Call for Films/Visual Projects/Papers: Visual Anthropology and Materiality

Call for Films/Visual Projects/Papers: Visual Anthropology and Materiality

The Florida Visual Anthropologists (FLAVA) group of the University of
Florida's Department of Anthropology (www.anthro.ufl.edu) is
coordinating with the English and Fine Arts Departments to host the
4th Annual Digital Assembly Conference at The University of Florida,
March 5-7th, 2009. The conference, an event originating from the
Digital Assembly in the English Department
(http://www.english.ufl.edu/da), is hosted by graduate students and is
calling for cross-disciplinary research and original works from
various fields including Cultural and Visual Anthropology, English,
Studio Art, Art History, Media Studies and Journalism.

The theme of the conference is materiality, particularly discursive
practices and considerations of media conventions and implications of
materiality in criticism and analysis of media projects from
ethnographic films/photography to documentaries, from novels to
newsprint, from experimental works to performance art. The visual arts
have long contemplated the place materiality holds in the academy,
questioning the meaning of material structures and pushing the bounds
of materiality beyond the tangible, visible, or physical. More
recently, the fields of visual and cultural anthropology have expanded
this discussion to an issue of expression and meaning across cultures,
as well as an issue of representation within the discipline. Concepts
to explore could cover a wide range such as, but not limited to, the
following:

. Critiquing media and the visual image in the academy considering
its increased recognition as crucial to meaning making
. Popular trends in media experimentation
. The role of form and technology in anthropological and media projects
. The representation of the unrepresentable. How can the
"invisible" be made visible? How do different cultures negotiate this?
How do different fields negotiate this?
. How different fields use the visual image and how the written
text is used in conjunction with the image. Is textual support still
necessary to be considered serious work?
. The role of media analysis in various fields (literary, artistic,
and anthropological) and its relation to form.
. The implication of intangible concepts like time, memory,
spirituality, etc. in the visual form vs. the written text. How do
different cultures represent these concepts? How is it translated in
different fields of study?
. How history is represented through time and materiality
. The future of the study of materiality in the various subfields
of anthropology as well as other fields outside anthropology

There will be a night of screenings to start off the conference, so
students are highly encouraged to submit films. However, projects may
be in any other form including photographic essays, papers, etc. The
student/artist will be responsible for transporting work. Complex
work will require the student/artist be present to set up the piece.
Please submit statement (max. 200 words) along with university
affiliation, department, and degree program by the extended deadline
January 5, 2008.

Just over the last few decades, the role of a father has changed
tremendously, putting into question what it means to be a father. Is
it different than just being a parent? What is it about fatherhood
that allows us to think it?s still a useful concept? This book, which
is part of the Wiley-Blackwell series Philosophy for Everyone, will
address the roles, experiences, ethics, and challenges of fatherhood
from a philosophical perspective. Abstracts are welcome from the
disciplines of philosophy, sociology, psychology, psychiatry,
anthropology, biology, counseling, political theory, history, and any
other relevant discipline. Possible paper titles include, but are by
no means limited to the following:

It Changes How You See Things: Fatherhood and the Meaning of Life

Fatherhood and Knowing Ourselves: Socrates and Self-Knowledge

Charles Barkley Was Right: Fathers as Role Models

An Authentic Dad: Existentialism and Fatherhood

Teaching Duty: Confucian Thoughts on the Father-Son Relationship

Overthinking It: Is Being a Good Father Instinctive?

Like Father Like Son: Repetition, Respect, and the Lineage of Fatherhood

Wait Until Your Father Gets Home! The Ethics of Child Discipline

Do I Owe My Kids More? The Ethics of Partiality and Impartiality

Vicarious Living: Fatherhood and the Autonomy of Children

Does Blood Matter? The Moral Significance of Biology for the
Father-Child Relationship

Because I Said So: The Nature and Ethics of Authority

Working Late or Being There: A Conflict of Duties?

Letting Go: Taoism and Fatherhood

Not in Front of the Children: Mass Media and the Obligation to Protect
Our Children

Am I Obligated to Have Only One Child? Fatherhood and Environmental Ethics

Commanding Freedom: The Role of Fathers in Cultivating Responsibility

Fatherhood, Fear, and Trembling: Kierkegaard's Suspension of the Ethical

Daddy?s Little Girl: Wisdom for the Father-Daughter Relationship

Thus Spanked Zarathustra: Would Nietzsche Have Been a Good Father?

Abstracts and the resulting essays should be written for an educated,
but non-technical audience interested in fatherhood. Care should be
taken to avoid discipline-specific jargon as this book is intended for
a general audience.

