Subject: Fwd: CFP: _Researching Culture_
RESEARCHING CULTURE An international, multi-disciplinary conference on:
traditions, approaches and methods for analysing culture 10/11/12
September 1999, University of North London
Call for Papers
Today no single discipline �owns' the study of culture. This is an
expanding field of analysis across philosophy, anthropology, sociology,
cultural and media studies, literary studies, film studies, gender
studies, organisational studies, geography, history, political science,
and economics. Each of these disciplines has contributed to the study
of culture and in the process have produced diverse definitions and
methods for its analysis. What does it mean to study culture in this
multi-disciplinary environment. Indeed should there be a consensus on
what �culture' means?
This conference aims to bring together researchers from a wide range of
backgrounds to discuss the present and future directions of cultural
analysis. We welcome papers that explore the following questions
either from an epistemological perspective or through current research:
Should we decentre the concept of culture? Are disciplinary boundaries
useful when studying culture? Are we asking the right questions? What
are the politics of studying culture? What is at stake in the funding
of cultural research? Text/audience/institutions: what do we mean by
�media culture'? What ever happened to political economy? Do new
methods follow from new technologies? Are we living in a global
culture? Decentring Europe: how do we ensure internationalist
perspectives?.
Proposals, of 300 words maximum, are invited from academics and
researchers in all relevant fields.
Please send proposals by February 8th 1999 to:
