Call HAU | ILLUSTRATING CULTURES: THE ETHNOGRAPHIC POWER OF COMICS
This call for papers focuses on the innovative intersection of comics with ethnographic research, emphasizing the potential of comics-based ethnographies and ethno-graphic novels in social sciences. Comics have transcended their cultural niche to become a pervasive element in global narratives, leading to the evolution of ‘Comics Based Research’ and ‘Ethno-graphic Novels’—concepts that have become integral to the progressive approach known as ‘Graphic Social Science’. The call includes theoretical and empirical proposals to stimulate discussion on comics as ethnographic tool in social science, addressing their role in representing cultural politics, social classes, and stereotypes without reinforcing them. Submissions should critically consider the participatory demands of this medium, its application in potentially sensitive research environments, and the implications for participant welfare. Moreover, the ethical dimension of this methodological approach, particularly in relation to the portrayal of social, cultural, and gender diversities within graphic formats, warrants thorough scholarly attention.
Contributions regarding the following topics will be considered:
• How do comics navigate cross-cultural research settings in ethnography?
• What body of knowledge is being created by comics ethnography-based?
• How do comics as a form of visual narrative enhance or challenge traditional ethnographic research methods?
• What are the potential future directions for the use of comics in ethnographic research?
Schedule and deadlines:
Deadline for abstract submissions: 30 May 2024
Abstracts (in English) with a maximum length of 500 words should be sent as email attachments to: francesco.dellapuppa@unive.it; veronica.moretti4@unibo.it rosalina@uevora.pt
Notification of acceptance will be communicated by 15 June 2024
Deadline for full submissions to the journal: 30 October 2024
The papers will be subject to a blind peer review process.

CfP | LIFE Conference: “Researching Vulnerabilities from a Life Course Perspective”
(Lisbon on 13-14 November )
Short call:
The LIFE Conference aims to create a space for critical discussion of the challenges and opportunities of studying multiple vulnerabilities from different disciplines and using different methodologies. The LIFE conference aims to stimulate debate on conceptual approaches and methodological strategies for the in-depth study of vulnerability in different contexts. While several methods have been adopted to measure vulnerability, the subjective dimension of the concept and the emphasis on the agency of vulnerable groups have challenged conventional methodologies and called for innovative approaches. However, how to study vulnerability has been less discussed across the social sciences.
Visual, creative, sensory and participatory approaches could be strategically used to study vulnerability. This discussion is of paramount importance as we need to rethink and reinvent the methods we choose to increase the richness of the data we collect. We invite theoretical and empirical papers on conceptual and methodological approaches to vulnerability. Conceptual challenges to vulnerability research, empirical studies and especially methodological innovations are priorities.
Keynote speakers:
Ayo Wahlberg & Mario Cardano
