University of Amsterdam – Amsterdam, The Netherlands

2022 – Amsterdam

Fractious Connections: Anarchy, Activism, Coordination, and Control

Annual meeting 9-11 July 2022 at the University of Amsterdam (this meeting is physical, *not* virtual)

Registration deadline: 1 June 2022

(Network R meeting 18-20 July – virtual)

Conference Theme Overview

Being “well connected” has traditionally been associated with having influential friends or relatives in “high places”. Privileged levels of social and economic capital differentiate them from the “poorly connected” in diverse, economically poor, but potentially socially rich communities. In the digital age, the implicitly positive association of being “well connected” implies being “plugged in”, “on the scene”, informed and involved with “what’s happening”.

However, a growing critique of being “over connected” or “disconnected” from mainstream economic and political life is forcefully apparent in the recent Ken Loach films: I, Daniel Blake and Sorry We Missed You. We are increasingly becoming aware of public, policy and academic debates about the “right to disconnect” or movements to increase “connectivity” for dislocated communities. But a closer examination of the concept of “connectedness” is needed to understand how strong and weak connections unfold at different levels and across different societies for disparate communities.

In “The Strength of Weak Ties” Granovetter wrote, “the personal experience of individuals is closely bound up with larger-scale aspects of social structure, well beyond the purview or control of particular individuals. Linkage of micro and macro levels is thus no luxury but of central importance to the development of sociological theory. Such linkages generate paradoxes: weak ties, often denounced as generative of alienation are here seen as indispensable to individuals’ opportunities and to their integration into communities; strong ties, breeding local cohesion, lead to overall fragmentation. Paradoxes are a welcome antidote to theories which explain everything all too neatly.” (1973:1377-8).

The paradoxical experience of connectedness has been poignantly evident on political stages around the world. The heated, and deadly, debates surrounding Brexit, Black Lives Matters and the storming of the US Capitol in 2021 illustrate the very fractious climate where these connections are being vociferously, and sometimes violently, contested.

The overarching theme of the SASE 2022 conference will be to explore the paradox of Fractious Connections. This will be done through the lens of four key concepts that have received varying degrees of attention in comparative political economy: Anarchism, Activism, Coordination, and Control.

The concept of Coordination in comparative political economy has received considerable attention in relation to debates around the Varieties of Capitalism. But has digital disruption undermined this coordination?

The concept of Control has been used to understand the labor process; but how is this evolving in relation to digital surveillance at work and in politics?

The concepts of Anarchy and Activism have, relatively speaking, received much less attention within the SASE community.

Activism is frequently discussed within an Industrial Relations framework. While traditional male, manufacturing union membership has declined; a plethora of new forms of organizing for an emergent “gig” workforce has included the voices of younger, female, and ethnically diverse communities. We need to know more about these developments evolving outside established organizations.

Anarchy is not often discussed in comparative political economy, although there is a vibrant discourse in international relations (Hedley Bull 1977), and in the work of Chomsky (1994). Understanding how disruptive digital practices have emerged anarchically exposes new structures and organization of power, opportunity, and oppression.

Re-examining these concepts and developments relates back to the work of Granovetter in connecting the individual experiences with global societal structures to understand the paradoxical way fractious connections are evolving.

While these concepts will inform the overall theme of the 34th SASE annual conference, a wide range of contributions are encouraged to participate in one of the 18 vibrant networks, or submit proposals to host a mini-conference.

SASE provides a platform for creative empirical and theoretical research on key social problems. We are committed to supporting a diverse international membership encouraging lively intellectual and interdisciplinary debates. So whether you are new to SASE, or a seasoned aficionado, we look forward to seeing you in Amsterdam!

Mini-conferences consist of 3 to 5 panels, which will be featured as a separate stream in the program. Submissions are open to all scholars on the basis of an extended abstract. If your abstract is accepted, the following mini-conferences require accepted participants to submit full papers by 15 June 2022: TH01 (max 9,000 words), TH02, TH03, TH06, TH10, TH11, TH12, TH13, and TH14. THO8 encourages but does not require a full paper submission (6,000 words). If a paper proposal cannot be accommodated within a mini-conference, organizers will forward it to the most appropriate research network as a regular submission.

Please note that TH07 is no longer included in the list of mini-conferences because it has joined with TH14.

Registration will be in the hallway of Building A on the Roeterseiland campus of the UvA (a map to find us is here – follow the green arrow on the meeting areas map – follow the signs and you’ll find us). Address: Nieuwe Achtergracht 166, Amsterdam.

Registration will open on the day before the conference, Friday July 8, from 2-7pm.

