> Anthropological and Archaeological Imaginations: past, present and
> future
> ASA Annual Conference: University of Bristol, 6th-9th April 2009
>
> DEADLINE for proposals: Friday 14th November 2008.
>
> It has occasionally been claimed, notably by Leach, that social
> anthropology and archaeology are incompatible. We disagree. It is
> true that social anthropology has had an uneasy relationship with
> archaeology. It could also be argued that the modern discipline was
> partly founded in contradistinction to the way that archaeology was
> then pursued. Nevertheless, both anthropology and archaeology have
> changed greatly in recent decades. We believe that there are a host
> of issues; intellectual, epistemological, methodological and
> practical that may emerge through a major reconsideration of the
> links, past, present and future, that obtain between our two
> disciplines.
>
> Further thoughts on this theme may be found at http://
> www.theasa.org/conferences/asa09/theme.htm
> We do not wish to restrict panels proposals in any way, and
> suggestions are welcome in areas such as the history and theory of
> the two disciplines; their divergent approach to material culture
> and their contrasting methodologies; the experiences of those who
> have worked in ‘four-field’ settings; the relationship between
> world history, archaeology and cultural hegemony; archaeological
> excavations and their interaction with local communities;
> indigenous understandings of the past as a form of local knowledge;
> future possible disciplinary constellations such as the
> relationship between archaeology, social anthropology and
> biological anthropology, and so on.
>
> All panel proposals to be made please electronically through the
