Dear colleagues,
Yesterday I shared a letter on behalf of colleagues from Bulgaria in regard to the dire situation of Gender Studies in Bulgaria. As I have learned from those colleagues, these documents were not meant to be shared via social media as that might jeopardize their situation even further. Instead, for social media purposes the following link might be shared: http://www.criticatac.ro/lefteast/bulgarian-academy-of-sciences-researchers-on-the-campaign-against-a-project-on-gender-equality/
Sorry for not making that clear in my first post.

While most people address me with the pronouns he/him/his, I am thankful for communication that goes beyond a gender binary.
I will do my best to meet accomodation needs in communication and personal meetings, so please approach me directly in regard to accessibility.

Subject: Panel "To narrate narrators" on epistemic striptease for SIEF 2019
Dear colleagues,
We are proposing a Panel on academic striptease entitled “To narrate narrators” for the next SIEF Conference that will be held in Santiago de Compostela (Spain). We would like to invite you to send us ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> and [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) your abstract (250 words) by 15 October. We look forward to receiving your proposals. Please find below the CFP abstract.
Best wishes,

Short abstract
How to narrate the narrators? The cases gathered in this "Making of" will jointly analyze: (a) the important role of personal micro-stories in daily life, and (b) the work process through which they became narrated, textualized and staged in visual, written or exhibition formats.
Long abstract
Trivial, funny, nostalgic, filthy, common stories… The everyday is built up by storytelling. When we routinely comment on our deeds, events and affections, we weave a storyline of some sort about the Self, the We and the Others.
Conversely, ethnographies, documentaries and museum collections can be seen as narratives which select, edit and connect these fragments taken from daily life, in such a way that they compose an eloquent whole.
How to narrate the narrators? This panel invites reflection on the transition from micro-stories to macro-narratives, bringing these two (qualitatively uneven) levels of narrative articulation together: (a) the poetics implicit in daily life micro-stories -with its objects, practices and locations; (b) the textualizing operations deployed in their mise-en-scène by cultural disciplines, in the genres of documentary film, written monography, ethnographic exhibition and live performance.
How did I work from others' stories in order to construct a convincing cultural plot of my own? What strategies did I follow to elicit / select / assemble raw materials? From where did I get inspiration for an overarching script? Does it possesses poetic beauty, or logic, or morals?
We call for good cases in everyday storytelling as much as for courageous exercises in epistemic striptease. Accounts in several formats (visual, textual, collections, performances) and contents (practices, objects and locations as well as discourse) are welcome.
Contributors should ideally (a) present examples of research material in the form of stories, short videos, etc.; (b) analytically dissect his/her own work process.

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT - CALL FOR PAPERS
The Thrill of the Dark: Heritages of Fear, Fascination and Fantasy
25-27 April 2019
Birmingham, UK
www.thethrillofthedark.wordpress.com
CfP Deadline: 31 October 2018
Ironbridge International Institute for Cultural Heritage, University of Birmingham UK, in partnership with the Collaborative for Cultural Heritage and Management Policy, University of Illinois, USA and Department of Ethnology/Critical Heritage Studies Network, University of Stockholm, Sweden are pleased to announce the above conference.
Darkness is a complex concept. In a real and a metaphorical sense it invites contemplation and imagination of the sad, the unknown, the fearful and unwholesome desires. At the same time it is thrilling and strangely attractive, playing with deep and persistent cultural and metaphysical tensions of good and evil, right and wrong. Darkness provides space for hiding but also for exploration; it holds the potential for acceptance, forgiveness, or reconciliation for the haunted. Despite our apparent fear of the dark and the risks it hides, it nonetheless holds a powerful fascination which is evident in many aspects of popular culture.
Over recent years there has been tremendous interest in ‘dark heritage’ and associated ‘dark tourism’ but still we struggle with the powerful attraction of the darkness, the thrill it can provide, where (and if) we draw boundaries around its commodification, its representation, and the experiences we seek from it. Many forms of heritage function as a materialization of darkness and what it represents and offer ways of exploring how societies / communities deal with complex moral and emotional issues. Heritage sites and associated events / activities reflect both historical and fictional trauma and can act in illuminating and reconciliatory ways. Others hold onto their dark narratives to deliberately obscure and hide. Others still, play with, parody and test public sensibilities and capitalize on the idea of the thrill.
This conference seeks to explore the multiple relationships we have with the concept of darkness with reference to the legacies we create from it.
• How is the thrill of darkness expressed through the widely framed notion of heritage?
• How do we experience, negotiate, represent, commodify, valorise or censor the heritages of darkness?
• What and where is the thrill of the darkness and how is it negotiated across cultures, generations and gender?
• Why does the dark fascinate us so?
We invite researchers from the fullest range of disciplinary perspectives to consider these and other questions in an open-ended and thought-provoking manner. We welcome papers from colleagues working in anthropology, archaeology, architecture, business, education, English, ethnology, heritage, history, geography, languages, sociology and urban studies. Please provide a 300 word abstract of your intended paper/presentation no later than October 31st via our online submission platform: www.universityofbirmingham.submittable.com

