Call for Papers "'Without Let or Hindrance': Inclusion and its Subversion from the Medieval to the Modern Interdisciplinary Conference Department of History, Lancaster University Lancaster (UK) 7-9 July 2006
How have distinctions between inclusion and exclusion, between insider and outsider, been articulated and subverted during the past millennium? Papers are invited which interrogate the histories of social, political and cultural regimes of recognition, inclusion and exclusion. Panels are being constituted regardless of historical period and geopolitical specificity. Themes presently include: - Bodies: sexuality and deviance - Beliefs: conversion, secularism and multi-culturalism - Aesthetics and Materialities: enclosures and marking of boundaries; humans, things and differentiation - Security: from political institutions to regimes of insurance - Culture: ethnicity, citizenship and nationality Key notes: - Professor Radhika Mongia Feminist Studies, University of California, Santa Cruz - Professor S.
