[ecrea] Call for papers: Intersections of Law and Culture Conference

Wed Jan 26 10:13:25 GMT 2011



Intersections of Law and Culture: Human Rights

The interdisciplinary conference "Intersections of Law and Culture" aims to investigate lawâ??s place in culture and cultureâ??s place in law. This focus proceeds from the twin premise that law, itself a cultural form, reacts to and is shaped by the cultural context in which it operates and that culture in turn is shaped by the regulative forces of law.

The emphasis of this second Intersections of Law and Culture conference is on human rights. What are the philosophical, literary and cultural points of references for the management of human rights? How have current notions and framings developed historically? What are the mechanisms by which cultural narratives and popular representations of human rights find their way into legal processes? How does law in turn bleed into and influence cultural practices, popular narratives and conceptions of human rights? What is the relationship between international efforts and framings of human rights and their local implementations?

We welcome single contributions (30 minutes), panel submissions (90 minutes, up to 3 panelists) and workshop sessions (180 minutes, up to 6 participants).

Deadline for submission: March 31, 2011
