CALL FOR PAPERS
CALL FOR PAPERS, for the panel Bodies of Archives/Archival Bodies (P029)
Due by 8th January 2018
This is part of the Art, Materiality and Representation Conference hosted by the Royal Anthropological Institute (RAI) at The British Museum, Clore Centre and SOAS, London, 1st-3rd June 2018.
Convenors: Jennifer Clarke (Gray's School of Art, RGU), Giulia Battaglia (IRMECCEN, Université Sorbonne Nouvelle; IIAC/EHESS) and Fiona Siegenthaler (University of Basel)
Abbreviated Abstract
This panel calls for academic and artistic interventions that discuss objects, images and/or bodies as archives of experiences and processes.
Our panel begins with the premise that archives, prone to decay, dissolution and re-arrangement, are permanently in process. Our interest is not limited to objects, but also to the idea of the body (or collective bodies) as archives of experience.
In particular, we are interested in the archive's potential for collaborative artistic and ethnographic practices: What forms of collaborative work does the archive offer? In what ways can the collective sensibility of the archive be explored? What can we gain from a process-based notion of the archive? What implications does this have on the role of the archive in art and anthropology, and for the practices related to it in particular?
Please provide a proposal by 8th January 2018 to the following online form:
http://nomadit.co.uk/rai/events/rai2018/conferencesuite.php/panels/6079
Proposals must consist of a paper title, a short abstract of less than 300 characters and an abstract of 250 words. The inclusion of multimedia, film, audio, or other elements as part of the presentation would be very welcome. Please contact the convenors if you would like any further information.
For further details about the overall conference please see:

Full Abstract
The concept of the 'archive' had arguably received insufficient critical attention in anthropology until relatively recently despite its central role in research practices. However, recent work has highlighted the significance of archives for the future of anthropology (Kohl 2013), and ideas about the 'archive' as a static repository of history are being challenged. Interdisciplinary experimentations with forms of archive/archiving are increasingly emerging (cf. the anarchive) raising important questions about both the collaborative and processural nature of archives (Manning 2016).
This panel begins with the premise that archives, prone to decay, dissolution and re-arrangement, are permanently in process (cf. http://grapaub.org/en/archive/). This perspective enables us to engage with cleavages and links between past knowledge and future imagination, as well as the role of representation. Our interest is not limited to objects, but also to the idea of the body (or collective bodies) as archives of experience.
In particular, we are interested in the archive's potential for collaborative artistic and ethnographic practices: What forms of collaborative work does the archive offer? In what ways can the collective sensibility of the archive be explored? What can we gain from a process-based notion of the archive? What implications does this have on the role of the archive in art and anthropology, and for the practices related to it in particular?
Through this panel we call for papers and art/media interventions that explore a variety of contemporary understandings of 'archive' that open up for individuals, groups and institutions possibilities to produce creative anthropological and artistic work.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATIONS
Site and Space in Southeast Asia
Deadline: 14 January 2018
The organisers of Site and Space in Southeast Asia seek applications for participation in a two-year funded research opportunity exploring the art, architecture, and landscape of Southeast Asia.
Site and Space in Southeast Asia explores the intersections of urban space, art and culture in three cities—Yangon, Penang, and Huế—through collaborative, site-based research. With major funding from the Getty Foundation and partners from within and beyond the region, Site and Space in Southeast Asia seeks to support innovative research in the art and architectural histories of the region, foster professional networks among early career scholars, and expand engagement with an ever more global field.
The concept of site offers a rich and multivalent point of entry for constructing connected histories of art, architecture, and cultural production. Engaging with cities as sites that generate cultural narratives, Site and Space in Southeast Asia will explore spaces of memory, interaction, and production across national and regional boundaries. With a chronological span from the colonial period through independence and into the contemporary, a period of dynamic, often divergent political and social development, Site and Space in Southeast Asia seeks to enrich the study of art and architectural histories of Southeast Asia through engagement with site and space.
Over the course of the two-year research period commencing in June 2018, three small teams of researchers will be funded to conduct field and archival research exploring the physical and cultural histories of three project cities, with a particular interest in their artistic and built environments. Annual whole-of cohort workshops will allow comparative discussion of findings and mapping of future research directions. During the first year, collaborative research will allow a “coming to terms” with the city as site and its intersecting art historical themes. During the second year, researchers will pursue individual projects emerging from these themes. The project will culminate in one or more collective outputs to be determined through discussions with participants and institutional partners.
Applications are invited from early career researchers working in related areas (including art and architectural history, landscape studies, urban studies, film studies, anthropology, etc.), and are particularly welcomed from those connected to institutions in the region; with experience in modes of spatial analysis in the humanities; and with interest in exploring digital methods in site-based research. Although research will be conducted in all appropriate languages, participants must have strong spoken and written capacity in English.
Organized in partnership by researchers at the University of Sydney, Nanyang Technological University, National Gallery Singapore, the University of Malaya, the University of Toulouse, and Dumbarton Oaks, Site and Space in Southeast Asia is primarily funded by the Getty Foundation’s Connecting Art Histories initiative.
Project leaders include:
Caroline Herbelin (Toulouse), Field Director, Huế
Yin Ker (NTU), Field Director, Yangon
Mark Ledbury (Sydney), Chief Investigator
Simon Soon (Malaya), Field Director, Penang
Adrian Vickers (Sydney), Chief Investigator
Stephen Whiteman (Sydney), Chief Investigator, Project Director
To apply, please complete this form including basic biographical information, two short essays and current CV.

