          2nd Annual South African
          Qualitative Methods Conference

          "The Body Politic"

          3 & 4 September 1996
          Johannesburg, South Africa

THEME

          "The Body Politic" is intended to
          appeal to those with an interest in 
          bodies - both flesh and blood bodies
          and bodies of knowledge/power. What is
          to be done with bodies (gendered
          bodies, racial bodies, virtual bodies,
          dead bodies) now that the new world
          order is upon us and everything is
          turning into 'discourse'? Contributions
          not directly related to the theme but
          dealing with or making use of
          qualitative methods (in its broadest
          definition) are also welcome.

ATTENDANCE

          The conference is a meeting place for
          academics and other knowledge workers
          such as artists and political
          activists. In academia the conference
          is likely to be of interest to
          individuals in disciplines such as
          psychology, women's studies, sociology,
          history, politics, philosophy, social
          work, media studies, anthropology,
          nursing science and medicine.
