CALL FOR PAPERS
ASA (Association of Social Anthropologists of the UK and Commonwealth)
Location: University of Exeter, 13th-16th April 2015
Dear Colleagues,
We invite paper proposals for a panel titled *"Symbiotic anthropologies:
new disciplinary relationships in an age of austerity"* from
anthropologists who create these possibilities through ongoing
collaboration in any form.
ABSTRACT
Anthropology and ethnography are discipline and practice that involve
working and living together for extended periods of time with other subject
groupings and other peoples. Yet anthropology and ethnography have both
been characterised as being liminal, anti-, dangerous and endangering, and
discipline/disciplining. Anthropology can be found working alongside, and
being practiced inside: the varied university subject groupings (Life,
Behavioural, Social, Humanities, Arts), multinational corporations, NGO's,
government bodies, hospitals, business schools. Ethnography can be
undertaken and read from stage to play, development work to policy
document, street sex corner to newspaper report. To what extent is
anthropology collaborative, colonising, symbiotic and ultimately
sustainable? What are its relations, boundaries, motives and merits, and
the associated fallout, debris, ethics and problems? This panel seeks
theoretical, methodological and empirical papers that explore the natures,
nurtures and necessities of symbiotic anthropologies.
