Description
SALSA's conferences are the preeminent locus for the exchange of research, ideas, and information among scholars interested in lowland South America, its past and contemporary peoples, cultures, economies, and environments.

Presentation Formats

Individual presentations. There will be sixteen 40-minute slots for individual presentations of recent research findings and discussion. The purpose of the extended time period is to provide time for ample discussion, or for more creative presentations. We hope presenters will benefit from feedback from our members, with their diverse perspectives and experience.

Discussion forums. Several "Forum Sessions" will be devoted to discussion of presenters' short papers (3-7 pages).

To submit a paper to a forum, please provide a brief (100 word) description of the paper you would prepare for the panel you wish to participate in. Individual papers and thematic matter will benefit from ample discussion and exchange of ideas. Forum themes are:
  1. Body, soul, state, and world market: integrating levels of analysis in greater Amazonia;
  2. Redefining language group and culture area: understanding the past and present of lowland South America;
  3. From domestication and landscapes to perspectivism and consubstantiality: rethinking the relationships between the human and nonhuman in Amazonian studies;
  4. Disconnecting/Reconnecting the lowlands and the highlands: rethinking a geographic and analytical distinction.
Keywords: Amazon | South America | Latin America
