JAPAN AND MATERIALITY IN A BROADER PERSPECTIVE

University of Oslo Museum of Cultural History
March 14-17, 2007
Dear Group Colleagues with a Japan focus,
You are invited to sign up for the next Japan Anthropology Workshop (JAWS) conference in Oslo. The conference addresses the theme "Japan and Materiality in a Broader Perspective." But any other topic as well is equally welcome, whether this would be a proposal for a panel, an individual paper, a special lecture, a media event, or a round table discussion.Contributors to the conference are also invited to approach issues related to Japan from a cross-disciplinary point of view. Students and doctoral candidates are welcome to participate. The inclusive approach to the issue of Japan and materiality may be illustrated by the following possible topics:
* Popular culture: media, film, fashion, commercial culture, food & drink
* Place and landscape: monuments, sights, itineraries, mementos
* The materiality of display: theme parks, museums, games, virtual reality
* Significant objects: tools for identity making, proprietorship, emblems of power and interest
* Inalienable or marketable crafts and skills
* Nature, body, sexuality, and the sacred within the context of tools andtechnology
* The physicality of selfhood: social use of the body
Received submissions will be posted on the conference website http://www.khm.uio.no/jaws-2007/. Some of the already registered panels may be open for additional participants. Please contact the organizer for information on this. Papers submitted as individual presentations will be grouped into thematically coherent panels.
