We would like to draw your attention to the open Panel (No. 65) "Hormones on the Move: Transnational Entanglements in the Everyday” at the 4S Conference in New Orleans 2019 (see abstract below). Please consider submitting an abstract under the following link: https://convention2.allacademic.com/one/ssss/4s19/ <https://convention2.allacademic.com/one/ssss/4s19/> Deadline: 1 February 2019 Please do not hesitate to contact us with any question you may have. Best wishes, Nayantara S. Appleton ([log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>) and Sandra Bärnreuther ([log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>) Contemporary human lives are deeply entangled with hormones – sometimes in disturbing, sometimes in enabling ways. Although hormones have been seminal to our understanding of biology since the beginning of the 20th century, in the contemporary world they also allow an insight into transnational movements and relations. Be it in the form of shared medical technologies and expertise, the travel of pharmaceuticals across boundaries, or the logics of hormonal usage shared online – hormones cross material and imagined borders. In the process of this bleeding, blending, bending, they make us rethink conceptual boundaries such as inside/outside, nature/culture, or sex/gender to name but a few. In this panel, we employ an interdisciplinary lens to bear on the various ways hormones move human and non-human actors and how, in turn, they are mobilized by them. How do hormones travel in a globally entangled world and how do they intersect with human and nonhuman lives in various contexts? What mechanisms of control and regulatory measures are employed to contain them? What inequalities does the movement of hormones rely on and produce? And how can we follow hormones and their traces across space and time? We seek papers, that draw on innovative empirical research and make visible various disciplinary and theoretical frameworks to understand the complex, mobile nature of hormones in the everyday. We are interested in case studies from various parts of the world with a focus on transnational entanglements. -- Dr. Sandra Bärnreuther Oberassistentin Ethnologie ***** Universität Zürich ISEK - Ethnologie Andreasstrasse 15 CH-8050 Zürich Tel: +41 44 635 22 47 Mail: [log in to unmask] Web: www.isek.uzh.ch ************************************************************* * Anthropology-Matters Mailing List * http://www.anthropologymatters.com * * A postgraduate project comprising online journal, * * online discussions, teaching and research resources * * and international contacts directory. * * To join this list or to look at the archived previous * * messages visit: * * https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/Anthropology-Matters * * If you have ALREADY subscribed: to send a message to all * * those currently subscribed to the list,just send mail to: * * [log in to unmask] * * * * Enjoyed the mailing list?
