The annual Finnish Anthropology Conference, hosted by the Finnish Anthropological Society, is being held in Helsinki, May 11th-12th 2010, and proposals for individual papers are now being invited. The principal theme of the conference – Ideas of Value – introduces a notion which has been employed in anthropology and related disciplines to illuminate economic, ethical, linguistic, aesthetic, and political aspects of the human experience. More recently, anthropologists have become interested in the linkages between different sets of values. These discussions, about ethical and economic value, for example, have sought to discover what seemingly opposite notions of value could have in common. Consequently, value is studied by moving through different spheres and categories of culture and society.
