Message-ID: <004f01c6fe09$6cca5d00$0300a8c0@D7ZX4M91>

"Polis and Politics: Italian Urbanism under Fascism"
Columbia University in the City of New York
April 27 and 28, 2007

Deadline: December 15, 2006

In Fascist Italy the urban environment served as a critical cultural 
reference from which artists, architects, politicians, and planners sought 
to fashion a new Italy. This conference asks the question of why the city 
exerted such a powerful influence over contemporary artistic practice and 
what were the consequences. While scholars have documented many of the major 
urban interventions in cities such as Rome and considerable attention has 
been given to the new towns founded by Mussolini, recently historians have 
begun to look at other models and examples that enrich and complicate our 
understanding of Fascism's interest in cities and towns.

We invite papers dealing with a broad range of concerns, such as colonial 
town planning, the fabrication of collective memory through monuments, 
ideologically selective archaeology and preservation, the Italian 
translation of CIAM principles, and the intensely politicized nature of 
urban interventions in the period of Fascist rule. We encourage papers from 
the broad range of disciplines that have contributed to modern Italian 
architectural history, including anthropology, geography, history and 
literary criticism.
To be considered, please submit an abstract (300 words, maximum) and a brief 
c.v. by December 15, 2006 to Andrew Manson at ajm56@columbia.edu. Complete 
papers will be due in March 2007, and are expected to be approximately 25 
minutes in length. Graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and junior 
faculty are particularly encouraged to apply. The conference is co-sponsored 
by the Department of Art History, the Graduate School of Architecture, 
Planning and Preservation, and the Italian Academy.

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS 10 POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS FOR 
ACADEMIC YEAR 2007/2008

The Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences, the Fritz Thyssen Foundation
and the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin invite scholars to apply for ten
post-doctoral fellowships for the program

EUROPE IN THE MIDDLE EAST - THE MIDDLE EAST IN EUROPE

This research program seeks to rethink key concepts and premises that link
and divide Europe and the Middle East. The project draws on the
international expertise of scholars in and outside of Germany and is
embedded in university and extra-university research institutions in
Berlin. 'Europe in the Middle East - The Middle East in Europe' supports
historical-critical philology, rigorous engagement with the literatures of
the Middle East and their histories, the social history of cities and the
study of Middle Eastern political and philosophical thought (Christian,
Jewish, Muslim, and secular) as central fields of research not only for
area or cultural studies, but also for European intellectual history and
other academic disciplines. The program explores modernity as a historical
space and conceptual frame. The program puts forward three programmatic
ideas:

1) supporting research that demonstrates the rich and complex historical
legacies and entanglements between Europe and the Middle East 2)
reexamining genealogical notions of mythical 'beginnings', 'origins', and
'purity' in relation to culture and society 3) rethinking key concepts of
a shared modernity in light of contemporary cultural, social, and
political entanglements that supersede identity discourses as well as
national, cultural or regional canons and epistemologies that were
established in the nineteenth century.

The program 'Europe in the Middle East - the Middle East in Europe' is
funded by the Fritz Thyssen Foundation. It supports and builds upon the
following interconnected research fields:

CITIES COMPARED: COSMOPOLITANISM IN THE MEDITERRANEAN 
AND ADJACENT REGIONS

This research group is directed by Ulrike Freitag and Nora Lafi, both of
the Centre for Modern Oriental Studies (Zentrum Moderner Orient ZMO),
Berlin. It contributes to the debate on cosmopolitanism and civil society
from the historical experience of conviviality and socio-cultural, ethnic,
and religious differences in the cities around the Mediterranean

ISLAMIC DISCOURSE CONTESTED: MIDDLE EASTERN AND EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVES

This research group is directed by Gudrun Kraemer, Institute for Islamic
Studies, Freie Universitaet Berlin. It analyzes modern Middle Eastern
thought and discourses in the framework of theories of multiple or
reflexive modernities;

PERSPECTIVES ON THE QUR'AN: NEGOTIATING DIFFERENT VIEWS 
OF A SHARED HISTORY

This research group is directed by Angelika Neuwirth, Seminar for Arabic
Studies, Freie Universitaet Berlin, and Stefan Wild, Universitaet Bonn. It
situates the foundational text of Islam within the religious landscape of
late antiquity and combines a historicization of its genesis with an
analysis of its reception and perception in Europe and the Middle East;

TRAVELLING TRADITIONS: COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVES ON 
NEAR EASTERN LITERATURES

This research group is directed by Friederike Pannewick, Oslo University,
and Samah Selim, IREMAM, Aix-en-Provence. It reassesses literary
entanglements and processes of canonization between Europe and the Middle
East.

TRADITION AND THE CRITIQUE OF MODERNITY: SECULARISM, 
FUNDAMENTALISM AND RELIGION FROM MIDDLE EASTERN PERSPECTIVES

Is a special forum, directed by Amnon Raz-Krakotzkin, Ben Gurion
University, that will accompany the four research groups. The idea is to
rethink key concepts of modernity like secularity, tradition, or religion
in the context of the experiences, interpretations, and critiques of Jews,
Arabs, and Muslims in the Middle East and in Europe.

