[Commlist] 16th Issei Conference - Aftershocks: Globalism and the future of democracy

Thu Feb 21 14:59:47 GMT 2019






CFP FOR THE 16TH INTERNATIONAL ISSEI CONFERENCE: _AFTERSHOCKS: GLOBALISM AND THE FUTURE OF DEMOCRACY_

FROM THE BORDER: A COSMOPOLITAN LOOK AT THE CINEMA OF GLOBALIZATION.

Global processes have affected identities and social relations in drastic ways. Beyond their positive and negative consequences, these processes have changed our ways of looking at and understanding our place in a fast-changing world. Cosmopolitan theories offer ways of looking at the various challenges posed by globalization, from politics and economics to culture and the arts. Alongside its aspirational dimension of envisioning a society of universal human rights and respect for diversity, Cosmopolitanism offers a methodology for researching political, social and cultural realities. Central to this enquiry, as several theorists have argued—Gloria Anzaldúa, Anthony Cooper and Chris Rumford, Sandro Mezzadra and Brett Neilson—are the concept of the border and the actual borders and borderlands that affect the life of growing numbers of people across the world.

Borders and their representations are also central topoi in the cinema of globalization and, as in the social sciences, they also provide a privileged vantage point from which to explore industrial, cultural and aesthetic developments in contemporary cinema. This workshop invites papers on films and audiovisual texts that explore global processes with a particular emphasis on borders, border-crossings and crossers, cross-border mobilities, border and borderland identities, urban borders, and spaces that are associated with. While proposing cosmopolitan theories as an aid to understanding the complexities, contradictions and tensions of cinematic constructions of the global, it also welcomes other perspectives and approaches to the cinema of globalization.
