CALL for PAPERS
From Rachel Shapiro and Anna Porubcansky (see below)
Appropriating Space
An Interdisciplinary Colloquium for Postgraduate Students
22-23 February 2008
Goldsmiths, University of London
From gaming halls to ghost towns, wailing walls to waterholes,
social spaces are shaped by the people who inhabit them.
Appropriating Space is a student-led colloquium for postgraduates
that will explore the many ways in which social and spatial identity
are intertwined.
This call for papers invites students to examine the construction of
space from many perspectives, identifying the various ways in which
diverse groups shape and inscribe social space. The idea of social
space can include (but is not limited to): professional environments,
collectivities and communes, national and local territories,
political imperatives, alternative spaces, performance spaces and
theatres, marketplaces, pubs, art galleries and museums, annexed
spaces, sacred or spiritual spaces or domestic contexts; the
problematics of space and the mechanisms of globalisation.
Organised by the Sociology of Theatre and Performance Research Group
at Goldsmiths (led by Professor Maria Shevtsova), this event will
provide an opportunity for postgraduates in all fields across the UK
to engage with their peers across disciplines in a challenging and
convivial environment. In addition to showcasing their own research
through the presentation of conference papers, students will be able
to participate in several roundtable discussions and panel sessions
over the course of the colloquium. This is a unique opportunity for
postgraduates across the country to meet, network and exchange ideas
in a truly interdisciplinary context.
We welcome submissions from postgraduate research students. If you
would like to participate, please submit your name, university,
conference paper title or title of practical workshop and 250-word
abstract to [log in to unmask] Deadline for applications
is 31 December 2007.
Please don't hesitate to contact us with any queries you may have
regarding the colloquium.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely,
