Identity & Space: An Interdisciplinary Conference and Publication

May 2-3, 2003
SUNY-Binghamton
Binghamton, New York

We solicit papers from any discipline to explore the relationship between identity, visuality, and space. We aim to examine the formation of identities in physical, social, temporal, and discursive spaces. How does identity interact with the physical? What are the temporal understandings of identity? How might the discursive field limit and produce identity? What are the social expressions of identity?

Possible topics include:

INSTITUTIONAL SPACES: academia, museums, religion, government
URBAN SPACES: urban architecture, public art, city planning and policy, ethnic enclaves, suburbia, graffiti
MARGINAL & LIMINAL SPACES: peripheries, frontiers, mortuaries, outsider art, the Other, hybridity
COLONIAL/POSTCOLONIAL SPACES: subject formation, decolonization, anticolonialism, resistance
NATIONAL/TRANSNATIONAL SPACES: globalization, circulation of objects, immigration, virtual communities, diasporas, tourism and travel
PERFORMATIVE SPACES: gender and the body, sexuality, race, ceremony, theater, fashion
COMMERCIAL SPACES: advertising, consumerism, popular culture, patronage, the art market
REPRESENTATION & SPACE: representations of space, city/landscape illustrations, cartography, graphics of places

Submit one-page (250 words) abstracts and CV by March 1, 2003.
