[ecrea] CfP The Politics of Representation - Graduate Conference

Sat Apr 23 13:15:03 GMT 2016




*CfP - The Politics of Representation - Graduate Conference*

The Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Westminster is pleased to host the first event of the recently founded New Perspectives Series, an initiative by the DPIR graduate community that aims at promoting critical and cutting-edge research among doctoral- and early-career-researchers. The first installment of the series wishes to engage with (and challenge) the idea of ‘representation’, a prolific and widely utilized concept in political and international analysis with often take-for-granted implications.

We welcome submissions by doctoral researchers that explore approaches to representation through a multi-disciplinary lens, and invite paper-submissions that touch upon one or several of the following thematic complexes:

- Theories of political affects
- Embodiment and corporeal experience
- Network- and assemblage-theories
- Performativity and experimentation
- Non-representational agency in global affairs
- Ethics of (non)-representations
- Direct action, activism, the politics of the everyday
- Feasibility of immanent politics
- Spatializing practices and the politics of space
- Power and (non)-representation
- Discursive representation of (in)-security
- The unknown as a discursive space
- Representations of danger
- Representation, insecurity, and culture/identity
- Representing danger through counter-narratives

Abstract-submissions should be limited to 300 words and need to be accompanied by a 100-words biography. Manuscripts must have an approximate length of 2.000 – 8.000 words. Please submit both via (newperspectives /at/ westminster.ac.uk) <mailto:(newperspectives /at/ westminster.ac.uk)>

Deadline for abstract submission: Sunday, 24 April 2016
Conference paper submission: Monday, 30 May 2016

Please submit abstracts via (newperspectives /at/ westminster.ac.uk) <mailto:(newperspectives /at/ westminster.ac.uk)> Please visit https://newperspectivesseries.wordpress.com/portfolio/call-for-papers-2/

The organizers are please to announce a best-paper-competition that will reward a piece of rigorous and innovative research with a £ 100 book voucher. The author will also receive the opportunity to present his or her work ahead of the Keynote Event.

Participation and registration is free of charge.
