Dear colleagues,
Apologies for cross-posting, The SIEF conference, taking place in
Lisbon, 17-21 April 2011 - People make places: ways of feeling the
world - is now open for individual paper proposals. http://www.nomadit.co.uk/sief/sief2011/
Marta Rosales and Filomena Silvano invite the submission of paper
proposals for the following paper:
Panel title: Objects, domestic routines and the making of everyday
life (ID: P118)
The panel aims the discussion of mass produced material culture in
contemporary everyday life ordinary naturalized routines. Beyond
production and consumption patterns, it will focus on the objects’
materiality and its impacts in the relations with subjects and other
objects as a means to acknowledge their constitutive potentialities.
The impact of ordinary, often “invisible”, objects in peoples’ lives
has been acknowledged by contemporary theory as one of the most
significant consequences of contemporary material culture. Grounded in
a considerable number of ethnographic work that highlights its
expressive potentials to depict and discuss identity issues and
belonging strategies, its relational modalities both with subjects and
other objects need however to be further explored. This panel welcomes
theoretical, methodological and empirical contributions to the
discussion of the roles played by contemporary mass-produced
materiality in the making of everyday life, as well as in perceiving
and shaping the world. Specifically, we aim to go beyond objects
expressive dimensions and a) focus on objects’ physicality, functions
and performances in specific cultural contexts; b) make room for the
discussion of its potentialities, as well as of its limits and
resistance to appropriation; c) observe their relations in broader
constellations of objects; d) characterize contemporary systems of
categorization and evaluation of contemporary material culture.
