Call for Papers "From the Crossroads of Civilizations: Understanding Cultural Diversity to Connect Societies" 2010 IUAES Inter-Congress International Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences (IUAES) Department of Anthropology, Ahi Evran University Antalya (Turkey) 3-6 October 2010 __________________________________________________ The Ahi Evran University Department of Anthropology is proud to announce to you the 2010 IUAES Inter-Congress to be held October 3-6 2010 in Antalya, Turkey. Since our approval to host the congress, preparations and arrangements have been conducted in collaboration with various anthropology departments, professors, and graduate students across Turkey. Our collaborative efforts promise to bring a diverse, exciting, and informative Inter-Congress. Turkey's location at a point where three continents of the old world are closest to each other and where Asia and Europe meet has served as a crossroads that is one of the few areas that has been continuously inhabited since the dawn of mankind. The archeological richness is a telling measure of the human history of cultural interaction, conflict, and integration that shape the region. Since the founding of the Turkish Republic in 1925 anthropology as a discipline has assumed an important role in understanding and theorizing cultural exchanges between ethnically, linguistically, and religiously diverse Anatolian peoples and their neighbors; we are honored to strengthen this legacy with IUAES. We believe that the physical and metaphorical bridge that Turkey embodies creates an optimum perspective from which to approach, investigate, and share with one another methods for exploring key anthropological subjects: cultural diversity, multiculturalism, migration, transnationalism, the other, belonging, and religion, politics, ethnicity, culture, and gender. With this in mind, the general theme for the Inter-Congress has been chosen as follows: "From the Crossroads of Civilizations: Understanding Cultural Diversity to Connect Societies". We plan to touch on some of the biggest challenges to understand the individual and human societies in the age of global capitalism: the rapid movement from rural to urban, emigration, and transnational networks. We anticipate a diversity of papers and poster presentations from all the regions of the world on anthropological and ethnological subjects. Abstract submissions will be accepted April 15 – July 1, 2010 and notification of acceptance will be given August 1, 2010. All abstracts can be e-mailed to the organization commitee listed below. The early registration deadline is August 20, 2010. Online registration through ASTERYA will be available then.
