The co nference seeks to engage and support graduate scholarship from Canada and abroad.\n\nKeynote Speakers include Liliana Leopardi and Aliza Shvarts. In addition there will be a discussion with Tanya Tagaq on Sunday afternoon at La Sala Rosa held in partnership with the IPLAI and IGSF centers.\n\nTh e aim of this symposium is to examine the ways in which magic\, in any inc arnation\, is used as both a transformative element to inspire civil actio n as well a communicative channel for intersubjective relations. The sympo sium seeks to trace magic’s communicative capacities through material cult ure\n\nThe scope in which magic interacts and/or informs scholarship is br oad and we hope for the conference to capture a snapshot of the ways in wh ich magic affects material culture. The symposium will examine the roles i n which magic or the mystic has played and generate a productive dialogue around such topics as alchemy\, the occult\, esoteric\, rituals\, science\ , early technology\, spiritualism\, etc.\n\n\n Friday\n Panels 1-2 (9:00-3:3 0 PM) \n Location: Thompson House Ballroom\n 3650 Rue McTavish\, Montréal\, Québec\n Keynote Address: Aliza Shvarts (4:00-5:30 PM)\n Location: Leacock 2 6 (Wheelchair accessible)\n 855 Rue Sherbrooke Ouest\, Montréal\, Québec\n \nSaturday\n Panels 3-5 (9:00-4:30 PM)\n Location: Leacock 26\n Keynote Addre ss: Liliana Leopardi (5:00-6:30 PM)\n Location: Leacock 26\n Conference Rece ption: TBA\n\nSunday\n Discussion with Tanya Tagaq (TBA)\n Hosted by IPLAI C enter and the IGSF at McGill\n Location: La Sala Rosa\n 4848 Boul St-Laurent \, Montréal\, Québec\n  \n\nFor full conference schedule\, presentation abs tracts\, adjunct events and updates\, please visit our website: http://ahc spgss.wix.com/mcgill#!2016-symposium/e55d2\n\nJoin us on Facebook: http:// facebook.com/events/1501236983527343/\n\nFollow us on Twitter: @AHCSGSA\n \nFor more information and to RSVP\, please contact: ahcs.pgss [at] mail.m cgill.ca\n\n \n\nAHCS Conference Organizing Committee:\n\nAyanna Dozier (C ommunication Studies)---Conference Chair\n\nAnastasia Howe Bukowski (Art H istory)\n\nSofia Misenheimer (Communication Studies)\n DTSTART:20160219T140000Z DTEND:20160220T220000Z SUMMARY:Magic: Between Embodiment and Ontology | An Emerging Scholars and F aculty Symposium URL:/ahcs/channels/event/magic-between-embodiment-and- ontology-emerging-scholars-and-faculty-symposium-257598 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
