Call for Participants for Proposed Panel: Sanctuary Movements and
Practices: Past and Present
Paper proposals that speak to the theme of `Sanctuary Movements and
Practices: Past and Present' are invited for consideration as part of a
panel to be submitted to the 2011 ISA Annual Conference in Montreal. The
proposed panel seeks to facilitate multiple readings of sanctuary that
cross a variety of different registers, in order to examine everyday
practices of sociality and refuge as well as local, national,
international or global movements which take the idea of sanctuary as a
guiding principle.
With this in mind, we welcome papers that investigate sanctuary
practices and movements genealogically or historically, as well as
papers that examine various incarnations of current sanctuary movements
and practices. Papers that examine how sanctuary is enacted across
various contexts and that address sanctuary movements and practices in
terms of their implications for local, national, international and
global regimes of migration management and refugee protection are
particularly welcome. We are especially keen to include papers that
consider how sanctuary is interpreted, (re)presented, lived and embodied
in terms that challenge asymmetric relations between `providers' and
`recipients', and in terms that exceed religious or state
institutionalisations of sanctuary.
The panel will foster critical dialogue regarding sanctuary movements
and practices across a variety of disciplines and contexts, in order to
address both the concept of sanctuary as well as its politicization in
relation to the contemporary politics of migration, refugee resettlement
and asylum.
Please send an abstract of 250 words by 21 May 2010 to:
