From the Centre for Imaginative Ethnography
"Please join us for the launch of "In Search of Lost Futures: Anthropological Explorations in Multimodality, Deep Interdisciplinarity, and Autoethnography" (Palgrave Macmillan, 2021) on Wednesday, 2 February 2022 – 11:30am to 1:30pm EST.
Hosted by York University - Sensorium: Centre for Digital Arts & Technology, Emergent Futures CoLab (EFC), and Centre for Imaginative Ethnography.
Visit https://sensorium.ampd.yorku.ca/lunchtime-seminar-series/ for details.
The book launch will feature editors Magdalena Kazubowski-Houston (CIE co-founding member/EFC co-founder/Associate Professor, Department of Theatre, York University) & Mark Auslander (Research Scholar, Department of Anthropology, Brandeis University), plus contributing authors Jodie Asselin, Brian Batchelor, Alexandrine Boudreault-Fournier, Susan Falls, Virginie Magnat, Rajat Nayyar, Felix Ringel and Marek Pawlak. Launch attendees will be able to purchase copies of the book (printed and eBook) at a 20% discount.
"In Search of Lost Futures" asks how imaginations might be activated through practices of autoethnography, multimodality, and deep interdisciplinarity—each of which has the power to break down methodological silos, cultivate novel research sensibilities, and inspire researchers to question what is known about ethnographic process, representation, reflexivity, audience, and intervention within and beyond the academy. By blurring the boundaries between the past, present, and future; between absence and presence; between the possible and the impossible; and between fantasy and reality, In Search of Lost Futures pushes the boundaries of ethnographic engagement. It reveals how researchers on the cutting edge of the discipline are studying absence and grief and employing street performance, museum exhibit, anticipation, or simulated reality to research and intervene in the possible, the impossible, and the uncertain.
For more information on the editors and presenting contributors, as well as other scheduled York University - Sensorium: Centre for Digital Arts & Technology Lunchtime Seminars, please see: https://sensorium.ampd.yorku.ca/lunchtime-seminar-series/
We hope to see you there!"
