> expanding field of analysis across philosophy, anthropology, sociology,
> cultural and media studies, literary studies, film studies, gender
> studies, organisational studies, geography, history, political science,
> and economics. Each of these disciplines has contributed to the study
> of

>
> for its analysis. What does it mean to study culture in this
> multi-disciplinary envi This conference aims to bring together
> researchers
> from a wide range of backgrounds to discuss the present and future
> directions of cultural analysis. We welcome papers that explore the
> following questions either from an epistemological perspective or
> through
> current research:

> Are disciplinary boundaries useful when studying culture?
> Are we asking the right questions?
> What are the politics of studying culture?
> What is at stake in the funding of cultural research?
> Text/audience/institutions: what do we mean by ?edia culture'?
> What ever happened to political economy?
> Do new methods follow from new technologies?
> Are we living in a global culture?
