\nProducing and transmitting knowledge audio- and\/or visually<\/a> [VANEASA]<\/p>\n

Beate Engelbrecht (Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity)
\nFelicia Hughes-Freeland (SOAS)<\/p>\n

Visual anthropologists explore economic, religious and other kinds of social processes audio-visually. They produce audio-visual documents, they analyse subject-generated ones and engage in collaborative projects. What do they contribute to the creation and transmission of anthropological knowledge?<\/p>\n

Media anthropology’s legacies and concerns<\/a> [Media Anthropology Network]<\/p>\n

Philipp Budka (University of Vienna)
\nJohn Postill (RMIT University)
\nElisenda Ard\u00e8vol (Universitat Oberta de Catalunya)<\/p>\n

The EASA Media Anthropology Network panel seeks to put fundamental concerns of media anthropology, such as the mediation of power, media related forms of production and consumption, the relationship between media and religion, and the mediation of knowledge, back into the centre of attention.<\/p>\n

Technologies, bodies and identities on the move: Migration in the modern electronic technoscape<\/a><\/p>\n

Karen Fog Olwig (University of Copenhagen)
\nHeather Horst (Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology)<\/p>\n

Since Appadurai coined the term “technoscape” electronic technologies of communication and information have developed at a rapid pace. The panel examines how this complex technoscape of cell phones, social media, GPS-systems and biometric technologies shapes and is shaped by human movement.<\/p>\n

Impact and localization of international knowledge regimes<\/a><\/p>\n

Birgit Br\u00e4uchler (Monash University)
\nSabine Mannitz (Peace Research Institute Frankfurt)<\/p>\n

The panel looks at international knowledge regimes as they evolved around issues such as human rights, citizenship, indigeneity, peacebuilding, security or new media technologies. It puts a special focus on their national and local adoption and emerging hierarchies of knowledge and power.<\/p>\n

Digital Media Cultures and Extreme Speech<\/a><\/p>\n

Sahana Udupa (Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity)
\nMatti Pohjonen (Dublin City University (DCU))<\/p>\n

The panel examines the significance of “extreme speech” in digital cultures across the world and its cultural, social and political implications.<\/p>\n

Kinship – taking stock in the light of social media<\/a><\/p>\n

Elisabetta Costa (British Institute at Ankara (BIAA))
\nRazvan Nicolescu (University College London)<\/p>\n

The panel discusses the place of kinship in the light of the ways people create and maintain personal relationships and networks using social media. It explores kinship in direct juxtaposition with other networks such as ‘traditional’ friendship and ‘online’ only friendship.<\/p>\n

Reassembling the visual: from visual legacies to digital futures<\/a> [VANEASA]<\/p>\n

Catarina Alves Costa (Universidade Nova de Lisboa)
\nRoger Canals (University of Barcelona)<\/p>\n

Since its beginnings, Anthropology has taken an interest in visuality. Still, this has not produced any unified field of research but rather a multiplicity of areas seen as disconnected. This panel welcomes researches aiming to integrate different aspects of the visual in anthropology.<\/p>\n

The art of slowing down<\/a><\/p>\n

Giulia Battaglia (Universit\u00e9 Sorbonne Nouvelle – Paris 3)
\nJasmin Kashanipour (University of Vienna)<\/p>\n

Slowness needs protection” (Eriksen 2001). Yet, does anthropology encourage ‘slowness’ in its own practice? We encourage reflections around the neoliberal politics of speed and the notion of ‘slowing down’ as a useful practice to re-vitalise anthropological legacies towards a more engaging future.<\/p>\n

The impact of images: knowledge, circulation and contested ways of seeing<\/a> [VANEASA]<\/p>\n

Helena Wulff (Stockholm University)
\nThomas Fillitz (University of Vienna)<\/p>\n

Building on the legacy of visual research in anthropology, this panel explores the explosion of images in social life from photographs to selfies, posters, the arts and hypermedia in relation to knowledge production, circulation and contestation including methods, the market, aesthetics and ethics.<\/p>\n

Skilled Engagements<\/a> [VANEASA]<\/p>\n

Cristina Grasseni (Utrecht University)
\nRupert Cox (Manchester University)<\/p>\n

We explore the notion of ‘engagement’ in terms of the skilled application of the senses and of media, building on the ethnographic study of apprenticeship as a primary mode of ‘enskilment’. Papers should critically investigate technology and the evidential power of media making.<\/p>\n

Public and Private Redrawn: Geosocial Sex and the Offline<\/a> [ENQA]<\/p>\n

Matthew McGuire (Cambridge)
\nMichael Connors Jackman (Memorial University of Newfoundland)<\/p>\n

This panel will explore in a global context the reconstitution by geosocial cruising technologies of two sets of oppositions-online\/offline and public\/private- to deal with the co-constitution of sexual lifeworlds at the interface of geosociality and physicality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
