transgressions
22nd February 2008 University of Greenwich

research and the danger of the institutionalisation
of trouble-making.

Trouble-Makers : Interventions in Cultural Studies
This session will explore the topic of troublemaking
and its reciprocal relationship with Cultural Studies,
thus positioning it as the academic discipline which
insists on the conceptualisation of culture as the
field of interaction of power and resistance. Moving
back and forth between theorizing and researching,
between ontological and
critical hermeneutics the conference seeks to
investigate the potential of Cultural Studies as a
troublemaking discipline which can provide a new
vocabulary for social research and a constant
challenge to more traditional disciplines along with
the danger of the institutionalisation of
troublemaking.
Key Note Speakers :
Professor Gary Hall, co-editor Culture Machine,
Coventry University
Professor John Hutnyk, Goldsmiths
Paul Filmer, Goldsmiths
