SANA 2004 Conference
Call for Papers
(Francaise)
The world continues to be polarized by
race, class, nationalism, and other forms of
social division, even as the processes of
globalization make us all more interdependent
through movements of people and flows of money
and commodities across national boundaries. On
one hand, the U.S. initiated war on and
occupation of Iraq, the wars on terrorism and
on drugs, and various efforts to stem the tide
of so-called illegal immigrants have fueled
fear, hatred, and mistrust among the peoples
of North America and beyond. On the other
hand, new information and transport
technologies, and the political changes
associated with NAFTA and "free trade"
agreements have fueled global migrations of
people and flows of money, technologies, and
cultural forms (e.g., music, ideologies) into
and out of North America. These movements have
engendered new connections and
interdependencies among otherwise different
peoples, and have put people in intimate and
daily contact with one another in new ways.
Above all else, people have come to realize
that the connections between North America and
the rest of the world are increasingly close,
unstable, and irreversible.
How can anthropologists explore the
contradictions that have emerged between
dominant institutions' use of the forces of
globalization to increase the efficacy of
markets, surveillance, and violence in
containing everyday lives - and the daily
practices of organizations and individuals who
harness these forces for transgressing
boundaries, borders, and behaviors?
How can a new critical study of North
America emerge which sees it not as an
autonomous continent of populations surrounded
by oceans, but as the historical outcome of
the dialectics of dynamic networks that
connect it to the rest of the globe? Could one
way to develop this new approach be to examine
the contradictions between containment by
these institutions and transgressions by
organizations and individuals?
