Description
The title of this year's conference is: 'Locating the Field: Metaphors of
Space, Place and Context in Anthropology' There will be panels on the
following themes:
Localities -- how are these constructed and by whom? Must they relate
to physical or geographical boundaries? In what ways are notions of
'home' and 'dwelling' articulated in different contexts?
Mobilities -- how can we examine the cultural specificities behind such
generic notions as 'travelling' or 'touring' cultures?
Diasporas -- how are these sustained and do they present novel forms
of sociality and belonging?
Publics -- how can we produce fine-grained ethnographies of
relationships and entities that are mobilised on regional, national, or
transnational scales?
Virtualities -- how are the spatio-temporal and phenomenological
dimensions of fieldwork transformed in carrying out ethnographies in
such contexts as cyber-space?
Methodologies -- how can fieldwork practices be adapted to
multi-sited and fluid social contexts? Should they be?
Histories -- how new are these themes of fluidity, globalisation and
translocality? Is the anthropological present substantially different from
its past?
