The anxiety is sometimes reflected in the view that irrational external forces have turned against ordered political, economic, cultural and moral landscapes. What are the multiple readings of crisis and its outcomes in the many settings, societies, and historical periods studied by anthropologists and other scholars? How is crisis represented in the various genres and media of discourse? What does an ethnological framework offer in the way of conceptualizations, definitions, descriptions and analyses of crisis and its experiences, expressions and manifestations? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman";">The 2004 meeting of the American Ethnological Society welcomes abstracts for individual papers, panels, and media presentations focused on the theme of crisis.
