*Worldviews from the Sea*
( http://apa2019.apantropologia.org/p010 )
*Short Abstract*:
The sea covers most of the world, yet the world is conceptualized mostly
through ideas and physical matter originated from the land. In this panel,
we invert this order of thinking: we take the sea as the methodological,
theoretical, and material tool for knowing and explaining the (social)
world.
*Long Abstract*:
Land-based experience and reasoning have long colonized the perception and
understanding of the social world. In this tradition, worldview means,
fundamentally, landview. However, in the last years, there has been a
radical openness to new sources of knowledge production about human
organization. In particular, sea-watery materiality came to achieve a
crucial role in stimulating new theoretical production about the world at
large, influencing interpretations of social, political, and economic
phenomena. An obvious example is the way globalization is so often
theorized in terms of fluidity, flows, currents, and circulations. In this
panel, we focus on the sea as a fruitful substance to think with. How do
the experience and study of the sea affect the interpretation and
description of the social world? How can the sea shape worldviews,
world-making, or the very idea of “being human”? We present historical
and/or empirical case studies of the sea that offer new frameworks for
rethinking social life and the many concepts associated with it (such as,
culture, nature, ontology, the Anthropocene, etc.).
To submit your abstract, please send your name [and the name of the other
