ICASS offers some travel bursaries. Architectures, Affordances, and Domestication Abstract Following recent shifts in understanding of domestication away from projects of domination and control to co-existence, mutualisms, symbiosis, and co-habitation now is a better time to theorise the structures of domestication as well as the affordances of the environment, materials, and understandings of well-being. This panel investigates the following, but not exclusive, themes: - A re-evaluation of structures of domestication. How might we understand fences, corrals, traps, caches etcetera beyond the usual foci or frameworks of domination and control? - An inquiry into the affordances of the landscapes of domestication and structured places. How might the land be part of the mutual relationships of humans and animals? - Often missing in analysis of domestication are the structures of communication. How might harnesses, tethers, ropes etcetera serve other communicative roles beyond constraint? We welcome papers that want to address these themes along the lines of material studies, design anthropology, human-animal studies, post-humanist approaches, vernacular architecture, making and craftsmanship, and linguistics amongst others. Rest me only to wish you a very festive holiday, Warm regards, Peter Loovers Dr. Jan Peter Laurens Loovers Research Fellow at ERC Arctic Domus University of Aberdeen, School of Social Sciences, Department of Anthropology, Edward Wright Building, Aberdeen, AB24 3QY, Scotland, United Kingdom Tel: ++44 (0)1224-273138 Personal webpage: http://www.abdn.ac.uk/socsci/people/profiles/p.loovers Project Arctic Domus website: www.arcticdomus.org<http://www.arcticdomus.org/> The University of Aberdeen is a charity registered in Scotland, No SC013683.
