nationwide Memorial Vigil for Loretta Saunders,
Montreal

Thursday, March 27, 2014
5pm
Place Norman-Bethune (intersection of Guy and de Maisonneuve West)
Montreal, QC

On February 13, 2014 Loretta Saunders, a young Inuk woman disappeared from
Halifax, Nova Scotia. Two weeks later when her body was found we were
again reminded that our work to stop violence against Indigenous women and
girls is far from over. At the time of Loretta's disappearance, she was
working on a masters degree and researching the cases of missing and
murdered Indigenous women in Canada. Loretta was dedicated to ending the
violence that she had witnessed others experience.

On March 27th, groups all over Canada will be coming together to honour
Loretta's life and her dedication to ending violence against Indigenous
women and girls. In her honour, we will be sending a strong and loud
message to governmental officials to say that this will not be tolerated,
that Indigenous women are valued in our communities and that we will not
stand silent and allow this violence to continue.

Please join us at 5pm at Place Norman-Bethune for a candle lit vigil. With
drumming and singing by Odaya, and other guests.

CASCA: ÉLECTIONS: APPELS DE CANDIDATURES/ELECTIONS: CALL FOR NOMINATIONS

(la version française suit)


ELECTIONS: CALL FOR NOMINATIONS
CASCA is an open, participatory association and all members are eligible
to serve on the executive committee. Nominees are asked to submit a short
biography and platform statement. 

DEADLINE FOR NOMINATIONS: APRIL 18, 2014

Call for nominations to the following two CASCA executive positions:
1) Secretary
2) Communications Officer

Nominations should be emailed or mailed to:
 
Susan Vincent
CASCA Secretary
Department of Anthropology
St. Francis Xavier University
PO Box 5000
Antigonish, Nova Scotia  B2G 2W5
svincent@stfx.ca

For further information on the responsibilities of CASCA executive
members, please contact either the Secretary or:
 
Lorne Holyoak
CASCA President
ltholyoak@yahoo.ca
 
1) Secretary (two year term)
 
The Secretary is the information officer of the association. This includes
responsibilities such as: managing communications among the executive;
maintaining current contact information for members of the executive;
arranging September and January executive meetings by Skype, phone or
similar means; taking minutes of executive meetings and at the Annual
General Meeting; recording motions approved between formal meetings;
archiving CASCA documents in Dropbox; managing elections for executive
positions, including advertising calls for nominations in English and
French on the CASCA website, through the membership e-list, and at the
AGM, as appropriate, and issuing and tallying ballots as necessary;
serving as a member of the Salisbury Committee; preparing documents for
the AGM (agenda, minutes, etc.); submitting an annual report in English
and French on her or his activities, including the results of elections;
updating the Operations manual as necessary; filing annual reports with
Corporations Canada; along with related responsibilities.

2) Communications Officer (three year term)
As a growing organization seeking to meet the needs and expectations of a
diverse clientele (faculty, students, practicing colleagues, and many
others), the Communications Officer is responsible for guiding the
development of a communications strategy that will both promote the work
being done by anthropologists across the country and facilitate
communication among members of the society, the larger profession and the
general public. The CASCA Communications Officer is responsible for
overseeing the association's main communication tools (website,
newsletter, and Facebook group), as well as seeking to develop new
communication tools to improve links between members and to promote CASCA
and anthropology to the larger public. The Communications Officer will be
responsible for continuing to develop and improve the content and delivery
of the website while working with both fellow members of the executive and
the membership manager, as well as any site design company that is hired.
Though the Communications Officer will have to learn how to add and manage
content on the CAS-SCA.ca website, the position also requires a
forward-thinking individual to seek out new and innovative ways of
organizing and presenting the information to our members and the public.
As such, the position does not require an expert in web design and
computer technology, but does call for an individual to be creative and to
learn some basic skills in order to better understand the mechanics of the
website and thus to be properly able to develop a larger communications
strategy to expand the content and delivery of the website. The
Communications Officer is responsible for overseeing the Anthropologica.ca
website and works with the two members at large as well as the graphic
designer to plan and deliver the bi-annual newsletter Culture.
Additionally, the Communications Officer should seek to find new
communications tools and to develop a network of volunteers in order to
develop the content that will be communicated. The position of
Communications Officer is for a three year term.

comité exécutif de la CASCA, veuillez écrire au secrétaire ou à :
 
Lorne Holyoak
Président de la CASCA

1) Secrétaire (mandat de deux ans):
Le secrétaire joue le rôle d'agent de communication pour l'Association.
Entre ses responsabilités: gérer les communications entre les membres de
l'exécutif; maintenir à jour les coordonnées des membres du comité;
organiser les conférences de l'exécutif en septembre et en janvier par
Skype, par téléphone ou autres moyens; rédiger les procèsverbaux des
réunions du comité exécutif et de l'Assemblée générale annuelle; rédiger

verbal de l'an passé, etc.); soumettre un rapport annuel en français et en
anglais sur ses activités, incluant les résultats des élections; mettre à

Canada annuellement; et autres responsabilités pertinents au poste.