Subject: Before and After the State by Allan K. McDougall, Lisa Philips & Daniel L. Boxberger
Dear ANTHROPOLOGY-MATTERS Subscribers,
We would like to announce a new publication from UBC Press, which we hope will be of interest.
Before and After the State
Politics, Poetics, and People(s) in the Pacific Northwest Allan K. McDougall, Lisa Philips & Daniel L. Boxberger
http://www.combinedacademic.co.uk/before-and-after-the-state
The creation of the Canada–US border in the Pacific Northwest is often presented as a tale of two nations and two ideologies, but beyond the macro-political dynamics is the experience of individuals.
Before and After the State takes a multidisciplinary approach to examining the imposition of a border across a region that already held a vibrant, highly complex society and dynamic trading networks. It details the evolution of local, trading, and immigrant populations as they moved into the Pacific Northwest and imposed control over public power. Allan McDougall, Lisa Philips, and Daniel Boxberger use case studies to document the malleable character of identity – the discrepancy between individual lives and externally imposed assessments of those lives – and review the strength of national narratives north and south of the border.
The authors explore fundamental questions of state formation, social transformation, and the (re)construction of identity to expose the devices and myths of nation building. In revealing the mechanics of this transformation, they demonstrate how the creation of nation states and borders affected the people who lived in the region before and through the transition – with repercussions that still reverberate.
This book will find an audience among scholars of Pacific Northwest and BC studies, Indigenous studies, anthropology, history, and borderland studies. It will also be of interest to political scientists and legal scholars of borderland issues.
Allan K. McDougall is a professor emeritus in the Department of Political Science at the University of Western Ontario. He is the author of Policing: The Evolution of a Mandate and John P. Robarts: His Life and Government, winner of a CHOICE book award.
Lisa Philips is a professor emerita in anthropology at the University of Alberta. She is the author of Making Their Own: Severn Ojibwe Communicative Practices, numerous periodical articles and book chapters, and coeditor of Theorizing the Americanist Tradition.
Daniel L. Boxberger is a professor of anthropology at Western Washington University. He is the author of To Fish in Common: The Ethnohistory of Lummi Indian Salmon Fishing and Native North Americans: An Ethnohistorical Approach, as well as many periodical articles and book chapters.
With all best wishes,

