Indigenous Knowledge Landscapes in Canada
(reminder/rappel)
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.

CASCA 2015 panel CfP: Revisiting the Role of Anthropologist as the Starting Point for Anthropological Investigation
CASCA 2015 panel CfP: Revisiting the Role of Anthropologist as the
Starting Point for Anthropological Investigation
(Reminder/Rappel)
Contemporary anthropological research reflects important shifts
generated in our discipline in recent decades. While these exciting
turns include increased attention to genealogical approaches, new
approaches to space and place, and the incorporation of novel
theoretical and ontological concerns, this panel asks in what ways
does anthropological investigation continue to be fundamentally
influenced by the researcher as a socially-situated subject? As the
walls and boundaries between faculties come down, how are
anthropologists (re)envisioning their role as researchers and their
discipline within broader contexts in and beyond the academy?
A key question we wish to explore in this panel is how our own
perspectives as researchers and otherwise socially-situated subjects
present a key thread, starting point, or lens of understanding in our
ethnographic research. We are also interested in understanding how
these perspectives have influenced our position on interdisciplinary
teams or, in applied research settings.
We invite abstracts that consider how the anthropologist as a
particularly situated subject impacts the point(s) from which projects
may begin, or profoundly influences the direction or outcome of the
investigation. Proposals may consider the anthropologist's:
- positionality relative to key research questions and participants;
- disciplinary background (for instance, coming to anthropology from
another discipline);
- prior or current career experience outside of the academy;
- personal or political associations;
- unexpected turns unique to the researcher.
Please send an abstract of no more than 150 words (+ author contact
information, title, keywords) by February 1st, 2015 to the panel

CFP: Family Care and E-motions in Contexts of Transnational Migration (CASCA 2015)
*Reminder/Rappel*
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*.*

CASCA2015: Panel Call for Papers/Appel à communication - Contemporary Landscapes of Difference. A Critical Assessment of Keywords

Organizers:
Phillip Rousseau (IRTG Diversity, Université de Montréal)

***an International Research Training Group Diversity (IRTG) Diversity
initiative***
Constantly ostracized or celebrated, suppressed or hyped up, rejected
or embraced, difference is
replete with ambiguities in our contemporary worlds. Oscillating
feverishly between promises of
open process and closed fixity, it is enthusiastically hailed as both
a problem and a solution, as its
numerous uses and abuses firmly embed themselves in much of the
surrounding social
fabric. Idealized and regulated, it is at the basis of the
establishment of many institutionalized
mechanism of social cohesion, through processes of inclusion and
exclusion. Considered at times
a fundamental feature of any social order or a simple epiphenomenon of
other dynamics,
difference is constantly on the verge of being 'it' and dissipating
into thin air.
In order to think difference today (and what is different today), this
panel proposes to critically
engage with some of the traditional and emerging keywords with which
knowledge is
consistently attempting to apprehend, accentuate or minimize the
presence and pretences of
difference (its meanings, practices, politics, and effects). By
tackling both empirical and
theoretical dimensions of this crucial issue, we wish to draw a few
lines in the highly complex
contemporary landscapes of difference. Concretely, this panel seeks
original conceptual and
interdisciplinary contributions that critically analyze
difference-related keywords such as culture,
diversity, ethnicity, race, civilization, tolerance, mediation,
cultural industries, translation,
creolization, religious pluralism, multiculturalism, interculturalism,
secularism, citizenship,
agency, the Other, racism, xenophobia, stereotype, intersectionality,
ontologies, etc.*
* These are a few suggested concepts, others can, of course, be proposed.
Proposals should be no more then 150 words in length, include 5
keywords and sent to
both: philliprousseau@yahoo.ca and mchaince@hotmail.com.

