Events/Évènements-Other/Autres:


1.
We are pleased to announce a one day workshop on :

Pilgrimages, Ontologies, and Subjectivities in Neoliberal Economies,

to be held at the School of Global Studies, Department of Social
Anthropology, University of Sussex, UK on July 18th 2016. We are able
to offer partial funding for travel/accommodation.


Sites of pilgrimage and heritage tourism are often sites of social
inequality, volatility, and
impaired by historical hostilities between historical, ethnic and
competing religious discourses
of morality, personhood, culture, as well as imaginaries of
nationalism and citizenship. These
pilgrim sites are often much older in national and global history than
the country as a modern
sovereign nation-state. Underlying these sites of worship, pilgrimage,
religion and piety are also
pertinent issues to do with finance such as local regimes of taxation,
livelihoods, and the wealth
of regional and national economies where these pilgrimage sites are located.

In this workshop, we discuss the ways pilgrimages are imbricated in
local, national and
transnational economies. We ask questions such as:

1. What are pilgrimage travel arrangements comprised of, and who has
control over the distribution of public resources and facilities such
as roads, housing, accommodation, and transportation?

2. What do such developments reveal about recent changes in these
historical places?

3. How are discourses and practices about money interrelated with
those about religion and divinity in pilgrimage sites?

4. How are neoliberal economies bolstered by these pilgrim sites
through heritage tourism?

5. How are subjectivities transformed in the context of pilgrimage in
neoliberal economies?


The workshop will also focus on the worshippers' own subjectivity
especially of holy sites as being situated in their imaginations of
historical continuity and discontinuity and their transformative
experiences of worshiping using both modern and traditional forms of
infrastructures.

We would like to discuss the infrastructures that facilitate ͚the holy
experiences͛ of the pilgrim
sites while also appropriating local and international demands for
modernizing pilgrimage
experiences for visitors who range from being local, national,
international, tourists, and the
diaspora. We welcome papers that are situated and/or ethnographic.

Please send an abstract upto 300 words, queries for being
discussants, or propose panels to pilgrimeconomies@sussex.ac.uk by
10th JUNE, 2016.
