Dear colleagues,
The Call for papers for the 12th EASA conference in Nanterre (10
-13 July 2012) is now open.
EASA Mediterraneanist Network (MedNet) sends a CfP for its workshop with the following title (W069 on
the list of all workshops of the 12th EASA conference):
W069: Uncertainty
and disquiet in the Mediterranean region
Convenors:
Jutta Lauth Bacas, Academy of Athens
William Kavanagh, CEU San Pablo University, Madrid
The MedNet workshop calls for papers on the ethnography of uncertainty,
based on research in the Mediterranean region in contexts of catastrophe,
violence and loss of significant dimensions of individual or collective
identities, or referring to interactions and strategies to master uncertainty.
Workshop Abstract
The countries bordering on the
Mediterranean Sea are at present undergoing a period of tremendous uncertainty,
manifesting itself in the enduring economic crisis in southern Europe and the
radical political changes in the Maghreb and the Middle East. It is in this
context of varied and uncertain outcomes that the workshop organised by the
EASA Mediterraneanist network (MedNet) - but open to all members of EASA
regardless of whether the paper presenter is a member of MedNet or not - calls
for contributions to the ethnography of uncertainty and disquiet based on
anthropological research in the Mediterranean region in contexts of
catastrophe, violence and loss of significant dimensions of individual and
collective identities related to these crises. Understood in a very broad
sense, dimensions of uncertainty can be found not only in political
transformation or financial crisis, but in other forms of social interactions
as well, for example in processes of migration, border crossings, health
related issues or others, to which paper givers may address themselves.
Contributions to the workshop might also refer to social interactions and
individual or collective strategies to master uncertainty (including routines
related to religious rituals) as well as to the perceptions and reflexive
capacity of actors to understand and to react in various ways to 'what is going
on' in various countries of the Mediterranean region.
The CfP will close on November 28th. To propose a
