> Call for Papers
> The Cultural Mediations program at Carleton University announces a  
> call
> for papers for its annual graduate conference to be held on campus in
> Ottawa on May 4th, 2006. Details are available on the conference web
> site at http://www.carleton.ca/interface/.
>
> The Interface colloquium has been held the last two years as an
> interdisciplinary forum for graduate researchers and scholars. Its
> broadest aim is to explore the ideological, epistemological, ethical,
> and aesthetic consequences of questioning and transgressing  
> traditional
> borders between disciplinary fields. This year’s theme, “Ruptures,”  
> can
> be approached in light of Michel Foucault’s claim in _The Archaeology
> of Knowledge_ that sites of rupture and discontinuity should not be
> explained away in the interests of progress and objectivity, but
> instead treated as the “conditions of possibility” that give rise to
> knowledge in the first place. Presentations dealing with any aspect of
> this year’s theme are welcomed in the streams of Literary Studies,
> Visual Culture, Musical Culture, New Technologies, Historical
> Representation or any other related discipline or discourse. Some
> possible presentation topics include but are by no means limited to:
>
> - Transnationalism, post-colonialism, cultural translation,
> global/local interaction.
> - Queer theory, gender studies, cultural and ethnic identity.
> - Abjection, otherness, hybridity, liminality, performativity.
> - Textuality/intertextuality, text/image, hypertext, semiotics,
> narratology.
> - Technology and the body, post-humanism, informatics, virtuality,
> hyperreality.
> - Strategies of resistance, radical politics, agency and activism.
> - Modernity/postmodernity/post-postmodernity.
> - High/low culture, popular culture, subcultures.
>
> Proposals
> The format for each presentation is a twenty minute paper followed by
> discussion. Alternatively, twenty minute media performance pieces are
> also invited for submission. These performances will be followed by a
> dialogue with the artist.
>
> Proposals should include:
> 1) An abstract of no more than 300 words for the twenty minute paper,
> including the title, but no other identifying features (to ensure
> anonymous selection).
> 2) A cover page including paper title, name, contact information
> (phone, address and e-mail), and any audio/visual equipment needed.
>
> Send all submissions as attachments to: interface at connect.carleton.ca.
> The deadline for submissions is February 3rd, 2006.
