----CALL FOR PAPERS
Baupläne für Zwischenräume / Blueprints for No-Man's Land Connections in Contemporary Austrian Culture University of Aberdeen, 14-17 September 2000
Künstlerische Forschung und Experiment sind ... ebenso wichtig wie die Produktion von Kunst (Peter Weibl)
This interdisciplinary conference will investigate the connections between different forms of cultural production and representation in present-day Austria. It has two interrelated aims: first, to facilitate interaction between theorists and practitioners with an interest in contemporary Austrian culture and second, to explore areas of overlap between various forms of cultural representation in contemporary Austrian culture. The conference will be accompanied by literary readings, an art exhibition, and a theatre performance. These 'accompanying events' will form an integral part of the conference, while also presenting aspects of Austrian culture to a wider non-academic audience. Among those who have expressed an interest in contributing are Manfred Erjautz, Veronika Dreier, Theater im Bahnhof (Graz).
Utilising as a central motif a model of the cultural sphere as city, divided into distinct, but overlapping areas through which theorists and practitioners circulate, we are seeking papers which explore the nature of the 'Zwischenräume' between different forms of representation. Papers should address the connections (historical, existing, potential and missed) between various cultural spheres such as: * literature * art * architecture * music * film * theatre and cabaret In each case, we are interested in both 'high' and 'low' culture, as well as in works which subvert this distinction.
Papers, either in English or in German, should be 30 minutes long. Please send your paper title and short abstract (200 words) by 15 December 1999 to:
