CfP:
Power, Culture & Economy
4th International Conference
Tampere, Finland
25?27 August 2014
Second Call for Abstracts
Inspired by the great success of the three previous Power Conferences
held in 2008, 2010 and 2012, we will carry on probing questions of
power also in 2014. This time the conference will concentrate on the
linkages between power, culture and the economy.
It is no news to anybody that power, culture and the economy are
interlinked. Yet answers to the question how they are interlinked vary
considerably. Orthodox economists approach the issues of power and
culture from the viewpoint of utility calculation. Radical cultural
constructionists claim that signification is the base on which both
economy and organized use of power rests. Analysts of power insist
that power is everywhere, and that the real task here is to study the
transforming dispositif?s, or mechanisms of power. Field theorists of
different types add yet another aspect to the debate, and actor
network theorists claim that everybody else has up to date neglected the
material aspects of power, culture and the economy and suggest the
study of agencement. These and many other approaches to the
interrelationships of power, culture and the economy will be tackled
in papers and presentations ranging from purely theoretical to
painstakingly empirical and from the global macro perspective to the
finest details of micro contexts in this biennial conference now to be
organized for the fourth time.
Keynote speakers will include
Gabriel Abend, New York University, USA
Yildiz Atasoy, Simon Fraser University, Canada
Daniel Chernilo, Loughborough University, UK
Hanne Marlene Dahl, Roskilde University, Denmark
Eeva Luhtakallio, University of Helsinki, Finland
