Call for Papers: AAA Annual Meeting, 29 November – 3 December 2017,
Washington DC
Panel:
Anthropology of Silence: Affect, Embodiment and Articulation
Dr Ana Dragojlovic, University of Melbourne and Dr Annemarie Samuels,
Leiden University
There is a growing recognition of the importance of attending to silences
as active presences in social life. Contributing to anthropological approaches
that move beyond seeing silences as suspicious, this panel explores
silences as presences that may take narrative forms and that may imply
agency rather than disempowerment. The aim of the panel is to study the
relation between silence and verbal articulation at the intersection of
anthropologies of affect, embodiment, memory and politics. We invite
contributions that combine ethnography and theory and reflect on some of the
following questions: How does silence relate to speech or other forms
of articulation?
What are the effects of silences on individual and social bodies? How may
silences be sensed and experienced viscerally? May silence be a form
of mediation/re-mediation?
Can we talk about silence as a form of hauntology? What are the affective
forces of silence across time and places? How are memories articulated in
other ways than through language? When and how may silences imply agency?
What different ways of listening may we need in order to ‘hear’ silences?
By starting to address these questions together, we hope to contribute to a
better understanding of the presences and effects of silence and reflect on
the possibilities of attending to silences in our research.
