[Linganth] CFP: SIEF 2021 / Conflicting Regimes of Authority

[Swinehart,Karl Frederic]

Consider joining us online / in Helsinki this June. The deadline for submissions is Nov 26:

International Society for Ethnology and Folklore (SIEF) 2021 Panel:

**Whose rules? Conflicting regimes of authority and shared social space.

**Organized by Karl Swinehart and Elina I. Hartikainen.

   This panel examines social practices that transgress
   competing regimes of authority within shared social spaces. Laws are often
   associated with states, yet communities of practice operating at scales
   both larger and smaller than state formations operate with their own rules
   which bring them into varying degrees of evasion, friction, or open
   conflict with states' legal frameworks. This panel illuminates the
   processes involved in the contested typifications of social practices as
   alternately legal / illegal, obligatory / forbidden, sacred / profane
   across social boundaries. For practices that have been stigmatized by the
   mark of illegality, how has stigma been contested, embraced, or transformed
   by practitioners? How have acts of contestation reconfigured transgressive
   practices themselves? What actors - whether human or non-human - come to
   mediate across these social boundaries? We are particularly interested in
   dynamics of religious practice, public performance, and the state, but
   welcome all papers that examine social practices which bring conflicting
   regimes of authority into degrees of dialogue and/or conflict across social
   boundaries.
