Hello, We are sharing here a CFP for a panel for the annual meeting of the American Ethnological Society from 30 March to 1 April at Stanford University. http://aesonline.org/meetings/spring-conference/ Best, William -- -- -- Exposure Inside Out: Boundaries, Demarcation, and Distributions ‘Exposure’ speaks to forms of contact between boundaries and thresholds that demarcate and distribute the difference between inner and outer spaces. In a variety of contexts, that which is exposed becomes accessible as such through social apparatuses that pre-figure, articulate, and delimit exposure itself as a particular mode of appearance. These apparatuses take the form of concrete architectural, operational, and moral modulations of these boundaries and thresholds – through lines, curves, surfaces, and other figures – and raise a number of questions concerning the classification and judgments involved in constituting the inner and the outer. In this panel we ask: What are the regimes of visibility delimiting the inside/outside logic of what is exposed? What is it to encounter the inside of something while being outside it? What might it mean to expose the inside, or to be exposed to the inside of something or someone else? How might we understand exposure as a term for the practical and moral limit of various ways in which to approach and relate to interiors? How might forms of exposure be distinguished from and compared with each other, and how might exposure be distinguished from other forms of appearance of the inner such as elicitation, revelation, seduction, confession, prophecy, and dreaming? We welcome ethnographically informed investigations of these questions, and would request that abstracts be shared no later than 31 December. Papers currently to be included touch on: the value form, moral judgments and the idea of the test in India; and exposure of therapeutic intimacy through visual technologies in Argentina. The final abstract and title will be edited with the panel members to better reflect the composition of the panel.
