On Whose Terms? Critical Negotiations in Black British Literature and the Arts
13-14 March, 2008,
at Goldsmiths College, University of London, UK
This conference focuses upon local, international and transnational engagements with Black British literature and the arts in relation to its production, reception and cultural position. Through the multiple disciplines of the arts, it creates a meeting point for prominent and emerging scholars, writers and practitioners in order to explore the impact of this field, both at home and abroad. The context is one of critical investigation and celebration; a journey along diasporic and aesthetic routes.
We invite papers across a broad spectrum of interests: drama, poetry, prose, performance, film, visual arts, curating, arts management and history. Areas of discussion might connect with the following ideas:
(i) At home and abroad ¬ sights and sites of reception
(ii) Securing credentials
(iii) Historicising the field
(iv) Publishing
(v) Celebrate or segregate ¬ the problematics of a Black British canon
(vi) Arts bodies, cultural policy and education
(vii) Sexual/textual practices
(viii) Carnival and Spectacle
