Society for Cultural Anthropology
The Gregory Bateson Book Prize
The Society for Cultural Anthropology is pleased to announce the second edition of the Gregory Bateson Prize.
Among anthropology’s most distinguished experimental thinkers, Gregory Bateson (1904-1980) and his diverse body of work have long been emblematic of what the SCA was founded to promote: rich ethnographic analysis that engages the most current thinking across the arts and sciences. Welcoming a wide range of styles and argument, the Bateson Prize looks to reward work that is theoretically rich, ethnographically grounded, and in the spirit of the tradition for which the SCA has been known—interdisciplinary, experimental, and innovative.
The Bateson Prize is awarded annually at the meetings of the American Anthropological Association and carries a honorarium of $1000.
The 2010 Bateson Prize Committee will consider books that privilege ethnographic analysis and anthropological thought from any disciplinary tradition. Books under consideration for the 2010 Prize must carry a copyright date of 2009; edited volumes and translations will not be considered.
The deadline of receipt for submissions is May 1, 2010. To submit an entry, please send one copy directly to each of this year's three Bateson Committee members:
