4th Global Conference: Strangers, Aliens and Foreigners (September 2012: Oxford, United Kingdom)

4th Global Conference
Strangers, Aliens and Foreigners

Friday 21st September 2012 – Sunday 23rd September
2012
Mansfield College, Oxford, United Kingdom

Call for Papers

This multi-disciplinary project seeks to explore
the crucial place that strangers, aliens and
foreigners have for the constitution of self,
communities and societies. In particular the
project will assess world transformations, like
phenomena we associate with the term
'globalisation', new forms of migration and the
massive movements of people across the globe, as
well as the impact they have on the conceptions we
hold of self and other. Looking to encourage
innovative trans-disciplinary dialogues, we warmly
welcome papers from all disciplines, professions
and vocations which struggle to understand what it
means for people, the world over, to forge a sense
of self in rapidly changing contexts where it is
no longer possible to ignore the importance of
strangers, aliens and foreigners for our
contemporary nations, societies and cultures.

Papers, workshops and presentations are invited on
any of the following themes:

1. Transformations of Self
~ How is Self interweaved with Other? And the many
ways in which Self depends on Other
~ Acknowledging the importance of strangers for
our lives, for our sense of well-being
~ Recognising our dependence on aliens and
foreigners for our communities, cities and towns,
for our countries and nations
~ The decline of the value of sameness and
homogeneity, the rise of diversity and plurality
~ Opposing the construction of self by othering,
excluding and stigmatising

2. Boundaries, Communities and Nations
~ Who is a stranger? Aliens and foreigners to whom?
~ New migrants, new migratory flows and massive
movements from peripheral to central countries
~ Trans-national networks and the blurring of
boundaries; are we living trans-national and
post-national realities?
~ Assimilation, integration, adaptation and other
forms of placing the responsibility of change on
foreigners
~ What has happened to ideas like acceptance,
hospitality and cosmopolitanism

3. Economies, Institutions and Migrants
~ Labour migration as key for economic growth and
prosperity
~ The politics of making aliens, foreigners and
migratory labour 'invisible'
~ Global politics of money over people; new forms
of global exclusion
~ Social movements, new rebellion and alternative
globalisations
~ Trans-cultural connections that escape
institutional and political control

4. Art and Representations
~ Production and reproduction of cultural typing
and stereotyping
~ The contested space of representing self and
other, native and foreigner
~ Art, media and how to challenge the rigid
constructions of art and culture
~ Fictions of strangers, stories of aliens, fables
of foreigners
~ The artistic constructions of otherness

5. Self (inevitably) linked to Other
~ De-centering selves; who am I if not the
relation with others?
~ Thinking and acting with others in mind;
orienting life inter-subjectively
~ Tensions, contradictions and conflicts of living
recognising aliens and foreigners
~ Bonds of care across boundaries of inequality
and exclusion, ideologies and religions, politics
and power, nations and geography
~ Non-recognition as social and cultural violence

The 2012 meeting of Strangers, Aliens and
Foreigners will run alongside a second of our
projects on Beauty and we anticipate holding
sessions in common between the two projects. We
welcome any papers or panels considering the
problems or addressing issues that cross both
projects. Papers will be considered on any related
theme. 300 word abstracts should be submitted by
Friday 16th March 2012. If an abstract is accepted
for the conference, a full draft paper should be
submitted by Friday 22nd June 2012. 300 word
abstracts should be submitted to the Organising
Chairs; abstracts may be in Word, WordPerfect, or
RTF formats, following this order:

a) author(s), b) affiliation, c) email address, d)
title of abstract, e) body of abstract, f) up to
10 keywords
E-mails should be entitled: Strangers Abstract
Submission

Please use plain text (Times Roman 12) and abstain
from using any special formatting, characters or
emphasis (such as bold, italics or underline).
Please note that a Book of Abstracts is planned
for the end of the year. All accepted abstracts
will be included in this publication We
acknowledge receipt and answer to all paper
proposals submitted. If you do not receive a reply
from us in a week you should assume we did not

7th Global Conference: The Erotic (Exploring Critical Issues)

7th Global Conference
The Erotic

Tuesday 11th September – Thursday 13th September 2012
Mansfield College, Oxford

Call for Papers

Mapping the field of the erotic is a complex and
frustrating endeavour; as something which
permeates lived experience, interpersonal
relationships, intellectual reflection, aesthetic
tastes and sensibilities, the erotic is clearly
multi-layered and requires a plethora of
approaches, insights and perspectives if we are to
better to understand, appreciate and define it.

