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

> 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
> Submission site:
