  Time, rhythm and temporality in the cultural sectors

  4th study day of the LabEx ICCA young researchers network

  Cette journée d’étude propose d’interroger les modalités de la production, mais également de la consommation et des pratiques culturelles et communicationnelles – et leurs possibles mutations – au regard du temps. Il s’agira par exemple de se demander comment les rapports entre passé, présent et futur s’articulent de manière spécifique pour les activités culturelles et créatives ? Ou encore, comment les caractéristiques de la temporalité, comme l’instant, la durée, la séquence, le rythme, sont investies et valorisées par les différents acteur·trices et jouent sur la consommation culturelle ?

  Domestic accumulation, decluttering, and the stuff of kinship in anthropological perspective

  We invite submissions of abstracts considering the following sorts of questions: What is the relationship between storage and the labor of kinship? What kinds of possessions are sources of obligation? Which are experienced as social or animate beings? What social practices and spatial processes surround waste, excess, and the riddance of objects from the home? How might local ethnographic concepts like hau orbrol inform the anthropological understanding of attachment to possessions, recycling, or the circulation of second-hand objects? When is accumulation a valued social practice, and when is it morally suspect? How is the space of storage constructed in relationship to the social space of the home, and how might this reflect on the local category of stored things? We invite authors to consider how practices such as storage, stockpiling, and purging of belongings can be approached anthropologically in order to provide both nuanced ethnographic depth and broader cross-cultural and historical perspective. Interdisciplinary perspectives are also welcome.
