(fwd) *********************************************************** PLEASE DISTRIBUTE PLEASE DISTRIBUTE PLEASE DISTRIBUTE *********************************************************** THE GRADUATE PROGRAM IN SOCIAL AND POLITICAL THOUGHT ANNOUNCES A CALL FOR PAPERS FOR ITS ANNUAL STUDENT CONFERENCE: STRATEGIES OF CRITIQUE 14: WHAT IS POLITICAL? March 24-25, 2000 / York University There is much debate on what, precisely, it is we refer to when we speak of politics and the political. Is everything political? Does this mean nothing is political? What or where are the politics of government? What are the politics of defining the political? What is the relation between the political and other discourses: economics, gender, sexuality, technology, race, and so forth? Where is the political? Are there places where the political is absent? Is there an urgency to the political? Keeping in mind these questions, we seek proposals which attempt to shed light on the political and politics. We encourage proposals which focus on the following themes but all proposals related to the conference will be considered. · The Poverty of Globalization · The Politics of Race, Class, and Gender · "Marxish": Limits of Orthodoxy and Transgression · Sexual Politics: Sub-Missionary Positions · Art, Aesthetics, and Propaganda · Future States · Traditions and Institutions: On the Future Past · The Public Statement · Unconscious Nation · Echoes of Empire: Colonized Possessions · Cases of the Political Graduate students are invited to submit a 200-word proposal for a paper, case study, performance, or video presentation by Wednesday, December 15th, 1999. All proposals will be blind reviewed. Presentations should be approximately 20 minutes.