CASCA2015 Roundtable Call for Participants - Landscapes of Knowledge: Teaching Anthropology in Canada Today
(Reminder/Rappel)
Casca 2015 Roundtable Call for Participants -- Landscapes of
Knowledge: Teaching Anthropology in Canada Today
In recent years, the educational climate within Canadian university
contexts has changed dramatically. The democratization of universities
since the 1960's, coupled with the increased availability of
government-sponsored student loans, has made postsecondary education a
prerequisite for "middle class" employment, and students therefore
expect to find middle class jobs upon graduation. In addition,
neoliberal restructuring policies of various governments and
university administrations, coupled with changing student demographics
and increasing tuition rates have challenged many of the traditional
roles, values, and expectations of academia. Postsecondary education,
many complain, has been reduced to a game of metrics, with educators
feeling pressure to retain students (and their tuition dollars) by
tailoring course offerings to meet perceived student demands, or to
expand or repackage undergraduate programmes at the expense of
disciplinary depth and breadth. Within this co!
ntext, professors and teaching assistants also grapple with
changing high school curricula that deemphasize writing and critical
thinking skills. As a result, university educators worry that most
first year students are unprepared to meet the demands and rigors of
traditional university pedagogy. To address the increasing numbers and
demands of undergraduates, there has also been an increasing reliance
upon underpaid and oftentimes overworked sessional or contract
faculty, as well as the implementation of new "teaching track"
positions.
The goal of this roundtable is to spark a productive dialogue about
teaching anthropology within this neoliberalized landscape of
knowledge. We invite postsecondary educators within anthropology to
share their teaching experiences, and to foster a dialogue surrounding
the following questions/issues:
- What are the challenges for teaching anthropology within an
increasingly pragmatic, "job-oriented" student culture, and how do we
address them?
- How can anthropology be used to develop critical
awareness/thinking/writing skills among students?
- How does the imposition of student "client-based" models of pedagogy
affect us as teachers of anthropology? What does it mean to engage
students in this context? What strategies do we use to work within, or
even against, this model?
- How is the discipline impacted by the development of two-tiered
streams of professorships (teaching track versus research stream)?
- How does this new landscape affect contract teachers of anthropology?
- How are instructors engaging with administrative pressures to
incorporate various teaching technologies in the classroom? What
technologies (if any) do you find most helpful in teaching critical
thinking skills?
If you are interested in participating in this Roundtable, then please
contact Maggie Cummings (mcummings@utsc.utoronto.ca) and Karen McGarry
(mcgarry@mcmaster.ca) by February 1. Please forward a brief outline of
your teaching experience and tell us which questions you are
interested in discussing.

CASCA 2015 Session Proposal - Knowledges of Landscapes: Differential Chronotopes and the Experience, Representation, and Meanings of Land
(Reminder/Rappel)
CASCA 2015 Session Proposal
Knowledges of Landscapes: Differential Chronotopes and the Experience,
Representation, and Meanings of Land
Western frameworks, reflecting their development within
urban-industrial regimes in which landscapes are not and perhaps
cannot be lived, suggest that knowledge of and appreciation for
landscape are phenomena of other spaces and/or times. In relation, and
regardless of how they are peopled, 'natural' and 'pristine'
landscapes are diminished in cosmopolitan modernity. Objectified,
suffused with romanticism and nostalgia, mediated, packaged and
ritually consumed as tourism and heritage, and yet effectively
forgotten on an everyday basis amid rapid social and technological
change, landscapes nevertheless remain intrinsic and central
contributors to personal, ethnic, and national subjectivities and thus
can also become important tropes for reification and resistance. Given
these contexts, how is the landscape to be appreciated, known,
experienced, represented, mediated, recorded? How are anthropologists
to know the landscapes of others? Do landscapes and other related
figurations of persons in material space and time become resurgent in
response to modernity and indeed hyper/supermodernity?
Interested contributors are invited to submit an abstract of at most
150 words, accompanied by contact and affiliation information and a
short list of keywords, by February 1, 2015, to session organizer

2015 Topic for U. C. Press's International Competition
*INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING COMPETITION CALIFORNIA SERIES IN PUBLIC
ANTHROPOLOGY*
*The California Series in Public Anthropology encourages scholars in a
range of disciplines to discuss major public issues in ways that help the
broader public understand and address them. Two presidents (Mikhail
Gorbachev and Bill Clinton) as well as three Nobel Laureates (Amartya Sen,
Jody Williams, and Mikhail Gorbachev) have contributed to the Series either
through books or forwards. Its list includes such prominent authors as
Paul Farmer co-founder of Partners in Health, Kolokotrones University
Professor at Harvard and United Nations Deputy Special Envoy to Haiti.*
Each year the Series highlights a particular problem in its international
call for manuscripts. The focus this year will be on *STORIES OF
INEQUALITY**.*
We are particularly interested in authors who convey both the problems
engendered by inequality as well as ways for addressing it. Prospective
authors might ask themselves: How can they make their study "come alive"
for a range of readers through the narration of powerful stories? They
might, for example, focus on the lives of a few, select individuals tracing
the problems they face and how they, to the best of their abilities, cope
with them. Prospective authors might examine a specific institution and
how, in various ways, it perpetuates inequality. Or authors might describe
a particular group that seeks to address a facet of the problem. There are
no restrictions on how prospective authors address *STORIES OF INEQUALITY*
– only an insistence that the proposed publication draw readers to its
themes through the inclusion of powerful stories about real people. The
series is directed at the general public as well as college students.
The University of California Press in association with the Center for a
Public Anthropology will review proposals for publication independent of
whether the manuscripts themselves have been completed. We are open to
working with authors as they wind their way through the writing process.
The proposals can describe work the author wishes to undertake in the near
future or work that is currently underway. *The proposals submitted to the
competition should be 3-4,000 words long and describe both the overall work
as well as a general summary of what is (or will be) in each chapter.* We
expect the completed, publishable manuscripts to be between 250-300 pages
(or 60,000-100,000 words) long excluding footnotes and references.
Examples of the types of analyses we are looking for include:
*Death Without Weeping: The Violence of Everyday Life in Brazil* by Nancy
Scheper-Hughes
*Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity*
by Katherin Boo
*Imperial Reckoning: The Untold Story of Britain's Gulag in Kenya* by
Caroline Elkins
*American Dream: Three Women, Ten Kids, and a Nation's Drive to End Welfare*
by Jason DeParle
*Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital* by
Sheri Fink
*There Are No Children Here: The Story of Two Boys Growing Up in the Other
America* by Alex Kotlowitz
We are interested in establishing committed, supportive relationships with
authors that insures their books are not only published but are well
publicized and recognized both within and beyond the academy. We are
committed to insuring the success of winning proposals.
*DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS APRIL 21, 2015*
Submissions should be emailed to: bookseries@publicanthropology.org with
the relevant material enclosed as attachments. They can also be sent to:
Book Series, 707 Kaha Street, Kailua, HI. Questions regarding the
competitions should be directed to Dr. Rob Borofsky at:

