You are all invited CALL FOR PAPERS 36th UGAT Annual Conference Saint Louis University, Baguio City October 23 to 25, 2014 Trajectories of the “Anthropological” in the Philippines This year’s annual conference shifts its attention from anthropology as a discipline to the “anthropological” as a stance. The “anthropological” is invariably articulated in the problematics of “contextual analysis, mediations, and interventions,” broadly construed, in much of historical, social, economic, political, and cultural inquiries on the complexities of life across various times and places. In other words, the conference tries to locate the anthropological moment in the understanding and transformation of the vast lifeworld. It also acknowledges and assesses conceptual, methodological, and practical contributions of the “anthropological” deployed by practitioners in the fields of the natural and social sciences, law, philosophy, education, medicine, humanities, media studies, and so on, in the local and global contexts of the Philippines. We, therefore, invite individual paper, poster, short film/video, and panel proposals explicating how the “anthropological” is reflexively, ethically, and methodologically engaged in various fields of endeavour, for what purposes, and with what consequences. Topical arenas include, but are not limited to, the following, with a particular inflection of the anthropological stance: • Seminal Figures: Anthropological Stance in the Philippines • Social Sciences • Natural Sciences • Philosophy • Law • Arts and Humanities • Media Studies • Human Movement • Education • Social Work and Community Development • Folklore Studies • Philippine Studies • Business • Medicine • Missiology • Urban Planning GUIDELINES ON ABSTRACT SUBMISSIONS 1.
