After Empirical Urbanism
Symposium
Friday, February 27, 2015 - 1:30pm to Sunday, March 1, 2015 - 7:00pm
Room 103, 230 College Street
This symposium is free and open to the public, no registration is required.
A new empirical urbanism has emerged over the past two generations,
drawing habits of mind and methods of observation from the natural and
social sciences, and making use of emerging forms of statistical and
visual analysis. Such practices take observation, systematic
documentation, and artful analysis of the city, as given, as a
precondition to any designed intervention. For our purposes Empirical
Urbanism is a framework for revealing the sometimes hidden
philosophical assumptions, and design alibis among a diverse group of
urban theories and practices that, while often thought to represent
opposing ideologies, share an empirical approach.
This symposium will interrogate this trend, asking how urbanism as an
art and a set of practices may gain from more explicitly deciphering
the relationship between the ways we characterize the past and present
city, and how we go about projecting alternate futures for it. Our
title notwithstanding, we do not imagine an end to empirical urban
research. Rather, the discussion and debates we hope to sponsor have
the aim of repositioning observation-based practice, and airing new
approaches to seeing and designing the city.

Friday, February 27
1:30 PM: Introduction
2:00 PM: Carto Graphics
Jill Desimini, Harvard Graduate School of Design
Jesse LeCavalier, New Jersey Institute of Technology
Sarah Williams, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Moderator: Mason White, Daniels Faculty
Ian McHarg's Design With Nature broadened the scope of the design
disciplines to address the regional scale and exerted great influence
in the development and application of Geographic Information Systems
(GIS). McHarg developed a mapping technique that represented
different, and competing urban and environmental forces with a series
of separate drawings, and then layered these readings to create a
synthetic view. The composite overlay, it was argued, provided an
objective reading of a combined built and natural environment and the
necessary evidence to support unbiased decision-making processes,
including design.
Most maps are a register of data, and as such, give the appearance of
representing fact. However, mapping is in part a process of filtering
and selection that can shape information. As Mark Monmonier notes,
maps can become ideological symbols and powerful tools for effecting
public opinion. Seemingly banal decisions about how to crop, orient or
color a map can conceal intentions and effect how information is
perceived. In this way maps perform as rhetorical devices where
aesthetic license can matter as much as the data and facts used to
make them.
These seemingly conflicting qualities of maps – performing as both
objective and subjective representations – have led historians to
study their power as political tools for affecting debate. Following
this trend, scholars explore the 'fictional status' of maps and their
potential to construct new realities. Practitioners are increasingly
using mapping techniques not only to portray existing conditions but
also to project - and convince a public - of possible outcomes. This
panel will explore the selective methods and persuasive techniques of
visualizing urban information, and question the value and shortcoming
of an artful medium that carries the force of numeric fact.

