At the same time, there has been growing interest in anthropology for contemporary art that started from a problematisation of the different possible ways to communicate ethnographic findings and insights. This interest has been referred to as the <i class="">sensory turn</i> in anthropology and ethnographic research and is exemplified by anthropologists who are collaborating with artists, by artists who are creating projects generating anthropological insights, and by art projects that are produced as outcomes of ethnographic research.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" class=""> </span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" class="">We are very happy to announce that there will now be an <b class="">annual themed issue </b>that focuses on the ethnographic turn in art with a specific focus on practice-led research. We invite papers from artists, theorists, researchers and educators to engage critically with the ethnographic perspective in their work. Next to <b class="">full research papers</b> we also invite contributions that can serve as <b class="">vignettes </b>-<b class=""> </b>short statements and reflections by artists about their practice. Throughout the themed issues we approach ethnography from a thematic and/ or methodological perspective rather than looking for fixed categories for defining ‘ethnographic art’. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" class=""> </span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" class="">Our aim is to further the critical work on ethnography in relation to contemporary art by specifically looking at authorship, art practices and processes, thereby offering a bottom-up perspective from artists and researchers addressing the question if, why and how an ethnographic perspective is indeed at work. In these practices we are equally interested in to what extent contextualization is relevant when dealing with the display of alterity, diversity and outsiderness. The main focus is on discussions pertaining to the ethnographic turn but we also invite contributions that reflect on artistic practice-led research in a broader sense. The first themed issue is to be published in June 2016. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" class=""> </span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><b class=""><span lang="EN-US" class="">Submission guidelines:</span></b><span lang="EN-US" class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" class="">Deadline for abstracts: Please send your abstracts of 300 words by <b class="">March 14th 2015 </b>to <a href="mailto:Kris.Rutten@UGent.be" class="" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);">Kris.Rutten@UGent.be</a>. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" class="">Notification of selection of abstracts by <b class="">April 15th 2015.</b><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" class="">Deadline for article submission: based on the selection of the abstracts full papers will need to be submitted by <b class="">July 15th 2015</b>.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" class="">Information and instructions for authors: <a href="http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/RCRC" class="" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);">http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/RCRC</a> <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" class="">Further inquiries about the special issue: <a href="mailto:Kris.Rutten@UGent.be" class="" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);">Kris.Rutten@UGent.be</a> <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" class=""> </span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Alternatively, contact the <i class="">Critical Arts </i>editorial office at <span lang="EN-US" class=""><a href="mailto:criticalarts@ukzn.ac.za" class="" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);"><span lang="EN-ZA" class="">criticalarts@ukzn.ac.za</span></a> </span>or the editor-in-chief, Keyan Tomaselli at <span lang="EN-US" class=""><a href="mailto:tomasell@ukzn.ac.za" class="" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);"><span lang="EN-ZA" class="">tomasell@ukzn.ac.za</span></a></span><o:p class=""></o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><i class="">Critical Arts</i> Issues published before 2005 can be accessed at the following link:<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" class=""><a href="http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/africanjournals/" class="" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);"><span class="" style="color: rgb(0, 112, 192);">http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/africanjournals/</span></a> The Critical Arts Homepage can be accessed at:<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" class=""><a href="http://ccms.ukzn.ac.za/publications/critical-arts.aspx" class="" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);">http://ccms.ukzn.ac.za/publications/critical-arts.aspx</a> </span><o:p class=""></o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><div class="" style="text-align: left;"><font face="Calibri, sans-serif" size="3" class=""><br class=""></font></div><span lang="EN-US" class="" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><div class="" style="text-align: left;"><span class="" style="font-size: 12pt;">To access the previous issues of </span><i class="" style="font-size: 12pt;">Critical Arts</i><span class="" style="font-size: 12pt;"> that were guest edited by Kris Rutten together with An van.
