Researching Culture: An International Interdisciplinary Conference
Date: 10-12 September 1999
Location: University of North London
Hosted by the University of North London, 10-12 September 1999 with Ien
Ang, Aijaz Ahmad, Jeffrey Richards, Angela McRobbie and over 60 papers in
concurrent panels over 3 days.
Today no single discipline owns the study of culture. This is an expanding
field of analysis across philosophy, anthropology, sociology, cultural and
media studies, literature and film studies, history, political economy, and
more. We inhabit a cultural world in which globalisation may homogenise,
but in which multi-cultural identities, hybridity and fundamentalisms
define and redefine culture.
This conference brings together researchers from a wide range of
backgrounds to make sense of what Frederic Jameson termed the egigantic
explosion of the culturali in modern times. With more than 60 papers in
concurrent panels over 3 days, there will be opportunity for wide ranging,
interdisciplinary discussion. The Researching Culture conference will be
formally opened by the Rt. Hon. Chris Smith, MP, Minister for Culture, and
hosted by Professor Elizabeth Wilson.
