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.
Send all proposals and inquiries via e-mail, fax, or mail to:
