In addition to conventional academic papers, the symposium also welcomes non-paper submissions that engage with the theme Pluriversal Futures in a Multipolarising World: Global South Perspectives. Scholars, researchers, artists, filmmakers, and practitioners are invited to present their work in alternative formats that explore anthropological ideas and ethnographic insights beyond the traditional written paper.
Submissions may take the form of books, exhibitions, or films that address issues relevant to the symposium theme, including cultural transformations, indigenous knowledge, ecological relations, social movements, or alternative imaginaries of the future emerging from the Global South. These formats provide important ways of communicating anthropological knowledge by engaging visual, narrative, and material dimensions of social life, allowing audiences to experience ethnographic realities through multiple sensory and interpretive perspectives.
All non-paper submissions will also undergo a review process by the symposium’s academic committee to ensure their relevance to the symposium theme and their contribution to scholarly dialogue. By opening space for non-paper contributions, the symposium aims to encourage multimodal and interdisciplinary forms of knowledge production, highlighting how anthropological research can circulate not only through academic texts but also through visual media, artistic practices, and public scholarship. These alternative modes of presentation enrich the symposium and bring diverse voices and creative practices into conversations about pluriversal futures in a rapidly changing world.