4:00 PM: The Bias of Data
Mona El Khafif, University of Waterloo
Dietmar Offenhuber, Northeastern University
Mark Shepard, University at Buffalo
Moderator: Ultan Byrne, Daniels Faculty
With The Social Logic of Space (1984), Bill Hillier and Julienne
Hanson began developing "space syntax" as one means of mathematically
describing urban conditions. Carlo Ratti and others have recently
drawn attention to the limitations and biases of this method –
focusing specifically on the reductive character of the model relative
to the actual complexity of the built form and social geography of
cities. This has led some practitioners to develop alternative, more
comprehensive models which are driven by combinations of static and
real-time "big data" sources. Others have sought to supplement such
empirical data with interfaces for participation, establishing new
models of civic engagement in urban design processes.
Meanwhile, historians have contributed broader critiques to this whole
field of study, by positioning concepts such as "data" and "interface"
within a much longer historical arc of intellectual and technological
developments. Theorists, for their part, have begun to question the
political and legal implications of these data sets, interfaces, and
algorithms. Such critiques have raised questions about the
subjectivity involved in curating data, the implications of
algorithmically-based modes of parsing and interpreting information,
and the effect that chosen representational techniques have on the
translation of data. This panel brings together practitioners
(programmers, urbanists, media artists) with theorists and historians
to debate the status of data – in its various forms and sources – in
urban analysis and design.
Saturday, February 28
10:30 AM: Leveraging the Marketplace
Robert Bruegmann, University of Illinois at Chicago
McLain Clutter, University of Michigan
Tim Love, Northeastern University
Roger Sherman, University of California
Moderator: Robert Levit, Daniels Faculty
Robert Moses' projects in New York City - an expansive network of
roads and "urban renewal" - were an exercise in highly controlled
centralized planning. In this context, Jane Jacobs' role in defeating
the proposed Lower Manhattan Expressway, and thwarting Moses, was as
much an indication of the rise of libertarian politics as it was an
expression of community activism. In Death and Life of the Great
American City, Jacobs elevates the seemingly unplanned, accretive,
transactional spaces of the 19th century mercantile city as an ideal.
Jacobs' writing and activism popularized the idea of self-organization
within the discipline. Urbanists, in turn, have studied unplanned
settlements in places such as Africa or South America, and the
dispersed spaces of apparently unregulated, market-based North
American cities like Atlanta and Houston. From these studies,
practitioners have sought to extract lessons or mimic conditions. Rem
Koolhaas, for example, draws his theory of bigness from the airports
and malls he observes proliferating in the liberalized global economy.
Critics have described projects akin to OMA's "extra" large buildings
as an effort to engage the unregulated context of market driven
urbanization, but seem to be uncertain, or unwilling to speculate on
the broader implications of such an approach to architecture and
city-building.
Over the past decade a group of scholars have advocated for an
architectural practice that engages market forces without "giving in"
to them. Some practitioners have taken this argument as a call to
openly embrace development in order to actively participate in the
production of cities. Others see the potential for leveraging such
engagement as a means to achieve some form of public good. With this
panel we hope to gather critiques and stories about working with or
within the marketplace, and to debate the role design plays in
imagining, and changing the course of market-driven urbanization.
12:30 - 1:30 PM: Break
1:30 PM: Fictions of the Ordinary
Tobias Armborst, Vassar College
Marshall Brown, Illinois Institute of Technology
Alex Lehnerer, Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule
Moderator: Michael Piper, Daniels Faculty
Robert Venturi and Denise Scott-Brown presented their studies of Las
Vegas and Levittown as an effort to "withhold judgement" of the
commercially produced American city to identify new potential in a
very particular, ordinary, everyday urbanism. Through both their
analysis and design proposals, they sought to demonstrate how the
architecture of the strip and subdivision could perform as a system of
communication: engaging popular sentiment and the new subjectivities
produced by the widespread use of the automobile. Proponents of
'Everyday Urbanism' have continued to "look at the city", finding –
for example – expressions of public life within the quotidian
commercial space of garage sales and street vending in Los Angeles.
Incorporating technics from ethnography and other fields of research,
these urbanists have opened up a broad spectrum of the built
environment to study. Yet, the very choice of which particular
as-found conditions to focus on – and their curation for analysis –
constitutes a mode of judgment, or a critical lens.
Recently scholars have developed analytical techniques that more
explicitly reframe the ordinary through the subjectivity of such
lenses. Some urbanists create fictional narratives of existing
everyday space, while others locate alternative urban visions within
popular media. Amongst practitioners, some have developed design
methods that exaggerate the ordinary as a method of invention. For
this Panel, we are seeking to present work in this field and to turn a
critical eye toward the problems and potentials of accepting fiction
as an operative aspect of analysis and story telling as a mode of
design.
3:30 - 3:45 PM: Break
3:45 PM: The Use and Misuse of History
George Baird, Daniels Faculty
Eve Blau, Harvard Graduate School of Design
Margaret Crawford, University of California
Kazys Varnelis, Columbia University
Moderator: Richard Sommer, Daniels Faculty
In the latter half of the twentieth century, a number of influential
urbanists and architects used historical models, and the idea of
precedent, to challenge the utilitarian basis of functionalist
planning. Influenced by a European debate in the 1960's between
advocates of structuralism and phenomenology, Aldo Rossi introduced
the idea of the "urban artifact", recasting the city as a cultural
product. In North America, theorists and practitioners investigated
historical precedents of various urban fabrics, posing them as an
alternative to the putatively a-contextual, object qualities of Modern
Architecture. J.L. Sert's humanism and Colin Rowe's contextual
formalism, both appropriated the spatial and civic qualities of the
preindustrial city as a basis for the emergent practice of urban design.
Amidst political and economic transitions in the 1970s, urbanists
would also freight history with an ideological purpose. Colin Rowe and
Fred Koetter's Collage City (1978) and Rob Krier's Urban Space (1977)
legitimized the use of older models of compact urban form as the
counter to a "sprawling" condition they attributed to capitalist
urbanization. With a less explicitly political motivation, New
Urbanists adopted the gridiron American city of early
industrialization, as empirical evidence of good city form that could
be transformed and re-applied to reform a dispersed suburbia.
After a lag among the most recent generation, a perhaps new use of
history seems to have emerged. The work of architect-educators such as
Pier Vittorio Aureli at the AA in London, and Christ and Gantembein at
the ETH in Zurich, have reasserted history as field to establish an
urban architecture in between political engagement and disciplinary
autonomy. In the light of these more recent experiences, this panel
will explore history and precedent as source of inspiration and
legitimacy to engage, or escape from, the complexity of the
contemporary city.

