The Department of English at the State University of New York at Albany
invites one page abstracts for our first annual Graduate Student Conference:
"Carto-Graphics: Bodies of Production, Migration, and Subjectivity." We
welcome papers from all intellectual perspectives and traditions, and
encourage participants to consider the trans-disciplinary and extra-academic
dimensions of the conference theme. "Carto-Graphics" arises as a means to
address issues of mapping, representation, and the discursive production of
cultural bodies and spaces. We hope to further examine the plurality of
contexts in which these artifacts--virtual, technical, biological--assume
(and presume) intelligibility.
Possible conference topics are:
* Poetics, Place, and Praxis
* Displacement and Identity in Contemporary Culture
* Expatriates, Exiles, and "Other Communities"
* Creative Geographies/Geography & Literature
* Global Economies, New Industries, Class
* Textual Production and the Future of the Subject
* Space and Meaning in Contemporary Theory
* Cognitive Mapping and Cultural Identities
* Charting Virtual Terrains
* Visual Culture and Nontextual Media
* Travel, Tourism, and Sustainability
* Bio-logics, Ecology, and Cultures of Production
* Dis-ease, Trauma, and Becoming-Cyborg
Deadline for Submissions is February 15, 2000
Please send one page abstracts for panel presentations to:
