Friendship, Trust, and Conflict: From Conceptual History towards Studies of Social Ontology

marzo 14, 2016Blogsehp

The Russian Sociological Review, an international peer-reviewed academic journal published by the National Research University — Higher School of Economics , invites contributions from philosophy, social sciences and cognate fields for the special issue entitled «Friendship, Trust, and Conflict: From Conceptual History towards Studies of Social Ontology»

Warfare, social conflicts, revolutions, shifts of national borders, and mass migration continue to transform the existing social order that emerged in Europe by the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21th centuries. The previous special issues of the Russian Sociological Review on borders and warfare discussed these transformations of social order that is now in jeopardy, and thus may change unexpectedly. However, the notion of social order is a complex one, and has other crucial aspects. Although dissolved and disintegrated, social order is still omnipresent despite all the challenges facing it. States and global state systems are not the only fundamental phenomena that maintain social order.

While solidarity was the essential feature of civil society within the borders of nation states, theories of global society have emphasized the phenomena of mobility and touristic gaze on social worlds. However, to understand recent social and political transformations, one needs to go beyond this agenda and to focus on those aspects of interpersonal relations that are still important for social order, even within the spaces of conflicts. Among other phenomena that continue to define and maintain the “grand orders” are trust, friendship, and conflict.

The Future of the History of the Human Sciences

febrero 9, 2016Bloghistoria ciencias humanassehp

University of York

Thursday 7th & Friday 8th April 2016

This two-day meeting, hosted jointly by Dr Chris Renwick and History of the Human Sciences, gathers together established scholars and early-career researchers to consider changes wrought in the broad interdisciplinary field of the history of the human sciences by new developments in the medical humanities, biological sciences, and literary/cultural theory. Marking the end of James Good’s 15-year tenure as HHS editor and the beginning of a new editorial team, comprising Dr Felicity Callard, Dr Rhodri Hayward, and Dr Angus Nicholls, the meeting will survey the field’s development since the foundation of HHS almost 20 years ago, and offer provocations – from various disciplinary perspectives – about the directions that it might take in the future.

Speakers include Roger Smith, Steve Fuller, Peter Mandler, Marianne Sommer, Amanda Rees, Michael Finn, Elizabeth Toon, Jessica Hendy, Maurizio Meloni, Des Fitzgerald, Alexandra Bacopoulos Viau, and Jonna Brenninkmeijer.

There will be four intensive sessions:

The Problem of the Archive: biological data, digital media, material culture, and their impact upon the archive and human nature;
The Problem of the Human: how the neurosciences are challenging conventional approaches to history;
The Problem of the Social: How do models of ‘the social’ in the life sciences challenge those in the social sciences and humanities?
Practice in the Human Sciences: new methods and approaches in medical humanities and science studies.

These sessions will be followed by a roundtable in which the outgoing and incoming History of the Human Sciences editors, plus speakers from the conference, discuss the state of the field and its future.

In keeping with the field’s history and the future challenges that will be discussed, the conference organisers wish to encourage scholars from a wide range disciplinary backgrounds to participate. Attendance is free but places are limited.

As part of the conference organisers’ commitment to encouraging discussion about the future of the field, six bursaries covering the costs of attending the conference are available for postgraduate students. More information about how to apply for one of these bursaries is available on the postgraduate bursaries page of the conference website.

Further information about the event is available on the conference website.

Call for Abstracts: Cultures of Self-Help: Disordered Selves, Emergent Sociality, and Collective Horizons of Auto-Transformation

febrero 8, 2016Blogauto-ayuda, Congresos, etnografíasehp

2016 AES (American Ethnological Society ) SPRING MEETING

Washington, D.C., March 31-April 2, 2016

From books to workshops and economic programs, self-help has become a
discourse and a mode of labor through which people around the world make
sense of their selfhood and their social relations. Invoking the academic
expertise of psychology, self-improvement has become a global phenomenon
not only through consumerism and the spread of the therapeutic ethos; it
has also come to organize broad swaths of communal, associational, and
intimate life amidst flexible capitalism and the retrenchment of the state.Critiques of self-help argue that it embeds neoliberal notions of self-care
and self-management at the expense of social responsibilities and
interdependencies. They argue that self-help at once replaces social
solidarities within austerity politics and a fraying social fabric, while
also reproducing race, class, and gender hierarchies by qualifying selfhood
according to access and availability to spend time in projects of
self-fashioning (Illouz 2008, McGee 2007). Whereas ‘self-help’ often posits
the commercialization of human relationships through metaphors of costs,
gains, and self-improvement, it may also constitute new imaginations of
social collectivity and ethics in times of uncertainty and transition.

This panel seeks ethnographic approaches to understanding the possibilities
and perils of self-help in diverse social contexts. How do social
applications of self-help reconfigure power, create social networks, and
apportion new rationalities and affective states of embodied control,
dependency and precariousness? How do actors seek to resolve disorder and
incoherence in personal and social spheres by using techniques of
self-help? How does self-help inculcate normative social relations, or
alternately posit emergent possibilities for emancipatory social action?
Possible paper topics may address, but are not limited to:

– ·       Ethnographic analyses of community-based self-help
associations;
– ·       Imbrications of religious activism and self-help, including
religious, spiritual, or ‘new age’ applications of self-help practices;
– ·       Regimes of self-help as modalities of political and economic
governance, including development apparatuses and microfinance;
– ·       Self-help in the context of rehabilitation, including medical
and therapeutic interventions and addiction treatment programs;
– ·       Self-help and self-control, including self-tracking and ‘life
hacking’ practices within the application of data and measurement to
lifestyle, health, and notions of the ‘quantified self’;
– ·       Sensory or phenomenological accounts of disability,
able-bodiedness, and subjectivity in self-help;
– ·       Self-help, ‘soft skills’, and affective labor within global
service industries and corporate management structures;
– ·       Digital ethnography of online or virtual self-help
communities, including anonymous chat-rooms, message boards, and other
interactive digital worlds.

Please send paper abstracts of up to 250 words to
awallace@gradcenter.cuny.edu by or before Friday, February 12th, 2016.