Upcoming Talk and Documentary Screening "Salute"
Talk by Dr. John Carlos
Screening of the documentary Salute
Monday, March 2, 6:30 pm: talk by Dr. John Carlos / 7:15 pm: film screening
Innis Town Hall, 2 Sussex Avenue
Toronto
Details: The story of Australian Peter Norman and his alliance with
Tommie Smith and John Carlos, the 1968 African-American 200m Olympic
medalists who raised their gloved fists in protest for human rights.
Prior to the film screening, The University of Toronto is pleased to
present Dr. John Carlos to recount, in his own words, his journey to
the black power salute at the '68 Olympics and beyond in a scheduled
talk and screening of the film Salute, The story behind the image.
Dr. John Carlos is an African American former track and field athlete
and professional football player, and a founding member of the Olympic
Project for Human Rights. He won the bronze-medal in the 200 meters
race at the 1968 Summer Olympics, where his Black Power salute on the
podium with Tommie Smith caused much political controversy. He went on
to equal the world record in the 100 yard dash and beat the 200 meters
world record. After his track career, he enjoyed brief stints in the
National Football League and Canadian Football League but retired due
to injury. He became involved with the United States Olympic Committee
and helped to organize the 1984 Summer Olympics. He later became a
track coach at a high school in Palm Springs, where he now resides. He
was inducted into the USA Track & Field Hall of Fame in 2003.

Leacock Travel Grant, 2015 SANA conference - APPLICATIONS DUE MARCH 9:
APPLICATIONS DUE MARCH 9: Leacock Travel Grant, 2015 SANA conference
Eleanor "Happy" Leacock 2015 Travel Grant
The Society for the Anthropology of North America (SANA) announces
requests for submission for the 2015 Eleanor "Happy" Leacock Travel
Grant for independent scholars and contingent or community college
faculty. Two awards ranging from $400-600 will be awarded for travel
to the 2015 SANA Conference at John Jay College, CUNY, NYC, April
16-18.
This grant honors Eleanor "Happy" Leacock's outstanding career as an
independent scholar and her labor as a semi-employed faculty member
prior to securing full-time employment at Brooklyn Polytechnic
Institute and later the City University of New York (City College at
the time) where she became Chair of the Department of Anthropology.
Submissions should relate to the study of North America and, in
keeping with Leacock's contributions to feminist, urban, and activist
anthropology, address issues of inequality based on gender, race,
class, ethnicity, and/or sexuality.
Additional guidelines:
• Applicants must work as independent scholars, as faculty at
community colleges, and/or in a contingent capacity for a college or
university. This includes part-time instructors, adjunct instructors,
and full-time, non-tenure-track instructors.
• This travel grant is awarded on a competitive basis and reviewed
by a committee comprised of members from the SANA board. SANA is an
intentionally inclusive community of anthropologists and encourages
everyone eligible to apply for this grant regardless of society's
labels or anthropology's disciplinary boundaries. However, applicants
must be SANA members intending to present at the 2015 SANA
Conference. Please see http://sananet.org/about.php for instructions
on how to join SANA.
• Since the St. Clair Drake Student Travel Grant funds currently
enrolled graduate students, they are ineligible for this grant, even
if they meet the other qualifications.
• Travel grants will not be awarded to any individual more than once.
• The exact grant amount will be determined by the geographic
location, i.e distance from the conference, of the winner's
residence. The amount will be no less than $400 and no more than $600.
• In the future, priority will be given to applicants who have
unsuccessfully applied previously.
• To apply, submit your paper abstract (even if acceptance is
still pending), university affiliation, and contact information to
sanaconference@gmail.com by March 8, 2015. Also include a brief
summary – no more than 100 words – illustrating that your current
employment is in accordance with the award's guidelines.

