Organised by the English Culture Studies Group, with the support of the
Dept of English and the Centre for English Studies.

Call for papers
Session theme: Culture and Nation as lived contexts of power -- the
perspective of class
Session organiser: Alvaro Pina
[log in to unmask]
The purpose of this session is to (re)examine Culture, Nation and the
complex relations between them as class practices in lived contexts of
power. Papers are welcome which focus on, for instance, the roles of
culture in nation formation, the roles of nation-building in the
constitution of culture both as national and as a mediation apparatus, how
cultural practices have constituted the national subject and the
nation-people, how working-class formations and projects have re-defined
culture and nation for democratic purposes, how democratic citizenship
theories and practices have challenged the modern construction of culture
and nation, the role of class as concept and practice in the study of
culture and nation in late modernity and of globalisation.
250/300-word abstracts should be e-mailed to the session organiser.
Submission deadline: June 30, 2000.
The Conference registration form will be published soon.
