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.
