CALL FOR PAPER PROPOSALS
Never Waste a Crisis. Strategies of Representing and Managing Crisis after the Crash
1-2 November, 2012, Midland Hotel, Morecambe
Deadline for paper proposals: 17 June, 2012, to be sent to [log in to unmask]
Workshop organised by CPERC, Sociology Department, Lancaster University, within the frames of Bob Jessop's ESRC professorial fellowship and the project "Great Transformations. A Cultural Political Economy of Crisis Management"
The North Atlantic Financial Crisis that surfaced in 2007/08 and subsequent efforts at crisis management have produced unstable constellations. Whereas the financial sector has been rescued with large injections of capital but minor structural adjustments, the symptoms in many economies of “epic recession” and fiscal crisis remain. Among political and economic elites, such finance-centred crisis management remains largely unchallenged. At the same time, the economic and social costs of the austerity packages and of a finance-dominated economy more generally have spurred contestation from various quarters. The workshop on “Strategies of Representing and Managing Crisis after the Crash” seeks to explore the politics (broadly interpreted) of this constellation. Papers in the workshop will review different agents’ strategies of tackling the North Atlantic Financial Crisis through discursive construction, contestation, and policy-making. We encourage the submission of papers that highlight the discursive and semiotic of economic and political processes or that situate the analysis of crisis discourse in broader questions of political economy.
Speakers include so far: Colin Hay (tbc), David Howarth, Brigitte Young
Please find the full call attached.
