This is borderline-relevant, but questions of origins and originality could
be pertinent to our discussions

Subject: CFP: 'Origins' and 'Originality' in the Arts (6/30/05; e-journal
issue)
FORUM is a new postgraduate online arts journal based at the University of
Edinburgh. Each edition will set out to explore a theme from as many
different
perspectives as possible: submissions from all fields within the arts and
humanities are warmly welcomed.
¡¥Origins and Originality¡¦
Our inaugural issue will address the twin themes of origins and originality
in
literature, philosophy, art and music. Is it still possible to talk of
origins
in our post-colonial world of globalization and nomadic wandering? Can one
be
original? What constitutes originality in the arts? How are themes
relating
to origins and originality approached and navigated by different media in
different communities? How do these media respond to or present ideas of
origins and originality? How do these concepts within the arts interact
with
the related concepts of politics, history, memory and power? How do
notions
of origin influence the construction of the subject, and how do they
interact
with notions such as community, ethnicity or gender? How do concepts of
originality and repetition affect artistic and literary production?
Possible areas for discussion are (but are not limited to):
„X Post-colonial identity
„X The Death of the Author/ Subject and The Text
„X Construction of the Subject
„X The End of History
„X Performance and authenticity
„X Memory and Time
„X Culture and Roots
„X Community and Belonging
„X Repetition, Context and Authenticity
„X Receptions of the New
Deadline for article submission is June 30, 2005
