AES – SANA 2004 Joint Annual Meeting Program
We are pleased to welcome you to the Joint 2004 Annual
Meetings of the American Ethnological Society and Society for the Anthropology
of North America here in
The Annual Meetings of our two associations have been
brought together by our shared interest in the present, what it speaks to from
the past, and what it tells us of the future.
This shared interest is clear from our two connected, allied themes,
whose serendipitous elective affinity led the Conference organizers from the
AES and SANA to come together to form an integrated joint program. For the AES, the theme is “Crisis”
referring to a situation marked by time, a turning point in the political
histories that are being written of the world, its peoples, and its cultural
formations. Signs of manifold crises –
political, economic, cultural, and social –
are evident throughout the world, and at various scales and units of
analysis. For SANA, the theme is
“Containment and Transgression: Global Encounters with America @ Twenty-first
Century,” which confronts the troubled relationship of containment and
transgression that has transformed North America and its relationships with the
rest of the world, manifested at levels varying from the individual, the
community, to the nation-state and the transnational. Thinking dialectically, we believe it is
simply impossible to consider “crisis” occurring world-wide in the year 2004
without reflecting on the disturbed engagements of containment and
transgression that
We therefore find it far from coincidental that even
as we hold our joint meeting in
