Call for Papers: 2013 BISA Annual Conference
Abstract submission deadline: November 27, 2012
Panel Title: Critical Engagement with Political Violence
The image of the scholar in the ivory tower not only divorces theory from practice, but may also privilege scholarship unconnected to the “real world” of political action. The purpose of this panel is bring together empirically focused scholars who are engaging with political violence through critical theory.
Ultimately, this panel would encourage a discussion that brings critical analysis down from the ivory tower and into the “real world”. Presentations that focus on lived experiences of political violence in contested geographies would be encouraged. To encourage critical engagement with political violence, presentations should be organised around the following sub-themes:
*Gender, Performance, and
Embodiment
*Performativity, Inclusion, and Exclusion
*Discourse, Security, and Vulnerability
*Diaspora, Boundaries, and “Flashpoints”
Please submit abstracts to Sobia Kaker ([log in to unmask]) or Megan O'Branski ([log in to unmask]) by November 27 2012. Abstracts should be no longer than 300 words in length. Please include your contact information and affiliation.