This inter- and trans- disciplinary project seeks
to explore critical issues in relation to
eroticism and the erotic through its history, its
emergence in human development, both individual
and phylogenetic, as well as its expression in
national and cultural histories across the world,
including issues of transgression and censorship.
The project will also explore erotic imagination
and its representation in art, art history,
literature, film and music. These explorations
inevitably touch on the relationship between
sexualities, gender and bodies, along with
questions concerning the perverse, fetishism and
fantasy, pornography and obscenity.

Papers, presentations, workshops and pre-formed
panels are also invited on any of the following
themes:

* the erotic and identity
* disability, ethnicity, gender, class and
eroticism
* the erotic in education and the education of
the erotic
* eroticism in popular culture and media:
cinema, tv, theatre, radio, newspapers and
magazines, the internet in all its forms
* the erotic in literature and on the screen
exploitative eroticism, e.g., pornography
* the erotic, ethics and philosophy the
eroticised (or de-eroticised) body
* absence, control and excess of the erotic
* the erotic and sexuality: is there a
difference, and if so, what? the erotic in
representation
* the erotic and (post- neo-)colonialism
* eroticism in the making of the exotic
* the erotic in mythology
* the erotic and the non-human (vampires,
zombies, cyborgs, etc)
* eroticism and technology: sex toys and other
turn-ons

This project will run concurrently with our
project on Monsters and the Monstrous – we welcome
any papers considering the problems or addressing
issues on Monsters and The Erotic for a cross-over
panel. We also welcome pre-formed panels on any
aspect of the monstrous or in relation to
crossover panel(s).
We welcome submissions from within specific
disciplinary boundaries, but we are also
particularly interested in interdisciplinary
contributions that balance the scope of insight
that disciplines bring with the limitations that
disciplinary boundaries create in failing to
recognise cross-disciplinary connections, which
neglect important historical and cultural
perspectives on the development of the 'erotic' as
a locus of attention. Consequently, we are
particularly keen to encourage submissions that
are not subsumed within disciplines, but cut
across and between disciplinary vocabularies to
provide new synergies, domains and
inter-disciplinary possibilities. We warmly
welcome proposals which go beyond traditional
paper presentations and encompass also panels,
performances and workshops.

300 word abstracts should be submitted by Friday
16th March 2012. If an abstract is accepted for
the conference, a full draft paper should be
submitted by Friday 22nd June 2012.

Abstracts should be submitted to the Organising
Chairs; abstracts may be in Word, WordPerfect, or
RTF formats, following this order:

a) author(s), b) affiliation, c) email address, d)
title of abstract, e) body of abstract, f) up to
10 keywords
E-mails should be entitled: The Erotic Abstract
Submission

Please use plain text (Times Roman 12) and abstain
from using any special formatting, characters or
emphasis (such as bold, italics or underline).

proposals submitted. If you do not receive a reply
from us in a week you should assume we did not

1st global Conference: The Graphic Novel

1st global Conference:
The Graphic Novel

Friday 7th September 2012 – Sunday 9th September 2012
Mansfield College, Oxford, United Kingdom

"Behind this mask there is more than just flesh.
Beneath this mask there
is an idea… and ideas are bulletproof."
― Alan Moore, V for Vendetta

Call for Papers:
This inter- and multi-disciplinary conference aims
to examine, explore
and critically engage with issues in and around
the production, creation
and reading of all forms of comics and graphic
novels. Taken as a form
of pictographic narrative it has been with us
since the first cave
paintings and even in the 21st century remains a
hugely popular, vibrant
and culturally relevant means of communication
whether expressed as
sequential art, graphic literature, bandes
dessinees, tebeos, fumetti,
manga, manhwa, komiks, strips, historietas,
quadrinhos, beeldverhalen,
or just plain old comics. (as noted by Paul Gravett)