CASCA2015: Panel Call for Papers/Appel à communication - Contemporary Landscapes of Difference. A Critical Assessment of Keywords
CASCA 2015 Panel CFP / Appel à communication: Contemporary Landscapes
of Difference. A Critical Assessment of Keywords
Organizers:
Phillip Rousseau (IRTG Diversity, Université de Montréal)
Marie-Claude-Haince (University of the Witwatersrand, IRTG Diversity)
***an International Research Training Group Diversity (IRTG) Diversity
initiative***
Constantly ostracized or celebrated, suppressed or hyped up, rejected
or embraced, difference is
replete with ambiguities in our contemporary worlds. Oscillating
feverishly between promises of
open process and closed fixity, it is enthusiastically hailed as both
a problem and a solution, as its
numerous uses and abuses firmly embed themselves in much of the
surrounding social
fabric. Idealized and regulated, it is at the basis of the
establishment of many institutionalized
mechanism of social cohesion, through processes of inclusion and
exclusion. Considered at times
a fundamental feature of any social order or a simple epiphenomenon of
other dynamics,
difference is constantly on the verge of being 'it' and dissipating
into thin air.
In order to think difference today (and what is different today), this
panel proposes to critically
engage with some of the traditional and emerging keywords with which
knowledge is
consistently attempting to apprehend, accentuate or minimize the
presence and pretences of
difference (its meanings, practices, politics, and effects). By
tackling both empirical and
theoretical dimensions of this crucial issue, we wish to draw a few
lines in the highly complex
contemporary landscapes of difference. Concretely, this panel seeks
original conceptual and
interdisciplinary contributions that critically analyze
difference-related keywords such as culture,
diversity, ethnicity, race, civilization, tolerance, mediation,
cultural industries, translation,
creolization, religious pluralism, multiculturalism, interculturalism,
secularism, citizenship,
agency, the Other, racism, xenophobia, stereotype, intersectionality,
ontologies, etc.*
* These are a few suggested concepts, others can, of course, be proposed.
Proposals should be no more then 150 words in length, include 5
keywords and sent to

CASCA 2015 Session Proposal - Knowledges of Landscapes: Differential Chronotopes and the Experience, Representation, and Meanings of Land
CASCA 2015 Session Proposal
Knowledges of Landscapes: Differential Chronotopes and the Experience,
Representation, and Meanings of Land
Western frameworks, reflecting their development within
urban-industrial regimes in which landscapes are not and perhaps
cannot be lived, suggest that knowledge of and appreciation for
landscape are phenomena of other spaces and/or times. In relation, and
regardless of how they are peopled, 'natural' and 'pristine'
landscapes are diminished in cosmopolitan modernity. Objectified,
suffused with romanticism and nostalgia, mediated, packaged and
ritually consumed as tourism and heritage, and yet effectively
forgotten on an everyday basis amid rapid social and technological
change, landscapes nevertheless remain intrinsic and central
contributors to personal, ethnic, and national subjectivities and thus
can also become important tropes for reification and resistance. Given
these contexts, how is the landscape to be appreciated, known,
experienced, represented, mediated, recorded? How are anthropologists
to know the landscapes of others? Do landscapes and other related
figurations of persons in material space and time become resurgent in
response to modernity and indeed hyper/supermodernity?
Interested contributors are invited to submit an abstract of at most
150 words, accompanied by contact and affiliation information and a
short list of keywords, by February 1, 2015, to session organizer
Nicola Mooney (University of the Fraser Valley) at: nicola.mooney@ufv.ca