Theme:
Transnational Anthropologies: Convergences and
Divergences in Globalized Disciplinary Networks

In an era when anthropology is increasingly
attentive to transnational connections,
globalized geographies, and diasporic identities,
the discipline itself is subject to new and
challenging forms of deterritorialization and
re-territorialization. Anthropology has long been
constituted by tensions between the gravitational
force of its various national traditions and the
pull toward an international intellectual
cosmopolitanism. Yet the increasing presence of
scholars from the world "periphery" in
metropolitan universities, the rise to
international prominence of subaltern academic
centers, the deterritorialized concerns and
priorities of funding institutions, and the
growing transnational links between researchers,
research institutions, and research subjects
(among other factors) are further complicating
the spatiality of anthropological practice. These
shifts, in turn, are transforming the way
anthropologists examine the production of power
relations, inequalities, and identities in local
and global arenas. The 2009 CASCA-AES conference
to be held at the University of British Columbia
in Vancouver calls anthropologists and scholars
from across the social sciences and the
humanities to offer a fresh look at the
increasingly transnational nature of knowledge
production, at the resilience of regionalized
academic hierarchies, as well as at the different
ways in which the latter are being reconstituted
and subverted. Additionally, the conference
welcomes volunteered papers, panels, workshops,
and videos related to the internationalization of
social practice, power relations, and
subjectivities and to any other theme associated
with ongoing anthropological questions.

Thème:
Anthropologies transnationales : Convergences et
divergences au sein de réseaux disciplinaires mondialisés

À une époque où l'anthropologie est de plus en
plus attentive aux rapports transnationaux, aux
géographies mondialisées et aux identités
diasporiques, la discipline elle-même est aussi
confrontée à de nouvelles formes de
déterritorialisation et de reterritorialisation.
L'anthropologie s'est édifiée au fil de tensions
entre la force gravitationnelle de ses diverses
traditions nationales et sa tendance vers un
cosmopolitisme intellectuel international.
Aujourd'hui, la présence grandissante
d'intellectuels issus de la périphérie mondiale
dans les universités occidentales, la percée au
niveau international de centres académiques du
Sud global, les préoccupations et priorités
déterritorialisées des organismes
subventionnaires, de même que les relations
transnationales croissantes entre chercheurs,
institutions de recherche et sujets de recherches
(entre autres facteurs), compliquent encore
davantage la spatialité de la pratique
anthropologique. Ces changements transforment
aussi la façon dont les anthropologues examinent
la production de relations de pouvoir,
d'inégalités et d'identités sur les scènes
locales et mondiales. Le congrès CASCA-AES 2009,
qui aura lieu à l'Université de la
Colombie-Britannique à Vancouver, invite les
anthropologues et les chercheurs de toutes
disciplines des sciences sociales et humaines à
porter un regard nouveau sur la nature de plus en
plus transnationale de la production du savoir,
sur la résilience des hiérarchies académiques
régionalisées, de même que sur les différentes
façons par lesquelles ces dernières se voient
reconstituées et renversées. La conférence
sollicite également des propositions de
communications individuelles, de séances de
groupe, d'ateliers et de vidéos reliées à
l'internationalisation des pratiques sociales,
des relations de pouvoir et des subjectivités
ainsi qu'à tout autre thème associé aux enjeux anthropologiques contemporains.

Annual Conference on Culture, Community, & Well-Being (March 2009 theme: Culture & Food)

CALL FOR PAPERS
Friday, March 20, 2009
Kwantlen Polytechnic University
Surrey, B.C. Canada

Sustaining Food: Conference on Past and Present Food Systems
The 6th Annual Anthropology Conference on Culture, Community, and
Well-Being

"Daily, our eating turns nature into culture, transforming the body of the
world into our bodies and minds. Agriculture has done more to reshape the
natural world than anything else we humans do, both its landscapes and the
composition of its flora and fauna. . . . Eating puts us in touch with all
that we share with the other animals, and all that sets us apart. It
defines us."
?Michael Pollan, The Omnivore's Dilemma (2006)

As studies of food shift from nutrition to economics, we begin to see the
degree to which the interconnections between food and socioeconomic class
have been evident historically, just as they are in our present global
world. This conference aims to explore how food plays an essential role
in the development of civilization and culture. Current concerns over
soil depletion, water conservation, biotechnology, intellectual property
rights, socially just food production, food safety, and food security rest
on our understanding of the long-term development of food, and its impact
on specific cultures.

Anthropology, archaeology and other interdisciplinary methods
substantially contribute to our current understandings of food and
culture. Cross-culturally, the examination of different historical and
cultural standpoints shows us various social strategies to adapt to food
stress. Additionally, at present, studying the rise of green consumers,
agro-ecology or sustainable farming, cultural heritage conservation, and
efforts to protect biodiversity convey significant information about
social change. To what degree might current systems succeed in being
economically viable, socially responsible, and ecologically sound? And,
how does the ideology and structure of society relate to these practices?
Join us in better understanding the relationship between people and food
in ways that can truly sustain us.

Please include the following information, along with an abstract and/or
paper:
