We have made a number of innovations as we celebrate the event’s return to the UK in the twenty-first century, including making to some subtle changes to its name. In part this was to reflect the fact that the five yearly congress is only one, albeit a crucial, part of the work of the International Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences, which was founded in 1948 under the auspices of UNESCO to extend the work of the earlier ICAES, although the definitive merger of the two organisations did not take place until the Tokyo congress in 1968. Besides giving anthropology a voice in multidisciplinary international forums such as the International Council for Science (ICSU) and International Social Science Council (ISSC), IUAES promotes on-going international collaboration between anthropologists working on particular issues through commissions. Many panels at this 17th Congress have been organised by IUAES commissions, and participation at this event offers delegates who are not presently involved to join existing commissions or even propose and organise new ones. We hope that our efforts in this congress will make a significant contribution to the future development of IUAES and to the global development of our subject. This is the second reason for changing the name from International Congress to World Congress. With delegates from more than sixty countries representing all the regions of the world, this congress is a truly global, world event rather than simply an international one. The organisers hope that everyone who attends this congress will find it an intellectually rewarding experience and that the variety of opportunities that we have provided for networking with colleagues from other countries will also prove valuable. A more detailed account of our academic vision for the congress is provided in later sections. But we also hope that everyone will enjoy their visit to Manchester simply as a visit. Manchester today is a welcoming and lively metropolitan city with a strong orientation to higher education, research and the creative industries, which offers a wide variety of artistic, musical, entertainment, culinary and leisure experiences. For those who are interested in the past, Manchester still offers visitors some unique opportunities to explore the historical roots of industrial capitalism. Whether inside or outside the congress, we hope that there will be much for delegates and their families to enjoy while you are visiting us, and I look forward to welcoming you all in person at the opening reception in the magnificent setting of the Bridgewater Hall on August 5th. John Gledhill Chair, UK Organising Committee 6 Practical information Using this programme The Timetable on the rear pages of this book gives times of the plenaries, panels and other events. The Goals and tracks section lays out the thematic pillars of the event. The Plenaries and debates section follows with details of who is talking when. The Events and meetings section gives details of the many additional gatherings besides the core academic programme. Exhibitions and screenings details some of the additional Visual Anthropology presentations occurring outside of the Visual panels. The Table of panels allows you to obtain titles, convenors, timing and location of individual panels. This is followed by a more detailed list of Panels and papers and their abstracts, in numerical order. Finally, at the end of the book there is the List of delegates, presenters and convenors to help you identify who is present and the sessions in which particular colleagues will present their work. If you need any help interpreting the information in the conference book, do ask one of the conference team at the reception desk or one of the student volunteers on hand to assist delegates throughout the venue. Please note: Each 90-minute session ordinarily accommodates four papers. This can be used as a rough guide in establishing which papers will be presented when, within multi-session panels. However, convenors have a degree of flexibility in structuring their panels, so we cannot guarantee the success of panel-hopping! A large number of colleagues had not signalled their withdrawal from the congress at the time of printing this book, and yet seemed to face insurmountable financial/administrative hurdles in attending. Consequently a considerable number of papers remain listed which may not materialise in practice. We apologise for these inaccuracies. It is worth checking the panel page on the website, as updates may have been made since we went to print. Venue The conference reception is in University Place (UP). The panels will take place in various University buildings, all of which are very close to each other: University Place, Alan Turing Building (ATB), Chemistry, Manchester Museum, Roscoe and the Schuster Building. There are maps at the rear of this book and there will be conference signage giving directions to all rooms. The events section, panel
