CFP: Digital Anthropology (DANG) at AAA 2013

A last minute nudge toward a call for paper abstracts on the overlap of online and physical IRL ethnographic practices for researching “digital publics.” Seeking insight into methods & ethics for a panel session at AAA 2013, the Digital Anthropology Group wants YOU for this year’s American Anthropological Association meeting in – submit an abstract TODAY 10 April for review. There are still a few hours left to join the conversation!

Call for Papers: “Digital Anthropologists’ Current Engagements with 21st Century Publics” – #Digital Publics, #Ethics, #Methods, #Insights

The panel organizers are particularly interested in exploring major questions such as:

• How do anthropologists collect and analyze data while doing digital field work?
• What are the ethical issues facing anthropologists who rely on visual data and texts collected in the digital publics of the internet (social networking sites, forums, websites, etc)?
• How does digital anthropology intersect with the physical as people increasingly act in physical space in response to the digital realm?
• What kind of “future publics” are being constructed through today’s “current engagements” by users and anthropologists in the cyberspatial plazas of the internet (social networking sites, etc.)?

These questions can be explored in the panel through “ethnographic examples and evidence of the interactions between digital/online and physical life” – while linking the future of anthropological engagements with the public to current concerns about digital studies in anthropology.
