However, with the recent proliferation of geographies of difference, new attention is being directed toward human experiences of immobility and confinement, in which 'normal' rhythms of movement have been disrupted or disabled. The aim of this session will be to explore how emotion is constituted in the spaces and subjects of confinement across a broad range of contexts. This session seeks to accommodate papers exploring the emotional subjectivities of confinement as well as the spaces, flows, and networks of affect in situations of confinement. By conceptualizing confinement in its most abstract sense, as a condition of being constrained by boundaries and limits (/con fines/), this interdisciplinary session seeks to induce unifying threads of affect and emotion from diverse experiences of confinement. These experiences could include imprisonment, institutionalization, mental illness, physical disability, impairment, and similar forms of spatial isolation or social difference.</span><br /></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;" >Questions that could be considered in this session include:</span><br /></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;" >· How does confinement reflect upon the relationships of (dis)unity in such dialectics as inside/outside, mind/body, known/knowable, and thoughts/things?</span><br /></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;" >· How are emotional experiences of confinement expressed and communicated?

text-align: justify;">The start of the 21st century has been characterised by urgent calls to examine the role of consumption in driving global environmental change and framing responses to these ecological dilemmas. Indeed, the ways in which consumption has been constituted and influenced by environmental, technological, economic, social and political processes have become critical issues for geographers. The convergence of these two research agendas has therefore provided geographers and other social science researchers with a range of opportunities to explore the emerging contexts for ‘sustainable lifestyles’ and the growing political importance of behaviour change. These have been undertaken at a range of scales (from individuals and households, to organisations and institutions) and have examined numerous environmentally-related practices that encompass consumptive, habitual and ‘post-consumption’ behaviours. Indeed, research in this field is characterised by a range of theoretical and applied approaches. Accordingly, this session aims to bring together geographers and other social scientists who are engaged in research on sustainable consumption, lifestyles and behaviour change. The session will provide an opportunity to explore the range of approaches towards sustainable consumption and will enable delegates to share theoretical and practical experiences from their research. We welcome contributions from researchers who are exploring this wide field, including those working on issues such as energy conservation, water resources, waste management, travel and transport, leisure and tourism and the broader field of ethical and green consumption. Contributions are welcome from those working at different scales (e.g. individual, household, organisational) and in a range of contexts (socio-economic, cultural, environmental). </p><br /> <p id="n_u216" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Please forward expressions of interest and abstracts (250 words) for contributions to the session organisers: Stewart Barr (<span id="n_u217" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"><u id="n_u218"><a id="n_u219" href="mailto:S.W.Barr@exeter.ac.uk">S.W.Barr@exeter.ac.uk</a></u></span>) or Frances Fahy (<span id="n_u220" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"><u id="n_u221"><a id="n_u222" href="mailto:f.fahy@ulster.ac.uk">f.fahy@ulster.ac.uk</a></u></span>).</p>Malinowskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07602675883906820588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15794126.post-1740973562352771892008-03-24T05:05:00.000-07:002008-03-24T05:07:54.161-07:00Survey Request<div style="text-align: justify;">Nadine Schuurman is conducting a survey on the balance between work and life amongst academic geographers.

We anticipate these sessions will attract physical and human geographers and span a variety of approaches to geographic inquiry.<br />Furthermore, we hope to attract non-geographers working on topics related to Katrina and New Orleans. The potential topics covered by sessions and submissions might include Social and Environmental Justice, participatory mapping, governance and community involvement, hazard mitigation/perception, soil mapping, hydrology, historical development, development geography, among many others (see a longer list below). The breadth of the topics is sure to make these sessions a rich opportunity for geographers and researchers of all backgrounds to come together to better understand the storm and its impact on New Orleans. The organizers are willing to develop themed Katrina/New Orleans sessions if there is enough interest; feel free to contact us with ideas.<br />Submissions will be grouped in an effort to bring common themes together in single sessions.<br /><br />Please send notes of interest to xun.shi@dartmouth.edu and scott_bell@brown.edu. We will eventually need an abstract PIN in order add presenters to these sessions.<br /><br />The Association of American Geographers Annual meeting will be held from April 15th through 19th in Boston, MA. Additional information and conference registration/abstract submission can be found at www.aag.org<br /><br />Other potential topics: demographic dynamics, social and environmental justice, land use and land cover changes, environmental conservation, environmental health, urban planning and management, hydrological modeling, emergency response, historical development, gentrification, governance and community involvement, participatory mapping, and the applications of spatial information technologies (GIS, remote sensing, and GPS) in all these issues<br />**********************************************************<br />Scott Bell<br />Assistant Professor, Population Studies Training Center Brown University<br />303 Maxcy Hall<br />Providence, RI 02912<br />scott.bell@brown.edu<br />ph. 401 863-1064 fax 401 863-3213<br /><br />also<br /><br />Associate Professor<br />Geography, University of Saskatchewan<br />scott.bell@usask.ca<br />**********************************************************<br /><br /></div>Malinowskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07602675883906820588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15794126.post-82875323336805511852007-10-15T10:18:00.000-07:002007-10-15T10:20:09.364-07:00AAG 08 Call for Papers: Cognitive Issues in Geographic Information Visualization<div style="text-align: justify;">Annual Meeting of the Association of American Geographers Boston, MA, April 15-19, 2008<br /><br />Call for Participation<br /><br />Session: Cognitive Issues in Geographic Information Visualization<br /><br />Organizers: Sara Irina Fabrikant (University of Zurich) and Amy Lobben (University of Oregon)<br /><br />Specialty Group Sponsors: Cartography, GIS, and Environmental Perception & Behavioral Geography<br /><br />Content<br /><br />We invite papers within the interdisciplinary research area of geographic information visualization and cognition.

In clothing that promotes the brand names or in proposals to advertise in space, we are witnessing the nearly ubiquitous presence of consumerist promotions on larger scales. Nature, culture and public spaces are increasingly commodified, packaged, and sold.<br /><br />At the same time, levels of consumption remain grossly uneven between and within countries. While capitalism suggests unencumbered growth in production and consumption, finite natural resources imply limits to growth. The enticing message of consumerism far outstrips the ability of the global economy to deliver affordable goods, even basic goods, while ignoring the environmental implications of increased levels of consumption. Attempts to address these issues on the part of affluent consumers are often criticized as superficial fixes that fail to address fundamental inequities and false assumptions.<br /><br />We seek contributions, theoretical and demonstrative, that address the spatial or environmental aspects of consumerism, advertising and citizen responses. Topics may include:<br /><br />"Green" consumerism<br />Citizen responses to commercialism<br />Siting and resistance to big box stores<br />China as the new consumer<br />Commodity chain studies<br />Product life-cycle analysis<br />Bottled water<br />Commodification and commercialization of public space Voluntary simplicity Non-conventional product promotion Commidification of culture and nature "Buy local" movements Fair trade movements Carbon bonds<br /><br />Abstracts of no more than 250 words should be sent to <a href="mailto:gmartin@uoregon.edu">Galen Martin </a>(<a href="mailto:gmartin@uoregon.edu">gmartin@uoregon.edu</a>) by Oct 15.<br /></div>Malinowskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07602675883906820588noreply@blogger.com
