> Call for Papers:
>
> Paul Virilio, culture and anthropology
>
> For a panel at the 103rd American Anthropological Association
> Meeting,
> San Francisco, 17-21 November 2004.
> Organizer: Sigurjon Baldur Hafsteinsson
>
> The translated works of the French architect and cultural
> critic Paul Virilio are increasingly emerging as an
> interesting contribution to debates about the state of
> contemporary society and culture in the West. Viriliob s
> theory of the militarization of vision challenges many
> anthropological assumptions about the cultural construction
> of art, vision, space, and place; the social roles of the
> media and the military; and theories of modernity and
> difference. This panel seeks to address the potential
> contributions of Viriliob s work for anthropological theory
> and ethnography. How does Viriliob s work challenge
> anthropological assumptions about culture, society, media,
> and the state? How can anthropologists operationalize
> Virilob s theories for ethnographic research? How might
> ethnographic research challenge and extend Viriliob s work?
> The panel welcomes submissions from disciplines outside of
> anthropology that emphasize (cross-) cultural contexts,
> ethnographic methods, and anthropological theory. Papers
> presented will be considered for possible publication in an
> edited volume based on the panel.
>
> Papers submissions due: 20 February 2004