2) Responsable des communications  (mandat de trois ans).
Dans une association en expansion qui cherche à répondre aux besoins de sa
clientèle (professeurs, étudiants, professionnels, et autres), le
responsable des communications guidera le développement d'une stratégie de
communication qui permettra la mise en valeur du travail des
anthropologues dans tout le pays et facilitera les échanges entre les
membres de l'association, les autres anthropologues et le public en
général. Le responsable des communications de la CASCA gèrera les outils
de communication de l'association (site web, bulletin d'information, et
page Facebook). Il cherchera à mettre sur pied d'autres outils qui
amélioreront les liens entre les membres et feront la promotion de la
CASCA et de l'anthropologie auprès d'un large public. Il continuera à
améliorer le contenu et le fonctionnement du site web en travaillant de
concert avec les autres membres du comité exécutif, la responsable des
adhésions, et la compagnie de design de site web qui sera retenue. Le
responsable des communications devra savoir ajouter du contenu au site
web, mais le poste exige surtout que le titulaire soit avant-gardiste et
trouve des façons innovantes de structurer et de présenter les
informations à nos membres et au public. Le poste ne requiert pas que le
titulaire du poste soit expert en design de site web et en technologies
informatiques mais plutôt qu'il soit créatif et capable d'acquérir les
connaissances de base qui faciliteront sa maitrise du site web et la
réalisation des tâches qui lui incombent. Le responsable des
communications gère le site web d'Anthropologica et veille, en
collaboration avec les deux membres actifs du comité exécutif et le
graphiste, à la publication semestrielle du bulletin d'information
Culture. De plus le responsable des communications devra mettre sur pied
un réseau de volontaires qui l'assisteront dans le développement du
contenu du site web. La durée de ce mandat est de 3 ans.

Correction - L'AGA aura lieu le 1er mai/The AGM will take place on May 1st

(English follows)


Urgent! La CASCA a besoin de votre présence à l'AGA 2014

Chers collègues,

La Société canadienne d'anthropologie est incorporée en tant que société
à but non lucratif en vertu de la Partie II de la Loi sur les
corporations canadiennes. De récentes modifications de cette loi ont
rendu ces dispositions obsolètes, ce qui signifie que nous devons
présenter une demande de prorogation selon les dispositions de la
nouvelle Loi canadienne sur les organisations à but non lucratif.

Si cette demande n'est pas présentée avant octobre 2014, la CASCA, en
tant que société, sera légalement dissoute.

Nous avons besoin de votre collaboration afin d'éviter que cela se produise.

En vue d'obtenir une prorogation, et d'ainsi maintenir le statut de
société à but non lucratif et d'organisme de bienfaisance de la CASCA,
nous devons présenter une version révisée des statuts de
l'organisation et conforme aux exigences de la nouvelle loi. Ces statuts
devront être présentés devant un quorum des membres de la société lors
de l'Assemblée générale annuelle (AGA), qui se tiendra à l'Université
York durant le colloque annuel, le 1 mai 2014, à 12h30.

Si vous envisagez de participer au colloque annuel, veuillez vous faire
un devoir d'assister à l'AGA. Même si vous ne participerez pas au
colloque, mais que vous êtes membre de la CASCA et serez à Toronto lors
de l'AGA, veuillez considérer de vous présenter à l'assemblée pour le
vote.

Vous recevrez les nouveaux statuts d'ici le 1er avril 2014 par
courriel. Ils seront aussi affichés sur le site de la CASCA
(http://www.cas-sca.ca) à cette date.

On retrouve également à l'ordre du jour de l'AGA des rapports du comité
exécutif sur l'état de la société et la présentation des
membres honorifiques fondateurs nommés pour l'année 2014. Il y aura
aussi un gâteau pour célébrer le 40e anniversaire de la Société.

N'oubliez pas que les statuts ne pourront être présentés si nous
n'atteignons pas le quorum au début de l'AGA. Le vote concernant les
statuts de l'organisation doit se faire en personne, il est donc très
important que vous soyez à l'AGA. Je compte sur votre présence au
colloque et à l'Assemblée générale annuelle le 1 mai prochain.