In Canada, about one third of all academic staff in post-secondary
institutions are hired on a per course or limited-term basis. They
often receive inadequate compensation for only the teaching component
of academic life.
Thousands of professors are denied the opportunity each year to
participate in all aspects of academic work — scholarship, teaching
and service to the community. This has serious implications not only
for Contract Academic Staff, but for students, their regular academic
staff colleagues, and the integrity of post-secondary institutions.
CAUT advocates for the fair treatment of all academic staff regardless
of employment status, including compensation for research and service
as part of any appointment on a pro-rata basis — that is, as a
percentage of a regular professor's appointment. Tenure and academic
freedom, the ability to do research, teaching and service, the
opportunity to participate fully in institutional governance, and fair
compensation and good working conditions are things that all academic
staff should enjoy so that they can offer the best post-secondary
education possible.

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).
PROPOSAL SUBMISSIONS
CASCA 2015 invites different types of proposals and strongly
encourages panels and symposia that will bring together presenters
from a variety of academic and non-academic backgrounds. Bilingual
sessions of different forms are also strongly encouraged.
PhD students returning from their fieldwork, and M.A students who have
finished their thesis, are invited to present the results of their
first-hand research or in-depth and advanced analytical work. Students
must be part of sessions with faculty or professionals. Please note
that course-based projects cannot be presented as conference papers.
15-minute papers
Individual proposals accepted by the CASCA 2015 program committee will
be organised into thematic sessions. The submission for a paper must
include the presentation title, abstract (of 100 - 150 words),
keywords, and co-authors (if applicable).
Poster presentation
Proposals for posters must include the presentation title, abstract
(of 100 - 150 words), keywords, and co-authors (if applicable).
Suggestions for designing an effective poster are available at:
http://www.aaanet.org/meetings/upload/how-to-create-anthropology-posters.pdf
90-minute panels
Panels will be composed of 4 to 5 presentations, followed by a
discussion. Please do not include more than 4 presentations should a
formal discussant be invited. The submission for a paper must include
the presentation title, abstract (of 100 - 150 words), keywords, and
co-authors (if applicable). If you are part of an organised panel or
symposium, you must provide the name of the organiser and the title of
the panel. The panel organiser should provide a 100 - 150-word
abstract describing the theme of the proposed panel or symposium and
include a list of the participants (including, the chair and the
discussant).
Symposia
Symposia will be composed of at least 2 panels of 90 minutes each,
back to back in the same location (as scheduling permits). The
symposium organiser should provide a 100 - 150-word abstract
describing the theme of the proposed panel or symposium and include a
list of the participants (including, the chair and the discussant).
Round-tables
Round-tables will be 90 minutes in length, addressing a specific theme
or issue to be submitted by the organiser of the round-table, but do
not include formal presentations. The roundtable organiser should
provide a 200 - 250-word abstract describing the theme and include a
list of the participants (including the chair). Roundtable
participants do NOT submit individual abstracts but do need to go

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).

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).
PROPOSAL SUBMISSIONS
CASCA 2015 invites different types of proposals and strongly
encourages panels and symposia that will bring together presenters
from a variety of academic and non-academic backgrounds. Bilingual
sessions of different forms are also strongly encouraged.
PhD students returning from their fieldwork, and M.A students who have

Round-tables will be 90 minutes in length, addressing a specific theme
or issue to be submitted by the organiser of the round-table, but do
not include formal presentations. The roundtable organiser should
provide a 200 - 250-word abstract describing the theme and include a
list of the participants (including the chair). Roundtable
participants do NOT submit individual abstracts but do need to go
through the regular CASCA 2015 registration process, filling in the
appropriate fields of the round-table participation form.
Organisers of panels, symposia, or roundtables may wish to advertise
their session and find presenters through the CASCA listserv (email

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).

