DEADLINE EXTENDEDPlease circulate widely.
Dear colleagues,
The deadline for the Call for Papers for the 17th World Congress of the International Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences (IUAES, Manchester, 5-10th August 2013) has been extended. The new deadline is August 3rd (next Friday).
I warmly invite you to submit an abstract for the panel BH 23: "Non-human and human beings and their entanglements within Muslim milieux".
Convenor: Araceli González-Vázquez (Laboratoire d´Anthropologie Sociale, Collège de France)
Short Abstract: This
panel aims at promoting a broad discussion on non-human and human beings and
their entanglements within Muslim milieux.
Long Abstract: The anthropology of Muslim milieux involves the study of very different issues in the treatment of the relations between humans and non-humans. Interestingly, academic research has a long history of engagement with the analysis of the co-existence of Muslims and non-human beings. This panel engages with recent (re)thinking of human and non-human agencies (Descola, Haraway, Ingold, Latour, Strathern, Viveiros de Castro, etc.) in order to focus on an anthropology of alterity and an anthropology of the mingling of creative agents (Deleuze and Guattari, 1987: 241-242; Kiksey and Helmreich, 2010: 546). Willing to adhere to recent scholarship which promotes the exploitation of ethnography, ethnohistory and ethnoarchaeology´s potential for (re)thinking alterity, it attempts to explore the role of religious discourses and practices in the shaping of human and non-human relations.
The panel aims at reflecting on the ontological tensions between different forms of being. A merely orientate and non-exhaustive list includes humans, animals, jnun (espirits), angels, shayatin, ´afarit, Iblis, Shaytan... One of the main goals of this panel would be to reflect on the voice and agency of the non-human.
The panel will host accounts and reflections concerning the relationships of humans and non-humans in Muslim milieux. Not restricted to: understandings of human and non-human natures/selves, kinship relationships between human and non-humans, bodies, experiences, embodiment, emplacement, discourses, practices, narratives, self-narratives, memories, representations, mimesis, performances, topologies, technologies of the self, ontological tensions, boundaries, continuities, discontinuities, affects, emotions, materialities, traits, traces, etc.
Please not that the deadline for paper proposals is next friday, August 3rd, 2012. Paper proposals must be made via the online system, and not via e-mail. Proposals should be submitted through the "Propose a paper" link on the panel´s page of the IUAES website (paper title + short paper abstract under 300 characters including spaces + long paper abstract of 250 words):
