>British Marxist Historians, the Social Movements Group is organising a 2nd
>International Conference for Summer 2004, exploring the theme of the
>construction of images, representations and articulations of social
>movements.

>The effectiveness of social movements has always relied not only upon the
>political activity and its theoretical conception, but also upon its
>cultural representation and aesthetics. The changing media, cultural and
>technological landscape has transformed the means and media by which social
>movements can create and contest their 'image', and how others create and
>contest images of them. This conference aims to bring together social
>movement researchers across the social sciences and humanities in
>considering questions of conception, process and outcomes in the imaging
>social movements - past, present and future. Indicative strands include:
>
>Ø Social Movements and the Internet
>Ø Social Movements and Popular Film
>Ø The Mechanics of Representation
>Ø Narratives/Literatures and Social Movements
>Ø Media construction of Opposition
>Ø The Documentary Tradition
>Ø Performance of Subversion
>Ø Social Movements and Popular TV
>Ø Imaging Resistance and Cultural Politics

>presentations. Send proposals with abstract of 150-200 words by 25th April