Practices of the State in Africa: Contested Social and Political Spaces
International Colloquium, 26-27 March 2015
University of Naples "L'Orientale"
This Colloquium intends to explore how actors, spaces and practices
reconfigure the post-colonial state in Africa. African states continue
to play a central role in opening spaces for political interaction and
negotiation between public and private actors, whether they are local,
national, or transnational. This happens whether in post-conflict or
in decentralised contexts of neoliberal governance. The restructuring
of African states constitutes a paradox of the neoliberalisation
processes of governance, particularly at the local level, whereby the
state reconfigures itself and it is reconfigured by everyday local
practices which reinforce and expand its presence and influence but
also reveal its porous and weak sovereignty. The result is often
asymmetric and hybrid policies and politics, particularly in contested
social and political spaces where we witness various modes of power.
Public authorities attempt to 'regulate' access to power, resources
and rights, often using informal procedures, but also violent
repression and coercion. The focus is on the 'real governance' of
informality as a mode of political engagement between state and social
actors. In this multilayered and entangled governance, the state is
the central site (also the material condensation) of power relations
and political (and class) struggles, but it is not the only locus of
power.
The colloquium aims to analyse the relational concept of power
governing the everyday politics of local realities in Africa,
particularly in urban contexts where different forms of contestation
emerge, articulating notions and forms of citizenship. In particular,
we are interested in empirical research which interrogates the
contentious politics intersecting everyday practices and the relations
between state (political and bureaucratic agents) and other governance
actors (private sector, trade unions, social movements).
We invite contributions that unpack the complex and ambiguous
regulatory processes, practices, resources and repertoires of plural
political authorities and multiple social agents which shape real
governance, focusing on questions such as: who exerts power? How and
where is power exerted? How a plurality of non-state actors engage
multiple public authorities in different and often contested spaces
and how they negotiate decision and policy making processes? Who are
the actors in these processes and what are their discourses and
repertoires? Who negotiates and defines statehood in contemporary
Africa? How the state governs, produces policies and controls
territories?
Those interested in presenting papers are invited to submit an
abstract of 500 words (maximum) by 28th February to Antonio Pezzano
(apezzano@unior.it).

Defenders of the moral justifiability of commercial surrogacy and the
sex trade rely upon variants of market freedom perspectives to support
their positions. A market freedom perspective typically rests upon the
presumption of capacity to consent, on the part of competent adults,
in normal circumstances. Feminist and other critics of commercial
surrogacy and the sex trade, by contrast, seemingly attack the
presumption of consent, particularly when they advocate for criminal
prohibition of the activities of buyers, sellers, and intermediaries
or facilitators of market transactions relating to sex and surrogacy.
Criminal prohibitions are preferred by some to regulatory oversight.
Ultimately, looking more deeply and broadly into the foundations of
the contesting positions on commercial surrogacy and the sex trade
leads to the realization that even those who are committed to gender
equality and social justice should reconsider the advisability of
undermining the core concept of consent, and the desirability of
criminal prohibitions.

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).

90-minute panels
Panels will be composed of 4 to 5 presentations, followed by a
discussion. Please do not include more than 4 presentations should a
formal discussant be invited. The submission for a paper must include
the presentation title, abstract (of 100 - 150 words), keywords, and
co-authors (if applicable). If you are part of an organised panel or
symposium, you must provide the name of the organiser and the title of
the panel. The panel organiser should provide a 100 - 150-word
abstract describing the theme of the proposed panel or symposium and
include a list of the participants (including, the chair and the
discussant).
Symposia
Symposia will be composed of at least 2 panels of 90 minutes each,
back to back in the same location (as scheduling permits). The
symposium organiser should provide a 100 - 150-word abstract
describing the theme of the proposed panel or symposium and include a
list of the participants (including, the chair and the discussant).
Round-tables
Round-tables will be 90 minutes in length, addressing a specific theme
or issue to be submitted by the organiser of the round-table, but do
not include formal presentations. The roundtable organiser should
provide a 200 - 250-word abstract describing the theme and include a
list of the participants (including the chair). Roundtable
participants do NOT submit individual abstracts but do need to go
through the regular CASCA 2015 registration process, filling in the
appropriate fields of the round-table participation form.
Organisers of panels, symposia, or roundtables may wish to advertise
their session and find presenters through the CASCA listserv (email

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.

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.
