Call for Papers
Visualizing Culture: The Politics of Community and Citizenship
in Asia

This panel for the 2007 American Anthropological Association
meetings seeks papers that broadly explore the relationship
between the visual and claims for citizenship by marginalized
communities in Asia.

While studies on the politics of citizenship have
traditionally focused on participation in civic and
state-sponsored activities, the influence of the arts and
visual cultures in conferring a sense of belonging remains to
be addressed. The intersection of visual culture and
citizenship can be harnessed to offer a particular vantage
point to analyze the links between access to state
representation, power, and capital for marginalized
communities. Papers that also engage with citizenship in
relation to globalization are particularly welcome.

Please email 250-300 word abstract by Tuesday, March 20 to:
 
Ritu G.Khanduri: prgk at mail.utexas.edu and Jennifer
Esperanza:esperanj at southwestern.edu

in the metro Los Angeles area.

The Golden West Humanitarian Foundation is the only
operationally focused, United States based, non-profit
organization dedicated to the development of innovative,
appropriate materials and technologies designed to overcome
the operational limitations encountered by the humanitarian

safeguard the lives and livelihoods of men, women and children
residing in areas contaminated with landmines and unexploded
ordnance.  (For more information please visit

This is an excellent opportunity for those wishing to develop
skills in non-profit fundraising, marketing and
outreach—sought after and useful skills for social change
activists. We are expanding our Southeast Asian operations
from Cambodia into neighboring Vietnam and the intern(s) will
work closely with the Program Development and Communications
Officer focusing on fundraising, event planning, and
marketing, with building up Golden West’s financial and
organizational capacity to undertake this expansion, as the
internship objective.  The intern(s) will concentrate on the
planning and execution of fundraising events and a community

*Represent the organization in community settings at special
