Welcome

 

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 Atlanta, Georgia.    We have a rich and stimulating Program for our participants, whether from SANA or AES.

 

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 North America displays vis-à-vis the rest of the world.  We conceptualize these two themes as fundamentally connected, while being aware of the need to avoid Eurocentrism and ethnocentrisms.  We are aware of the violence that this relationship appears to entail – for individuals, members of lower classes, ethnic groups, racial and ethnic minorities, women, sexual minorities, First World peoples, and many others who are marginalized by the current world order.  At the same time, we are aware that when people experience this violence, some will seek to create narratives of hope, some will seek to engage in transformation, while others will attempt to invent utopias, nostalgias, and rationalizations.   Although the themes for the Annual Meetings of the two associations were, to our knowledge, independent inventions,  at the same time their affinity reflects a broader convergence toward a structure of sentiment.  This is one which holds that the two themes both reflect and acknowledge deep and fundamental changes in the world, while being critical of rhetorics of “crisis” that would conflate, in Marx’s words, “tragedy” with “farce.” 

 

We therefore find it far from coincidental that even as we hold our joint meeting in Atlanta, the United States marks an ambivalent first anniversary of the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq.  Tens of thousands of people are marching against the militarism and imperialism that anchored that war.  An increasing shortage of the fossil-fuel energy that powers the current arrangements of domination is becoming more widely acknowledged.   The conventional wisdom of the neoliberal “Washington consensus” that lay like an iron fist  on the Third World is now increasingly and obviously under challenge.  We wonder whether this conjuncture of events points to a turning in the world order that all too many people have suffered from, and that all too many in circumstances of privilege have become inured to?

 

On behalf of SANA and the AES, we want to thank the many people from both organizations that helped make the joint 2004 Annual Meeting an outstanding success.  We are proud of our Program, and deeply grateful to all those who put it together from both organizations, including the AES and SANA Boards, and numerous colleagues who have served as “public citizens” by giving us their advice, support, time, and money.  We wish emphatically to acknowledge the genius of Ida Susser, who first proposed that since our themes were so close, the two associations should go ahead and meet together anyway.  We want to particularly mention for our thanks the tireless efforts of Erik Reavely, who served as Conference Assistant by working with us every step of the way from planning, through web site design, to execution.  We are also extremely grateful for the hard work of Khara Minter, AAA Meetings Coordinator.      We express our thanks to the associations that made this Program possible through their financial and moral support.  In addition to the AES and SANA, these include the journal Critique of Anthropology, the Association of Feminist Anthropologists, the Society for Lesbian and Gay Anthropologists, the Society for Urban, National, and Transnational Anthropology, and Purchase College of the State University of New York.