CASCA2015 Roundtable Call for Participants - Landscapes of Knowledge: Teaching Anthropology in Canada Today
Casca 2015 Roundtable Call for Participants -- Landscapes of
Knowledge: Teaching Anthropology in Canada Today
In recent years, the educational climate within Canadian university
contexts has changed dramatically. The democratization of universities
since the 1960's, coupled with the increased availability of
government-sponsored student loans, has made postsecondary education a
prerequisite for "middle class" employment, and students therefore
expect to find middle class jobs upon graduation. In addition,
neoliberal restructuring policies of various governments and
university administrations, coupled with changing student demographics
and increasing tuition rates have challenged many of the traditional
roles, values, and expectations of academia. Postsecondary education,
many complain, has been reduced to a game of metrics, with educators
feeling pressure to retain students (and their tuition dollars) by
tailoring course offerings to meet perceived student demands, or to
expand or repackage undergraduate programmes at the expense of
disciplinary depth and breadth. Within this co!
ntext, professors and teaching assistants also grapple with
changing high school curricula that deemphasize writing and critical
thinking skills. As a result, university educators worry that most
first year students are unprepared to meet the demands and rigors of
traditional university pedagogy. To address the increasing numbers and
demands of undergraduates, there has also been an increasing reliance
upon underpaid and oftentimes overworked sessional or contract
faculty, as well as the implementation of new "teaching track"
positions.
The goal of this roundtable is to spark a productive dialogue about
teaching anthropology within this neoliberalized landscape of
knowledge. We invite postsecondary educators within anthropology to
share their teaching experiences, and to foster a dialogue surrounding
the following questions/issues:
- What are the challenges for teaching anthropology within an
increasingly pragmatic, "job-oriented" student culture, and how do we
address them?
- How can anthropology be used to develop critical
awareness/thinking/writing skills among students?
- How does the imposition of student "client-based" models of pedagogy
affect us as teachers of anthropology? What does it mean to engage
students in this context? What strategies do we use to work within, or
even against, this model?
- How is the discipline impacted by the development of two-tiered
streams of professorships (teaching track versus research stream)?
- How does this new landscape affect contract teachers of anthropology?
- How are instructors engaging with administrative pressures to
incorporate various teaching technologies in the classroom? What
technologies (if any) do you find most helpful in teaching critical
thinking skills?
If you are interested in participating in this Roundtable, then please
contact Maggie Cummings (mcummings@utsc.utoronto.ca) and Karen McGarry
(mcgarry@mcmaster.ca) by February 1. Please forward a brief outline of
your teaching experience and tell us which questions you are
interested in discussing.

CASCA 2015 panel CfP: Revisiting the Role of Anthropologist as the Starting Point for Anthropological Investigation
(Reminder/Rappel)
CASCA 2015 panel CfP: Revisiting the Role of Anthropologist as the
Starting Point for Anthropological Investigation
Contemporary anthropological research reflects important shifts
generated in our discipline in recent decades. While these exciting
turns include increased attention to genealogical approaches, new
approaches to space and place, and the incorporation of novel
theoretical and ontological concerns, this panel asks in what ways
does anthropological investigation continue to be fundamentally
influenced by the researcher as a socially-situated subject? As the
walls and boundaries between faculties come down, how are
anthropologists (re)envisioning their role as researchers and their
discipline within broader contexts in and beyond the academy?
A key question we wish to explore in this panel is how our own
perspectives as researchers and otherwise socially-situated subjects
present a key thread, starting point, or lens of understanding in our
ethnographic research. We are also interested in understanding how
these perspectives have influenced our position on interdisciplinary
teams or, in applied research settings.
We invite abstracts that consider how the anthropologist as a
particularly situated subject impacts the point(s) from which projects
may begin, or profoundly influences the direction or outcome of the
investigation. Proposals may consider the anthropologist's:
- positionality relative to key research questions and participants;
- disciplinary background (for instance, coming to anthropology from
another discipline);
- prior or current career experience outside of the academy;
- personal or political associations;
- unexpected turns unique to the researcher.
Please send an abstract of no more than 150 words (+ author contact
information, title, keywords) by February 1st, 2015 to the panel