Prix 2018 de la Maison des Cultures du Monde
À l’occasion du trentième anniversaire de sa fondation, la Maison des Cultures du Monde a créé en 2012 un prix destiné à permettre à un(e) étudiant(e) ou jeune chercheur(se) la réalisation d’un projet d'étude et de valorisation d’une forme spectaculaire et/ou musicale correspondant à cette orientation artistique. Ce prix permet au/à la lauréat(e) de compléter son projet de recherche en lui offrant la possibilité de faire venir en France dans le cadre du Festival de l’Imaginaire des artistes et/ou praticiens de la forme spectaculaire et/ou musicale qu'il/elle étudie.
Le ou la lauréat(e) du Prix de la Maison des Cultures du Monde se voit offrir :
- une formation de cinq jours, au cours de laquelle les chercheurs, administrateurs et techniciens de la Maison des Cultures du Monde lui font partager leurs expérience et savoir-faire. Ces 5 jours ne sont pas forcément regroupés et peuvent prendre la forme de plusieurs rencontres, à Paris et/ou Vitré.
- une mission (voyage et séjour) d'une semaine maximum dans le pays de la forme spectaculaire ou/et de l’expression musicale étudiée dans les limites du projet et du budget retenus. Cette mission n’est pas une mission d’étude ou de recherche mais a pour but d’identifier les artistes et/ou praticiens qui seront invités au Festival de l’Imaginaire et d’initier le projet de leur venue en France.
La Maison des Cultures du Monde prend également en charge les frais relatifs à l’invitation en France des artistes et/ou praticiens de cette forme en fonction du projet et du budget retenus.

Le patrimoine au Cambodge
Anciens rites, nouveaux usages et enjeux d’appropriation
Heritage in Cambodia: Ancient Rituals, New Practices and Issues of Appropriation
La disparition constante des traces du passé proche dans la capitale Phnom Penh conduit à se questionner sur la valeur du patrimoine contemporain dans le Cambodge d’aujourd’hui. Le pays arbore sur son drapeau la représentation des temples d’Angkor, référence commune à un prestigieux passé, lointain et indépassable. Mais son histoire contemporaine est segmentée de mémoires concurrentes qui produisent chacune leurs propres formes de représentations. Les conflits politiques actuels s’enracinent dans ces représentations et empêchent la formulation d’un consensus quant à ce qui mérite d’être conservé et transmis aux jeunes générations. Dans un contexte de transformations majeures des relations sociales et de l’environnement propres à la transition économique, les Cambodgiens évoluent dans un chantier urbanistique permanent qui voudrait signifier l’avènement d’une nouvelle ère. Celle-ci peut-elle s’embarrasser de tels conflits mémoriels ? Ce numéro entend rendre compte des pratiques et usages du patrimoine contemporain par les Cambodgiens qui, dans ce contexte, revendiquent des formes d’appropriation différentiées de leurs identités. Il s’agit de s’interroger sur les rituels qui restituent la relation au passé pour résoudre les enjeux du présent. La patrimonialisation offre en effet une forme de sacralisation qui peut être exploitée comme un argument de défense des acquis mais aussi de promotion des pratiques sociales. En valorisant le caractère patrimonial de ces pratiques, conçues comme traditionnelles et donc identitaires, les acteurs de ces rituels risquent cependant de les figer dans un folklorisme désincarné. Leur efficience passe alors par la transformation des enjeux de leur performance pour de nouveaux publics.