Subject: Attack on Gender Studies in Bulgaria
Dear colleagues,
I share a statement by Bulgarian scholars on censorship in academia in Bulgaria. The colleagues in Bulgaria need all the support they can get. Also below a draft letter that institutions can send on behalf of the Bulgarian colleagues.
Sebastian
******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Dear colleagues,
We would like to inform you that our project "Forum for gender balanced model at school: the Bulgarian case", nominated in the first phase of UNESCO's Participation Programme 2018-2019 was blocked by the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (BAS), after political pressure from government officials (Ministry of Education and Sciences) and the media. Тhe project imposes "gender ideology" and will never run through BAS, the vice deputy of BAS, Vasil Nikolov, said. Since the project promotes "gender ideology" it is incompatible with the Bulgarian Constitution, the allegations continued. Indeed, a few weeks ago the Bulgarian Constitutional Court declared the Istanbul Convention "unconstitutional" as it "imposes a view that there is sex different than the biological sex". We are sending you our official Statement in response to these violent attacks. This Statement is published in Bulgarian and English.
Inspired by the so called "anti-gender campaigns", precisely investigated in the book "Anti-gender campaigns in Europe" (2017), the anti-gender campaigners are targeting social activists and scholars who deal with gender and LGBTQI issues, labelling them as "foreign agents", " servants of evil", "liberal paid traitors" to name a few. This context puts the value of social sciences and, particularly, gender disciplines in serious danger. The work of the German writer Gabriele Kuby, "The global sexual revolution" is now cited as the only credible scientific source of information. Replacing credible sources of scientific literature with clearly ideological and religiously driven books seriously undermines the efforts of many scholars and the scientific tradition across the globe. In this situation we are calling now for solidarity and cooperation in order to overcome these challenges.
Right now, we really need you support. Please, inform the relevant sections in your institutions and share with your networks. Furthermore, we would highly appreciate if you can support us with an official statement addressed to the Bulgarian Ministry of Education, the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (addresses below) and media outlets, confirming that gender studies are a legitimate field of science and indeed a very important one nowadays. We really hope the situation in Bulgaria in both fields - gender equality and academic freedom - will be discussed and made public in order to prevent further dangerous actions as those in Hungary, where the current government proposed to ban gender studies programs at the universities. Lastly, please do not refer to our names regarding the sources of this information as we have been under a very harsh pressure coming from conservative media and colleagues who share the views of the "anti-gender campaigners".
I remain at your disposal for any further information concerning this issue.
Sincerely yours, Dr Shaban Darakchi

STATEMENT
We, the authors of the project "Forum for gender balanced model at school: the Bulgarian case", which was nominated in the first phase of UNESCO's Participation Programme 2018-2019, hereby declare:
Over the last few days our project proposal and we personally as its authors became target of media campaign following the unlawful leakage of the project concept note. The goals of the project were misrepresented, the project accused of peddling "gender ideology", of attempting to propagate a "third sex", to "brainwash children" etc.
As social scientists and outstanding researchers in their field, we are compelled to reply to these accusations in good faith. The goal of our project is to research teacher competence and motivation to uphold and instil in their students the principle of gender equality. We were led by the conviction that knowledge of the everyday problems faced by educators is necessary when implementing working strategies in the spirit of UNESCO's Gender Equality Action Plan 2014-2021 and its Major Programme 2 "Education". These goals are in sync with Bulgaria's National Strategy for Encouraging Equality between Men and Women 2016-2020 and the Law on Equality between Women and Men as published in the State Gazette, issue 33, 26.04.2016. It follows that they should also be in sync with the policies of the Bulgarian Ministry of Education and Sciences.
The slanderous media campaign has terminated our participation in the programme competition and the fact was declared a "success" by the authors of this shameful action.
Obviously, as on previous occasions, the term "gender" is the scarecrow meant to mobilize popular support. It is a globally accepted scientific term for everyone studying the relations between men and women. In the course of the past few months, the term was presented to Bulgarian society in a manipulative way. Does this all mean that from now on everyone who dares to research gender themes such as equality, discrimination, violence, unequal pay, etc., will be ostracized?
In our view this is a very serious case of censorship, where academic freedom is brutally suppressed. At a time when we speak of "Science and education for smart growth", we were presented as a mortal threat to Bulgaria's schools, as "gender agents" endangering Bulgarian children.
As members of the academic community we believe that we must defend our freedom to select research fields in compliance with academic standards, ethical norms and current legislation. We must resist being victimized and subjected to witch hunts.
The attack on our project has provided a new opportunity to proclaim the scientists at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences as redundant and expendable. We wonder who it is that stands to benefit from all this.

DRAFt LETTER
September,
Prof. Julian Revalski
President of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>
Mr. Krasimir Valchev
Minister of Education and Science
Republic of Bulgaria
[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>
Dear Prof. Revalski, Dear Mr Valchev,
It has come to or attention that a project prepared by Bulgarian colleagues entitled "Forum for gender balanced model at school: the Bulgarian case", which was nominated in the first phase of UNESCO's Participation Programme 2018-2019, was banned by the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Education and Science in early August 2018 without consultations with the project team. As a result of this our colleagues were publically humiliated by certain media.
As we understand that there might be some misunderstanding regarding the project we would like to express our support for the research team, guaranteeing that gender research explore the social aspects of masculinity and femininity in society paying attention to different social, cultural, political and economic forces which influence the social attitudes and notions towards men and women. Gender studies is a credible scientific field in the world and it has produced valuable research results tackling different forms of oppression, discrimination and violence in the societies.
Having in mind the ongoing attacks against academic research and scholars dealing with gender studies in Europe and beyond we are concern about the academic freedom and the right of our colleagues to investigate significant topics related to gender. Hereby, based on the research done we declare that the term "gender ideology" is a made-up concept without any scientific value aiming to sabotage women and LGBT rights and it is used manipulatively in many campaigns.
(The name of the platform you would like to use) is.......(consist of...members) and we are devoted to investigate and analyze the ..... and we encourage you to initiate a dialogue with the project team about their activities which hopefully will produce further initiatives and produce knowledge needed for the Bulgarian public policies and contribute to the social sciences on a global level.

