The Future/s of Anthropology: Submit Your Article Proposal by 8/15
Anthropology News seeks contributions for a thematic issue on the future/s
of anthropology. To participate, email a 300-word abstract and 50-100-word
biosketch to editor Dinah Winnick (dwinnick at aaanet.org) by August 15.
Selected authors will be asked to submit commentaries of 1000-1400 words or
shorter pieces for other article types
This topic responds to the 2009 AAA Annual Meeting theme "The End/s of
Anthropology," prompting conversations on contemporary challenges facing the
discipline and innovative visions of new directions, goals, audiences,
theoretical orientations and methodologies. Proposed articles may address a
variety of issues related to this theme, including (but not limited to):
What does our increasing emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration and
public engagement mean for the future of anthropology?
How will the diffusion of anthropological theory and practice into other
disciplines impact anthropology education and how we identify as
anthropologists?
How will we experience the relation between academic and practicing
anthropology, and anthropology as a four-field discipline, in future years?
How will US-based anthropologists' increasing awareness of and engagement
with vibrant scholarly communities outside the US impact the discipline?
How are anthropology's relationships to various publics and disciplines
changing?
What kinds of publics might we seek to address or produce with our work, and
how do we push the field's epistemological and presentational conventions to
effectively do so?
How must we rethink notions of space and time in relation to new
anthropological subjects and audiences, including migrant, diasporic,
transnational and digital communities?
How do we conceptualize the proliferation of mass mediated intimacies, and
what can this tell us about new forms of engagement?
Article proposal submission deadline: August 15, 2009
