INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR
“POST-STRUCTURALIST PERSPECTIVES ON SOCIAL INCLUSION”
Call for Papers
The Research Group on Post-Structuralism, Politics and Identity Construction (UFPE/Fundaj/UFPB/UFAL) (Brazil) invites submissions for participation in the International Seminar “Social Inclusion and Post-Structuralist Perspectives in Social Analysis” to be held in Recife-PE, Brazil between the 28th and 30th of June 2005.
The objective of the seminar is to discuss the theme of social inclusion and, by drawing upon the theoretical contribution, methodologies and practices of post-structuralist (and other “post”) approaches of social analysis, to amplify the horizons of the relationship between the state and civil society. The emphasis of discussion, beyond the necessary debate about ideas, is to identify leads for a renewal of the struggle against exclusion, to broaden radical and plural democracy and to strengthen a citizenship which combines adequately the demands for equality with the affirmation of difference.
Paper proposals can be submitted and delivered in Portuguese, Spanish and English, with preference given to oral presentation in the former two. There is no provision for funding of participants in Work Groups. However registration will be communicated with sufficient anticipation to facilitate those wishing to apply for financial assistance elsewhere. Submission of proposals should be made by e-mail, directly to coordinators (see list below), and has been extended to 4 March 2005. Information required for submission: name of candidate, institution, position/function, e-mail, telephone and postal address, title and abstract of presentation (15 lines or 200 words), in either Portuguese, Spanish or English..
