[Linganth] Fiction Salons at the AAA -opportunity to lead a discussion

[Ilana Gershon]

The Fiction Salons at the recent AES/APLA/CAE conference were such a 
success that APLA is going to sponsor more Fiction Salons at the AAA 
meetings in Toronto.

We are calling for volunteers to lead discussions about a work of 
fiction for which you might have some ethnographic expertise -- perhaps 
you have done fieldwork in Sweden and would like to lead a discussion 
about a Swedish murder mystery.  Perhaps you think all the time about 
porous social orders, and would like to lead a discussion about the TV 
adaptation of China Mieville's The City and The City.     The 
discussions are free-form -- no prepared talks, we are looking for 
people to lead a potentially wide-ranging discussion with other 
anthropologists about what an anthropological imagination can reveal 
about a work of fiction.

This will be a special event at the AAA meetings, and so does not use up 
one of your two potential roles on AAA panels.

Please let Sahana Ghosh (sahana.ghosh at nus.edu 
<mailto:sahana.ghosh at nus.edu.sg>) or Negar Razavi 
(nrazavi at northwestern.edu) know if you would be interested in doing this 
*by Friday, April 21st. *All we need is an expression of interest, and a 
150 description of your take or questions about the book, film, graphic 
novel, short story, or television show that we would circulate to 
advertise your fiction salon.
