 sp\;presentsLuisa Cortesi\, Taylor Stanford Postdoctoral Fellow in STS and
  Anthropology\, Cornell UniversityWater and Land: Words that Contain World
 sHow do people who live in the midst of floods think about water? Informed
  by multidisciplinary long-term ethnographic fieldwork\, this presentation
  presents ethnographic evidence that\, in North Bihar\, land and water are
  though of as in intimate correspondence with each other. By virtue of com
 parison\, then\, the ethnographic encounter is held to defy other ontologi
 es of water that see the two substances as in opposition. Since ontologies
  of natural substances are often “watertight”\, mutually exclusive and una
 ble to adapt\, this presentation suggests\, their encounter may result in 
 semiotic conflict.&nbsp\;This talk is part of the Sustainable South Asia I
 nitiative. It is co-sponsored by the Central New York Humanities Corridor 
 from an award by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.Please contact Emera Brid
 ger Wilson at elbridge@syr.edu for any questions or concerns.&nbsp\;
