Montreal, QC.
CALL FOR PAPERS
The Department of Art History and Communication Studies at 捆绑SM社区
University is pleased to announce this year鈥檚 graduate symposium,
鈥淭he Everyday: Lived Realities and Other Fictions鈥�. The symposium
will be held at the Department of Art History and Communication
Studies at 捆绑SM社区 on Friday, April 23rd, 2010. Graduate
students at the M.A. or Ph.D. level from all disciplines are
invited to submit abstracts for presentations of twenty
minutes. Participation in the symposium provides a great
opportunity to present scholarly research, meet graduate students
from a variety of different fields, and benefit from engaged
discussions as well as valuable responses to papers. Exceptional
papers may also be selected for publication.
This year鈥檚 symposium will explore the various moments that make up
our everyday. We wish to engage with the tensions that emerge
between the real (concrete) and the perceived (represented) that
manifest themselves within everyday practices that occur in
specific moments in time within particular places - whether lived
or imagined. The everyday, through its lived realities and other
fictions, can become more than just our requisite critical
鈥榗ontext鈥�, it has the potential to become a, or perhaps the, common
site of collective mediation.
As an interdisciplinary symposium we invite papers from various
fields, possible presentations could pertain to: film, music, art,
literature, architecture, communication, media, archives, gender
and corporality, and the city, amongst others.
Papers in both English and French are welcome.
Keynote Speaker: TBA
Successful participants will be notified by February 15th, 2010.
