Call for Papers: Emergent Nature/Cultures

Papers are sought for a workshop entitled "Emergent Nature/Cultures," 
hosted by
the Department of Anthropology at the University of Minnesota. Papers should
address the nature/culture thematic, but contributors may interpret this 
as they
see fit.

The purpose of the workshop is to prepare manuscripts for inclusion in a new
journal, tentatively entitled "After Culture: Emergent Anthropologies," 
intended
as an international graduate student journal (although it will publish 
faculty
contributions as well). The workshop will only accept 16 papers for 
inclusion,
10 of these being earmarked for publication in the first two issues of 
"After
Culture." Full drafts of the manuscript (20-30 pages) must be made 
available by
September 8th for other workshop participants; contributors are expected to
participate in all of the workshop's sessions.

Following the workshop, participants will have until March 2006 to 
revise their
manuscripts, at which point they will pass through the traditional peer 
review
process for inclusion in "After Culture." The first issue of "After 
Culture" is
planned for release in September 2006.

Funds are being sought from the University of Minnesota to support 
travel and
lodging for participants. The dates for the workshop are tentatively 
planned for
September 24-25th, although the schedules of participants will be taken into
consideration.

Abstracts of 300-350 words with a tentative title should be sent to
wolf0358@umn.edu by July 22nd. Decisions regarding the inclusion of 
papers in
the workshop will be made by July 29th.

Send all inquiries to Matthew Wolf-Meyer at wolf0358@umn.edu.
