> Borders are strange places. On the one hand, they can act as visible proof

> and Afghans waiting today at Calais. But borders can also be privileged
> places of observation, allowing insights and observations into dominant
> cultures and structures.

> This interdisciplinary conference will explore the themes of the
> borders that surround France, and the borders - economic, social,
> cultural,
> sexual - that lie within France. It will evaluate how borders have been
> interpreted (by political scientists and sociologists) and represented (in
> film, literature and art). It will also consider the historic construction
> of borders through the rise and fall of paradigms and orthodoxies. Papers
> from post-graduates and `panel' applications from groups are welcome.
> Papers
> on all related topics will be considered, however, papers are particularly
> invited on the themes of:
>
> Regional identities
> Minorities
> Centrality and marginality
> `Distant France': the DOM-TOM
> Migration and return
> The Mediterranean and France
>
>
> The conference is normally bi-lingual (English / French).
>
> The conference will be held on 29 - 31 August, 2002, at the University of
> Glamorgan. The University is located in Pontypridd: the nearest train
> station is Treforest. It is 10 miles north of Cardiff, and approximately
> two
> and a half hours by rail from Paddington station in London. There are also
> good connections to Heathrow airport.
>
> Please send proposals for papers (150 - 250 words) by 31 January 2002, by