Upcoming Talk: The New Face of Developing Country Debt
Event Date: January 26, 2015 - 12:00 pm
Location: Social Sciences Building, 120 University Street, room 4006
University of Ottawa, Ottawa
NIHAL KAPPAGODA, Consultant; ROY CULPEPER, University of Ottawa.
Presented by CIPS and the International Political Economy Network (IPEN).
Developing-country debt—a major obstacle to economic and social
progress in developing countries—has preoccupied policy-makers and
practitioners for several decades. Following the resolution of the
Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s, and the debt-relief
initiatives for low-income countries from 1997-2006, concerns about
developing-country debt seem to have receded. However, a growing
number of problems warrant concern, including domestic debt
accumulation, short-term debt and private non-guaranteed debt, and
increasing recourse by low-income countries to international capital
markets. Significant weaknesses remain in developing countries' debt
management capacity at the national level. These and other problems
point to an urgent need to address shortcomings in the international
institutional architecture.
Nihal Kappagoda works as a freelance sovereign debt management
consultant. He has undertaken consultancies for the Asian Development
Bank (ADB), Commonwealth Secretariat, International Development
Research Centre (IDRC), United Nations and World Bank including
training programmes for the staff in Public Debt Management Offices.
Prior to this he worked at the IDRC, Commonwealth Secretariat and ADB.
At IDRC he was the Regional Director in Singapore and later Vice
President Planning. At the Secretariat, he started a program of
advisory services in debt management and launched the CS-DRMS debt
management software now used in over fifty countries. The Secretariat
honoured him with an award for "long-term and outstanding service to
the development of the Debt |Management Programme". He was Sri Lanka's
first Rhodes Scholar and has a Master of Philosophy degree in
Economics from the University of Oxford. In Sri Lanka, he worked at
the Central Bank and headed the External Resources Department which
handled the country's external borrowings.
Roy Culpeper is a Senior Fellow at the University of Ottawa's School
of International Development and Global Studies, Adjunct Professor at
the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs, Carleton
University, and a Fellow of the Broadbent Institute. He is Chair of
the Group of 78, and Chair of the Coalition for Equitable Land
Acquisitions and Development in Africa. From January until May 2011 he
was a Fulbright scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington,
D.C. From 1995 until 2010 he was President and Chief Executive Officer
of The North-South Institute, Ottawa. Earlier in his career he was an
official at the World Bank in Washington, the federal Departments of
Finance and External Affairs in Ottawa, and the Planning Secretariat
of the Government of Manitoba in Winnipeg. Roy Culpeper obtained his
Ph.D. in Economics at the University of Toronto. He has published
widely on the issues of international development, finance and global
governance.
Free. In English. Registration is not required. Seating is limited and
available on a first come, first served basis.

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
Rappel/Reminder
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

CASCA2015 panel CFP: Associations at Work: Theorizing the Everyday Practices of Organizations
Reminder/Rappel
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.

CASCA2015 Panel CFP: Indigenous Knowledge Landscapes in Canada
(CASCA2015 Panel CFP Reminder)
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.

*Annual Conference/Colloque annuel*
*Landscapes of Knowledges/Paysages des connaissances*
*Université Laval, Québec, 13 – 16 mai 2015*

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

CASCA 2015 panel CfP: Revisiting the Role of Anthropologist as the Starting Point for Anthropological Investigation
CASCA 2015 panel CfP: Revisiting the Role of Anthropologist as the
Starting Point for Anthropological Investigation
Contemporary anthropological research reflects important shifts
generated in our discipline in recent decades. While these exciting
turns include increased attention to genealogical approaches, new
approaches to space and place, and the incorporation of novel
theoretical and ontological concerns, this panel asks in what ways
does anthropological investigation continue to be fundamentally
influenced by the researcher as a socially-situated subject? As the
walls and boundaries between faculties come down, how are
anthropologists (re)envisioning their role as researchers and their
discipline within broader contexts in and beyond the academy?
A key question we wish to explore in this panel is how our own
perspectives as researchers and otherwise socially-situated subjects
present a key thread, starting point, or lens of understanding in our
ethnographic research. We are also interested in understanding how
these perspectives have influenced our position on interdisciplinary
teams or, in applied research settings.
We invite abstracts that consider how the anthropologist as a
particularly situated subject impacts the point(s) from which projects
may begin, or profoundly influences the direction or outcome of the
investigation. Proposals may consider the anthropologist's:
- positionality relative to key research questions and participants;
- disciplinary background (for instance, coming to anthropology from
another discipline);
- prior or current career experience outside of the academy;
- personal or political associations;
- unexpected turns unique to the researcher.
Please send an abstract of no more than 150 words (+ author contact
information, title, keywords) by February 1st, 2015 to the panel