On Saturday July 9th we will be there starting at 7:30am (with coffee!), and then for the duration of the conference.

At registration, you will receive a reusable water bottle – there are water bottle filling stations all over the UvA campus.

Please note: there will be an information desk at Hotel CASA, but you will not be able to pick up your badge there. For those who are starting on Saturday morning at Hotel CASA (this applies to Networks B, D, F, H, N; Mini-conferences TH01, TH02, TH10, TH11), we’d recommend you come see us on Friday.

If you don’t manage to pick up your badge before your first session, don’t worry! Come see us when you can. 

PRESENTATIONS
Generally speaking, if you have 4 presenters in your session, aim for a presentation of 12-15 minutes to leave time for discussion; with 5 presenters, aim for 8-10 minutes. For more specific instructions, best is to contact the organizers of your network/mini-conference, and/or the moderator of your session.

 

TECH & A/V

  • If you have a mac, bring an adapter.
  • At the UvA, there will be desktop computers available in every room. You can therefore use your own laptop to connect to the projector (VGA and HDMI cables), or bring your presentation on a USB and use the desktop.
  • At Hotel Casa, desktop computers are not available. You’ll need a laptop or a smartphone to connect with the projector (VGA and HDMI cables).

WiFi

  • At the UvA, Eduroam is available, as is the wireless network UvA Open. Connect and go to your browser, a page will open where you will have to agree with the UvA Terms. Then you’ll be connected.
  • At Hotel Casa, the WiFi is free. You can connect to Casa Hotel WiFi and no password is needed.

LUNCHES
If you purchased lunch for Saturday and Monday, please note that this will be served near the registration table in the atrium at the UvA. Your name badge will have an ‘L’ on it if you purchased lunch (you cannot purchase lunch from the caterer on site – but there are plenty of restaurants around the campus). Unclaimed lunches will be left out at the afternoon break and anyone can have them at that point!

Lunch on Sunday is free and open to all conference participants. If your sessions are at the Hotel CASA on Sunday morning, please also have lunch at the Hotel CASA. If your sessions are at the UvA Sunday morning, please stay there for your lunch – served in the atrium near registration.

There will be 3 spaces set aside for organized lunches on Sunday: Network G’s lunches will be available at their lunch location, and TH4 and TH11 will have a joint lunch – those lunches will be available at their lunch location, and the Women and Gender Forum will pick up their lunches at their lunch location – see the program for these locations.

Lunches are brown bag – with 2 sandwiches and a piece of fruit, everything vegan. All packaging is biodegradable – trash should go unsorted into the bins provided.

WELCOME RECEPTION
The welcome reception is on Saturday 9 July from 18:15 to 19:15, and will be in both conference locations – we would ask that if your sessions are in the Hotel CASA, you stay there for the welcome reception; if sessions are at the UvA, please attend the welcome reception there. 

SOCIAL MEDIA
Feel free to tag #SASE2022 if you want to tweet about the conference! 

COVID
Amsterdam currently has no Covid restrictions in place. You are encouraged to socialize outdoors (during breaks and the welcome reception), and you may of course wear a mask during sessions. Your choice will be respected. Don’t assume that people will want to shake hands – default will be the elbow/fist bump.

HELP
For technical help in the rooms at the UvA, a number will be available and posted – call that number and someone will come help you. You can always come to registration if you need something, or to the information desk at the Hotel CASA. And if you want to send us an email, you can write to help@sase.org.

LUGGAGE STORAGE
We will not have luggage storage available on campus, nor at the conference dinner location (they converted the coatroom into a bar for us!). All hotels provide luggage storage services, including Hotel CASA, and you will have time before the conference dinner to go back to your hotel.

 

CONFERENCE DINNER
The conference dinner location is an outdoor space, and we will have a bouncy castle there – it’s intended for kids (they are very welcome at the dinner!), but anyone who needs some jump time after a long day of conferencing is welcome to have a go. 😉

If you purchased a ticket to the dinner, you will have a ‘D’ on your badge. We are at capacity at the venue, and unfortunately cannot sell further tickets for the dinner.

There will be SASE volunteers to help guide you to the dinner location, the address and instructions to get there can be found here. The dinner menu is primarily vegan/vegetarian, with limited meat options.

SCHIPHOL AIRPORT
Things have been very busy at Schiphol recently (staff shortages).
There is special guidance from the airport, including that people should be there early, but not too early. See here: https://www.schiphol.nl/en/messages/flying-soon-come-to-the-airport-max-4-hours-before-your
That also includes indications about when things might be particularly busy (including our last conference day).
