>>CALL FOR PAPERS
>>
>>Social History Society
>>
>>28th Annual Conference,  3 - 5 January 2003, Leicester
>>
>>
>>'PLAY'
>>
>>This conference aims to provide a challenge to explore various
>possible
>interpretations of this theme, which has therefore been left
>unqualified,
>and to provide potential for wide-ranging discussions linking concepts
>cultural and practical related to play in all its aspects.  It is
>hoped to
>>attract proposals from a wide range of scholars, including those with
>backgrounds in cultural studies, history of art and the visual arts,
>literary studies, anthropology and sociology.  It is hoped the
>conference
>will, as has become usual for Social History Society conferences,
>provide an
>>opportunity to draw together historians and other scholars to examine
>methodological issues as well as particular case studies and
>narratives
>examining different comprehensions of 'Play'.  The conference will
>take
>place at Leicester University, and sponsored in particular by the Marc
>Fitch
>>Historical Institute.  Proposals are thus invited debating aspects of
>definitions, issues of links between different
>>concepts, and interpretations ranging across societies, cultures,
>geographical locations and period
>>s.  Themes might include, but are not limited to:
>>
>>Play - game-playing and role-playing;
>>Sport - fair and foul play
>>Play as drama - theatre, performance and display
>>Child's Play;
>>Deep Play - gambling and the rules of play
>>Cultures of Playing - Play and its purposes
>>Gender and playfulness;
>>Play and its regulation and management
>>Play and the rule-makers;
>>Play - place and locations
>>Play and censorship - including the role of the law
>>Play accessories - Play and technology
>>The Economics of Play, Plays and Playing
>>Play and Players - from actors to children
>>Play - Media and Publicity;
>>Play and Time, including seasonality
>>
>>Proposals are invited for papers in any historical context, period or
>culture, consisting of title
>>and abstract (around 350 words and no more than a side of A4).
>Proposals
>from postgraduate student
>>s are particularly welcomed.  Submission of sessions or panels of
>three
>related papers (plus chair,
>> if liked) are encouraged, and especially those for panels which
>would
>signal engagement between hi
>>storians working on discrete historical periods, or for panels
>exploring
>links between history and
>>other disciplines.  Abstracts to:  Administrative Secretary, SHS,
>Furness
>College, Bailrigg, Lancas
>>ter, LA1 4YG (tel:  01524-592605; Fax:  01524-846102; Email:
