The third annual ASNR conference at California State University, Sacramento invites papers that address the politics or politicization of play and performance, festival and frivolity. This interdisciplinary conference provides a forum for considering manifestations of play and performance at macro- and micro-levels of everyday life, both historically and contemporarily. We invite abstracts for papers in the humanities and social sciences that address the following or related ideas:
How play/performance rejects, subverts or maintains normative values across contexts, societies, and time periods;
How forms of play and performance are deployed tactically to achieve particular ends;
If particular forms or areas of play and performance are erased or "left out" from both local and global analyses;
How these moments articulate the lives of performers and audience;
What are the discursive stakes of referring to social and cultural events and practices as play?
Dates: April 18-19, 2008
The conference is open to scholars of all ranks. Please submit a 250 word abstract by February 10, 2008 to asnr@csus.edu.
