But the >problem of ethics, with rare exceptions, has generally been associated >with disciplines such as philosophy, political theory or >deconstruction-oriented literary theory. One could argue, however, that >cultural studies - in its questioning of inherited traditions and >cultural prejudices and its interest in �marginal voices� - is >intrinsically ethical. In focusing on the interconnections between >ethics and politics in cultural studies, we want to investigate the >duties and responsibilities of cultural studies, as well as delineate >some new ways of practising �the political�. > >For parallel sessions we invite 20 minute papers from a variety of >disciplines and approaches on a range of themes, including: > >� Is cultural studies political enough? >� The spectre of Marxism in cultural studies >� New identities, new politics >� Respect for the �other�: a postcolonial perspective >� The ethics of everyday life >� Gender, ethics and difference >� The governance of cyberspace >� The politics of literature >� Bioethics and genethics >� Culture and ethics >� Is there a duty in cultural studies? > >Please send your proposal before 28 February 2001 to: > >Dr Joanna Zylinska & Dr Mark Devenney >Bath Spa University College >School of Historical and Cultural Studies >Newton Park >Bath BA2 9BN >UK > >email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ------- End of forwarded message ------- ************************************ Dr. Stefanie S.
