AILASA 2014 aims to track why and how debates around dissent from below have gained prominence in our various area studies. In addition, we are interested in the methodological and ideological implications that such theoretical perspectives might have. To this end, we invite scholars from the humanities, social sciences, arts and media to submit 200 word abstracts for individual presentations (20 minutes). Panel proposals are also very welcome. Time allotted per panel will be 90 minutes and proposals should specify the names of speakers and the chair where possible as well as include a brief abstract (200 words) per paper.In all cases, papers should be in English, Portuguese or Spanish, and should address either through theoretical or case studies discussion on the following themes within Latin America, Spain and Portugal:-Epistemologies of dissent-Dissent, cultures, and languages-Ethics, power, and knowledge: conceptualising dissent-Gender identities and dissent-Sexualities and dissent-Borders and dissent
