EASST +4S Call for Abstracts
* apologies for cross-posting * <br> <br> <br> <br>We warmly invite abstract submissions for our open panel at the EASST+4S <br>Conference 2020 (https://www.easst4s2020prague.org/) in Prague (18-21 August <br>2020). The panel is entitled "Acknowledging residues: the (un)-making of an <br>environmental concern". <br> <br>Convenors: <br> <br>Signe Mikkelsen (Department of Social Anthropology, University of Oslo) <br> <br>Franziska Klaas (Department of Social Anthropology, University of Oslo) <br> <br>Discussant: Susanne Bauer (Centre for Technology, Innovation and Culture, <br>University of Oslo) <br> <br> <br> <br>Panel abstract: <br> <br>Residues are reduced and transformed remnants of formerly present materials, <br>events, or actions. Frequently associated with chemicals, pesticides, and <br>waste, they are also the result of discard and excess, sticky - yet unruly - <br>bordering both the visible and the invisible. A consequence of past and <br>present material legacies, they pervade and persist in environments, humans, <br>and non-humans alike, carrying with them potentially hazardous or toxic <br>afterlives. <br> <br>Yet, residues do not always emerge as environmental concerns - nor as bodily, <br>political, or material ones. Rather, they are often a (non)-concern, sometimes <br>evading recognition and response, despite their ubiquitous presence. <br> <br>This open panel invites contributors to critically engage with the question of <br>when, how, and to whom residues become a concern. It asks under what <br>circumstances particular forms of residue might rise to levels of <br>acknowledgement and political engagement - thereby constituting a call for <br>action - while other forms of residues are silenced, muted, or overlooked. <br> <br>Attending to the practices, politics, histories, and technologies that go into <br>the making of residues as concerns, it wishes to remain attentive to the <br>(potentially) hazardous materialisations of residues and their ecological and <br>embodied outcomes. This means acknowledging past legacies as well as lasting <br>effects and generated inequalities. This allows for a careful engagement with <br>potential threats embedded within these issues as with political possibilities <br>that might arise from such recognition. <br> <br> <br> <br>Submission information: <br> <br>Abstracts may be submitted directly on the 4S/EASST website: <br>https://convention2.allacademic.com/one/ssss/prague20/. The deadline for <br>submissions is February 29, 2020. <br> <br>After logging in, click 'Submit A New Proposal' followed by 'Papers for open <br>Panels'. Scroll down until you find Panel #196 titled "Acknowledging residues: <br>the (un)-making of an environmental concern". Submissions should consist of a <br>paper title (50 words maximum) and a paper abstract (250 words maximum). <br> <br>In case you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact either of <br>us: <br> <br> <br> <br>signe.mikkelsen@sai.uio.no <br> <br>franziska.klaas@sai.uio.no <br> <br> <br> <br>We look forward to your proposals! <br> <br>With kind regards, <br> <br>Signe & Franziska <br>_______________________________________________ <br>EASST's Eurograd mailing list <br>Eurograd (at) lists.easst.net <br>Unsubscribe or edit subscription options: http://lists.easst.net/listinfo.cgi/eurograd-easst.net <br> <br>Meet us via https://twitter.com/STSeasst <br> <br>Report abuses of this list to Eurograd-owner@lists.easst.netview formatted text
