As tourism research spreads into the social sciences, this Conference will tackle one of the central ontological and phenomenological premises of tourism, the fascination with the idea of 'Others'. This Conference will explore the seductive powers underlying this immersion of Self in the Other and the forms of social life and exchange its shapes at different scales of social life. It will bring together around 200 academics from more than 30 countries presenting 150 papers during four days. It also includes a film festival, various study tours, an ‘intergenerational’ networking event and a book fair

The philosophy of this event and of the network of researchers who have been organising it is to be open and accessible. For that reason, the registration fees were fixed at a strict cover-cost basis and include all lunches, coffee breaks and a dinner.

The conference is being organised by CRIA (Centre for Research in Anthropology) which comprises over 200 researchers, including both Portuguese and international scholars.

We have a large range of panels and workshops, covering a wide variety of topics within the main theme of the congress, “People make places: ways of feeling the world“, and the three sub-themes: “Shaping lives”; “Creativity and emotions”; and “Ecology and ethics“.  Before making your proposal, please read the descriptions of the theme and sub-themes, and then browse the panels/workshops to find a suitable home for your work.

• You will be asked to provide a short abstract (no more than 300 characters, including spaces) and a long abstract (no more than 250 words); you can indicate co-authors, giving their email addresses; and you can request specific audio-visual technology for your presentation.
• Each panel/workshop page shows a title and abstract and the names of its convenors. It does not show convenor email addresses, for anti-spam reasons. If you wish to contact the convenors directly, click on the email links to use an in-built email messaging system. If you cannot work that, please email congress(at)siefhome.org to obtain relevant email addresses.
• Panel/workshop convenors have been asked to make their decisions over which papers to accept by 15 November. They will email you. Accepted abstracts will then show on the panel/workshop page.

All presenters must be members of SIEF, and have paid their subscription (€20) for 2011 before the conference. However, you may propose a paper before joining.
