> Margins and marginality: Pakistani state and societies

> The state and the margins are mutually imbricated. Recent
> scholarship has examined the margins of society as ‘the unruly
> subjects’, ‘the places where you find people who are insufficiently
> socialised into law’, ‘the spaces, forms and practices through which
> the state is undone and experienced through the illegibility of its
> own documents, words and practices’ (Das and Poole 2004:10); the
> concept of marginality helping to capture the local manifestations
> of the state in everyday life, in the form of law or bureaucracy to
> be submitted to or evaded. For 2010, the Pakistan Workshop warmly
> invites scholars of Pakistan, the Pakistani diaspora and Muslims of
> South Asia to submit abstracts for papers on the broad theme of
> marginality, providing an analytical focus on both the oppressive
> quality of exclusion, and also the generative, self-assertive
> potential of challenging the social categories that peripheralise
> people. We would particularly welcome papers examining marginalised
> regions of Pakistan as well as ethno-nationalist movements within
> Pakistan. The theme is intended as a guide to help participants
> select aspects of their research for presentation, but is not
> intended to exclude people whose interest does not coincide with the
> theme.
>
> The Pakistan Workshop was founded to bring together anthropologists
> and sociologists whose research involved Pakistan, the Pakistani
> diaspora and South Asian Islam. However, this workshop has also
> attracted scholars and researchers from a broad range of disciplines
> including historians, political scientists, economists and applied
> social scientists. The Workshop is a joint platform for established
> and new scholars, providing an opportunity to get acquainted with
> each other to inspire people working in common fields of interest.
> We particularly welcome postgraduates from UK and abroad who are
> working in relevant areas and wish to receive friendly feedback from
> our group of academics.
>
> This workshop is therefore normally kept small and intimate with a
> group of 25 or less people. The venue, Rook How, is one of the
> oldest Quaker Meeting Houses in Britain and is an important location
> in the Quaker world. The Rook How offers dormitory style sleeping
> arrangements which are comfortable and affordable. For those who
> prefer B&B accommodation, there are several nice places around the
> area which can only be accessed if they have their own car. The
> total cost of the Workshop will be £65-70 approximately for those
> staying at the Rook How (which includes Workshop registration,
> reception, breakfasts, lunches, teas and coffees).
>
> The deadline for abstracts is January 15, 2010, after which the
> conference organisers will make a selection and inform the
> participants of their decision. The finished papers would be
> required two weeks before the workshop, so they can be pre-
> circulated to all of the participants.
