CASCAIUAES2017 panel CFPs

1.
The roads most travelled: ethnographic approaches to buffer zones,
crossroads and spaces in-between

Convenors
Sarah Green (University of Helsinki)
Brenda Chalfin (University of Florida)
Patricia Scalco (University of Helsinki)
Laia Soto Bermant

Short Abstract
The world is full of crossroads, buffer zones and transit areas,
places through which people, things, non-human animals and ideas pass
in order to get somewhere else. This panel focuses on changes in the
relative value and significance of such locations, given changes in
how things move.

CFP "Policy and power in Latin America and the Caribbean" at the
upcoming CASCA/IUAES In Ottawa 2-7 May, 2017.
Deadline to submit a paper abstract is Dec 19

ABSTRACT
Work on public policy provides an avenue for examining how state power
is exercised and negotiated in everyday life. A range of case studies
in Latin America critically examines the complexity of "the state" and
"the public" or "civil society. The ebb and flow of populist,
neoliberal and leftist governments makes Latin America a particularly
rich site for considering these questions. Likewise, social movements
express political visions and make visible the interventions of a
variety of type of social actors -poor, wealthy, unionized,
indigenous, campesino, corporate, landless... . As we know,
differently situated social actors negotiate and experience these
processes in distinctive ways; this includes state and non-state
actors, acquiescence and resistance. Drawing on a variety of empirical
cases and theoretical perspectives, we ask what interventions
anthropology can make into thinking about the writing of and about
policy.

International Max Planck Workshop

"Sangha Economies: Temple Organisation and Exchanges in Contemporary Buddhism"

21 – 22 September 2017

Organisers: Saskia Abrahms-Kavunenko, Christoph Brumann, Beata Świtek
(Research Group "Buddhist Temple Economies in Urban Asia",
http://www.eth.mpg.de/3534110/buddhist_temple_economies)

Venue: Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, Halle/Saale, Germany

No other "world religion" has given monasticism such a central role as
Buddhism in which the sangha – the community of monks and, where
recognised, nuns – is one of the "three jewels" (together with the
Buddha and his teachings). While the first monks where itinerant
mendicants, their successors settled down, eventually establishing
prosperous and often very long-lived institutions. When these house
hundreds or even thousands of monks or nuns, it is only natural that
economic and management concerns arise. But these are no less pressing
when, as in Japan, most temples are sustained by just a single priest
and his family.

Questions pertaining to the economic organisation of Buddhist
monasteries and temples have been neglected for a long time,
reflecting the otherworldly orientation of Buddhist doctrine that sees
the attachment to worldly riches as a hindrance for salvation and
enlightenment. In recent years, however, there is a perceptible turn
towards "managing monks" (Jonathan Silk), with several historical
studies showing how economic pursuits were part and parcel of Buddhist
monasticism from early on. Contemporary Buddhism is increasingly being
scrutinised for its economic entanglements, both in theological
attempts to construct a Buddhist economic ethics and in empirical
investigations.

In this international workshop, we wish to focus on the sangha, its
institutions, and its interactions with the laity. We apply an
empirical perspective: doctrinal reasoning is important in real-life
situations but does not suffice to explain the actual flow of goods
and services within, towards, and away from Buddhist temples. We seek
rich ethnographic studies of such flows, how they are socially and
politically embedded, and how clergy and laity justify and evaluate
them. We are particularly interested in economic transactions that
involve monks, priests and nuns within the classic Buddhist traditions
of Theravada and Mahayana (Buddhist lay movements and lay practices
that bypass the clergy are outside our focus).

Crucial aspects include the conceptualisation of exchanges with the
sangha. Can there be such a thing as a "free" and pure-hearted gift,
devoid of the self-interest that, in orthodox formulations, would
subvert the intended merit-making of the layperson? Payments for
ritual services can be interpreted as donations but also as fees and
reimbursements, with symbolic distinction being symbolically marked.
How do gifts to the sangha affect the status and credibility of giver
and recipient, and what happens when family and kin ties influence the
flow of resources?

Equally important is the economics of the institutions that build on
such clergy-laity exchanges. Can one speak of a unified temple economy
at all when sub-units such as colleges, households within temple
precincts, and/or individual monks and nuns transact autonomously on
the basis of separate property and funds? What is considered
acceptable in terms of commercial activities, investments, and paid
visits? State law and institutions, expectations of charity and social
welfare contributions, and the nature of the setting (with cities
having more volatile social relations) also have an influence.
Finally, we are interested in the self-reflection of Buddhist
practitioners and believers, particularly when socialist ideologies or
Buddhist modernism have branded traditional modes of temple support as
questionable or even parasitic. Is there a discourse of crisis or is
regeneration also a possibility?

We expect participants to pre-circulate their papers and, after the
workshop, to revise them for an edited volume or special journal issue
by 15 January 2018.

Abstracts of proposals (500 words maximum) should reach all three
convenors by 1 March 2017

CASCAIUAES2017 panel CFPs

1. Between experiencing and ethnographizing in practice-based research

2. The ontological turn: new ethnographic approaches, theories and
analysis of spirit mediumship, shamanism, religious ritual and
discarnate phenomena

3. Configurations of sound: embodiments, movements, technologies

1.
Between experiencing and ethnographizing in practice-based research

Short Abstract:
This panel considers the theoretical and methodological conundrums
ethnographers face when using the self as a research site, especially the
tension between being immersed in a mindful bodily practice and reflecting
analytically on the experience—"being in the moment" and "being in their
heads."

Kathe Gray, York University
Julien Cossette, University of Chicago

2.
The ontological turn: new ethnographic approaches, theories and
analysis of spirit mediumship, shamanism, religious ritual and
discarnate phenomena

Convenors
Fabian Graham (Max Planck Institute)

Short Abstract
Research into role of spirits and the spiritual power of objects has
undergone a paradigmatic shift reflective of the ontological turn in
contemporary anthropology. This panel explores the privatization and
dissemination of this knowledge in evolving ethnographic research
methodologies and analyses.

3.
Configurations of sound: embodiments, movements, technologies

Convenors
Piotr Cichocki (University of Warsaw)
Anton Nikolotov (Berlin Graduate School of Muslim Cultures and
Societies, Humboldt University)
Ayda Melika (University of California, Berkeley)

Short Abstract
Sounds travel, move, link and transform. This panel explores how sound
is instrumentalized, objectified and how it "leaks" to produce noise
and overload. We invite to discuss the way sound enables a unique
perspective on the current de-globalizing world and central questions
of ethnographic methods.
