Our newest issue will be released next month alongside more initiatives this fall and winter, but until then we have some big announcements, news, and exciting developments for you.

American Anthropologist Year End Review
Here’s a piece of important news that you may be interested to read, and which concerns the impact of the work you have published or may publish with HAU. As you know, American Anthropologist publishes a yearly review article aimed to analyze the past year’s key themes and debates. In a recent issue of AA, HAU’s 2013 double special issue titled Value as Theory was given major attention. Apropos the sources employed to write the article, the author remarks:
“Like previous authors of AA year-in-review essays, I here survey articles published in the major general anthropology journals (American Anthropologist, American Ethnologist, Anthropological Quarterly, Cultural Anthropology, Current Anthropology, and Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute). I also considered work published in HAU: Journal of Ethnographic Theory, an open-access, online journal now in its third year.”
This inclusion is outstanding considering that the above journals have a history of more than a century and are supported by major academic and professional organizations: AA was established in 1888, JRAI (formerly Man) in 1901, and AQ in 1921. The second youngest journal is Cultural Anthropology, established in 1986, 25 years before HAU—and we will celebrate our third birthday on December 7, 2014.

HAU in Spanish!
Another exciting piece of news coming from the HAU Network of Ethnographic Theory is a joint initiative between the journal, the Pontificia Universidad Católica of Santiago de Chile and the Universidad Autónoma de San Luís Potosí in Mexico towards the publication, in Spanish translation, of a selection of articles previously published in the journal.
The goal is to introduce HAU to the thriving Spanish-speaking anthropological community with a selection of critical and state-of-the-art contributions that helped the journal pave its way in the community.

Call for Papers: A Special Section of HAU: Journal of Ethnographic Theory
A Joyful History of Anthropology – edited by Bhrigupati Singh and Jane I. Guyer
Many of us face the responsibility of teaching the history of anthropology. In what ways do we narrate this history? While there are differences in styles of teaching, across cultures and contexts, there are shared assumptions that we seek to challenge, for instance, a teleological parade of “isms”, where each leaves the previous one outmoded.
In this Special Section of HAU entitled “A Joyful History of Anthropology”, we ask what it would mean to enliven our relation to the history of anthropology. By “joyful” we do not mean a simple affirmation, but an intensity of engagement that may include tragic possibilities, but also the re-emergence of the old as the new. We invite articles that a) find a non-teleological way to inhabit the history of anthropology; or b) build on an ethnographic encounter or question that brings the author into an intense engagement with a particular text from the anthropological archive, or c) identify moments or passages that unsettle ideas of old and new within anthropology. We also invite d) descriptions and/or syllabi with an accompanying concept note (2-3 pages double-spaced) that outline innovative ways in which students or teachers encountered the history of anthropology.
Deadline for the Submission of Abstracts: December 1, 2014
Contributions will be invited after the review of abstracts.
