NAPA/AAA's Ethnographic Praxis in Industry Conference (EPIC) 2008
Call for Papers
Copenhagen, Denmark Oct. 15 - 18 2008
www.epic2008.com
The EPIC theme for 2008 is Being Seen: Paradoxes and Practices of
(In)Visibility.
On the streets of Copenhagen you see bicycles everywhere. Neighborhoods
of the worlds' impoverished are as painfully visible to those who pass
by or through them as they are invisible the halls of Wall Street.
Businesses attempt to make performance of their firm visible through
numbers and spreadsheets, while creativity is frequently referred to as
"thinking outside the box." Composers bring their music to light through
notations and scores, chefs bring their art into view only to have it
disappear, and voters attempt to have their opinions represented through
the choices they make at the polls.
A conference is a chance to come together and show each other what we
think and the things we do. At EPIC2008 we invite you to explore the
paradoxes and practices of (In)Visibility and bring to light the
concepts, theories, plans, worries, approaches and ideas that can expand
and advance the practices of ethnographic work in and of industry.
Submissions may be theoretical, conceptual, paradigm shifting or
descriptive in nature. Submissions undergo a double- blind peer referee
process and those selected for presentation will be published in the
EPIC2008 Conference Proceedings. Submissions cannot have been previously
published.
