THE THIRD ANNUAL HISTORY AND THEORY CONFERENCE
November 13-14, 1999 University of California, Irvine
---------------------------- ----------------------------
Call for Papers
Graduate students are invited to submit proposals for an interdisciplinary
conference to be held on November 13-14, 1999, which will examine the
connections between history and theory. The conference will take up
issues and ideas raised by many contemporary theories available to us -
critical theory, cultural studies, feminism, queer theory, and
postcolonial studies, among others - examining their usefulness in the
study of the past as practiced in various disciplinary settings. The
conference aims to explore ways various theories reshape historical
inquiry, as well as the contexts in which these theories have developed.
We encourage submissions which stress the dialogic relationship between
history and theory, by applying theoretical models in the analysis of a
historical problem or by historicizing the development of a theory or body
of theories.
Possible avenues of investigation might include, but are not limited to
-Theorizing sexual difference -Queer histories
-Theories of inclusion and exclusion -Postcolonial sexuality
-The politics of power -Constructing masculinities
-Historicizing the body and/or the senses -Listening practices
-Visual culture/spectatorship -Race, gender, nation
-The state of feminism/feminist history -History and memory
Submission Deadline: August 15, 1999
Please submit:
-A one-page abstract with no information identifying the submitter
-A cover letter which includes institutional affiliation and
contact information
