Betreff: CfP "(Un)commoning the Future(s) and its Visualities For a Visual Anthropology of (Un)Commoning" | DGSKA Workshop Visual Anthropology (Cologne 29.9. - 2.10.2025) (end of the call 15 January 2025).
Dear List Members, good morning and we hope this finds you well.
Today we are very excited to share with you the CFP for our workshop (Un)commoning the Future(s) and its Visualities For a Visual Anthropology of (Un)Commoning (PO 18) for the next DGSKA conference in Cologne, 29.9. - 2.10.2025.
Abstract:
When commoners organize and take responsibility for different resources and its sustainable, fair, and future-oriented production, use, and distribution, the everydayness of commoning means an active living process (Bollier 2020) for a common future. In this process, people choose different strategies to come together, live and act on the basis of solidarity, justice, equality and sustainability. They use strategies to build social relations and spaces of creativity and social reproduction in areas such as housing and urban coexistence, supra-human relations and environmental social activism, collective action on climate change or equal sharing of resources.
With the interest in emphasizing the role of visual cultures and practices in such active living processes and everydayness of commoning, this panel opens a discussion on (Un)commoning the Future(s) through the lens of (Audio)Visual and Multi-modal Anthropology. It asks: How do groups, collectives and activist movements make use of (audio)visual practices to (re)claim visibility, political justice, and public awareness? What visualities do people use and create as a strategy to build and strengthen their commoning practices in contexts such as environmental activism and resources scarcity, urbanism, claim for human rights, gender diversity and political justice? What can (audio)visual anthropology contribute to understanding, and even supporting such movements in different societies as a form of engaged anthropology?
We invite anthropologists to contribute to a visual anthropology of (un)commoning and to present their research projects, methods and experiences with (audio-)visual technologies, practices and collaborations in the fields of film, photography, sound, art, visual archives or multimodal projects.
Please note that the proposals must be made via the online form in the panel list https://tagung.dgska.de/workshops-roundtables-labs/#15987, not by email (see also https://tagung.dgska.de/en/rules-infos/)
End of the call is 15 January 2025.
We look forward to seeing you in Cologne
