CALL FOR PAPERS
The 2nd Socio-Cultural Anthropology Conference
ANTHROPOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO IDENTITY POLITICS:
FOCUS ON REGIONS, BORDERLANDS AND DIASPORAS
May 28-30, 2009
Venue: Aula Magna, Klaipeda University,
The first socio-cultural anthropology conference, held in 2005 at Klaipėda University, was focused on the new ways of defining region, the post-communist Baltic region in particular. The next one, in the spring of 2009, aims to continue that in a broader perspective.
We will gather on peaceful and picturesque Baltic seashore to discuss and to develop anthro-pological and interdisciplinary approaches to the study of identity processes and policies from regional, borderland and migratory/diasporic perspectives with a special reference to New Europe and its Baltic component. Taking Lithuania and Poland as an example, the scale and effect of current transnational emigration from those countries drastically challenges the existing patterns of national identities. In addition to this, historical and current changes in border regimes as well as legal flexibility of the national border-areas (due to EU regulations) had and have significant effects on the local politics of identities.
Such nation-state transcending practices of transnationalism are visible in the livelihoods and social strategies of those New Europeans who have (or can claim, when thy wish) hyphenated or multiple identities. Others, though, continue to retain their own us-ness and turn to weapons of the weak to resist changes to their group identities.
In understanding the need for ethnographic analyses of transnationalism, EUropeanization and globalization on the identity politics of people living in these regions (especially those claimed by several heritages and traditions, like Kaliningrad/Koenigsberg) as well as on contested borderlands and immigrant/diasporic communities, the conference will focus on:
- encounters in between dominant/state and local/regional/minority/diasporic discourses and identity politics;
- the processes of national identity change in relation to emigration, immigration and transmigration;
- identity politics within ethnic institutions and networks in regions and diasporas; local politics of cultural difference vis-à-vis cultural complexity;
- re-visiting historical issues and defining new trajectories for studies of regional identity politics from anthropological and interdisciplinary perspectives;
- the influence of short-term economic goals and consumerism on identity processes in diasporas, regions and borderlands;
- the politics of culture and heritage; cultural authenticity and intercultural communication in regional perspective; changing markers of sameness and otherness of cultural belonging in borderlands.
While participants of the conference are encouraged to critically engage with these topics, we also welcome papers exploring the role of identity politics on people in the regions, on the borders or in immigrant/diasporic communities.
