CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
The Graduate Association for Visual Anthropology at Temple University is
sponsoring a day long forum during the American Anthropological
Association
meeting in Chicago, Illinois, Saturday, November 20, 1999, 10:00 am -4:00
pm.
Title: Visual Culture: A Future for the Anthropology of Visual
Communication
Purpose: A forum for graduate students to present and discuss their
works-in-progress.
The program will be chaired by Irma Preikschat and John Jackson as
representatives of the organizing body, The Graduate Student Association
of Visual Anthropologists (GAVA-T) at Temple University. The Conference
planning committee includes: Kimberly Dukes, Stephanie Takaragawa, Jason
Berman, and Gretchen Leuszler.
Proposals are being solicited from any student engaged in research about
the anthropology of visual communication/visual anthropology. Preference
will be given to those who are either currently engaged in the planning of
a research project or in the analysis of work completed. This event will
be
a place where constructive criticism and discussion will be of use to the
researcher. "A Future for the Anthropology of Visual Communication" seeks
to cultivate a community of young scholars interested in all facets of the
discipline; possible areas to be covered include, but are not exclusive
to, visual and pictorial media, for example photography, ethnographic
film,dance, the body, and the plastic arts. The format of the presentations may
be paper, performance, or video/film clips. As the time is limited and the
organizers wish to give as many people time to present and have
discussion, presentations will be limited to no more than 20 minutes.
As this event is not an official function of the American Anthropological
Association, participants will be able to present their work here and
still present papers at the AAA meetings.
The program, abstracts and papers from the 1998 Futures Conference are
available at http://astro.ocis.temple.edu/~ruby/aaa/.
