*"Distance & Proximity" Conference - June 26th & 27th, 2014*
*The dynamics of relation are central to interdisciplinary study in the
Arts and Humanities. The relational dyad of distance and proximity provides
us with a rich set of spatial, affective, theoretical, and historical
relations in which we can explore the dynamics that run throughout the
fabric of our own cultural inquiry. Moreover, navigating the distances
between disciplines enables the preservation and affirmation of the
significance of ?difference?, cultural, sexual, artistic, conceptual and/or
otherwise.In an interdisciplinary academic environment, the negotiations
and procedures involved in an exploration of distances and proximities
enable us to recalibrate the relations between disciplines and
methodologies, without effacing the differences which define them. This
year's Interdisciplinary Postgraduate Conference proposes to examine these
notions from a variety of perspectives and welcomes participants and
attendees from all disciplinary and trans-disciplinary backgrounds. Keynote
lectures will be delivered by Professor Andy Leak, Professor of French,
University College London & Dr Rosa Mucignat, Lecturer in Comparative
Literature, King's College London *

We hope to see many of you in June.
All the very best,
The Society for Comparative Cultural Inquiry