PREREQUISITES AND APPLICATION PROCEDURE

The fellowships are intended above all for scholars of history,
literature, philology, political philosophy, religion and sociology from
the Middle East who want to carry out their research projects in
connection with the Berlin program. Fellows gain the opportunity to pursue
research projects of their choice within the framework of one of the
above-mentioned research fields and in relation to the program 'Europe in
the Middle East - the Middle East in Europe'. In Berlin, they will be
integrated into a university or non-university research institute. The
working language of the research program is English. Fellows will receive
a monthly stipend of 1.800 EUR (supplement for accompanying spouses: EUR
250) and are obliged to work in Berlin and to help shape the seminars and
working discussions related to their research field. As a rule, the
fellowships begin on 1 October 2007 and end on 31 July 2008. The
applicant's doctorate should have been completed no earlier than 1999.

An application should be made in explicit relation to one of the four

Protesters pour into Mexico's violent Oaxaca city
By Frank Jack Daniel
http://news.scotsman.com/latest.cfm?id=1641422006
Reuters, Sun 5 Nov 2006

OAXACA, Mexico (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of protesters trying to oust a 
state governor marched on Sunday in the Mexican tourist city of Oaxaca where 
demonstrators clashed with police last week in a deepening conflict.

Soldiers searched cars for weapons and riot police unrolled razor wire in 
the city centre as a security measure for the protest by opponents of Gov. 
Ulises Ruiz, who is accused of authoritarianism and corruption and refuses 
to resign.

"The people are demanding the Oaxaca governor goes, even though there is 
blood. The people are ready to die," said protester Esther Guzman, a 
teacher.

A five-month-long local conflict in Oaxaca spiralled into a national problem 
when President Vicente Fox sent thousands of federal riot police to expel 
striking teachers and leftist activists from the street barricades they had 
built.

Federal forces backed by armoured vehicles with water canons clashed with 
protesters throwing gasoline bombs last week. At least one protester was 
killed in clashes, bringing the death toll since the conflict started to 
about 15, mostly activists.

On Sunday, one youth was wounded when gunmen opened fire on a university 
campus occupied by students. The campus contains a protester-run radio 
station.

In Oaxaca city's leafy central square, police donned body armour in fear of 
clashes with marchers. The army checked cars on highways into the city, 
apparently looking for firearms.

Before the crisis, Oaxaca was popular with visitors for its Spanish colonial 
buildings, Indian cultures and thriving art scene. But in the hills beyond 
Oaxaca city's wide valley, villagers live in grinding poverty, with poor 
schooling, few jobs and bad health care.

Fox has vowed to resolve the Oaxaca issue before fellow conservative Felipe 
Calderon takes office on December 1 but Gov. Ruiz, from the opposition 
Institutional Revolutionary Party, refuses to step down.
His opponents, a loose coalition of teachers, Indian groups and leftists, 
also vow not to give in and enjoy the support of a large part of the mostly 
poor population of rural Oaxaca.

A prolonged crisis in the state will be a challenge for Calderon, who 
already faces protests from supporters of his leftist rival Andres Manuel 
Lopez Obrador who claim the conservative won July 2 presidential elections 
fraudulently.

"Many different leftist currents are converging here, from the centre-left 
of Lopez Obrador to the most radical," said Isaac Torres, a member of a 
human rights group affiliated with the Zapatista guerrillas.
"If Calderon doesn't moderate his policies he will face problems," he said.

Lopez Obrador supporters organised massive street marches and camped out in 
central Mexico City for much of the summer to reject the July election 
result.

Call for Papers

 

Navigating African and Black Diaspora: Crossing, Belonging  and Presence

 

The new international journal of African and Black Diaspora (Routledge)
seeks manuscripts that critically examine notions of crossing, belonging
and presence in the context of African and Black Diaspora. 

 

Given that diaspora is a distinctive historical experience, with its own
particular history and forms of subjectivity and relationality, in what
ways does the intersectionality of crossing, belonging and presence
offer a conceptual grid for historicized analysis of the trans/national
movement of individuals and groups of African and Black Diaspora? How
might these notions articulate the particularities of African and Black
Diaspora and their transoceanic, trans-imperial narratives in marking
the terror of empire?  How do notions of crossing, belonging and
presence provide for a critical reading of the traveling cultures of the
African and Black Diaspora? In what ways do crossing, belonging and
presence serve as site for a critical discourse for African and Black
Diaspora in the age of globalization? 

 

The journal of African and Black Diaspora is devoted to a critical
interrogation of the trans/national movements, locations and
intersections of subjectivity within the African Diaspora in the context
of globalization as well as in different discourses, practices and
political contexts. The journal maps and navigates the theoretical and
political shifts imposed by the nation-state to provide a
counter-narrative of subject positions of people of the African
diaspora,  grounded in cultural and political responses.

 

The journal seeks to broaden and deepen the study of the African and
Black Diaspora by providing a critical venue for new historical and
theoretical interventions to map out the intersections and multiple
narratives of the African and Black Diaspora with other diasporas in all
parts of the globe and across time and space.  The journal seeks to
historicize these diasporic movements, and analyze their relationality
across fields of social relations, subjectivities and identities.

How to Submit

Three complete copies of each manuscript should be submitted to any
editor. They should be typed on one side of the paper, double spaced,
with one inch margins, and bear the title of the article and name(s) of
the author(s), along with a copy on 3.5 inch disk or CD in ASCII text,
WordPerfect, Word for DOS, Word for Windows, Microsoft Word or RTF
format. The full postal address of the author who will check proofs and
receive correspondence should also be included. All pages should be
numbered.  Footnotes should be avoided. For advice in advance of
submission contact one of the Editors. 

The deadline for submission is March 30, 2007.

 Manuscripts for the special issue should be sent to one of the Editors:

                              Refreshments will be served.

