Dear colleagues,
Time moves on and deadlines approach, and the call for papers for EASA2014
is merely a day away! We'd like to remind you of our invited panel, entitled
Collaboratively assembling persons (IP04). Please do consider proposing a
paper!
It is convened by Dr Gareth Hamilton (University of Latvia) and Dr Ina
Dietzsch (University of Basel)
Please do get in touch if you have any questions.
Short Abstract
Collaboration suggests an act in the plural, with an entity other than
oneself. Welcoming ethnographic and theoretic papers, this panel aims to
investigate, how this entity - be it human or other, partial or holistic -
is constructed and collaborated with, pre-, post- and during such
collaboration.
Long Abstract
Collaboration suggests an act in the plural, with an entity other than
oneself. This panel aims to investigate, how this entity - be it human or
other - is constructed and collaborated with. Authors such as Rapport
("Anyone"), Fernandez ("Pronominalism"), Carrithers ("Rhetoric of
Personhood"), or Dunn ("Person-making") have suggested theoretically how
this occurs in both exceptional situations and in more mundane, quotidian
events and practices. The many cases in which collaboration amongst
strangers occurs reach from Internet communication and forming groups of
activists to creating a re-assembled body in the case of organ donation.
Life might even force people to collaborate temporarily and unknowingly with
those with whom they do not intend, to reach certain common aims. In all
cases though, these entities - whether human or other, partial or holistic -
are presented, represented and imagined in various ways. This occurs pre-,
post- or during such collaboration by a variety of expressive means as well
as by individuals or groups. The panel invites papers that either
ethnographically enhance knowledge about particular cases or theoretically
elaborate on ways in which collaborative actors assemble persons (or fail to
do so). Whatever the outcome, they might use, re-write, re-establish,
stabilize or undermine categories such as culture, class or other
differences. Precisely how are these differences in vernacularly-ascribed
categories dealt with by those who must come and work together? How are
collaborators addressed, and how are they assembled for such purposes? What
role do third parties, or technologies such as the media, play?
