[ecrea] CFP - Instability of Intellectual Property, Uppsala 2-4 July 2014

The Sixth Annual ISHTIP Workshop 2014

The Instability of Intellectual Property

Uppsala, Sweden JULY 2-4, 2014 http://www.ishtip.org/uppsala2014



Hosted by the Department of Archival Science, Library & Information 
Science and Museology & Heritage Studies (ALM), Uppsala University in 
collaboration with the Faculty of Law, Uppsala University and Linköping 
University



The International Society for the History and Theory of Intellectual 
Property (ISHTIP: http://www.ishtip.org/) invites to its sixth annual 
workshop. This time it will be held at Uppsala University and focus on 
the ways in which intellectual property moves and travels across 
disciplinary, legal, linguistic, and geopolitical borders. Instability 
can refer to the way intellectual property law seeks to pin down a legal 
regime for increasingly unstable works. Instability can refer to the 
interdisciplinarity of intellectual property scholarship, as it tries to 
navigate and expand across and beyond disciplinary traditions. 
Instability can refer to the many processes of cultural and legal 
translation and transculturation involved in flows of culture.

We encourage a broad variety of historical and/or contemporary topics 
that explore interdisciplinary and international aspects of intellectual 
property, engaging with the diversity and plurality of legal and 
linguistic traditions. We are particularly interested in receiving 
contributions that deploy a self-reflexive epistemological outlook on 
the study of intellectual property.



Possible topics include but are not limited to:

* translation and appropriation * perceptions of instability in 
different times and places and strategies deployed for dealing with that 
instability * transnationalism * legal borrowing * comparative legal and 
cultural studies * hybridity (in both cultural and legal terms, for 
instance scientific property) * processes of commodification and 
conversion * the interplay between international, regional and local 
law/culture * IP from below * ”centre-periphery” relations * 
interchanges, translations and borrowings between various intellectual 
properties and jurisdictions *



Submissions of paper proposals should be made to (ishtip2014 /at/ gmail.com) 
and include a 300 word abstract, a one paragraph author bio and two page 
CV. Deadline for submission of proposals is January 15, 2014.



Please note that after the workshop, presenters will be invited to 
submit revised papers for publication in a special issue of the 
peer-reviewed, open access journal Culture Unbound 
http://www.cultureunbound.ep.liu.se
