CfP: “Beyond Infrastructure? (Un-)built Environments in the Anthropocene”
Dear all,
This call for papers may be of interest to some of you:
Infrastructure is often seen as solid, fixed, and inevitable while
shaping the way we move, live, and connect. But what about the
infrastructures that remain unfinished, abandoned, or merely imagined?
How do built, un-built, or non-built environments shape politics,
everyday life, and ecological futures? And what happens when we move
past conventional understandings of infrastructure?
The Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology at the University of
Vienna and the ERC Advanced Grant “Building Arctic Futures: Transport
Infrastructures and Sustainable Northern Communities (InfraNorth)”
invite you to participate in the International Conference “Beyond
Infrastructure? (Un-)built Environments in the Anthropocene” from
September 22 to September 24, 2025, at the University of Vienna.
To submit your paper proposal, please provide the following:
1) An abstract of up to 250 words,
2) Five keywords characterizing your research,
3) A short bio of 50-70 words.
Please send everything as one PDF document no later than April 6 to
beyondinfrastructure.ksa@univie.ac.at. We intend to communicate our
decisions regarding acceptance in early May. Registration will start
thereafter.

All the best,