Whilst the form itself became established in the
19th Century it is
perhaps not until the 20th century that comic book
heroes like Superman
(who has been around since 1938) became, not just
beloved characters,
but national icons. With the globalisation of
publishing brands such as
Marvel and DC it is no accident that there has
been an increase in
graphic novel adaptations and their associated
merchandising. Movies
such as X-men, Iron man, Watchmen and the recent
Thor have grossed
millions of dollars across the world and many
television series have
been continued off-screen in the graphic form,
Buffy, Firefly and
Farscape to name a few.

Of course America and Europe is not the only base
of this art form and
the Far East and Japan have their own traditions
as well as a huge
influence on graphic representations across the
globe. In particular
Japanese manga has influenced comics in Taiwan,
South Korea, Hong Kong,
China, France and the United States, and have
created an amazing array
of reflexive appropriations and re-appropriations,
in not just in comics
but in anime as well.

Of equal importance in this growth and relevance
of the graphic novel
are the smaller and independent publishers that
have produced
influential works such as Maus by Art Spiegleman,
Persepolis by Marjane
Satrapi, Palestine by Joe Sacco, Epileptic by
David B and even Jimmy
Corrigan by Chris Ware that explore, often on a
personal level,
contemporary concerns such as gender, diaspora,
post-colonialism,
sexuality, globalisation and approaches to health,
terror and identity.
Further to this the techniques and styles of the
graphic novel have
taken further form online creating entirely
web-comics and hypertexts,
as in John Cei Douglas' Lost and Found and Shelley
Jackson's Patchwork
Girl, as well as forming part of larger
trans-media narratives and
submersive worlds, as in the True Blood franchise
that invites fans to
enter and participate in constructing a narrative
in many varied formats
and locations.

This projects invites papers that consider the
place of the comic or
graphic novel in both history and location and the
ways that it
appropriates and is appropriated by other media in
the enactment of
individual, social and cultural identity.

Papers, reports, work-in-progress, workshops and
pre-formed panels are
invited on issues related to (but not limited to)
the following themes:

* Just what makes a Graphic Novel so Graphic and
so Novel?:
~Sources, early representations and historical
contexts of the form.
~Landmarks in development, format and narratology.
~Cartoons, comics, graphic novels and artists books.
~Words, images, texture and colour and what makes a GN
~Format, layout, speech bubbles and "where the
*@#% do we go from here?"
* The Inner and Outer Worlds of the Graphic Novel:
~Outer and Inner spaces; Thoughts, cities, and
galaxies and other
representations of graphic place and space.
~ Differing temporalities, Chronotopes and "time
flies":
Intertextuality, editing and the nature of Graphic
and/or Deleuzian time.
~ Graphic Superstars and Words versus Pictures:
Alan Moore v Dave
Gibbons (Watchmen) Neil Gaiman v Jack Kirby (Sandman).
~Performance and performativity of, in and around
graphic representations.
~Transcriptions and translations: literature into
pictures, films into
novels and high/low graphic arts.
* Identity, Meanings and Otherness:
~GN as autobiography, witnessing, diary and narrative
~Representations of disability, illness, coping
and normality
~Cultural appropriations, east to west and
globalisation
~National identity, cultural icons and
stereo-typical villains
~Immigration, postcolonial and stories of exile
~Representing gender, sexualities and
non-normative identities.
~Politics, prejudices and polemics: banned,
censored and comix that are
"just plain wrong"
~Other cultures, other voices, other words
* To Infinity and Beyond: The Graphic Novel in the
21st Century:
~Fanzines and Slash-mags: individual identity
through appropriation.
~Creator and Created: Interactions and
interpolations between authors
and audience.
~Hypertext, Multiple formats and inter-active
narratives.
~Cross media appropriation, GN into film, gaming
and merchandisng and
vice versa
~Graphic Myths and visions of the future: Sandman,
Hellboy, Ghost in the Shell.

