Call for papers: Mediation and circulation of cultural memory in identitary settings


The 11th international  International Society for Ethnology and Folklore (SIEF) congress - Mediation and circulation of cultural memory in identitary settings
Tartu, Estonia
30th June - 4th July


The SIEF 2013 Congress proposes to examine the stakes and implications of circulation. Circulation and its semantic siblings – flow, exchange and mobility – are the buzzwords around which interdisciplinary conversations across the humanities and social sciences are organized at the present moment, superseding the previous decade’s buzzword globalization, which in turn superseded postmodernity, which superseded nationalism and ethnicity – eventually taking us back to the concepts around which our fields were constituted, including transmission and diffusion. In fact, ethnologists and folklorists as well as cultural anthropologists have been thinking and writing about circulation, flow, exchange, travel, and mobility for a century and half.


Paper proposal should be submitted to one of the accepted panels. Proposals should consist of a paper title, a (very) short abstract of less than 300 characters, and an abstract of 250 words. The proposal may also state the audio-visual requirements you have for your presentation.

The call for papers closes 18th January 2013.

For information.
