Call for Papers: Identities in Action!
An inter-disciplinary conference
University of Wales Conference Centre, Gregynog
Friday 10th - Sunday 12th December 1999
Proposals are invited for the presentation of scholarly papers on the
theme of identity construction which are based on studies of groups
and/or individuals in action.
The deadline for proposals (to be presented as 500-word abstracts, in
electronic form) is May 1st 1999. Should you wish to submit a paper, we
would welcome notice of intent by March 1st. Although formal papers
should be submitted, our emphasis during the sessions themselves will be
on presentations that are stimulating and provocative rather than read
verbatim. Suggestions are also welcome for workshop sessions, the
duration of which is open to negotiation.
Proposals and papers are welcome in both Welsh and English.
Interpretation services for these languages will be available at the
conference.
The conference aims to gather together diverse perspectives on the ways
in which concepts of identity, alienation and belonging, and modes of
language and discourse, reveal themselves in cultural and political
undertakings. At this turning point of the millenium, we hope to
identify some emerging patterns in the
negotiation, rehearsal and affirmation of identities, and to consider
the roles of visual, verbal and other codes in mediating, as well as
defining, cultural positions and forging alliances. What, for instance,
is the role of imagery drawn from advertising, popular music and the
mass media in the construction of identities?
In what ways are identities 'under construction' in online media? What
are the variations and constraints in the ways in which we represent
ourselves when we use various modes of communication? What dynamics can
we identify in the ways language and other discourses shape the
identities of groups in action, and help to construct their
trajectories?
