Dear All,
Could you please disseminate this call for papers for the Revolution &
Evolution BCLA Graduate Conference organised by postgraduate students
at the University of Essex? It would be extremely useful if you could
share the cfp amongst your academic contacts and students, in this
country and abroad. This is an interdisciplinary event aimed at MA and
PhD students and we warmly encourage applications from all Humanities
subjects. I have also attached a poster. If you are interested, we
could also send it to you in hardcopy.
Revolution & Evolution
A Postgraduate Conference, 10th-11th July 2014, University of Essex, UK
The University of Essex and the British Comparative Literature
Association invite postgraduates to submit abstracts for an
interdisciplinary conference. We welcome proposals from students in
the Humanities, including Literature, Film, Theatre Studies and
Creative Writing. We seek papers exploring revolution and evolution in
disciplines ranging from gender studies and cultural geography to
myth, folklore studies and nature writing.
Possible topics may include:
§ Development, progression, transformation and expansion of cultural
tropes and motifs
§ Evolution of theory and critical thinking
§ Revolutions and challenges of theory
§ Transfiguration of anarchy, rebellion and insurgency
§ Metamorphosis of place, space, and time
§ Transgression and vice
§ Psychogeography
Special Strand: The Student Movement: 1968
This conference includes a special strand celebrating the 50th
anniversary of the university. We will be screening Jean-Luc Godard?s
British Sounds (1969), which was filmed at The University of Essex in
1968. In addition we will offer a poetry reading inspired by the theme.
Keynote Speakers: Peter Hulme (University of Essex, UK)

We welcome proposals on all aspects of revolution and evolution,
understood as the evolution of texts, genres, theories, languages and
beings across space and time, preceded or followed by revolutionary or
reactionary agents and actions.
Deadline for submission of proposals for individual / collaborative
papers or panels: 1 March 2014
