SUMMARY:2025 Victor Turner Prize in Ethnographic Writing Contest Entry
DESCRIPTION:2025 Victor Turner Prize in Ethnographic Writing\nThe Society for Humanistic Anthropology (SHA) announces the annual juried competition for the Victor Turner Prize in Ethnographic Writing. The late Victor Turner devoted his career to seeking an accessible language that would reopen anthropology to the human subject\, and the competition recognizes the innovative books that further this project. We seek graceful\, accessible ethnographic writing which deeply explores its subject and contributes in innovative and engaging ways to the genre(s) of ethnography and the field of humanistic (and/or post-humanistic) anthropology. \nAward\nA $1\,000 first-place\, a $500 second place and a $250 third-place prize will be awarded in autumn of 2025 (either via online SHA awards ceremony\, or in person at the American Anthropological Association meetings in New Orleans\, November 19-23\, 2025). \n2025 Edie Turner First Book Prize in Ethnographic Writing\nAuthors for whom their submission to the Victor Turner Prize is also their first book publication will also be eligible for consideration for the Edie Turner First Book Prize in Ethnographic Writing\, a newly created award which recognizes Edie Turner’s support and mentorship of junior scholars. Up to two winners of the Edie Turner Prize may be selected at the discretion of the prize committee. \nAward\nA $1\,000 first-place prize\, potentially split between co-winners\, will be awarded in autumn 2025 (either via online SHA awards ceremony\, or in person at the American Anthropological Association meetings in New Orleans\, November 19-23\, 2025). This award will not affect any book’s consideration for the Victor Turner Prize\, and a book may win both awards. There is no separate entry form for the Edie Turner Prize. \nEligibility\n\nEligible ethnographic genres for both prizes include single or co-authored book-length monographs\, narratives\, historical accounts\, biographies\, memoirs\, dramas\, and creative ethnography (including nonfiction\, fiction\, and poetic works); as well as single-authored collections of essays\, short prose\, or poems (sorry\, no edited collections with multiple contributors).\nOnly books copywrited in 2024 will be eligible. If the work is in translation to English\, we allow 2 extra years from the original publication date; therefore a book published in its original language no earlier than 2022 would be eligible.\nBooks must have been peer-reviewed independently of its author(s).\nBooks may be entered into the competition by authors\, publishers\, book editors\, or colleagues. No formal letter of nomination is needed.\nPublishers are encouraged to limit their submissions to ten books per publisher.\n\nSubmission Guidelines\nBy June 1\, 2025\, Please: \n\nComplete your information in this ENTRY FORM\nPay the entry fee (details to be provided)\nSubmit an electronic copy of your book by the June 1 deadline to SHAVictorTurner@gmail.com.\nShort listed book authors will be asked to submit paper copies of their books to each of the judges (addresses will be provided to these authors and/or publishers).\n\nBiographical information submitted will be used for presenting the winners and publicizing the results of the competition and will not be used for judging the quality of the entries. \nSubmission Fee\nFor authors who are already or become SHA members\, the entry fee is $25/book. For authors who are not SHA members\, the entry fee is $75/book. (Publishers: for all books you submit\, please check with authors first to discover whether they are current SHA members and please encourage authors to join SHA).

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?