Poverty and homelessness are fundamental and growing concerns in urban
settings and the global economy.  SUNTA previously sponsored a working
group on these issues which lapsed several years ago.  The purpose of
this meeting is to reactivate this entity, and to reexamine the role of
SUNTA and AAA in addressing the theoretical, political, and policy
issues entailed in research and practice related to poverty.  

 If you are engaged in research about poverty, homelessness, welfare, or
related topics, please attend this reception.   This will be a
semi-formal discussion of ideas about how to instigate more interest and
awareness of Anthropologists and fellow travelers, especially those who
might have influence on policy and practice.  

Some obvious actions of a work group like this would include organizing
panels at AAA and allied professional meetings; developing special
issues of City & Society, North American Dialogue, Transforming
Anthropology, and other section journals; sponsoring informational
events for media at annual meetings; developing collections of syllabi
and bibliographies.

Other topics we might explore include:

1. Changing the public discourse and perceptions about the causes of
poverty

2. Linking housing, health, and economic polices to recent increases in
rates of poverty.  

3. Production of white papers and other documents intended to marshal
evidence and narratives about the implications of poverty, potential
solutions for these problems, and identities of the real culprits in the
intensifying war on the poor.

ANNOUNCING: 

H-Borderlands: H-Net Network on U.S.-Mexico Borderlands

Member of: H-Net: Humanities and Social Sciences Online
http://www.h-net.org

ABOUT

H-Borderlands is dedicated to the history, culture, politics, and
contemporary affairs of the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands specifically, and
comparative borderlands more broadly. 
The network seeks to integrate the longstanding focus upon the Spanish
and U.S.-Mexican Borderlands with the global and metaphorical
borderlands made popular by recent international events and discussions
among scholars and policy makers. The network builds upon the themes and
issues covered in various listservs by charting new avenues of discourse
that investigate comparative borderlands, globalization and
transnationalism, the borderlands of race and gender, public policy, and
borderlands theory. 
In doing so, the discussion list will provide an interdisciplinary forum
for scholars and those outside of academe to discuss issues pertinent to
Borderlands Studies. The audience, content, tone, intellectual scope,
Editorial and Advisory Boards, and services provided by the discussion
list will reflect the vitality of the field(s) comprising Borderlands
Studies in the broadest sense.
Like all H-Net lists, H-Borderlands is moderated to edit out material
that, in the editors' opinion, is not germane to the list, involves
technical matters (such as subscription management requests), is
inflammatory, or violates evolving, yet common, standards of Internet
etiquette. H-Net's procedure for resolving disputes over list editorial
practices is Article II, Section 2.20 of our bylaws, located at:

Program Theme: The Language of Violence: Critical Thinking About War and 
Peace

www.peaceconsortium.org <http://www.peaceconsortium.org/>
Over the last five years, the language of violence has entered public 
discourse more than ever before. Words like "war," "terrorism," even "peace" 
are being used in new ways. In this conference we want to ask questions 
about the use and meaning of language and the way language shapes public 
consciousness, ethical thinking and responses to violence (in the media, 
from government and military spokespeople, in entertainment, in the 
academy). We invite proposals from professors, activists, graduate and 
undergraduate students, across the disciplines, in areas relating to, but no 
restricted to, the rhetoric of violence.

Message-ID: <001901c7060a$685fd8e0$0300a8c0@D7ZX4M91>

Choreographies of Migration: Dance and Immigration Conference
Deadline: proposals must be received by February 1, 2007

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Congress on Research in Dance and 
the centennial of Jos? Lim?n (1908 - 1972), CORD in partnership with Barnard 
College and the Lim?n Institute will host a conference titled 
"Choreographies of Migration" in New York City on November 8 - 11, 2007. The 
interdisciplinary conference aims to gather scholars and artists to explore 
dance's past, present and future through the critical prism of migration.

The Conference Program Committee invites proposals for individual papers, 
panels, lecture-demonstrations and workshops on all aspects of the 
performing arts, especially those that engage questions related to the 
conference theme: How has migration shaped the course of dance history? What 
are the methodological and theoretical implications of migration studies for 
dance research? How do particular dance styles embody migratory histories? 
How has migration transformed the pedagogy and performance of traditional 
dance forms? What are the particular histories of networks of teachers, 
artists, and critics that constitute "the dance world"? What could dance 
reveal about the experiences and conditions of immigration, diaspora, exile, 
detention, globalization, displacement, and other forms of social 
im/mobility?

Possible topics include historical, ethnographic and/or theoretical studies 
of:

global migrations of social, theatrical, sacred dance, and/or theatrical 
forms
dance and the exilic memory
new research on ancient migrations
immigration policy and the arts
migratory rituals and border performances
transnational or "world" music and dance forms

The conference will take the occasion of Jos? Lim?n's centennial to reflect 
on the ways that immigrant experiences shaped dance modernism in the US and 
abroad. As such, we especially invite proposals that explore the impact of 
immigration on the life and work of artists such as Jos? Lim?n, George 
Balanchine, Eiko & Koma, Garth Fagan, Geoffrey Holder, Hanya Holm, Rudolf 
Laban, Vaslav Nijinksky, Pearl Primus, and Yuriko, among many others.

For complete submission guidelines and forms see the conference website: 
www.barnard.edu/dance/cord


Individual Papers should not exceed 20 minutes for presentation. (There will 
be an additional 10 minutes for questions, comments, and responses.) Submit 
a 500 word abstract of the paper, its argument, and a statement of method 
and/or a brief bibliography. Graduate students who wish to be considered for 
the Graduate Research Award should submit a full-length paper in addition to 
an abstract.
Panels consisting of three individual presenters may be proposed. Submit a 
250 word description of the panel and individual paper proposals-as 
described above-for each presenter. Please send panel proposals together.

Lecture-Demonstrations or Workshops may run from 45 to 90 minutes. Submit a 
500 word abstract describing the topic and organization of the session. 
Also, clearly state the requirements for space, time, audio-visual 
equipment, and/or appropriate attire for participants.

For all Proposals
All proposals must be accompanied by a submission form. (See website for 
downloadable submission form.) Do not include the name of the author(s)

Refugee and Rejection Website: The Humanities in the Study of Forced 
Migration

The humanities have not had a common forum for discussion of refugees
and forcibly displaced persons. We hope to provide that central place in
our new web-based site:  "Refuge & Rejection:  The Humanities in the
Study of Forced Migration."

"Refuge & Rejection" is an initiative that hopes to fill the need for
thoughtful and challenging humanities scholarship on these themes, and
to engage your review and participation. Sponsored by the Institute for
Humanities Research at Arizona State University, "Refuge & Rejection"
has an international editorial board of scholars interested in the
humanities. Our first issue will feature Professor Anna Holian in an
essay "Refugees and the Humanities:  A Challenge", along with comments
by Howard Adelman and Carl Bon Tempo.  Additional essays, portraits, and
image galleries will be offered in the coming months. We also provide a
wide variety of online links for other resources.  We very much
encourage comment and submission of work from the humanities on refugees
and forced migration..

We invite you to visit the "Refuge & Rejection" website, view the
latest contributions and to participate in online forums.  Please
consider whether your own work might be submitted for peer review and
publication.

Ethnoscapes: An Interdisciplinary Journal on Race and Ethnicity in the
Global Context

Issue One, Fall 2007
?Race and Coalition?


The editorial staff of the new peer-reviewed journal Ethnoscapes: An
Interdisciplinary Journal on Race and Ethnicity in the Global Context
invites submissions for its inaugural issue on the subject of ?Race and
Coalition.? Ethnoscapes maps the development of important themes in the
field of race and ethnic studies by using a ?classic? piece as a point of
departure for a reconsideration of critical issues within the contemporary
economic, political, and cultural terrain.

While the classic piece establishes the thematic parameters of each issue,
authors are under no obligation to actively engage the arguments posed by
that work.

Issue one explores the subject of ?Race and Coalition? with consideration
of Stokely Carmichael (Kwame Ture) and Charles V. Hamilton?s ?The Myths of
Coalition? from the 1967 text Black Power: The Politics of Liberation.  In
this seminal essay, the authors question the viability of coalitions that
do not seek radical changes in racial hierarchy, include partners with
disparate amounts of economic and political power, and rely on
sentimentality and goodwill to build and maintain cohesiveness.

The authors argue instead that viable and productive coalitions must do
the following:

1) 	recognize the self-interests of the groups involved in the relationship;
2) 	have the capacity for realizing the self-interests of each group;
3) 	articulate their own ?independent base of power?;
4) 	have specific goals.

Proceeding from this articulation of coalition politics, Ethnoscapes seeks
manuscripts that investigate the dynamics of ?Race and Coalition? with
particular attention to one or more of the following themes:

A)	Theoretical Foundations of Coalition. If organizing is no longer forged
on the basis of shared identity or ?unity,? what serves as the
?foundation? for political mobilization? What new forms of coalition,
alliance, or issue-based organizing have emerged in the current political,
economic, and cultural context? Can these convergences operate only
temporarily or can they be more sustained? How can/must/do coalitions
negotiate differences along the lines of gender, sexuality, nationality,
religion, and class in articulating a shared platform? What productive
alliances have been or can be forged between different marginalized
groups? What makes these coalitions cohere? How do these projects
(re)shape experiences of race and ethnicity?

B)	The Multicultural Terrain of Organizing in the United States. With the
rise of Asian/Pacific American and Latino/a social movements, how is the
concept of ?coalition? being rearticulated today? Does the ?people of
color? construct, expressing the common bonds of non-white groups, still
make sense? What new challenges to coalition-building emerge in the
context of the variable power relations of nations, economic operations,
and discourse that characterize the contemporary multiracial terrain of US
organizing? What strategies can be mobilized to negotiate these
differences? What roles are available to whites in multiracial coalitions
and in coalitions for racial justice?

C) The Global Context. What challenges and possibilities do new
communications and other technologies linking people across the globe
offer for multiracial coalitions? How do the ties of nation, state, and
culture complicate efforts to organize pan-ethnically? How can models of
organizing around race throughout the world, or on behalf of racially
identified groups and concerns, usefully inform organizing strategies in
the US context, or vice versa? What is at stake and where are we headed?

The deadline for manuscript submission is February 16, 2007. Please send
submissions to mmaltry@kirwaninstitute.org and
editors@kirwaninstitute.org.  See
http://www.kirwaninstitute.org/ethnoscapes/styleguide.html to prepare your
document in accordance with the style guidelines of Ethnoscapes.

SPATIAL AMERICAS
April 19-20, 2007
University of California, Santa Barbara
http://spatial.americas.googlepages.com/home

ABSTRACTS DUE 1/22/07

A recent article in London's Financial Times (FT) warned its market- 
minded readers that the "plight of La Paz provides an illustration of  
how a city's unchecked growth can threaten stability."* The article  
went on to detail how El Alto, a "slum" city of 1 million located on  
a plateau above the Bolivian capital, disrupts business as usual not  
just with by now familiar complaints of "pot-holed roads, belching  
minibuses, street vendors and packs of stray dogs," but the radical  
spatial praxis of its inhabitants.

El Alto, the FT asserted anxiously, is the unruly space of urban  
militancy that has frequently brought international trade to a  
standstill with strategic roadblocks-the city sits squarely on all  
main roads leading to the airport and the country's interior- 
disrupting the flows of global (mostly foreign) capital. Furthermore,  
El Alto is the site of protests that have toppled two presidents in  
the past five years and propelled anti-capitalism candidate Evo  
Morales to power in December 2005, Bolivia's first indigenous head of  
state.

It is no small irony then that El Alto translates to English as "The  
High" but also "The Halt." As the FT ascertained, it is El Alto's  
adjacency, looming over and dangerously supplementing the seat of  
government, which is worth noting, indeed worth pausing for.

"Spatial Americas" invites graduate students and emerging scholars  
(recent PhDs and junior faculty) in the humanities and social  
sciences to take such pause and present works in progress that engage  
space (both as material and discursive forms) and spatiality (the  
theoretical and tactical processes through which space is produced)  
in the Americas broadly defined: south to north, precontact to the  
present, or as part of a comparative study.

A principal polemic thrust of postcolonial theory to date has been  
the centrality of history-time and its mis/use-in the (re)production  
of both mastering and emancipatory narratives. But if, as John Berger  
suggests, "it is space not time that hides the consequences from  
us"** -in other words, space is so naturalized within the historical  
frame as to be inert if not outright duplicitous-then perhaps we  
should finally attend to space and spatiality of human being and  
becoming with the same criticality that has been lavished upon time.  
This has been the call of the so-called spatial turn in the U.S.  
academe, consolidated in the last two decades around the work of  
Michel Foucault, Henri Lefebvre, Manuel Castells, David Harvey and  
Mike Davis.

For Americanists, neither this "turn" nor the Financial Times's  
alarmist report is much news. Space and spatiality have facilitated  
conversations across time period and case study for some time now,  
defining the converging fields of American and Latin American  
Studies. Religion, empire, commerce and natural disaster have all  
generated a rich palimpsest of spatial relations to investigate and  
to serve as nodes for hemispheric cross-reference.

This said, we still struggle to place the material and discursive  
aspects of space in a more meaningful dialogue. How are we to put  
them together methodologically-speaking? Space is too often treated  
either as something entirely concrete to be mapped and "explained,"  
or as pure mental construct, ideas about and representations of space  
flagged for their "significance." That space is not static and in  
fact constantly reproduced is often underestimated as well. But it is  
in this repetition that space is activated as a category of cultural  
analysis, leaving room for critique at its less than seamless  
joints.  "Spatial Americas" asks that its participants self- 
consciously attempt to work out in their presentations an  
architectonics for this dialogue between the material and discursive  
and envision spatial cultures critically.

Please send abstracts  (500 words or less) for a 20-minute  
presentation along with a short bio and contact information (name,  
affiliation, phone and e-mail address) to George Flaherty at  
spatial.americas@gmail.com by January 22, 2007. Authors of accepted

*CALL FOR PARTICIPATION*

*ENCLOSURE, EMANCIPATORY COMMUNICATION AND THE GLOBAL CITY:
AN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF THE UNION FOR DEMOCRATIC COMMUNICATIONS*

* *

*     Hosted by the School of Communication, Simon Fraser University  *

*    October 25-28, 2007  *

*PROPOSAL DEADLINE: MARCH 15, 2007*

The field of culture and communication manifests struggles between contradictory tendencies.  On the one hand, pressures from capital and state sometimes promote various forms of /enclosure/ -- the private appropriation, suppression or marginalization of socially-produced public expression.  Enclosure comes in many guises: the commodification of information; concentration and hyper-commercialism in media industries; the corporatization of universities; restrictive "intellectual property" regimes; or market authoritarianism as a mode of governance.

On the other hand, progressive forces, from artists and academics to broad social movements, are not only resisting  such enclosure, but developing practices and policies that prefigure/ emancipation/ -- new ways of re-organizing culture and communication democratically.  These include struggles over alternative media, state cultural policies, communication rights, reform of media and cultural institutions, audience empowerment, urban public space, and much else.

At the nexus of changing national cultures and policies, of transnational migrations and markets, of media flows and audiences, of consumption and surveillance, the /global city/ is emerging as a key site for such contestation.

The Union for Democratic Communications invites proposals, from artists, activists and media scholars, for presentations, roundtables, workshops and panels that examine and critique the relationship between forces of enclosure and emancipation, especially in the context of the global city (broadly defined).  Other topics relevant to democratic communication are also very welcome.

The keynote address will be delivered by Mike Davis, author of /City of Quartz/, /Ecology of Fear/ and, most recently, /Planet of Slums/.  Other featured speakers, including Dan Schiller, Nick Dyer-Witheford and Dee Dee Halleck (UDC Smythe Award recipient), will be complemented by presenters on a wide range of topics, video and other media presentations, and interaction with local activist and artistic groups concerned with democratizing communication.  The conference coincides with Vancouver's annual Media Democracy Day, featuring an Independent Media Fair at the city's architecturally acclaimed public library.

For the first time, the UDC conference will be held in downtown Vancouver, Canada, hosted by Simon Fraser University's School of Communication; co-sponsors include the SFU Institute for the Humanities and the British Columbia Libraries Association.  Vancouver is about 120 miles north of Seattle, and offers direct flight connections to many cities in Canada and the US.  Vancouver is surely a 'global city': Canada's "gateway to the Pacific" and host to the upcoming 2010 Winter Olympics, perched amidst spectacular mountain and coastal scenery and recreation, but also home of Canada's poorest urban district and historically an incubator of influential social movements.

Proposals are invited for both individual papers and panel or workshop sessions.  Individual paper proposals should include a title, a brief (maximum 250 word) abstract of the presentation, and contact information including name, title, institution, mailing address, telephone, fax and email address.  Panel session proposals should include titles, contact information, and a brief (maximum 250 word) abstract for /each/ panel member; they should also include a short (maximum 100 word) description of the overall panel theme and contact information for the panel chair.  Proposals from artists for individual presentations or panel sessions should also include samples of the work to be presented.  Please identify any audio-visual needs in your proposal as we may not be able to accommodate later requests.

All proposals should be submitted by email to udc2007@sfu.ca in the form of a Word or PDF attachment. Hard copies may also be sent to:

UDC 2007 Conference
School of Communication
Simon Fraser University
Burnaby BC V5A 1S6

Conference presenters are expected to pay registration fees and should be current members of the Union for Democratic Communication (please visit www.udc.org <http://www.udc.org> to join the UDC).

/Limited conference travel funding assistance for student and low-income presenters will be available.  Please send a request with your proposal./

Urban Studies is constituting a broad and significant, interdisciplinary
research area which is essential to understand the current urban condition
of today. The world is facing a situation that it has never faced before.
The majority of the human settlements in the world is under a rapid
urbanization process that contain complex and variant economical,
sociological, architectural and political inputs. Therefore urban studies in
all scales and localities hold great importance to contribute to this
transformation globally. The interdisciplinary and cross-cultural studies
have never been so important than it is today because of the multiple
impacts of events. Post-Fordist, post-colonial, post-industrial, post-war
transformations are just a few of these transitions to trace the spill-over
effects.
In Turkey, there is a clear need for a peer-reviewed academic urban studies
journal to channel the existing and potential researches. It is also
necessary for the accumulation of knowledge in specific areas.There is a
growing interest in cross-disciplinary encounters and studies. Konya
Metropolitan Municipality and EDAM (Education Counseling and Research
Center) have joined forces to initiate a publication in this field.
Journal of Urban Research will be a quarterly peer reviewed academic journal
published by Konya Metropolitan Municipality which will focus on built
environment, urban living and urban management areas to contribute to the
process of promoting new intellectual studies.
Journal of Urban Research as a social science journal in general and as an
urban studies platform in particular will feature the articles on the areas
of urban sociology, city and regional planning, architecture, urban history,
political science, and public management. The interest areas of the journal
will be the concepts which are directly relevant with problems of cities
like urban planning, architecture, human settlements, sociology, criminology
and etc. as well as the phenomenon of globalization, modernization,
traditions, democracy, civil society, public sphere, private sphere,
everyday life and consumption cultures, life styles, mass housing, slum
hosing, and ghettoization. The journal will feature high-qualified
interdisciplinary articles from the areas of sociology, psychology, health,
anthropology, law, political science, international relations, economics,
art history, archeology, literature and communication. Journal of Urban
Research is open to international articles as well as the articles from
Turkey.

"Making sense in the city"

Culture, community and identity in an urban world
Ghent University, Belgium

Date: 17-20 December 2006

This symposium focuses on the impact of global urbanisation on those 
cultural, religious and other ways which generally give human beings meaning 
and direction in their lives. We refer to these as 'sense-making' processes. 
It is a fact that now over half of the world population lives in urban 
contexts, varying from historical cities (of the European and Asian type) 
with heritage character to the new continuously changing urbanised areas 
with multimillion concentrations of people in the so-called Third World. By 
2030 estimates are that over 70% of the world's population will live in an 
urban context (Castells, 2002).

Contemporary social and cultural frames of reference of most of humanity 
have derived from those of village and rural life. However, meaning and 
sense-making processes are likely to be inadequate, when held on to in the 
semi-structured context of urban and suburban life. Life in a city, and 
certainly in a metropolis, seems to involve other ways of building 
relationships, of community building and of sense-giving than that in a 
village. Religions and other types of 'Weltanschauung' have become more 
privatised, and are confronted with competitors of all kinds (e.g. the 
attraction of Buddhisms, New Age, NRM's, etc. in formerly Christian areas). 
At the same time relationships between people are becoming increasingly 
complex, while diversity of all sorts (e.g. gender, religious and ethnic 
identities, leisure groups, life style, etc.) is turning into the rule 
rather than the exception. Both globalisation and urbanisation has 
considerable impacts on cultural phenomena, including the shifts in 
'Weltanschauung', we claim. Although the relationship between globalisation, 
nationalism, transnationalism and urbanisation has been dealt with in 
important work (and is the core business of e.g. the Society for Urban, 
National and Transnational Anthropology, SUNTA of the AAA), so far the link 
with sense-making processes is only marginally addressed. For this symposium 
we invite speakers on the following topics:

Theory formation on urban contexts: is the urban context by necessity the 
only format for modernity, and what does this imply for the urbanised 
citizen in terms of world view (religious or otherwise)? In what ways can we 
describe and theorize the shift from a tribal-village-community perspective 
towards a network-urbanised-individual perspective on life and sense making?

Religion and 'Weltanschauung': from foundations to private resources; the 
emergence of extreme right movements and fundamentalisms as urban 
experiments? The Enlightenment idea of privatization of religions may be up 
for reconsideration in the light of McJihad, Opus Dei and other religious 
formats, or is it?

Inclusion and individualisation, a contradiction? Does the urban context 
induce inclusive rather than exclusive ideologies, or the other way around? 
Linked to this question: what will be the meaning of individual rights, 
sovereignty and the like?

On these topics we invite theoretical reflections as well as case studies 
and comparative analyses from various disciplinary (including non-academic) 
perspectives around the world.

Aim

The aim of the symposium is to stimulate a deeper dialogue on urban 
sense-making processes. To this end we have invited participants coming from 
different perspectives, research and background. As a metaphor for the theme 
of the symposium we will be holding the discussions in the city theater, not 
at the university. Several artists will be invited to perform and to present 
their work during the discussion slots. The city theater will prepare a 
dramaturgical scenery to enhance the dialogue during the symposium.
The structure of the symposium will revolve around the seven papers of the 
keynotes and the art interventions, which will be communicated to all the 
invited participants by the end of September. This communication will allow 
for a thoughtful preparation of the discussions during the symposium. We do 
not ask of the discussants and the young scholars necessarily to present 
their own research, rather to discuss in depth the themes introduced by the 
papers of the keynotes and the art interventions that will be presented 
throughout the symposium.

Themes for keynote speakers on 'Making sense in the city':
Proposed line of discussion throughout the conference:  we conceive of the 
problem area (urban and sense making) as a complex we can 'unpack' from 
different perspectives:

The urban context and its community building features: (its constraints and 
their effects on sense making):
The physical, social and political characteristics of the urban context have 
a certain impact on community building in cities and in megapoles: the 
number of people living together in an anonymous way yields a new type of 
sociality. People are led to live with each other and use the public spaces 
in a way which is good for all, and at the same time knowing that the space 
is not the property of anyone in particular. Anxiety will increase in this 
context, but opportunities grow equally.
Keynote Ulf Hannerz: 'At Home with Uncertainty: Reflections on Living with 
Diversity and Danger'.

The city context and/versus traditions of sense making: islam, 
evangelical/pentacostal missions:
One way the urban context works is by shifting the whole context of meaning 
of life transfer. The general links are not anymore the family or the small 
peer group. Rather, personal networks and relatively 'shallow' religious 
experiences are essential for the urbanized way of life. Religious 
organisations (churches , congregations and the like) are somewhat 
bewildered by this development, be it in Islam, in Christendom or in any 
other large religious tradition.
Keynote Mohammed Arkoun.

The urban context as a cosmopolitan versus a cultural phenomenon (e.g. India 
and the West):
Urban ways of life are sometimes dubbed 'subcultural'. At the same time, 
they appear to be the same or very similar around the world. So what is 
happening? Is it the case that the urban context in itself is producing or 
at the very least inducing a 'new' type of religiosity, and then what is the 
relevance of the heightened cultural identity movements around the world? 
Keynote Paola Bacchetta: 'Producing the Hindu Nationalist City: The RSS and 
its Women's Wing'.

Urban context and media/types of communication:
The former pope John-Paul II was known as a man who introduced modern media 
techniques in the processing of religious messages around the world. 
Lifestyle and media-visibility are more and more important in the world we 
enter in this era. How important are the media constraints and features and 
how do they impact on the messages and the processes of sense making? 
Keynote Faye Ginsburg: 'Black Screens and Cultural Citizenship'.

Urban context and inequality or empowerment:
The urban context produces other (and maybe more) outcasts, and subcultural 
subjects. This poses the problem of empowerment and disempowerment in and by 
the urbanizing processes. Criminality, opting out, loosing power and control 
over life, and so on are typical products of the shift from traditional to 
urban life. Keynote Lo?c Wacquant: 'Territorial Stigmatisation in the Age of 
Advanced Marginality'.

The urban context as built environment and power structure: triggering 
conflicts on making sense:
The urban context is also a built environment. But building construction in 
the city is less and less a question of free choice and vision. Great 
interests and lots of money and power are involved, and the conflicts that 
go with them. Political, communicational and cultural features are relevant 
here.
Keynote Abdou Maliq Simone: 'The Unrelenting City: Practices and Times of 
Urban Change in the Global South'.

Individual workshop: Discussion slot by organizations from the field
Life-stance organisations and socio-cultural workers are confronted with 
great challenges nowadays: traditional membership and commitment are fading 
away, commercial considerations and governement interference are becoming 
more and more apparent... And are people still interested in sense-giving 
and social action anyway? In this session we will discuss some projects and 
actions of social-cultural and life-stance organisations and engage in a 
debate with the public on the role and meaning of life stances and fieldwork 
in contemporary urbanised society.

Hi,



Does anyone have a good handle on some reading concerning theoretical differences between conceptualizing social change as against culture change, particularly with regards to design, environment, and community? I'm develop two upper division classes for Spring: One at Cal Poly Pomona is in the college Environmental Design and called 489: Community Design and Social ChangeThe other is for CSU San Berdoo and called ANT 470 Culture Change and Dynamics I'm trying to organize my thoughts on this so that I can get a core of readings possibly applicable to both courses - but I also want to be able to differentiate them in a fairly sophisticated manner... Thanks in advance for anything anyone can give me!  Susan Mazur-Stommen, Ph.D. www.susanmazur.com 951.687.8661

Fellowships in Sustainability Science
Center for International Development, Harvard University
Due date for preliminary applications:  December 15, 2006


The Sustainability Science Program at Harvard University's Center for
International Development invites applications for resident fellowships
in sustainability science for the University's academic year beginning
in September 2007.  The fellowship competition is open to advanced
doctoral and post-doctoral students, and to professionals engaged in the
practice of harnessing science and technology to promote sustainable
development.   Successful applicants will spend their fellowships in
residence at the Sustainability Science Program, receiving a competitive
stipend plus health, office space and computer support, and access to
Harvard's libraries and other research facilities.  Fellows will be
expected to spend about half time on their own work, and half time in
collaborative work with other fellows and faculty associated with the
Program.

The Sustainability Science Program seeks to advance basic understanding
of the dynamics of human-environment systems; to facilitate the design,
implementation, and evaluation of practical interventions that promote
sustainability in particular places and contexts; and to improve
linkages between relevant research and innovation communities on the one
hand, and relevant policy and management communities on the other.
Applicants should describe how their work would contribute to
"sustainability science," the emerging field of use-inspired research
seeking understanding of the interactions between human and
environmental systems as well as the application of such knowledge to
sustainability challenges relating to advancing development of
agriculture, habitation, energy and materials, health and water while
conserving the earth's life support systems.  In addition to general
funds available to support this fellowship offering, special funds are
available to support applicants from developing countries and Italy, who
are therefore particularly encouraged to apply.

Applicants should send via email (not hard copy) a preliminary
application by 15 December 2006.  The preliminary application should
include a cover sheet
(http://www.cid.harvard.edu/sustsci/grants/fellows/07_fellows_cover_sheet.ht
m),

preliminary research proposal (3 pages maximum), and CV (3 pages
maximum). It should  be emailed to sustsci_grants@ksg.harvard.edu.
Applicants will be notified by December 22 whether they are invited to
submit a full proposal.  Full proposals must be supported by a Harvard
faculty member who is prepared to work with the fellow.  Fellows may
make their own faculty contacts, but the Program will also seek to
facilitate matching of faculty with fellows.   The deadline for full
applications is 1 February 2007.

The Program invariably receives more strong applications than can be
supported with the funds available. Prospective fellows are therefore
strongly urged to pursue additional sources of stipendiary and research
support that they can draw on if they are admitted to the fellowship
program but full funding is not available to cover their expenses.
Applications from those with their own resources are also welcome.

is available at

Susan,

My work is at the intersection of health, design and community.  My 
dissertation "Pedestrian Technologies: Redesigning Citizens, 
Organizers and Technical Professionals" addresses some of the themes 
and questions you're articulating. I taught a Masters course in 
Design Languages in the Antioch Seattle Masters in Whole System 
Design program that might be of interest.

If you want to slog, I can also send you the bibliography to my 
dissertation off line.  Do you have EndNote?

David

Subject: [URBANTH-L]help with immigration case
Message-ID: <456DD8C5.7010305@tcnj.edu>

Hello fellow urban anthropologists,

I received this request (below) from a friend of mine who is an
immigration attorney at a non-profit. If you can help her, or know someone
who can, please contact her directly at durbak@tcnj.edu

Thanks in advance for your generous help with this case.

Best,
Rachel Adler

I have a case of a Liberian, married to a US citizen, whose marriage
disintegrated shortly after entry into the US, b/c of cultural problems. 
The US citizen, who is an African-American had gone to Africa to find a
mate.  From her perspective, there were not going to be cultural
differences, since they were both black and Christian.  I know that
intercultural marriages often run into snags.  However, I was wondering if
you happened to know of anyone in sociology or anthropology who is
studying or has studied inter-cultural marriages, who might be willing to
help me.  I would speak to the person and then draft a proposed affidavit
-- or that person could simply forward me some pertinent articles.
Is there anyone to whom you could refer me?

Thanks,
Tatiana Durbak

To all SUNTA members and friends:

Many thanks for your participation and involvement in the San Jose meetings. SUNTA had a fine range of over thirty sessions. From my position as program chair, most organization and scheduling isssue seemed to go relatively smoothly, but if there were problems let me know.

Two quick notes:

First, please welcome Deborah Pellow as our President-Elect and Lisa Maya Knauer as our new Councilor. Deborah, I am very glad to say, is taking on the duties of program chair. At the same time, great appreciation must be extended to Susan Greenbaum for her efforts as President (although she remains on the SUNTA Board as Past President), to Bob Rotenberg who is now past Past President, and to Hilarie Kelly for her three years as a Councilor.

Second, scheduling is now being completed for the sessions SUNTA will have in Tampa as co-sponsor of the SfAA meeting on March 27-31, 2007. SUNTA will have about a dozen sessions with the opportunity for more relaxed presentation and discussion than is possible at the AAA meetings. The capstone will be a forum of SUNTA presidents who will consider both SUNTA's past and its future. More details will be available in a few weeks.

Best regards,

-- David

Dear Susan,
 
I am not sure whether a chapter I wrote on social change and legal reforms in Albania may be of interest to you. The full bibliographic reference is:
 
G.B.Prato, 2004 ?The devil is not as wicked as people believe, neither is the Albanian?. In I. Pardo (ed.), Between Morality and Law. Corruption, Anthropology and Comparative Societies. Aldershot: Ashgate: 69-84.
 
On Environmentalism, I published a chapter in 1993: "Political decision-making: Environmentalism, ethics and popular participation in Italy". In K. Milton (ed.), Environmentalism: A view from Anthropology, London: Routledge: 174-88.
 
All the best,
 
Giuliana