Urgent! CASCA needs your attendance at the 2014 AGM

Dear Colleagues,

The Canadian Anthropology Society is incorporated as a non-profit
corporation under Part II of the Canada Corporations Act. Recent changes
to the law have rendered these provisions obsolete, which means that we
must apply for a continuance under the provisions of the new Canada
Not-for-Profit Corporations Act.

Unless we do so before October 2014, CASCA will be legally dissolved as
a corporation.

Action is required on your part to ensure that this does not happen.

In order to qualify for a continuance, and therefore to maintain our
status as a not-for-profit corporation and our charitable status, CASCA
must submit revised bylaws that conform to the requirements of the new
act. These bylaws must be passed by a quorum of members of the society
at the Annual General Meeting, which will be held at York University
during the annual conference, on May 1st, 2014, at 12:30.

If you will be attending the annual conference, please make it a point
to attend the AGM. Even if you are not attending the conference, but are
a CASCA member and will be in Toronto on the day of the AGM, please make
a point of being present for the vote.

The new bylaws will be sent to you directly by April 1st, 2014 by email,
and they will also be posted on the CASCA website
(http://www.cas-sca.ca) on the same date.

The AGM will also include reports from the executive on the state of the
society and the introduction of CASCA's "Founding Fellows" for 2014.
There will also be a cake to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the
society.

Remember, the bylaws cannot be passed unless we succeed in attaining a
quorum of members at the beginning of the AGM. The current bylaws
require you to vote in person, so your attendance is critical. I look
forward to seeing you at the conference and at the Annual General
Meeting on May 1st.

Sincerely,
Lorne Holyoak
President, CASCA

Urgent! La CASCA a besoin de votre présence à l'AGA 2014

Chers collègues,

La Société canadienne d'anthropologie est incorporée en tant que société
à but non lucratif en vertu de la Partie II de la Loi sur les
corporations canadiennes. De récentes modifications de cette loi ont
rendu ces dispositions obsolètes, ce qui signifie que nous devons
présenter une demande de prorogation selon les dispositions de la
nouvelle Loi canadienne sur les organisations à but non lucratif.

Si cette demande n'est pas présentée avant octobre 2014, la CASCA, en
tant que société, sera légalement dissoute.

Nous avons besoin de votre collaboration afin d'éviter que cela se produise.

En vue d'obtenir une prorogation, et d'ainsi maintenir le statut de
société à but non lucratif et d'organisme de bienfaisance de la CASCA,
nous devons présenter une version révisée des statuts de
l'organisation et conforme aux exigences de la nouvelle loi. Ces statuts
devront être présentés devant un quorum des membres de la société lors
de l'Assemblée générale annuelle (AGA), qui se tiendra à l'Université
York durant le colloque annuel, le 2 mai 2014.

Si vous envisagez de participer au colloque annuel, veuillez vous faire
un devoir d'assister à l'AGA. Même si vous ne participerez pas au
colloque, mais que vous êtes membre de la CASCA et serez à Toronto lors
de l'AGA, veuillez considérer de vous présenter à l'assemblée pour le
vote.

Vous recevrez les nouveaux statuts d'ici le 1er avril 2014 par
courriel. Ils seront aussi affichés sur le site de la CASCA
(http://www.cas-sca.ca) à cette date.

On retrouve également à l'ordre du jour de l'AGA des rapports du comité

Upcoming Talk:

Nicole Constable
"The Global Politics of Migrant Labor, Gender, and Everyday Life"

Monday, March 24, 2014
4-5:30 PM

Burnside Hall 426,
McGill University
Montreal, QC
Nicole Constable's (Department of Anthropology, University of Pittsburgh)
talk focuses on the everyday challenges faced by temporary migrant
workers, especially migrant women from the Philippines and Indonesia who
become pregnant in Hong Kong.
Various factors – especially the migratory status of their partners –
deeply color their own and their children's opportunities and
vulnerabilities. Migrant mothers' stories point not only to their creative
tactics for survival, but also to ever-growing global patterns of economic
inequality and to the wider politics of privilege and precarity that
define and limit their life choices. The stories of migrant mothers and
their babies in Hong Kong may seem unique, but they echo many contemporary
problems and vulnerabilities faced by temporary migrants the world over.

This talk draws from recent anthropological and ethnographic fieldwork,
and from my forthcoming book entitled: Born Out of Place: Migrant Mothers
and the Politics of International Labor (University of California Press,
2014).
Co-sponsored by the Department of Sociology and the Institute for Gender,
Sexuality, and Feminist Studies.

