Call for Papers
Panel "Migrating and/as future-making"
organized by the IUAES commission for migration
With a clear focus on the presence and the recent past, peoples’
futures and aspirations have been, until recently, neglected by
studies in anthropology. However, as Appadurai stated rightly, humans
are future-makers and future is a cultural fact. Appadurai’s call for
anthropologists to investigate the future by describing people’s
aspirations has received attention lately and brought forward a new
debate on future anthropologies and the future in anthropology.
A good case to understand people as future-makers is the study of
migration. Migrating individuals embark on a journey with certain
aspirations. These imaginings of their future are not merely abstract
products of their consciousness, but are, according to D'Onofrio,
embodied and embedded in their present actions. Our panel wants to pay
attention to exactly these actions of future-making. Presentations may
include:
- Practices of saving/insuring
- Imaginations and working towards the “good life”
- Social mobility
- Precarity and downwards mobility
Please send your abstracts until 15 February 2019!

The IUAES inter-congress under the theme "world solidarities" will
take place in Poznan, Poland from 27-31 August 2019.
We look forward to your abstracts!
