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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Please let Sahana Ghosh (<a class="rABsFf RffVmb AL18ce"

aria-label="sahana.ghosh@nus.edu.sg From your Google Contacts"

or Negar Razavi (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:nrazavi@northwestern.edu">nrazavi@northwestern.edu</a>) know if you would be
interested in doing this <strong>by Friday, April 21st. </strong>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.
