[ecrea] CfP - The Politics of Representation - Graduate Conference

Thu Apr 14 16:40:26 GMT 2016





Dear all,

Please, find below the Call for Papers for the upcoming Graduate Student
Conference at the University of Westminster. We would be grateful if you
could spread it widely among your network.

*** Deadline Extended ** - 24th April 2016*

*CfP - The Politics of Representation - Graduate Conference*

The Department of Politics and International Relations at the University
of Westminster is pleased to host the first event of the recently
founded New Perspectives Series, an initiative by the DPIR graduate
community that aims at promoting critical and cutting-edge research
among doctoral- and early-career-researchers. The first installment of
the series wishes to engage with (and challenge) the idea of
‘representation’, a prolific and widely utilized concept in political
and international analysis with often take-for-granted implications.

We welcome submissions by doctoral researchers that explore approaches
to representation through a multi-disciplinary lens, and invite
paper-submissions that touch upon one or several of the following
thematic complexes:

- Theories of political affects
- Embodiment and corporeal experience
- Network- and assemblage-theories
- Performativity and experimentation
- Non-representational agency in global affairs
- Ethics of (non)-representations
- Direct action, activism, the politics of the everyday
- Feasibility of immanent politics
- Spatializing practices and the politics of space
- Power and (non)-representation
- Discursive representation of (in)-security
- The unknown as a discursive space
- Representations of danger
- Representation, insecurity, and culture/identity
- Representing danger through counter-narratives

Abstract-submissions should be limited to 300 words and need to be
accompanied by a 100-words biography. Manuscripts must have an
approximate length of 2.000 – 8.000 words. Please submit both via
(newperspectives /at/ westminster.ac.uk) <mailto:(newperspectives /at/ westminster.ac.uk)>

Deadline for abstract submission: Sunday, 24 April 2016
Conference paper submission: Monday, 30 May 2016

Please submit abstracts via (newperspectives /at/ westminster.ac.uk)

her work ahead of the Keynote Event.