Subject: CfP PhD course & research workshop "Magic, Spirits and Power: Transgressing the Religious / Secular Divide"
Call for papers - PhD course and research workshop
"Magic, Spirits and Power: Transgressing the Religious - Secular Divide"
Centre of African Studies and the PhD school at the Faculty of Theology, University of Copenhagen, 15-16 Nov. 2018
Extended registration deadline: 12 October 2018
Description
Since the early pioneering studies by Evans-Pritchard in the 1930s, the study of witchcraft has been a prominent theme in anthropological and African studies. The classical legacy has been challenged and developed by later generations of scholars such as Peter Geschiere, Harry West, Isaak Niehaus, Adam Ashforth. Others, such as Florence Bernault have discussed witchcraft and the fetish from a historical perspective, looking particularly into the how witchcraft was part of the colonial lexicon. From a different context, Nils Bubandt has argued against perceiving witchcraft as a system of belief that people draw on in order to explain the world. On the contrary, in the context of an Indonesian island, Bubandt argues that witchcraft is more about doubt and confusions than about explanation.
In this Ph.D. course / workshop, we will address the question of how to approach and understand magic and spirits and their relationship to power. It is widely recognised (in anthropology, religious studies and African studies) that in African societies for instance there is a strong linkage between the political and the spiritual spheres. Spirits are part of the world people inhabit and they have agency. This course addresses both methodological and theoretical questions of how to understand magic and spirits. How do we on the one hand avoid using pejorative and exotisising terms (implying that we are studying something irrational) and on the other hand move beyond a particular culturally informed analysis? The analysis of magic and spirits has for long been closely related to analytical categories of belief and specific religious ideas. In this course, we wish to open up such debates and examine other ways of analysing and understanding spirits. Moreover, we seek to question the underlying oppositional categories of the religious and the secular by indicating that magic and spirits in a broad sense is part of how people perceive and act in the world.
The course will be organized as a one-day course (lunch-to-lunch), with presentations from invited key notes speakers and workshops with paper presentation from Ph.D. students and other interested scholars.
The themes of the course include (but are not limited to):
* witchcraft and the categories of religion and secularity
* witchcraft and rationality
* withcraft, belief and doubt
* witchcraft, insecurity and uncertainty
* witchcraft as practice and discourse
* social science on and as witchcraft
Date and time: 15 November (Lunch) - 16 November (Lunch) 2018

Subject: 2 New Courses on Anthropology of Iran (Spring 2019): Iranian and Persian Gulf Studies, Oklahoma State University
Iranian and Persian Gulf Studies, Oklahoma State University New Course (spring 2019)
Media and Visual Anthropology of the Anthropocene Oil and Reading the Soul of Things
This course will examine the role of material culture and visual media in anthropological studies of climate change and the Anthropocene. During the semester, students will investigate the importance of film footage, photographs, museum objects and archival documents collected by foreign scientists (geologists, geographers, botanists, anthropologists, ethnographers) since 1920 to study the role of the oil industry on the Anthropocene transformation, the Great Acceleration and consequently the changes in the lives of pastoral nomads of Western and South western Iran.

Iranian and Persian Gulf Studies, Oklahoma State University New Course (spring 2019)
Anthropology of Visual Propaganda: Iran-US Relations since the 1979 Iranian Revolution
This course will investigate how images (photographs, films, illustrations) have been used as powerful propaganda tools by Iran and the United States since the 1979 Iranian Revolution. Students will study how visual framing of Iran-U.S. conflicts influences viewers' emotional responses and evaluations of communicative quality.
