[ecrea] CFP: CSAS 2014- Media, Ideology, and Performance

Session for 91st Annual Meeting of the Central States Anthropological
Society

*2014 Annual Meeting*

*April 10-12, 2014*

*Illinois State University, Normal, Illinois*



*CALL FOR PAPERS: MEDIA, IDEOLOGY, and PERFORMANCE*


*Session Abstract:*


 Due to the ubiquity of media throughout the globe and its embeddedness in
the multiple discourses of everyday life, anthropologists encounter the
production and consumption of various kinds of media and the domestication
and localization of it in diverse places by diverse groups. To examine
diverse media practices and performances, anthropologists draw from
sociocultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology, and media theories
(Gershon 2010, Ginsburg et al. 2002, Hirschkind 2006, Spitulnik 1999,
Spitulnik-Vidali 2010). Some anthropologists explored how media have the
power to produce and reproduce reality and how they are embedded in
existing socioeconomic and sociopolitical contexts (Ginsburg et al. 2002)
and how people resist or reshape media messages (Spitulnik-Vidali 2010).
Others explored how media have been consumed by people in different
societies and how people populate media with their existing ideologies and
domesticate media in their existing practices (Hirschkind 2006, Eisenlohr
2010). In this panel, we aim to bring scholars from diverse backgrounds
whose work explore media, ideology, and performance to see the diversity of
theories and methods employed and to exchange ideas for future research on
media.
