[ecrea] CFP: Spaces of Cultural Performance, CSA 2011

>Final CFP, CSA 2011 Annual Meeting:
>
>"Spaces of Cultural Performance"
>
>The Environment, Space, and Place Division (ESPD) seeks participants 
>for the Ninth Annual Cultural Studies Association Meeting, to be 
>held Columbia College Chicago, Chicago IL, 24-26 March, 2011.
>
>In keeping with the conference theme of "New Directions in Cultural 
>Studies," papers are solicited for sessions addressing Spaces of 
>Cultural Performance. "Cultural performance" is taken to mean both 
>the exercise of singular and temporary events  as well as broader 
>and more long-term curated spaces and events such as museums, 
>exhibitions, festivals, rituals, etc.  All of these are framed by 
>the spaces in which they occur, and involve "staging" to convey 
>cultural meaning to an audience over a limited period of time, 
>either formally or informally.   Indeed, the tension between formal 
>and informal cultural performance is a possible departure point for 
>these papers and sessions.  Cultural reproduction versus resistance 
>and subversion is another potential area of consideration.  And 
>there are many other angles as well. We welcome all interested proposals.
>
>
>Persons interested in submitting papers for consideration should 
>send the following:
>
>*           A 500-word abstract for your paper
>
>*           Name, email address, phone number, institutional 
>affiliation, and department.
>
>*           List of audiovisual equipment needed for your 
>presentation, if any.
>
>All materials must be submitted by September 12, 2010.
>
