Convenors: Veronika Cummings (University of Mainz), Franziska Fay (Goethe
University Frankfurt)


Short abstract:

This panel focus on the potential and limitations of geo-ethnographic
research in the Indian Ocean region. We seek to explore geographers’ and
anthropologists’ methodological use of (visual) research tools like
photography or mapping to engage with concepts like mobility, belonging, or
identity.


Long abstract:

This panel calls for papers that focus on the potential and limitations of
geo-ethnographic research approaches in the Indian Ocean region. We are
interested in contributions that are based on geographically located and
ethnographically captured data to engage with concepts such as mobility,
cosmopolitanism, identity, belonging, translocality, diaspora, religious
practices, generation etc. and that reflect on their past, present and
possible future-uses in both geography and anthropology. Beyond a focus on
regional and theoretical topics, we are especially interested in furthering
a methodological discussion between geographers and anthropologists that
drives forward the interdisciplinary dialogue between those two fields.
This includes exploring creative and untapped possibilities that the use of
ethnographic research methods may foster in human geographical research and
vice versa. Examples could include the use of visual research tools like
photography or drawing to trace translocal networks and routes of mobility,
the application of maps and map-making for a deeper understanding of
diaspora and belonging, or approaches to engaging with digital social-media
platforms and their public visual co-creations to diversify concepts like
generation or religion in their contemporary understandings. This panel is
intentionally co-convened by a geographer and an anthropologist and thus
particularly welcomes paper proposals that offer reflections on the use of
a combination of geo-ethnographic research methods in, across and between
Indian Ocean societies.

Proposals should consist of a paper title, a (very) short abstract of <300
characters and an abstract of 250 words.  On submission the proposal, the
proposing author (but not any co-authors listed) will receive automated
email confirming receipt. If you do not receive this email, please first
check the login environment (click login on the left) to see if your
proposal is there.  If it is, it simply means confirmation got spammed or
lost; and if it is not, it means you need re-submit, as process went wrong
somewhere.

All paper proposals must be made via the online system, and not via email. A
paper can only be submitted once and only one paper can be submitted per
person.

Please do get in touch if you want to discuss paper ideas.
