The 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 any aspects
of media in order to understand the diversity of theories and methods employed
and exchange ideas for future research.
