Power demands intellectual debate, engagement and intervention in fields as diverse as literary studies, visual culture, performance studies, political theory and cultural studies. Contemporary critical assessments of power continuously re-imagine the modes of representation, construction and production possible within different hegemonic forms. This conference will broaden the spectrum of critical inquiry by exploring new and competing ways of perceiving power.
Caren Irr (Brandeis University) and Leah Price (Harvard University) will give plenary talks at the conference.
Possible paper and panel topics include:
- Poetics of Power
- Activist Literature
- Panopticism and Print Culture
- Politics and Representation
- Imperialist and Nationalist Cartographies
- Performing Resistance
- Forgetting Foucault
- Different Ethics: Badiou, Levinas, Spinoza
- Early Cinematic Representations of Power
- Media Wars
- Sovereignty, Monarchy and the Law
- Sex, Gender, Sexuality and Power
- Subcultures and Subversion
- Power in the Ivory Tower
