Second and final Call for Papers
Cultures of Turkey/Cultures of Turks
3-5 September 2003
Yüzüncü Yil University, Van (Turkey)
A cultural studies conference
co-organized by the Group for Cultural Studies in Turkey
and Yüzüncü Yil University
The Group for Cultural Studies in Turkey and Yüzüncü Yil University invite
proposals for a cultural studies conference they are co-organizing on 3-5
September 2003 in Van (Turkey). Focusing on the study of cultures
generated over the centuries in Turkey, and by Turks in various continents
and regions, the interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary conference aims to
interrogate established notions of culture both in Turkey and outside of
Turkey.
We welcome proposals for papers that break new ground in generating
theory, or constitute innovative critical work that would lead to
theoretical formulations and methodology, on such issues as--but not
limited to--identity, gender, class, ethnicity, nationhood, imperialism,
post-coloniality, orientalism, religion, and diasporic experience. The
conference intends to examine, besides Turkish culture; the cultures of
what is now Turkey; the cultures of Euro-Turks (and Turkish-Americans,
Australasian Turks, etc.); the residual Turkish cultures in former Ottoman
territories in the Middle East and the Balkans; the cultures of Turcophone
countries and regions in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union (in
Central Asia, the Caucasus and the Russian Federation); and those of
Turcophone minorities in such countries as Iran and China.
The language of the conference is Turkish. Texts in English will be accepted,
however, if their translation into Turkish is provided.
Abstracts of 100-200 words or complete papers should be sent along a
brief curriculum vitae. Panel proposals with three to four papers should
include, besides the panel proposal, abstracts of the papers in the panel, and
brief curriculum vitae of the chair, presenters, and discussant(s) if any.
