SUMMARY:Society for the Anthropology of Consciousness Spring Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Don’t we all love a little magic and mystery? Ancient mystery schools taught ways of navigating the universe\, connecting with the divine\, and gaining wisdom. Magic was a method of interacting with the supernatural and to influence desired outcomes. Yet\, even as science has changed our understanding of the world and our place in it\, people still seek out the mystical. Many seek out spiritual experiences\, delight in being fooled by illusionists\, attend role-playing mysteries\, and hope their Hogwarts letter will arrive. For the upcoming conference we invite members to explore how and why mystery and magic are so enchanting to us. While there have been many anthropological studies of magic in the past\, there are still many meaningful ways in which we can look at how magic and mystery impact humanity. We are looking for topics from personal experiences of magic\, magic as control\, connection\, self-actualization\, even to the mystery of consciousness itself.

SUMMARY:The 2025 Society for Linguistic Anthropology Biennial Conference
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to imagine today?\nThe 2025 Society for Linguistic Anthropology Conference invites participants to explore the many ways that imagination critically shapes\, reproduces\, and transforms social worlds across times\, spaces\, and scales through discursive and non-discursive processes and practices. \nStarting with the idea of imagination as movement toward a thing\, state of affairs\, and/or set of ideas that does not (yet) exist\, we prompt participants to ask: Who imagines? What gets imagined? Toward what ends and with what effects? How do particular imaginaries resist or engage practices and technologies of mediation?  What happens when imagination is not just linked to\, but is also untethered from temporal terms and logics? What is the relationship between imagination and forms of individual and collective action\, including narrative\, claims-making\, and other rhetorical modes? How can we understand the myriad instantiations of imagination\, creation\, and critique—from innovation\, construction\, or invention to destruction\, violence\, or the reinforcement of the status quo?

SUMMARY:2025 Society for Economic Anthropology 45th Annual Meeting: Sustaining Life between Popular and Illicit Economies
DESCRIPTION:The 2025 SEA meeting proposes to explore constellations of practices and strategies for sustaining life through activities that are not necessarily part of formal or even legal work and commerce. Our call seeks to explore the expansion\, heterogenization and transformation of these practices and economies\, questioning concepts of periphery\, marginality and exclusion in order to analyze processes of capital valorization in local and transnational spaces of dispute and conflict over legitimate orders. The conference will be held in Puebla\, Mexico. A colonial city located near Mexico City\, the location allows for consideration of past and present economies while drawing on pioneering Latin American debates in popular\, feminist and spatialized economies. \nThis meeting seeks to promote discussions around the collaborative aspects at stake for majority populations\, whose lives in many parts of the world are increasingly precarious and ever more traversed by illicit trade and traffic\, territorial and spatialized control and regulation\, and multiple and diverse violences. Popular economy perspectives allow us to examine such strategies in their most plural sense\, as a set of diverse and even contradictory experiences and practices\, that constantly exceed our conceptual categories\, and as such\, have continually reorganized modes of organization and cooperation\, as well as political subjectivities. Feminist economic analyses point to the importance attending to marginalized populations’ provisioning practices in contexts of capitalist expansion. This means understanding the increasingly complex work of taking care\, in negotiation with not only state and private\, but also illicit organizations and actors. Finally\, a spatial approach to translocal and transnational economies allows us to read popular sectors’ multiple and variegated strategies of stabilization and dispute in the context of economic and political crises inscribed into multiple and unequal territories marked by incessant mobilities and inmobilities. \nFramed by these perspectives\, we seek to put anthropological and archeological studies into discussion to help us understand the ways that neoliberal destructuring of salaried work and public services have made it increasingly difficult for marginalized populations to function completely separately from illegalized circuits: families members migrate through trans-border trajectories\, contraband provides possibilities for both work and affordable goods\, young people find diversified labor opportunities in expanding criminalized networks. Explorations of actually existing popular economies from feminist perspectives will help us better understand the intensification and transformation of strategies to guarantee reproduction over multiple territories. \nThe 2025 SEA meeting “Sustaining Life between Popular and Illicit Economies” will be bilingual\, with translations and exchanges in English and in Spanish. We hope that our exchanges in this SEA meeting will help us explore the recreation of common modes of existence that allow popular sectors to establish lives worth living in increasingly difficult conditions for their reproduction\, particularly with the multiplication of interconnections between popular and illicit economies. Please see ttps://econanthro.org/meet/2025-sea-45th-annual-meeting/ for a full description of the call including papers topics of particular interest. \nAbstracts will be received through the SEA Submission Site through February 3rd\, 2025.

SUMMARY:Society for the Anthropology of Religion (SAR) Biennial Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Society for the Anthropology of Religion (SAR) Biennial Conference will be held June 21-23\, 2025 at U.C. Santa Barbara. SAR welcomes paper and panel proposals on ALL TOPICS in the Anthropology of Religion. At the same time\, we do have a main Conference theme for 2025:  Religiosities\, Ecologies\, and Environmentalisms in the Age of the Anthropocene. \nKeynote Speaker: Prof. Ana Mariella Bacigalupo\, Anthropology Department at SUNY Buffalo; she will speak on indigenous religious environmentalism in Peru. \nFor the first time\, our SAR Biennial Conference will collaborate with the International Society for the Study of Religion\, Nature\, and Culture (ISSRNC) https://www.issrnc.org/. The last day of our SAR Conference (June 23\, 2025) will overlap with the first day of their Conference\, also to be held at UC Santa Barbara. SAR members are free to stay on and attend ISSRNC panel sessions with no extra charge. \nAnthropology needs to expand beyond the study of mere humans\, for the effects of climate change and the pollution of our life-sustaining biosphere are impacting all living species\, which are interdependent. This conference brings into play interpretive\, scientific\, and religious perspectives on forms of life in their cultural and natural environments. It promotes new ways of inquiring into the entangled relations between humans and deities\, ancestors\, ghosts\, animals\, insects\, plants\, and sacred natural formations such as rocks\, rivers\, and mountains. Across the globe\, how do different religious communities\, doctrines\, and institutions play a role in the age of the Anthropocene?