Papers can be accepted which deal solely with
Graphic Novels. This
project will run concurrently with our project on
Fear, Horror and
Terror – we welcome any papers considering the
problems or addressing
issues on Fear, Horror and Terror and Graphic
Novels for a cross-over
panel. We also welcome pre-formed panels on any
aspect of the Graphic
Novel or in relation to crossover panel(s).
Papers will be accepted which deal with related
areas and themes. 300
word abstracts should be submitted by Friday 16th
March 2012. If an
abstract is accepted for the conference, a full
draft paper should be
submitted by Friday 22nd June 2012. 300 word

4th Global Conference
Fashion

Sunday 16th September – Wednesday 19th September 2012
Mansfield College, Oxford, United Kingdom

Call for Papers:

Fashion is a statement, a stylised form of
expression, which displays and begins to define a
person, a place, a class, a time, a religion, a

consumer culture, and social media; determine its
effect on gender, sexuality, class, race, age,
nation and other sources of identity; and explore
future directions and trends.

publications and collaborations, the conference
will be structured around five main areas of
focus. Each area will have the opportunity to

2nd Global Conference: Gender and Love (September 2012: Oxford, United Kingdom)

2nd Global Conference
Gender and Love

Tuesday 25th September – Thursday 27th September 2012
Mansfield College, Oxford, United Kingdom

Call for Papers:

The study of gender is an interdisciplinary field
intertwined with feminism, queer studies,
sexuality studies, postcolonial studies, and
cultural studies (to name just some relevant fields).

This project calls for the consideration of gender
in relation to various kinds of love (with regard,
for example, to self, spirit, religion, family,
friendship, ethics, nation, globalisation,
environment, and so on). How do the interactions
of gender and love promote particular performances
of gender; conceptions of individual and
collective identity; formations of community;
notions of the human; understandings of good and
evil? These are just some of the questions that
occupy this project.

This conference welcomes research papers which
seek to understand the interaction and
interconnection between the concepts of love and
gender; and whether, when, how and in what ways
the two concepts conceive and construct each other.

Papers, presentations, workshops and pre-formed
panels are invited on issues related to any of the
following themes:

1. Love as a Disciplinary Force: Productions of Gender
* Love, Gender, Essentialism and Ontology
* Love, Gender and Narrative
* Love, Gender and the Law
* Love, Gender and Religion

2. Norms, Normativity, Intimacy
* Rituals and Rites
* Conventions, Commitments and Obligations
* Choices and Respect; Loyalty and Trust
* Transgressions and Taboos

3. Gendered Yearnings
* Personhood and Identity
* Body Politics and Belonging
* Love and Gender Performativity
* Transgender Desires
* Queer Kinship Formations
* Queer Conceptualisations of the State

4. Global Perspectives on Gender and Love
* Transformations of Intimacy in a Global World
* Sex and Choice
* Reproductive Rights
* Sexual Citizenship
* Gender, Love and Trans/Nationalism

5. Representations of Gender and Love
* Aesthetics and Intelligibility
* Gendered Narrations of Love
* Media, Gender and Love

For 2012, the Gender and Love project will meet
alongside our project on Skins and Contemporary
Culture. It is our intention to create cross-over
sessions between the two groups – and we welcome
proposals which deal with the relationship between
gender and love and Skins and contemporary
culture. The Steering Group particularly welcomes
the submission of pre-formed panel proposals.
Papers will also be considered on any related
theme. 300 word abstracts should be submitted by
Friday 16th March 2012. If an abstract is accepted
for the conference, a full draft paper should be
submitted by Friday 22nd June 2012. Abstracts
should be submitted simultaneously to both
Organising Chairs; abstracts may be in Word,
WordPerfect, or RTF formats with the following
information and in this order:

a) author(s), b) affiliation, c) email address, d)
title of abstract, e) body of abstract, f) up to
10 keywords
E-mails should be entitled: GL2 Abstract Submission.

