Call for Presentations (deadline for proposals: Thursday 29th February 2024)

London Conference in Critical Thought

Friday 28th and Saturday 29th June 2024, University of Greenwich

The Call for Presentations is now open for the 11th annual London Conference in Critical Thought (LCCT), hosted and supported by the University of Greenwich.

The LCCT is an annual interdisciplinary conference that provides a forum for emergent critical scholarship, broadly construed. The event is always free for all to attend and follows a nonhierarchical model that seeks to foster opportunities for intellectual critical exchanges where all are treated equally regardless of affiliation or seniority. There are no keynotes and the conference is envisaged as a space for those who share intellectual approaches and interests but may find themselves on the margins of their academic department or discipline.

There is no pre-determined theme for each iteration of the conference, with the intellectual content and thematic foci of the conference determined by the streams that are accepted for inclusion in response to the Call for Stream Proposals (now closed).

The streams for LCCT 2024 are:

• Abolition, Carcerality, and Care

• Body Folds and Booty Shots

• Collaboration and Collectivising: Potentials and Intersections

• Convivial Spaces: Forms and Figures of Encounter in Writing and Architecture

• Detail as a Creative-Critical Gateway in Literature, Art, and Architecture

• Exploring and Mapping, Littoral Zones and Liminal Realms: Manifesting Insights and Perspectives on Creative Practice

• Low Theory/Radical Praxis

• Mediating Cultural Heritage: Narrative Strategies and Tactics

• Radical Aesthetics: Imagining, Organising, Enacting Democratic Futures

• The Challenge of Scarcity: Politics, Ecology, and Beyond

• Transforming Vocology Through Interdisciplinary Perspectives

• Trans Theologies

• Use and Abuse of Passion in the Precarious Labour Market

• Violent Delights: Joy, Pleasure, Ecstasies, the Political, and the Promise of Violent Ends
