Dear Colleagues,

The deadline for paper submissions for the World Anthropological Union =
2024 Congress =C2=A0 =
in Johannesburg has =
been extended to May 27. You are most welcome to submit your paper =
proposal to theon-site panel affiliated with our IUAES Commission on the =
Anthropology of Tourism and the Commission on the Anthropology of =
Migration.

Panel title: "Tourism, Migration, and Other Mobilities in the World of =
(In)Justices" (PN81)

Abstract

Addressing a dynamic world marked by an ever-increasing array of human, =
object, data, and capital movements, the panel seeks to delve =
anthropologically into the intricate realm of the political economy of =
mobility. The state of the art in contemporary anthropology recognizes =
the imperative of dissecting the multifaceted nature of mobilities =
within the context of national, racial, class, and other inequalities =
(Bloch and Adams 2023). The diverse forms of human mobility, including =
but not limited to tourism and migration as well as often-overlooked =
unobvious privileged mobilities (Croucher 2012) such as the circulation =
of scholars and middle-class retirees, unveil how existing =
socio-economic inequalities are reflected in the relationships between =
mobilities, sedentarism, and immobilities. Against the backdrop of late =
financialized capitalism, this panel endeavors to shed light on the =
pressing need for discussions surrounding mobility policies from a =
political economy perspective. By examining the intricate interplay =
between mobilities and policies, we aim to unveil and critically examine =
the transition towards fair mobilities, ensuring an empirical and =
enriching debate. We thus invite proposals that contribute to the =
evolving dialogue on mobility justice (Sheller 2018). By doing so, we =
hope to engage anthropological knowledge in forging a path toward a more =
profound understanding of the regimes of mobility in our contemporary =
global context (Glick Schiller and Salazar 2013). We aim not only to =
unpack the power relations that make ground for different valuations of =
various mobilities (some of them being appreciated and encouraged while =
others stigmatised and constrained) but also to move beyond =E2=80=9Cdark =
anthropology=E2=80=9D (Ortner 2016) toward more emancipatory approaches. =
Finally, we invite submissions of case studies, theoretical =
explorations, and conceptual papers that transcend the boundaries of =
Anglo-Saxon centrism. Emphasising a global perspective, we seek =
contributions that amplify diverse voices and experiences, fostering a =
more inclusive understanding of mobility capital and mobility justice. =
The panel pretends to shape a comprehensive dialogue that moves beyond =
cultural and dialectical confines, illuminating the complex tapestry of =
mobilities worldwide.=20
