 Patricia Paul is pleased to announce she is once again working with Brasilian anthropologist, Adolfo de Oliveria, PhD, as co-convenors of a symposium for the International Congress of the Americanists (ICA).  First working together in 2003, at an ICA hosted in Santiago, Chile, Patricia and Adolfo continue their dialogue in the Americas! 
 
Patricia has been working in the Americas (North, Central and South America) since the 1990s.  Patricia's work includes lectures as a visiting professor at the Universidade de Brasilia (1999) and panel speaker for the Reunião Equatorial de Antropologia e X Reunião de Antropólogos Norte-Nordeste, que será realizada na cidade de Aracaju/SE, na Universidade Federal de Sergipe, Brazil (2007).

The International Congress of Americanists is a scientific activity of a long tradition. The first Congress was held in the city of Nancy in France, in August 25 of 1875, called by the Société Américaine de France and they have met without interruption since then. Its immediate goal: “contribuer au progrès des études ethnographiques, linguistiques et historiques relatives aux deux Amériques, spécialement pour les temps antérieurs à Christophe Colomb, et de mettre en rapport les personnes qui s'intéressent à ces études”.

During the ten first versions of the International Congress of Americanists, the seat was in Europe. The first Congress in America was held in Mexico, in 1895. Since then, it has been tried to alternate the seat between the old and new world.

Along the time, the Congresses increased the number of subjects studied and nowadays they gather specialists in Anthropolgy, Archaeology, Art, Law, Economy, Education, Philosophy, Geography, History, Linguistics, Sociology, Urban Studies, Human Rights and other technological areas.

Today the International Congress of Americanists (ICA) meets every three years and is attended by a high number of participants in a wide variety of scientific activities: simposia, conferences, meetings of international associations and organizations related to american studies, etc.

939 - Transformative Cultures

Convener: Paul Patricia
Co-Convener: de Oliveira, Adolfo (social anthropology University of Santa Cruz, Ilhéus, Brazil / Brasilien)

Building dialogues in the Americas, this symposia encourages trans-disciplinary dialogues in transformative cultures. Recognizing the value of traditional knowledge embedded within indigenous cultures of the Americas, the transcultural processes, linked with cultural identities, build a framework of ongoing innovation and distinctive intellectual creative life that benefits all humanity. Respecting the traditional knowledge systems, that have historical and cultural significance, cultural identity transforms into a global modernity that alters the boundary of identities. The rights of indigenous peoples of Brazil, for example, over their traditional knowledge are considered to be inalienable, imprescriptible and unrenounceable prior rights. A transformative culture through encroachment to lands, political influences, global economics, environmental influences, and changes in the use of languages, are expressed through the claims of indigenous peoples globally rooted in a cosmological order. The view of the ‘sacred’, that which cannot be taken away, infuses a moral purpose in transformative experiences. The life worlds and cultures of the indigenous peoples of the Americas will be analyzed as people in changing and shifting contexts. The collective knowledge of indigenous identity stretches, bursts, becomes quiet; as new generations meld influences of construction and deconstruction. The public management debate to assist in the transference of knowledge and replication of successful experiences contributes to the transformation of indigenous societies. The transformative process leads to change in action. Discoveries, developments, and inventions become transformative tools of expression.
