CALL FOR PAPERS: The Subject of Meaning in the Arts
"(Dis)junctions Conference: The Center Does Not Hold" is the ninth
annual humanities graduate student conference at the University of
California, Riverside; April 5-6th, 2002.
Despite the acclaimed deconstruction and obsolescence of 'traditional'
models of ob/subjectivity and meaning, these models still enjoy
wide-spread currency in contemporary academic scholarship. Graduate
students are invited to present papers relevant to the themes of
subjectivity and meaning as they relate to arts' scholarship.
Questions of how meaning is derived, performed, proliferated, coerced,
including its relevance as an expression, are central to the assumptions
underlying scholarship in the arts. Indeed, such questions may extend
to how artists themselves perform meaning, and/or perform their
subjectivity within a discourse of meaning production. Research
complicating, examining, subverting, intervening, mythologizing, or
apotheosizing these models are encouraged. Submissions are also
welcomed concerning theories of hybridity, globalism, methodology,
performativity, semiotics, as they may relate to the production of
meaning.
