29th Visual Research Conference (VRC) Monday 18 November 2013, 7:00pm: Informal no-­‐host dinner. Presenters and Visual Research Conference participants are encouraged to attend (please meet near the Chicago Hilton’s registration desk at 7:00pm). VRC Conference Times & Location Tuesday 19 November 2013, 9:00am-­‐6:00pm Wednesday 20 November 2013, 9:00am-­‐3:00pm Location: Chicago Hilton—PDR 4 Conference Room The SVA Visual Research Conference takes place two days prior to the official start of the AAA Annual Meetings and provides a collegial environment for the presentation of works-­‐in-­‐progress. This Conference especially emphasizes much interaction among the presenters and an "actively participating audience", and anyone interested is welcome to attend. Sessions are allotted approximately forty-­‐five minutes for several scheduled presentations and discussions, thus facilitating real engagement between the audience and the researcher(s). 2013 Installations Installations are a remix and rebirth of "Inno-­‐Vents" and "Salons" introduced to the AAA Annual Meetings program in recent years. These events are organized off-­‐site to the AAA main meetings and invite anthropological knowledge off the beaten path of the written conference paper. Include performances, recitals, exhibitions, conversations, author-­‐meets-­‐critic roundtables, salon readings & workshops, oral history recording sessions, and other alternative, creative forms of intellectual expression. SVA Film and Media Festival The SVA Film, Video, and Interactive Media Festival brings together leading short works (under 15 minutes), full-­‐length ethnographic films, and interactive media. Screenings are accompanied when possible by Q&A sessions with film directors and leading scholars in the field. Awards will be given to the best works in a number of categories, including student films and short films during the Society for Visual Anthropology Award Ceremony & Reception on Saturday, November 23, 2013. *2013 Society for Visual Anthropology Award Winners On electronic versions of this guide, please click to access the AAA preliminary program online for further details.
