Dear Anth Matters members,
Please find information below on a Conference of potential interest.
Very Best,
*Conference: Call for Papers*
*The Familiar Stranger: Exploring Sindh- Gujarat (Dis)connections*
18th-19th of January 2019, SOAS South Asia Institute, SOAS University of
London
The SOAS South Asia Institute <https://www.soas.ac.uk/south-asia-institute/>
intends to hold a Sindh-Gujarat conference in January 2019.
Our approach to the topic is novel and we ask presenters not to look across
the border for old and nostalgic commonalities but to critically engage
with present realities:
· How is the border is described, understood and imagined?
· How is Sindh thought of in Gujarat and Gujarat in Sindh?
· How have seven decades of post-independence national politics have
produced different regions with different trajectories, expectations and
cultural forms?
· How do minority communities influence collective imaginings of the
regions?
And overall:
· How do such questions allow us to conceptualise relations between
contemporary nation states?
From the outset, we plan to produce a publication based on the event.
If you would like contribute to these discussions, please submit a 300-word
abstract and a one-page CV/biodata to Sunil Pun by August 31st 2018:
