SANA 2004 Conference

Formats & Submissions

(Francaise)

1. Papers will be 15 minutes each. They may be volunteered individually or submitted as part of a session or symposia. Individually volunteered papers will be organized into sessions by the program committee according to theme and content.

2. Sessions will be 105 minutes each (1 hour & 45 minutes), and will generally consist of up to five papers with a discussion period.

3. Symposia will generally be formed of a minimum of two thematically related sessions of 105 minutes each. Symposia parts will be held in sequence, with a break between the parts, and where possible, will be located in the same room.

4. Roundtables are less formal than sessions in that participants do not present formal, 15 minute papers but discuss an issue or topic laid out by session organizers in their proposals. Roundtables, like sessions, are 105 minutes (1 hour & 45 minutes).

5. Workshops consist of a small number of participants (10-12) who gather around a theme or subject in a less intensive and less formal way than a session or a symposium. A workshop is the equivalent of a session and is 105 minutes long. Workshop organizers should indicate criteria for participation, i.e. pre-circulated papers, topic preparation, pre-registration.

6. Posters present material visually. Posters will be displayed for 105 minutes (1 hour & 45 minutes), with ample opportunity provided for discussion and detailed study. Those proposing posters should fill out the paper/poster proposal form.

7. Poster sessions group posters to be exhibited simultaneously, space permitting. A separate session form should be submitted.

8. Video screenings. If there is enough interest to warrant it, conference organizers will facilitate an ethnographic video series. Those interested in submitting their work should post a letter or email to the program committee describing the video. Be sure to include title, key production personnel, length, format, its relevance to the anthropological community, and the participation of anthropologists in it.

9. Other media. The program committee is open to presentations via other media but please contact the organizing committee with your ideas as soon as possible to work out if they will fit into the theme and overall program.

10. Plenary. We welcome the submission of plenary proposals. A plenary is equivalent to a session at 105 minutes long, but are unique in that no other conference functions coincide with them, and that they are typically devoted to an individual presentation (such as the keynote address).
