CASCA/SANA2016: Call for Proposals - More-Than-Human Solidarities: Conceptual Insights and Multispecies Political Possibilities

Call for Proposals

More-Than-Human Solidarities: Conceptual Insights and Multispecies
Political Possibilities
Session to be submitted for the CASCA/SANA meetings at Dalhousie
University, May 11-15, 2016
Session organized by Kendra Coulter, Brock University

Interest in human-animal-environmental relations, posthumanism, and
multispecies ethnography is growing within and beyond anthropology.
How do and could webs of solidarity that move beyond anthropocentrism
figure in social theory, methods, and praxis, and in the many
communities with which scholars are involved? In this session, we will
highlight and analyze more-than-human approaches to solidarity, and
consider both the challenges and possibilities of such political and
ethical commitments. In the interest of breadth and a holistic
discussion, and in keeping with the spirit of solidarity, papers
concentrating on solidaristic dynamics that are
ethnographically-rooted, conceptual, action-oriented, and/or
exploratory are welcome. Please send inquiries and/or short abstracts
(150 words) to Kendra Coulter by December 1st, 2015 at
kcoulter@brocku.ca