Please use plain text (Times Roman 12) and abstain
from using footnotes and any special formatting,
characters or emphasis (such as bold, italics or

is planned for the end of the year. All accepted
abstracts will be included in this publication. We

proposals submitted. If you do not receive a reply
from us in a week you should assume we did not

cyberspace! We suggest, then, to look for an
alternative electronic route or resend.

3rd Global Conference: Space and Place (Exploring Critical Issues)

3rd Global Conference
Space and Place

Monday 3rd September – Thursday 6th September 2012
Mansfield College, Oxford, United Kingdom

Call for Papers:
Questions of space and place affect the very way
in which we experience and recreate the world.
Wars are fought over both real and imagined
spaces; boundaries are erected against the "Other"
constructed in a lived landscape of division and
disenfranchisement; and ideology constructs a
national identity based upon the dialectics of
inclusion and exclusion. The construction of
space and place is also a fundamental aspect of
the creative arts either through the art of
reconstruction of a known space or in establishing
a relationship between the audience and the
performance. Politics, power and knowledge are
also fundamental components of space as is the
relationship between visibility and invisibility.
This new inter- and multi-disciplinary conference
project seeks to explore these and other topics
and open up a dialogue about the politics and
practices of space and place. We seek submissions
from a range of disciplines including archaeology,
architecture, urban geography, the visual and
creative arts, philosophy and politics and also
actively encourage practioners and non-academics
with an interest in the topic to participate.

We welcome traditional papers, preformed panels of
papers, workshop proposals and other forms of
performance – recognising that different
disciplines express themselves in different
mediums. Submissions are sought on any aspect of
space and place, including the following:

1. Theorising Space and Place
~Philosophies and space and place
~Surveillance, sight and the panoptic structures
and spaces of contemporary life
~Rhizomatics and/or postmodernist constructions of
space as a "meshwork of paths" (Ingold: 2008)
~The relationship between spatiality and
temporality/space as a temporal-spatial event
(Massey: 2005)
~The language and semiotics of space and place

2. Situated Identities
~Gendered spaces including the tension between
domestic and public spheres
~Work spaces and hierarchies of power
~Geographies and archaeologies of space including
Orientalism and Occidentalism
~Ethnic spaces/ethnicity and space
~Disabled spaces/places
~Queer places and spaces

3. Contested spaces
~The politics and ideology of constructions and
discourses of space and place including the
construction of gated communities as a response to
real/imagined terrorism.
~The relationship between power, knowledge and the
construction of place and space
~Territorial wars, both real and imagined.
~The relationship between the global and the local
~Barriers, obstructions and disenfranchisement in
the construction of lived spaces
~Space and place from colonisation to globalisation
~Real and imagined maps/cartographies of place
~Transnational and translocal places

4. Representations of place and space
~Embodied/disembodied spaces
~Lived spaces and the architecture of identity
~Haunted spaces/places and non-spaces
~Set design and the construction of space in film,
television and theatre
~Authenticity and the reproduction/representation
of place in the creative arts
~Technology and developments in the representation
of space including new media technologies and 3D
technologies of viewing
~Future cities/futurology and space
~Representations of the urban and the city in the
media and creative arts
~Space in computer games

Papers on any other topic related to the theme
will also be considered.

This project will run concurrently with our
project on Reframing Punishment – we welcome any
papers considering the problems or addressing
issues on Reframing Punishment and Space and Place
for a cross-over panel. We also welcome pre-formed
panels on any aspect of Space or Place or in
relation to crossover panel(s).

300 word abstracts should be submitted by Friday
16th March 2012. If an abstract is accepted for
the conference, a full draft paper should be
submitted by Friday 22nd June 2012. 300 word
abstracts should be submitted to the Organising
Chairs; abstracts may be in Word, WordPerfect, or
RTF formats, following this order:

a) author(s), b) affiliation, c) email address, d)
title of abstract, e) body of abstract, f) up to
10 keywords.
E-mails should be entitled: SP Abstract Submission

Please use plain text (Times Roman 12) and abstain
from using footnotes and any special formatting,
characters or emphasis (such as bold, italics or
underline). Please note that a Book of Abstracts
is planned for the end of the year. All accepted
abstracts will be included in this publication. We
