Call for Papers "Evoking the intangible. Sensory media, anthropological film and art-based practice in engagements with epistemically challenging phenomena.” IUAES 2019 Inter-Congress “World Solidarities” Adam Mickiewicz University August 27-31, 2019, Poznan, Poland https://www.iuaes2019.org/paper-guidelines/ <https://www.iuaes2019.org/paper-guidelines/> Panel conveners: Jan Lorenz, Adam Mickiewicz University, Piotr Goldstein, Trinity College Dublin Abstract: Recent decades brought a surge of methodological experiments in anthropology: challenging or reinventing the formula of ethnographic film, embracing the creative possibilities of sensory media, and combining anthropology with art in the fusion of creative practice, performance, and ethnographic research. Interrelated circumstances necessitate such turn to alternative means of evoking and representing lived realities. For once, paradigmatic shifts in anthropological theory grasping at alternative modalities of being a call for renewed encounters with topics that seemed to have been analytically tamed and foreclosed. Second, the need for ontological reframing called upon by acknowledging human and non-human lives in the Anthropocene or its imminent wake. Third, the surge in technological developments that prompt existential questions about sentience, subjectivity and agency and ways in which these can be addressed anthropologically. The above description does not foreclose the range of challenges we must face and the means we can face them by employing non-textual or hybrid media. This panel welcomes anthropologists who seek or invent new methods and forms of engagement, contemporary artists and filmmakers drawn to anthropology, and those who operate across and beyond these disciplinary realms and question their boundaries. Deadline for abstract submission is February 15, 2019. Please forward this to anyone who may be interested! ——— Jan Lorenz, PhD Assistant Professor Department of Ethnology & Cultural Anthropology Adam Mickiewicz University Collegium Historicum | ul.
