[Commlist] CFP - Secondhand Cultures in Unsettled Times - Virtual Symposium

*Secondhand Cultures in Unsettled Times*

Interdisciplinary Virtual Symposium*,*/School of Journalism, Media & 
Culture, Cardiff University/

*15-16 June 2021*

*/Submissions due 23 April 2021/*

Secondhand cultures and practices, from reselling sites to charity shops 
and thrift stores to waste picking, have expanded and transformed over 
recent decades, with profound social, political, and environmental 
implications. Despite vibrant and growing research into secondhand 
worlds, opportunities to share and discuss this research across 
interdisciplinary boundaries have been rare. Further, secondhand 
cultures have been unsettled by the global pandemic in ways that are not 
yet well understood.

This virtual symposium invites scholars across disciplines to 
problematise and explore secondhand cultures in unsettled times. We 
invite contributions, not limited to this list, that critically discuss 
or explore:

  * Secondhand fashion cultures around the world
  * Thrift ethics
  * Secondhand practices & sustainability, waste and environmental concerns
  * Research methods for secondhand cultures
  * Thrift media (podcasts, social media accounts, etc.)
  * Secondhand making, design and craft
  * Histories of secondhand cultures
  * Secondhand work, labour, and justice
  * Secondhand reselling and ecommerce
  * Decolonising, abolitionism, and anti-racism in secondhand cultures
  * Gender and secondhand cultures
  * Disability, age, workforce and secondhand spaces
  * Underrepresented, marginalised or invisible secondhand practices
  * Teaching secondhand cultures
  * Secondhand futures – what’s next?

We invite contributions from any discipline, including but not limited 
to media and cultural studies; applied arts and design; geography and 
urban planning; history; gender studies; and the social sciences.

Contributions can take the form of 250-word abstracts for papers, panel 
and/or workshop proposals, or other forms of collective activity. We 
also would enthusiastically welcome any of the following: exhibitions; 
informal presentations; digital guided walks; reflection workshops; 
object-centred workshops; methods lightning talks; audio tours; 
upcycling or design workshops.

*Practitioners working in these fields are welcome to apply; students, 
scholars of colour, disability justice scholars, LGBTQ scholars, 
indigenous, precarious, and working class scholars encouraged to apply. 
Stipends can be made available.*

*Diwylliannau Ail-law Mewn Amseroedd Ansefydlog*

Symposiwm ar-lein rhyngddisgyblaethol

Ysgol Newyddiaduraeth, y Cyfryngau a Diwylliant, Prifysgol Caerdydd

*15-16 Mehefin 2021*

*/Cyflwyniadau yn ddyledus 23 Ebrill 2021/*

Mae diwylliannau ac arferion ail-law, o ailwerthu safleoedd, siopau 
elusennol a siopau ail-law i gasglu gwastraff, wedi ehangu a thrawsnewid 
dros y degawdau diwethaf, gyda goblygiadau cymdeithasol, gwleidyddol ac 
amgylcheddol helaeth. Er gwaethaf yr ymchwil fywiog a chynyddol i 
fydoedd ail-law, prin fu'r cyfleoedd i rannu a thrafod yr ymchwil hon ar 
draws ffiniau rhyngddisgyblaethol. Ac, ymhellach, mae’r pandemig 
byd-eang wedi tarfu ar ddiwylliannau ail-law mewn ffordd nad yw wedi’i 
ddeall yn llawn eto.

Mae'r symposiwm rhithwir hwn yn gwahodd ysgolheigion ar draws 
disgyblaethau i nodi bod hyn yn broblem ac archwilio diwylliannau 
ail-law mewn amseroedd ansefydlog. Rydym yn gwahodd cyfraniadau, heb fod 
yn gyfyngedig i'r rhestr hon, sy'n trafod neu'n archwilio'n feirniadol:

o             Diwylliannau ffasiwn ail-law ar draws y byd

o             Moeseg thrifftio

o             Arferion ail-law a phryderon ynghylch cynaliadwyedd, 
gwastraff a’r amgylchedd

o             Dulliau ymchwil ar gyfer diwylliannau ail-law

o             Cyfryngau thrifftio (podlediadau, cyfrifon cyfryngau 
cymdeithasol, ac ati)

o             Creu, dylunio a chrefft ail-law

o             Hanesion diwylliannau ail-law

o             Gwaith ail-law, llafur, a chyfiawnder

o             Ailwerthu ac e-fasnachu eitemau ail-law

o             Dad-drefedigaethu, diddymu, a gwrth-hiliaeth mewn 
diwylliannau ail-law

o             Rhywedd a diwylliannau ail-law

o             Anabledd, oedran, gweithlu a mannau ail-law

o             Arferion ail-law heb gynrychiolaeth ddigonol, ymylol neu 
anweledig

o             Addysgu am ddiwylliannau ail-law

o             Dyfodol ail-law - beth sydd nesaf?

Rydym yn gwahodd cyfraniadau gan unrhyw ddisgyblaeth, gan gynnwys ond 
heb fod yn gyfyngedig i’r cyfryngau ac astudiaethau diwylliannol; y 
celfyddydau a dylunio cymhwysol; daearyddiaeth a chynllunio trefol; 
hanes; astudiaethau rhywedd; a'r gwyddorau cymdeithasol.

Gallwch wneud cyfraniadau ar ffurf crynodebau 250 gair ar gyfer papurau, 
cynigion ar gyfer paneli ac/neu weithdai, neu weithgaredd arall sy’n 
annog pobl i gydweithio. Byddem hefyd yn croesawu unrhyw un o'r 
canlynol: arddangosfeydd; cyflwyniadau anffurfiol; teithiau tywys 
digidol; gweithdai myfyrio; gweithdai sy'n canolbwyntio ar wrthrychau; 
cyflwyniadau sydyn ynghylch dulliau; teithiau sain; gweithdai dylunio 
neu uwchgylchu.

*Mae croeso i ymarferwyr sy'n gweithio yn y meysydd hyn wneud cais; 
anogir myfyrwyr, ysgolheigion o liw, ysgolheigion cyfiawnder anabledd, 
ysgolheigion LGBTQ ac ysgolheigion brodorol, ansefydlog, a dosbarth 
gweithiol i ymgeisio. Gellir sicrhau bod cyflogau ar gael.*
