Short
Abstract
The panel of the Mediterraneanist
Network (MedNet) calls for papers exploring social practices of networking and
intimate collaboration, based on research in the Mediterranean region, in
contexts of social change, political activism or other social fields, such as
those using digital media.
Long Abstract
Social practices of networking as well as intimate
collaborations and informal coalitions, important topics examined by
anthropologists working in the Mediterranean, have shown to be of particular
interest in understanding people's reactions and contributions to ongoing
social and political changes today. In this context of reshaped or newly
emerging collaborative practices of intimate cooperation and social networking
in Mediterranean countries the panel organised by the Mediterraneanist network
(MedNet) - 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 collaborative intimacies based on anthropological research in
the Mediterranean region. Understood
in a very broad sense, social networking, informal coalitions and forms of
intimate collaborations can be found not only in social fields and activities
related to radical political transformation or rapid social change, but in
other forms of social interaction as well, for example, in using virtual
communication on the Internet or the new digital media, to which paper givers
may address themselves. Thinking of these interactions in terms of intimate
collaborations also brings up questions of clashes, conflict and collusions in
the research agenda, which contributors to the MedNet panel are invited to
consider. Contributions might also discuss how a new understanding of the dynamics
of networking in relation to the intimacy of cooperation and collaboration
might reshape our anthropological concepts to better understand 'what is going
on' at present in various countries of the Mediterranean region.
DEADLINE:
Paper proposals must be submitted by 27 February 2014.
