Rhetoric as Equipment for Living. Kenneth Burke, Culture and Education

Rhetoric as Equipment for Living. Kenneth Burke, Culture and Education. 22nd to 25th May 2013 Ghent, Belgium Enquiries: kbconference@ugent.be Web address: http://www.cultureeducation.ugent.be/kennethburke The second half of the twentieth century has witnessed a number of different but related turns in the humanities and social sciences: linguistic, cultural, anthropological/ethnographic, interpretive, semiotic, narrative... All these turns recognise the importance of signs and symbols in our interpretations of reality and more specifically the cultural construction of meaning through both language and narrative. The aim of this conference is to introduce rhetoric as a major term for synthesizing all the above-mentioned turns by exploring how rhetoric can make us self-aware about language and culture. We will specifically focus on 'new rhetoric', a body of work that sets rhetoric free from its confinement within the traditional fields of education, politics and literature, not by abandoning these fields but by refiguring them. Guiding source of inspiration in all this will be the international legacy of Kenneth Burke, one of the founders of this new rhetoric tradition together with scholars such as Wayne Booth, Richard McKeon, Chaim Perelman and Lucie Olbrechts-Tyteca. As a rhetorician and literary critic interested in how we use symbols, Burke described the human being as the symbol-making, symbol-using and symbol-misusing animal. He argued that our interpretations, perceptions, judgements and attitudes are all influenced and 'deflected' by the symbols that we make, use and misuse, and that we are at the same time used by these symbols. This implies that we can approach the world either symbol-wise or symbol-foolish. This conference wants to explore how rhetorical concepts can be used as tools - equipment - to make students, teachers, scholars and citizens symbol-wise: to understand the way linguistic, cultural, narrative... symbols work, and to develop critical engagement with, as well as on behalf of, those symbols. It furthermore wants to explore if and how rhetoric can still be relevant in a world that is becoming ever more complex and paradoxical by political, economic and cultural differences on a global scale. In what will be the first major conference devoted to Kenneth Burke outside the United States, we aspire to introduce the ideas of this seminal thinker to disciplines that might benefit from them. We therefore welcome both paper abstracts as panel proposals that broadly explore the topic of Rhetoric as Equipment for Living from the perspective of education, citizenship, literature, literacy, technology, games, (new) media... and from the perspective of disciplines such as pedagogy, social work, psychology, cultural studies, management and communication. The committee especially welcomes contributions that examine the possible use of rhetoric for education or educators, as well as contributions that explore affinities between Burke and European scholars or scholarship, or that apply new rhetoric to political, economic or social issues. Details: Conference dates: May 22-25th 2013 CFP deadline: January 15th 2013 CFP decision: by February 15th 2013 Registration starts: February 15th 2013

11th Global Conference: Monsters and the Monstrous

11th Global Conference Monsters and the Monstrous Thursday 18th July - Saturday 20th July 2013 Mansfield College, Oxford Call for Presentations This inter and trans-disciplinary project examines all things monstrous; whether real or imagined, ideological or cultural, historic or futuristic. Building on the discussion points of the previous meeting, this year's event will focus upon points of concentration within issues raised at last years events as well as examining certain aspects of the current ubiquity of particular monsters in contemporary popular culture. Presentations, papers, reports, work-in-progress, workshops and pre-formed panels are invited on issues related to any of the following themes: - Humans as monsters and monsters as humans: Popular media sensationalism and fascination around humans as mass murderers, serial killers and pedophiles (Hitler, Ted Bundy, Jimmy Saville etc) and films such as Saw and Hostel where monsters are very much part of our everyday environment whilst figures such as Dexter and vegetarian vampires, that only kill animals or bad people, are considered heroes. - The Zombie Apocalypse: the ubiquity of the zombie in popular culture both of what we are now and what we will/might become. As a political, ideological figure but also its continuing humanification in literature and film (Warm Bodies, Breathers, Wasting Away, Zombie Neighbour etc) - Contagion, infection and disease: The continual fears around over population, invasion and infection causing, or caused by ecological, biological or technological virus's. Hybridity, mutation and cultural death-drive. - Translation, appropriation and interpretation: The movement of monsters across time and cultures. How historical monsters have changed in later manifestations and how different cultures view, appropriate and reinterpret monsters from other nations (ie vampires moving from Europe to the USA, to Japan and back again) - Children and monsters: Children as the target of monsters, children and childhood as monstrous. Monstrous babies and births, adults in children's bodies. Child vampires, zombies, demons and ghosts. - Possession: The popularity of films and narratives around the theme of possession and mind control and the resultant anxieties over identity and the 'true' self. Demon possession, as in Paranormal Activity and The Devil Inside, Compelling, glamouring and mind control, as in Vampire Diaries and True Blood. - The resurgence of faeries and fairy tales, as seen in series such as True Blood, Once Upon a Time, Grimm and Haven, and how not all monsters are bad or can only exist in relation to a pre-existing script? - The continuing use of Nazi's and Nazism as a short-hand for cultural and ideological monstrosity, as in Frostbite, Dead Snow, Hell Boy 1 and 2 , Iron Sky. All of the above can also be considered in relation to cultural and geographical specificity, gender and sexuality, ethnicity and historical approaches. What to Send: 300 word abstracts should be submitted by Friday 15th March 2013. If an abstract is accepted for the conference, a full draft paper should be submitted by Friday 31st May 2013. 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: Monsters11 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.
