UNIVERSITY OF SALFORD: UK
THE FUTURE OF IDENTITY: AN INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE
9th and 10th September 2004
Presenting a two day interdisciplinary conference for postgraduate students of arts, media and social sciences to be held at the University of Salford.
This conference aims to consider the notion of identity on a personal, national and global level. We will investigate identity as a social and political construction and examine the way in which traditional understandings of the term are changing as we move into a new millennium. We will be considering textual and multi-media representations of identity alongside social, political and historical research.
Some of the broad themes we will cover are:
· National/Sexual/Ethnic Identity in the 21st Century
· The Fragmentation of Identity
· Identity/Difference
· Identity in a Global World
· Representations of Identity
Proposals are invited on these topics or on work that interprets the conference theme more broadly. Proposals are invited for papers of 15-20 minutes and should include an abstract. The conference is also open to those who wish to attend without presenting a paper.
