Appel à communications : Early career scholar plenary session, EASA, Tallinn, 31/07-03/08/2014 — LIMITE : 01/05/2014
In connection to this year’s EASA Biennial Conference theme, the Early
Career Scholars Plenary looks forward to capturing “collaboration,
intimacy and revolution” both in form and content.
We wish to invite early career scholars to take part in this event
that, revolutionizing the tradition of previous Young Scholars Forums,
will be organized as a wide-angle snapshot of what young scholars are
really up to, showcasing emerging anthropological talent, themes and
ideas. We hope that the Young Scholars Forum will properly become a
venue for pulsating what anthropology is up to today.
To this effect, we are organizing a session where 12 young scholars
will be invited to present their work. The presentations, however,
will be constrained in time and form. Speakers will be asked to
prepare a 5-minute
presentation where they must introduce their work in exactly 15 slides
and 20 seconds each slide. 15 slides, 20 seconds per slide, 5 minutes.
A moderated discussion will follow the presentations.
**Who can apply?**
Early career scholars willing to explore the possibilities opened-up
by this new format, and who want to expose their engaging research and
ideas in a panorama of other equally promising peers.
The presentations should not be hurried-up “text-plus-images”
summaries of people’s work but rather should be critical and creative
visual analyses, which may employ for example animation,
data-visualisations, video,
montage, etc. Of course a text-only presentation may also work,
although you¹ll likely to be raising the stakes of the challenge!
**How to submit your proposal**
If you are an early career scholar and find our challenge of interest,
we would love to hear from you. Please submit a 250-word abstract
describing your area of work by February 27 following the instructions
outlined at the conference webpage:
http://www.nomadit.co.uk/easa/easa2014/panels.php5?PanelID=3210
Having sent us your expression of interest, you should start working
on a 5-minute video presentation (15 slides, 20 seconds each slide) of
the work you intend to present at the conference.
You must send this video-piece to us by May 1. EASA will set-up a
YouTube channel for you to upload your videos. Instructions will be
posted in due course at the conference’s webpage.
In the event that we receive more than 12 submissions, the conveners
will organize a selection process that shall abide by the following
criteria:
(i) Videos that stick rigorously to the format (5 minutes, 15 slides,
20s per slide);
(ii) Videos that make a creative use of the format for conceptual /
ethnographic exploration (that is, not simply adding a narrative to
the slides);
(iii) Videos that address the conference’s theme explicitly.
All the video-presentations received, regardless of whether they are
selected or not for presentation at the Plenary, will be made
available at EASA’s webpage.
**Still confused with the format?**
Google up examples of presentations like Pecha Kucha, Lightning Talk,
Ignite or TED.
