There is much discussion about the arrival of the =8Cglobal condition=B9, and with it new challenges and opportunities. While some scholars have focussed on new dangers of domination and conflict, others have sought to highlight the possibilities opened up by the =8CInformation Age=B9. While some assert the end of the state, History, and even of politics itself, still others argue that power, ideology, and violence remain embedded, their study being more urgent than ever. At such a point of apparent fracture, when longstanding conceptions of politics, practice, community, state and individual have been brought into question, it is useful to focus attention on those elements that unite scholars. One such issue of particular significance is a concern with the question of justice. In seeking to explore disparate concepts of justice, individuality, ethics and community, this conference will aim to bring together critical scholars from all approaches in a forum for mutually-informing discussion aimed both to reframe the key issues of our age as we pass the Millennium, and chart possible new endeavours in research and enquiry. =09CONTRIBUTIONS: The organisers encourage contributions from a variety of disciplines including: politics; sociology; international relations; international political economy; cultural studies; geography; philosophy; film and media studies; drama and other interested parties. The organisers are particularly interested in papers that transcend disciplinary boundaries to address a wider audience. =09 =09MAJOR THEMES: =09Justice and Technoculture=09=09=09=09 Post-Politics and the Limits of Theory =09Possibilities of World Justice=09=09 Justice in a Post-Sovereign Age =09Justice and the Fragmentation of Community=09=09 Justice, Gender and the Political =09Ethics and Individual Action=09=09=09=09 The End of History and the End of Politics =09Justice and Death =09=09=09=09=09 Justice, Order and Capital =09DEADLINE FOR PROPOSALS/ABSTRACT SUBMISSIONS: May 24 1996.
