UNAUSTRALIA
The Cultural Studies Association of Australasia Conference
Dec 6-8 2006
Call for papers:
If things are ‘un-Australian’ it must be because they come from
UNAUSTRALIA.
Where is it?
Who lives there?
How does it come to be?
What is its past and what is its future?
While raising some very local questions of critique and desire, the
theme is
open to international perspectives and interpretations.
Do other places have their own unplaces? What goes on there?
Speakers:
Professor Jacques Rancire, author of Disagreement, will deliver the
keynote
address in the Australian Parliament House. Confirmed Australasian
keynotes
include Professor Larissa Behrendt, Professor John Frow and Associate
Professor Catharine Lumby. Other venues include the University of
Canberra
and the National Museum of Australia.
Format:
The conference will feature both refereed and non-refereed papers, and a
curated exhibition of creative on-line works, which are to be
installed in
the National Museum of Australia?s Garden of Australian Dreams for the
conference opening. The University of Canberra invites abstracts of
up to
150 words for 20 minute papers. We also welcome panel submissions.
Closing date for submission of abstracts:
June 30th, 2006
