Call for Papers:
Cultural Studies and Interdisciplinarity: Difference, Otherness,
Dialogue, Translation
Trinity and All Saints, College of the University of Leeds
25-26 April 2000
After almost thrity years of gradual institutionalisation, Cultural
Studies continues to engage academics, professionals and
practitioners alike. The challenges Cultural Studies poses to its
opponents as much as to its proponents are related to questions of
methodology, political agenda, pedagogy, legitimation and
dissemination.
We believe it is time to re-open the question of Cultural Studies and
its problematic "foundation" on the principle of interdisciplinarity.
The variety of theoretical conceptualisations and general practices
of "transgressing" (disciplinary) boundaries -- interdisciplinarity,
transdisciplinarity, alterdisciplinarity, etc. -- continues to raise
questions of translation, otherness and difference in generating
possibilities for dialogue.
Your contributions -- in the form of 30 minute papers -- are invited
to address the conference topic from various perspectives:
- the view from "inside" CS
- the view from "outside" CS
- the "hybrid" view
- the "view from the boundary"
