Fifth International English Culture Conference Conference theme: Culture and Freedom Lisbon, 28-29-30.Nov.2001 Conference Venue: Faculty of Letters, University of Lisbon Confirmed Keynote Speakers: Chris Weedon Ruth Levitas Glenn Jordan Second Call for Papers Organised by the English Culture Studies Group, with the support of the Department of English of the Faculty of Letters, University of Lisbon, and the University of Lisbon Centre for English Studies, the Fifth International English Culture Conference has for its theme Culture and Freedom. By proposing this theme, the organisers want to review, study and interrogate ways of thinking about culture and freedom, as well as practices and struggles, movements and formations, institutions and projects, in the historical development of modern societies, which have revealed and problematised -- or may give occasion to reveal and problematise -- assumptions, beliefs and theories about the relation between culture and freedom. The organisers invite papers from a wide range of disciplines, fields and intellectual practices which will explore questions relevant for, or significantly related to, the theme of the Conference. Two sessions and one roundtable/workshop are being organised that will provide a more detailed focus on questions pertinent to the Conference theme: 1. Cultures of Otherness: Gender, Education, Empire (organised by Teresa Malafaia) 2. Culture, Subordination, Emancipation (organised by Alvaro Pina) 3. Utopia and Freedom (organised by Alvaro Pina) Send 150-200 word abstracts to Alvaro Pina <[log in to unmask]> Luisa Leal de Faria <[log in to unmask]> J.Carlos Viana Ferreira <[log in to unmask]> Teresa Malafaia <[log in to unmask]> Adelaide Serras <[log in to unmask]> Valdemar A.
