Dear All,
We would like to draw your attention to the following panel on "Loss" at the IUAES 2019 Inter-congress (theme “World Solidarities”), 27-31 August 2019, Poznan, Poland. All submissions welcome.
Thanks,
Stavroula, Fiona, Evi
Title: In the Vastness of Loss: Toward a Multiscalar Theory of Loss
Convenors: Fiona Murphy (Queens University Belfast), Stavroula Pipyrou (University of St Andrews), Evi Chatzipanagiotidou (Queens University Belfast)
Short panel abstract: This panel engages concepts of loss from everyday experiences to questions of a planetary scale. Bringing together potentially incommensurate manifestations, imaginations and articulations enables a creative multiscaler theorization of loss that helps us better understand the world we live in.
Long panel abstract Humans experience, fear, and imagine loss across vast scales. For a child, lost toys or sleeping in a different bed might be as frightening and daunting as a large-scale wartime evacuation or apocalyptic scenarios of Earth’s annihilation. With the potential to be both harmful and generative, loss can be manifested as mourning, melancholia, nostalgia, sadness, trauma and depression or as ethical responsibility and a cunning affirmation of life. Our intention here is to engage with concepts of loss from grassroots everyday experiences to questions of a planetary scale. Bringing together potentially incommensurate manifestations, imaginations and articulations enables a creative multiscalar theorization of loss that will help us better understand the world in which we live.
We invite papers that engage with scales of loss through diverse techniques and methods. Contributions may include works in progress – podcasts, short documentary clips, photos/art, music, dance, theatre, ethnofiction, reenactments of stories of loss and other imaginative formats. We welcome thoughtful, provocative contributions that push the limits of multiscalar anthropological explorations of loss.

To submit paper via online form: https://iuaes2019.syskonf.pl/abstracts
Deadline is 15 February 2019
