„Impro­vi­sa­tion”
A con­fer­ence of the Swedish Anthro­po­log­i­cal Associations/SANT
April 24–26
Uppsala
Dead­line: 8th March

In a glob­al con­text where pre­car­i­ty is grow­ing, impro­vi­sa­tion plays a cen­tral role for the major­i­ty of the world’s pop­u­la­tion liv­ing with uneven access to pri­ma­ry resources such as food, water and health­care which mark the cur­rent unequal social, polit­i­cal, envi­ron­men­tal, and eco­nom­ic con­di­tions across the world. Yet, impro­vi­sa­tion may also be a way to reimag­ine the future, by turn­ing forms of antic­i­pa­tion, like uncer­tain­ty, fear and anx­i­ety, into new path­ways of pos­si­bil­i­ty and hope. Impro­vi­sa­tion, as the adap­ta­tion to adverse cir­cum­stances, has been the sub­ject of sev­er­al anthro­po­log­i­cal schol­ar­ships in order to ana­lyze how a pre­car­i­ty is trans­formed into pos­si­bil­i­ty by peo­ple in need. Inter­est­ed in Improvisation?

Come join us by propos­ing a 250 words paper abstract to one of the open pan­el and round­table sessions.
