TRASH postgraduate cultural studies conference at the University of Sussex, 14th September 2012
£10/£5 student
Conference Theme
Trash operates as a physical and symbolic manifestation of consumer society and its associated debris; it celebrates the filthy, excessive and grotesque; and it expresses how power communicates and classifies abject bodies. It not only describes the devaluation of trash culture, but it also refers to the material practices and processes through which we deal with ‘waste’ in all its forms. In this one day postgraduate conference we propose to rummage through the trash heap of history, art, media, culture, politics, and society in order to uncover new scholarly approaches and methods that continue to appropriate and recycle theories of trash. Papers will address themes of excess, filth and debris from a variety of scholarly approaches.
Guest Speaker: Dr Tracey Potts, University of Nottingham
