As always, if there is a concept you think should be written up as one of the Key Concepts, whether in English or any other language, propose it. If you are new to CID, please provide a brief resume.

On Translation as an Intercultural Practice

Guest Post by Paola Giorgis
On Translation as an Intercultural Practice

It is an encounter with diversity which favors a critical reflexivity on what we take-for-granted of both emic and etic worldviews. It is practice that involves the constant exercise of moving in a space in-between. It represents the opportunity to engage in a double perspective. It is an experience which make us observe, challenge, redefine and move through borders. It is an occasion to look at our knowledge, assumptions and representations from a different point of view.  Well, no, it is not Intercultural Dialogue. It is Translation.

CASBS at Stanford Seeks Fellows

Stanford’s Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences Seeks Fellows

The Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS) at Stanford University, is now accepting applications for its residential fellowships for the 2017- 2018 academic year. Online applications will be accepted at the Center’s website through November 4, 2016 for the 2017-2018 fellowship year.

Fellows represent the core social and behavioral sciences (anthropology, economics, history, political science, psychology, and sociology) but also the humanities, education, linguistics, communications, and the biological, natural, health, and computer sciences. We are pleased to partner with several entities to provide funding for some residential fellowships whose research projects focus on certain topics.  Our newest partner fellowship programs are the Presence-CASBS and Stanford-Taiwan Social Science fellowships, which join the Berggruen, Mindset Scholars Network, and Stanford Cyber Initiative fellowships offered through CASBS.

CASBS is a collaborative environment that fosters the serendipity arising from unexpected intellectual encounters. We believe that cross-disciplinary interactions lead to beneficial transformations in thinking and research.

CFP Black & African-Oriented Media

Call for Proposals
Black and African-Oriented Media: Content, Audience Reception, and Global influence

Black media outlets have been a significant pillar of community and identity for African Americans in the United States. Currently production, distribution, and representation have seemingly increased with the success of programs like Empire, Black-Ish, Shonda Rhimes’ programs and a host of films starring Black leads. However, according to a recent New York Times article (Embers and Sandos, 2016) Black ownership has also been decreasing in recent times. This same trend can be said of some African produced media (Karikari, 2010); while ownership of print outlets is decreasing, there is also a growth in broadcast, film and music production as well as its global reach. Previous seminal work and collections including those of  Beretta E. Smith-Shomade, Robin Means Coleman, Venise T. Berry, and Catherine Squires have led the way in giving voice to Black American oriented media. An aim of this project, however, is to provide a space for which both African and Black American media are explored. The purpose of this edited volume is to gather literature which explores media created by members of the African diaspora, examines its relationship with diasporic audiences as well as its impact on mainstream culture in general. In addition, this volume will catalogue interdisciplinary research on the topic of Black and African diasporic media, as well as establish media produced by African and African Americans as a significant site to explore questions of identity, culture, audiences and cultural influence. Case studies, essays, and research (accessible to a broad audience) from a diverse range of methodologies and disciplines are welcome. Possible topics include, but are not limited to, analysis of Black/African-oriented media content (e.g. film, television, print, music), critiques of industries that impact Black/African-oriented media, globalization of Black/African oriented products, transnational audiences, audience reception, psychological effects, and its relation to Black and African’s identity and socio-cultural experience. For more possible examples see tentative outline below. Adjustments may be made depending on submissions.
