Literature, Art and Culture in an Age of Global Risk. Cardiff University, UK
CALL FOR PAPERS: Literature, Art and Culture in an Age of Global Risk - An international, Interdisciplinary Conference. What are the cultural implications of living under conditions of global, manufactured risk? In the twentieth century, the possibility arose for the first time that a crisis of planetary proportions might result from human activities. By the early decades of the century, global economic and financial interdependence was such that a crisis unfolding in one location could radiate outwards to destabilize the entire socio-economic world-system. This conference will explore how writers, artists, filmmakers, dramatists, philosophers, and critical and cultural theorists have responded to the prospect and reality of global crisis. website: http://www.cf.ac.uk/encap/globalrisk Deadline for submissions: 22 Dec 2008. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
