objects"
Everyday stuff: narrating the social lives of material objects
The Culture of Cities Project is pleased to announce its call for
papers for its panel "Everyday stuff: narrating the social lives of
material objects", to take place during the 2006 Annual Meeting of the
Canadian Sociology and Anthropology Association (CSAA) at York
University, Toronto.
As silent protagonists of our everyday lives, mundane objects
simultaneously escape and fascinate the scholar, who seeks to turn
their apparent irrelevance, inertness and muteness into phenomena
worthy of detailed consideration. We are particularly interested in
contributions in the form of case studies from both graduate students
and established scholars who aim at discovering mundane things and
their (contested) use as occasions for research into the interpretive
complexity of the structure of everyday life. A list of topics
includes, but is not restricted to:
- Tools and technologies
- Architecture and infrastructure
- Landscapes and monuments
- Amenities
- Clothing, food and other consumer goods
- Domestic and public furniture
Paper proposals should include the title of the paper, name,
institutional affiliation and e-mail address of the author(s), as well
as an abstract of no more than 500 words. The deadline for proposals is
December 31st, 2005. Authors will be notified of their participation by
January 31st, 2006.
Please, direct submissions to:
