<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Aurora, thank you for circulating this wonderful panel. I may be submitting to you a paper proposal dealing with responsibility and evidence involved in imagistic multimodal discourses in the media, including the very recent state-level
controversy surrounding the use of map representations in the Netflix documentary, The Devil Next Door, that occasioned a formal protest from Morawiecki, the prime minister of Poland. Among other ways for triangulating the problem of responsibility, authenticity,
evidence and performativity in imagistic discourses, I would be drawing on the work of Christopher Ball (2017). Working title, "A picture is worth a thousand words. Or is it? Responsibility, evidence and performativity in the mapping of evil."

<span style="font-family:HelveticaNeue">Our contemporary moment is often represented as marked by the progressive extension of market logics to every domain of human existence and interaction (Brown 2003, 2006; Cruikshank 1993; Martin 2000; Rose 1990; etc.).
Key to this process has been the institution of novel paradigms for determining moral and epistemic standards of conduct. The ideal neoliberal subject is imagined to be engaged in the moral project of maximizing the value of one’s human capital, as well as
a constant evidencing of one’s engagement with such responsibility of self-development. Institutional, technological, and political economic configurations constantly monitor and assess individuals in these terms, guiding them towards internalization of such
discourse through self-modulation. A growing ethnographic literature has thus shown how the contemporary world is characterized by the proliferation of evidentiary regimes based on ideals of transparency and moral standards pivoting on notions of accountability
and individual entrepreneurialism (see for, example, Cavanaugh 2016; Gershon 2011,
<span style="color:rgb(26,26,26)">Matza 2009; Shore and Wright 2003; </span>Strathern 2000; Urciuoli 2008; West and Sanders 2003). But we still lack a fuller account of how these larger discursive formations impact the grain of everyday life, structuring our daily
encounters and interactions. Drawing on the seminal volume edited by Hill and Irvine (1993) and extending its insights into contemporary political economic context, this panel explores of how situated language use participates in producing the specific notions
of knowledge and agency that characterize the late capitalist present. Our goal is to “turn the tools of linguistic anthropology” to further our understanding of how neoliberal notions of responsibility and evidence are both produced and challenged through
actual instances of discursive activity (Hill and Irvine 1993: 3). Specific questions addressed by contributions may include: </span><u></u><u></u></p>