Upcoming Talk:

Sarah Franklin: After IVF: Is the Future of Reproduction Technological?
Thursday, March 20, 2014,
3:00-5:00 PM

Social Studies of Medicine,
McGill University, 3647 Peel Street, Room 101
Montreal, QC

Sarah Franklin's (Department of Sociology, University of Cambridge) talk
looks both forward and back at what is meant by the phrase 'reproductive
technology' and examines how 'new reproductive technologies' might be
related to older technologies of kinship, gender, sex. Examining in
particular the transformation of the human embryo into a tool, and the
wider technologization of reproductive substance at the IVF-stem cell
interface, this talk explores the changing relationship between the
biological and the technical in contemporary bioscience.

Cosponsored by the department of Social Studies of Medicine, the Institute
for Gender, Sexuality and Feminist Studies (IGSF) and the Situating
Science cluster.

Upcoming Presentation: Implementing the New Deal - Building Peaceful States

Monday, March 24
University of Ottawa


The New Deal is a key agreement between fragile states and partners to
change the policy and practice of engagement.

Presentation by the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade, and Development
(DFATD), the Journal of Peacebuilding and Development, CIPS and the
Fragile States Research Network.

The New Deal for Engagement in Fragile States could transform the way the
international community practices peacebuilding and state-building. To
what extent is that so, two years after the New Deal was signed? How do
advances vary by pilot country and by goal? Why – in terms of practices by
key FCAS governments, civil society organisations and donors? How could
Canada, the private sector and others contribute to implementing the New
Deal, in countries like the DRC?

A diverse group of senior and mid-level actors involved in New Deal
implementation has been invited to Canada to share their views, including:

-HAFEEZ MUSA ALI WANI: National NGO Focal Point, the New Deal, South Sudan
NGO
Secretariat, South Sudan

-FRANSESCA BOMBOKO: Co-chair of the IDPS Indicators Working Group; National
Coordinator of the Poverty Observatory, Ministry of Planning, Democratic
Republic of the Congo

European Centre for Development Policy Management (ECDPM); Technical
Adviser, G7+ secretariat

Affairs, The New School; Chief Editor, Journal of Peacebuilding &
Development

Petition: Loretta Saunders' death.

There's a new petition taking off on Change.org, and we think you might be
interested in signing it:

Hon. Kellie Leitch, Minister for the Status of Women: Call a public
inquiry into hundreds of missing and murdered Aboriginal women like my
cousin Loretta Saunders

By Holly Jarrett
Cornwall

Sign Holly's Petition

Last month, my cousin Loretta Saunders was murdered at age 26. She was a
student at St. Mary's University in Halifax and was writing her honours
thesis on the hundreds of missing and murdered Aboriginal women in Canada.

Our family is Inuit, and Loretta has now become one of the over 800
missing or murdered Aboriginal women she was fighting for. It is time for
our government to address this epidemic of violence against Aboriginal
women.

Last week, we broke down when we learned Loretta's body had been found in
a ditch beside the Trans-Canada Highway in New Brunswick. Our family is
gathering strength and we will not let her death be in vain. We will fight
to complete Loretta's unfinished work.

Please sign this petition and call on Federal Minister for the Status of
Women Kellie Leitch to immediately call a public inquiry into missing and
murdered Aboriginal women in Canada. The Native Women's Association of
Canada and other groups have worked on this for years and I started this
petition to support them and to demand justice for Loretta.

We need to know why it is that Aboriginal girls and women like Loretta are
five to seven times more likely to die as a result of violence than
non-Aboriginal women. This is what a public inquiry must address
immediately so that action can be taken to stop these tragedies and
protect aboriginal girls and women in Canada.

The Government has so far ignored calls for a public inquiry. If they
don't act the tragedies will continue. The epidemic of racist and sexist
violence against Aboriginal women in Canada is claiming lives and
devastating families each month.

It boils down to a simple question. Does the Canadian Government think
it's a problem that Aboriginal women are 5-7 times more likely to die from
a violent attack? Right now, we don't know. I'm praying that Loretta's
death and tens of thousands calling for the inquiry will finally move them
to do the right thing.

I travelled from Labrador to St.Johns with Loretta when she left home. We
talked about our Inuit roots, our family and our pasts and how we looked
at our future as an opportunity to create change and different more
healthy cycles and family patterns. We spoke about the topic of
aboriginal women going missing and being killed. We joked about how she
would change the world, but it wasn't really a joke at all. Loretta HAS
changed the world and. I'm determined that Loretta will continue to change
the world.

Please sign this petition and demand justice for Loretta and all
Aboriginal women.

As mentioned the Native Women's Association of Canada has worked on this
issue for years and has already collected 23,000 signatures calling for a
public inquiry. Here is a link to their site as well as their document
explaining in more detail why a public inquiry is needed.
