Evolving Humanity, Emerging Worlds: The 17th World Congress of the International Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences
University of Manchester (U.K.), August 5th-10th, 2013
Call for Papers/Presentations (Panel number V07)
Deadline 13th July 2012
Representing the non-representable: Visual Representations of Extraordinary Creatures in Ethnographic Films
Convenor:
Dr. P. Khosronejad, Department of Social Anthropology, University of St Andrews
Anthropologists have long struggled with the problem of how best to conceptualize and account for the observable diversity of religious belief and practice in various societies. Also recently there has been interest among ethnographic filmmakers who survey healing and spirit possession rituals, exorcism ceremonies or religious gatherings among which supernatural forces (djinns, demons and spirits) are the main topic of the ceremonies.
The aim of this panel is to investigate and discuss how such non-representable supernatural creatures could be studied and captured visually and ethnographically via documentary films. We invite anthropologists, visual anthropologists, ethnographic and documentary filmmakers to participate in our panel and to present a paper/presentation about their visual experiences in this regard.
We are especially interested in presentations which are based on film projects or ethnographic film research, even if they are in their early stages.
Please submit your abstract by 13th July 2012 directly to the convenor of panel, Dr. P. Khosronejad, via the official website of the congress:
