Call for Papers, "Intimate Economies", SHA 2015
Dear All,
We are organizing an inter-disciplinary session entitled “Intimate Economies:
Independent Production in the Past” for the 2015 Society for Historical Archaeology
meeting in Seattle, Washington. The session seeks presenters who are using current
theory or methods for the interpretation of independent production within the context
of other dominate economic systems. The following is a working abstract for the session:
In the last few decades historical archaeologists have begun
to explore the intimate patterns of daily life for social actors in the past at
multiple scales. Historically, small-scale systems of production and exchange
evolved epiphenomenally with dominate economic systems. Examples may include
the formation of slave economies within the larger context of plantation
systems, or Indigenous female driven pottery industries within the typically
male-driven Indian fur trade. These small-scale economies played equally vital
roles in shaping social bonds in relational networks of exchange.
This session brings together archaeologists whose research
explores independent production within larger-scale networks of exchange.
Drawing upon a range of studies that encompass a wide geographical and temporal
base, these papers will show how independent production at the level of
individuals, households, or communities played a role in shaping and
reinforcing social bonds, boundaries, and identities.
If this proposed session interests you, please send us an abstract
by July 3, 2014 or email prior to that date with ideas or questions.
Thank you!
