[ecrea] Conference CFP: For What It's Worth: Nostalgia, Sustainability and the Values of the Present

Fri Oct 23 07:03:01 GMT 2015




For What It's Worth: Nostalgia, Sustainability and the Values of the
Present, 28 - 30 April 2016

An Interdisciplinary Graduate Conference in Celebration of the Tenth
Anniversary of the International Graduate Centre for the Study of
Culture at Justus Liebig University, Giessen, to be held on 28-30 April
2016.



Keynote Lectures:

Prof. Mita Banerjee (Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz)

Prof. Nicholas Brown (University of Illinois, Chicago)



The aim of the conference is to investigate the implications of
sustainability as a cultural concept. In particular, the conference will
explore the complex temporality of seeking to protect past values for
the future, and will attempt to answer the question: how do we decide
which aspects of culture should be sustained, and which should give way
to change and development?


Papers are invited from across the humanities and social sciences, and
interdisciplinary contributions are also welcomed. For more details on
suggested fields of research and the application process please check
the Call for Papers.
