Following what the conference theme calls a 'new form of identity and relatedness', this paper explores the creative responses of Globe Skeptics to the cosmological and futuristic imperatives embedded in UN's global agendas and plans.
Paper
Learning Music as a Game: Resisting the Creative and Socioeconomic Crisis in Brazil with Education and Invention

Paper
The Resonance of Gratitude in Creative Practice and the Spiritual Wisdom of Indigenous Ways of Knowing: a Call for an Enchanted Anthropology
I posit that gratitude generates a positive resonance according to many indigenous ways of knowing and that we should reject materialist concepts from Freudian, Darwinian and Marxian theories.
Paper
Understanding the Rise of the 21st Century ‘Flat Earth’ Movement From a Bundle of Popular Conspiracy Theories and Science Skepticism
This paper analyzes the rhetoric behind the rise of the Flat Earth movement online and the political tactics of its different proponents. Its key proponents argue against 'scientism' and propose an alternative view of the earth and universe aligned with indigenous and phenomenological cosmologies.
Paper
Decomposing as Recomposing: Stylistic Complementarity and Growth in Shetland
This paper disputes the notion that cultural dissolution comes from 'the outside', by showing how Shetland’s epistemological tradition of music making affords the incorporation and integration of outside musical influences and people to strengthen a sense of personal, social and cultural character.

Paper
A Brazilian in Shetland: a musical trajectory through an eclectic music-scene
This audiovisual presentation summarizes my creative trajectory as an ethnographer, performer, and eventually a video producer in the Shetland Isles, northern Scotland, where I have been residing since October 2012. It will showcase range of genres, venues, creative projects and interviews.
Paper
Cultural Collaboration in Shetland: coping with and transcending urban-rural radical differences
How do sociomusical experiences afford transcending barriers based on perceptions of ‘radical’ differences? I compare my experiences in two Shetland based projects, ‘Ignition’ and ‘Back from Beyond,’ to explore how urban attitudes about rural communities shape perceptions of cultural difference.
