EASA panels

(P078) Working with images in (un-)stable times [VANEASA]

https://nomadit.co.uk/easa/easa2018/conferencesuite.php/panels/6559
Visual anthropologists collaborate in manifold ways with people who are on
the move, settling down or staying behind to document and analyse their
situation. What are the advantages of working with images in these contexts?
What are the experiences and which types of publication are most rewarding?

(P074) Negotiating imaginaries: explorations of vernacular audiovisual
production

https://nomadit.co.uk/easa/easa2018/conferencesuite.php/panels/6575
This panel will discuss ethnographic possibilities for approaching the
relevant fields of "vernacular" audiovisual practices and archives. Focusing
on field-based research we will explore how these videos are produced from
an economic, political and aesthetic perspective.

(P075) Grace: Unexpected moments in ethnographic films

https://nomadit.co.uk/easa/easa2018/conferencesuite.php/panels/6663
This panel invites anthropologists to explore moments of unexpected wonder
in ethnographic film. We wish to understand how such moments are related to
the specific modes of cultural critique that can be produced in film.

(P096) Aesthetic Encounters: The Politics Of Moving And (Un)settling Visual
Arts, Design And Literature

https://nomadit.co.uk/easa/easa2018/conferencesuite.php/panels/6340
The panel explores the politics of moving and (un)settling visual arts,
design and literature. Reflecting encounters of conflicting authority,
knowledge and aesthetics ranging from curating to publishing, it also
considers impacts on methods and writing genres, market, materiality and
globalization.

(P076) The Visual Art of Refugees: expressions of flight and exile
[Anthropology of the Middle East and Central Eurasia Network Panel]

https://nomadit.co.uk/easa/easa2018/conferencesuite.php/panels/6333
In this panel we seek anthropological works that introduce and reflect on
the rich repertoire of refugees visual productions and art expressions.
Panel participants should address how anthropology of visual art intersects
with the scholarship of refugees, exile, and border crossing.

(P098) Art and Nativism [Anthropology and the Arts Network]

https://nomadit.co.uk/easa/easa2018/conferencesuite.php/panels/6521
Over the last years, we witnessed a spread of nativist movements across the
globe. Reacting to perceived threats of migration and globalisation, they
frequently stress nation and belonging. What can we learn from the relations
between art, identity, and mobility to think through such movements?

(P067) The Digital Turn: New Directions in Media Anthropology [Media
Anthropology Network]

https://nomadit.co.uk/easa/easa2018/conferencesuite.php/panels/6386
This panel recognizes the digital turn as a paradigm shift in the
anthropological study of media, and aims to push further the ethnographic
knowledge into the role that digital media play in people's everyday life
and broader sociopolitical transformations.

(P068) Imaginaries, Media and Tourism

https://nomadit.co.uk/easa/easa2018/conferencesuite.php/panels/6687
This panel seeks research on the new ways tourist imaginaries are
constructed and exchanged, with a focus on new forms of ritualized mediation
(like the social media) emphasizing increased participation and feedback, in
commercial as well as in personal communications.
