With the theme "THINKING CULTURES, CHANGING WORLDS" we celebrate the annual meeting of AIBR, Network of Iberoamerican Anthropologists. The city of Madrid, which hosted our first meeting in 2015, now welcomes back the 5th edition of the AIBR International Conference of Anthropology.
Over the past four years thorugh which the AIBR Conference has taken place, we have seen many changes. In Spain, in America, and throughout the world. Changes that have not always been pleasant, and that often make us rethink the ideas and contributions that we can offer from our discipline.
Anthropology, as the area that endeavors the study of culture and diversity, is the adequate platform to gather different human worldviews. We do not limit ourselves to describe, record, document or reproduce cultures. In fact, we also interpret and question these, and in so doing, we transform and mobilize the different worlds we explore.
In this Conference, we accept the challenge of questioning the concept of culture, since, like any other concept, is limited by our own values, structures, languages and minds. The theme "Thinking cultures" thus becomes a way to shift those limits and explore beyond them. It creates new paths to understand the worlds, and therefore, to change them.
We accept proposals in seven different formats: full panels, open communications, audiovisuals, posters, workshops, book presentations and other innovative formats.
Call for proposals open until December 10, 2018.
