CALL FOR SESSION AND PAPER ABSTRACTS

World Archaeological Congress InterCongress

OVERCOMING STRUCTURAL VIOLENCE

October 25-31, 2008

Ramallah

The World Archaeological Congress plans its first Middle East InterCongress
in Ramallah, West Bank between October 25 and 31, 2008. Sessions and papers
will explore the question of structural violence: the insidious structures
and the stark inequalities that perpetuate conflicts. Structural violence is
built into western countries' relations with much of the rest of the world,
preventing most non-western countries from becoming economically and
culturally 'equal' to the West. Often structural violence is hidden and
works without overt physical infringement, making it all the more effective.

As anthropologists, archaeologists, cultural heritage professionals, and
concerned local community members, we ask what role archaeological and
cultural heritage research has in overcoming these 'in-built' obstacles?
Must we engage against structural violence outside of archaeological
practice, or can archaeological practice confront and impact the ravages of
structural violence?

Several different events are planned for the InterCongress. Opening
convocation will be held October 25th and sessions will be held on October
26th and October 27th. October 28th, 29th and 30th are reserved for
workshops, 'hands on' experiences and tours of the region by regional
cultural heritage non-government organizations. Closing sessions and
consideration of InterCongress resolutions will take place on October 31st.
