The Centre for Comparative Literature and
Cultural Studies organises an annual
postgraduate Colloquium, where postgraduate
students from the Centre and the wider Faculty
are able to share ideas. The Colloquium is an
opportunity for postgraduate students and
emerging scholars, conducting research in
literary studies, cultural studies or critical
theory, to present aspects of their work. The
Colloquium seeks to provide a forum for
stimulating academic exchange in a relaxed and
supportive atmosphere. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
The title of this yearâ??s Colloquium will be
'How Do I Look? â?? Aesthetics through Theory'.
While contemporary research in the humanities
considers a broad range of questions, aesthetics
arguably remains a central concern for us all.
The organisers invite potential participants to
reflect on their own research with regard to
contemporary considerations of aesthetics. The
overall intention remains the sharing of
original ideas and research; accordingly,
participants are under no obligation to narrow their focus.
Prospective participants are invited to present
a paper of 2530 minutes length (plus
discussion). Proposals should be emailed to
(colloquium09 /at/ arts.monash.edu.au) by 30th October.
Please include a title and an abstract of
100150 words. Presentations incorporating
audiovisual media are welcome. Please mention
any technical requirements and preferences as to date and time.
Poster attached.
