Apologies for any cross-postings.
The call for papers for panels at the 18th World Congress of the IUAES, July 16-20, 2018, in Florianopolis, Brazil is open. The deadline for submission of paper abstracts is 28 February 2018.
This is a call for papers proposals for panel OP 090 Global Apartheid: Persistent Manifestations and Critical Resistance, convened by Faye Harrison and Andrew Spiegel on behalf of the IUAES Commission on Marginalization and Global Apartheid.
Papers should be in line with the following:
Apartheid has been understood as a discriminatory system and practice built on European colonialism's deprecating racism. A mode of social, political, and economic control, it disempowers and marginalises through disparagement, legislation, and coercion. South Africa's formally codified de jure apartheid system was dismantled a quarter century ago. Yet manifestations of the regime persist there in practice. Significantly, de facto apartheid's logics and effects are growing globally, influencing governance, economic restructuring, and the dynamics of such intersecting differences as race, ethnicity, religion, immigration status, gender and sexuality. They manifest within nation-states and across transnational fields of power. Global apartheid generates widening disparities and "apartness" between a small privileged minority and the majority of humanity, increasing the latter's vulnerability to marginalisation. In the face of global apartheid, there is also mounting resistance at global, regional and local levels. The panel aims to document and contextualise processes fostering global apartheid's persistence and growth, to illuminate consequent marginalisation within particular populations, and to analyse collective efforts to resist such oppressive trends. A principal goal is to ask how and why contemporary apartheid-style discrimination and disparities exist in so many parts of the world, and to apply anthropological insights in addressing these concerns.
In order to submit a proposal, go to http://www.inscricoes.iuaes2018.org/trabalho/view?ID_TRABALHO=168 and follow the tabs there for submission of an abstract.
Thank you
