> CALL FOR PAPERS
> 110th Annual Meeting of American Anthropological Association
> November 16-20, 2011, Montreal, Canada
>
>
>
> Panel: Memorials and remains of science in Africa: Traces of
> progress, nostalgia and amnesia
>
>
> In the layout of colonial agronomic field stations or the architecture
> of national university laboratories, in doctors’ tropical memoirs and
> ongoing demographic surveillance; the pasts of African science and
> medicine partially penetrate its current locations, practice and
> experiences. Sequential periodisations of its models and
> modalities–from colonial to post-colonial, extractive to
> developmental, nationalist to neoliberal—fail to describe how pasts
> are preserved, reactivated, buried or neglected to redefine the
> possibilities of science and medicine in/for Africa.
>
>
> This panel explores the ways in which African medicine and science
> generate memories; how these memories of research and care carry or
> cast away political, ethical, aesthetic, epistemological and affective
> value. We invite papers that explicitly combine historical and
> ethnographic methods to address processes of coexistence,
> interpenetration, layering and displacement of pasts and futures in
> various sites such as buildings, bodies, archives, landscapes and
> biographies.
>
>
> By bringing together diverse papers on this topic, the panel will
> provide an opportunity to reflect on its comparative potential; to
> explore differential capacities to generate, interpret and use
> memories of medicine and science. How do different kinds of scientific
> and medical practice generate traces; and what gives these traces more
> or less weight, clarity, function and purpose over time? Have certain
> periods left deeper traces than others, and what does this mean for
> experiences of loss and possibility? How can memory-focused
> methodologies highlight contrasts and similarities in experience
> across African settings?
>
>
> Please submit a 250 word abstract to:
> [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask]
> by March 25th 2011.

>>>
>>> Inspired by the great success of the first conference (Power:
>>> Forms, Dynamics and Consequences, September 22-24, 2008), we carry
>>> on probing questions of power. This time the conference
>>> concentrates on the links between power and knowledge. As is well
>>> known, Michel Foucault argued that power and knowledge are like
>>> two sides of the same coin. There are however many other
>>> approaches and research traditions that tackle the role of
>>> knowledge production in affecting and constituting power
>>> relations. What are the roles of science, research and research-
>>> based knowledge production in promoting policy models? Does
>>> scientific research or evidence-based consultancy save the world
>>> and lead us to a better future? What effects does the key role of
>>> knowledge production in contemporary societies have on power and
>>> politics? How are the established databases and statistical
>>> classifications of the public and private organizations
>>> constructed and reproduced? What is the role of everyday knowledge
>>> in society? What is the relationship between knowledge and
>>> resistance? By bringing together scholars who approach these
>>> questions from different angles this conference will advance our
>>> understanding about power relations in social reality.
>>>
