> If resistance has a tradition, it is one which is not unilinear or
> uncontested. Dominant understandings of resistance are themselves resisted,
> typically when certain peoples are left outside of the history or the
> conceptualisation of resistance. This conference explores how the notion of
> resistance has been challenged, both by practices of resistance and
> theorisations of resistance (a distinction which can only be maintained so
> far).
>
> How has the advent of new technologies shifted understandings of
> resistance? Is resistance distinct from politics, and if so how do both
> operate when neoliberal rationality becomes hegemonic? Does violence
> interrupt resistance, or is it generative of resistance? What conceptions
> of the human are presumed in discourses of resistance? Can resistance be
> enacted, or contested, through memory?
>
> The Critical Studies Research Group welcomes proposals for both research
> papers as well as non-conventional forms of presentation, for example
> performances, workshops, screenings and papers that resist traditional
> hierarchies of academic presentation. Videos and performances should be
> accompanied by a short presentation detailing the work’s critical
> engagement with the conference theme. Submissions might be from a range of
> disciplines, and transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary contributions are
> also encouraged.

> *About the Critical Studies Research Group*
>
> The Critical Studies Research Group (CSRG) was founded in 2011 by
> postgraduate students at the School of Humanities, University of Brighton,
> with the aim of providing a forum for the discussion and exploration of
> critical ideas and practices in light of contemporary socio-political
> challenges. The CSRG maintains a strong commitment to interdisciplinarity,
> and any challenges that interdisciplinarity might pose are counteracted by
> our shared interest in the role and scope of critical thought and practice
> within contemporary capitalism. Fore more information, please see
> criticalstudies.org.uk.
