AAA ANNOUNCEMENT REMINDER

INTRODUCING: THE ANNUAL DEBATE OF ANTHROPOLOGICAL KEYWORDS (ADAK)

A partnership between HAU, the American Ethnological Society, and L’Homme

Thursday, November 17th @ 4:00 pm - 5:45 pm — Salon B (Hilton) — Minneapolis

We are pleased to announce that three scholarly organizations and journals, all from different countries and intellectual traditions—the American Ethnological Society (AES), HAU, and L’Homme—have joined to launch a new annual event for the development of anthropological theory: the Annual Debate of Anthropological Keywords (ADAK). The aim is to hold an annual debate around keywords and terms playing a pivotal and timely role in discussions of different cultures and societies. We are pleased to launch the first debate at the 2016 AAA meetings in Minneapolis with the keyword: FAKE. 

The term "fake" covers a wide and timely terrain—forgery, faking it, copies, counterfeiting, make believe, frauds, parody, bullshit, fake theory, plagiarism, fake documents, and so on. Even within academia we often deal with fakes, hoaxes, and frauds (or the fear of being a fraud), and with issues of plagiarism that highlight a delicate boundary between theft of knowledge or its imitation to generate novel views. Thus imposter religious figures, fake goods, fake identities, corrupted foods, counterfeit medications, copyrights and “copy left,” can all be employed towards the service or revelation of truth. Where trust and truth have been deemed the glue of human relationships and the motor of cooperative interactions, this roundtable will question how deception and mistrust seem to produce effective, albeit opaque forms of sociality. The roundtable will be organized as follows: an introduction to the topic and organization of the debate, timed presentations by each of the debaters, and then short responses to each other’s presentations, followed by an open question and answer session with the audience. This is a timely topic considering that the current political climate across the globe is filled with figures surrounded with auras of fakery and impostership—charlatans and professionals alike.

Organizers: Giovanni da Col (SOAS), Hugh Gusterson (George Washington University), Carole McGranahan (Colorado), Caterina Guenzi (EHESS), and Cléo Carastro (EHESS)

With the participation of:

John L. Jackson Jr. (University of Pennsylvania) 
Veena Das (Johns Hopkins)
Gabriella Coleman (McGill)
Carlo Severi (EHESS)
Alexei Yurchak (UC Berkeley)
Giovanni da Col (University of London, SOAS)
Graham Jones (MIT)
