Tolerance: enacting, feeling, conceptualising
1 March 2019, Riga, Latvia
Marking ten years of established anthropology programmes at the University of Latvia, and in the university’s centennial year, this anthropology section of its annual conference seeks papers which deal with the concept of tolerance in multiple ways. We look for interesting, unexplored and even unexpected examples of tolerance both as a concept and practice in contemporary society. These might include, for example, as policy indicators, or modes, rules and sets of relationships in contemporary society. Tolerance is a concept both positive and negative, active and passive, thus setting out a landscape for social relationships and a rich locus for research into how humans live together. These relationships allow us to not only construct and project different others, set closeness and distance in social relationships but also involve commonly shared emotions, feelings and affects in contemporary society. Tolerance acts as a testing ground for social relations and vice versa, highlighting and challenging our values and conceptions of other people of apparently similar and differing social groups and status on multiple levels. Questions that might be addressed include how we cohabit in various contexts with such ‘others’, how tolerance is instrumentalised in neoliberal contexts, how integration occurs or is performed, and how violence is avoided in complex situations such as in times of contested migration. We are open to papers form all geographical areas that have an ethnographic, anthropological focus.
