"Theme: The Greening of Anthropology: reconfiguring our work for the 21st Century

Despite the international upheaval of the free market economy, neo-liberalism persists, perhaps stronger than ever. Low income countries continue to suffer inequitably the effects of escalating political unrest and environmental degradation. The profitable enterprises of oil, biotechnology and war are re-framed as development and securitization while the displacement of communities, destruction of environments, and threats to health brought on by the interests of these private sectors are overseen by governments with undeclared interests of their own. Anthropologists working on the ground are uniquely poised to observe the particular resistances and accommodations of those affected by and effecting these radical and rapid social, cultural and technical changes churning around us.

The 2011 CASCA Conference calls upon anthropologists to reflect on the greening of our work and the environments we work within. Greening is meant to evoke global growth, local re-growth but also the growth of alternatives to market-based social life. Greening leads us to question changes that social, cultural, political and economic practices are undergoing. Contested paradigms matched to alternative solutions that explore arboreality or rhizomatic realizations are welcome. What new forms of materialities and sociabilities are emerging, and from what constellation of actors, both human and non-human? Which new sites of sociality and networks of socialization arise and which older forms, sites and networks change to meet new circumstances? How is anthropology positioning itself within these evolving contexts? How do moves toward engagement with these multiple domains and publics bring new relevance to anthropology beyond academia? This conference will investigate the reimagining and revitalization of anthropology across the wide range of multidimensional greenscapes in which we humans live and work in the second decade of the 21st century.(...)" cas-sca.ca/casca/index.php
