Culture & Power Seminar
Under the auspices of the Iberian Association for Cultural Studies (IBACS)
The 14th International 'Culture & Power' Conference: 'IDENTITY AND
IDENTIFICATION'
Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha,
Departamento de Filología Moderna
Facultad de Letras,
Ciudad Real, Spain
22-24 April, 2010
Questions of identity and identification are among the most important
evolving concerns of Cultural Studies today. Indeed, many thinkers,
theorists and academics working in the interdisciplinary field of cultural
studies continue to wrestle with these slippery concepts in their
explorations of "the production and inculcation of culture or maps of
culture" (Chris Barker). Commonly apprehended as contingent, culturally
specific and socially produced, identity is often conceived of as the
result of a whole range of different, possible identifications linked to
specific modalities of power under specific social and historical
conjunctures, hence, the unstable and fluctuating nature of identity and
identity formation. The tension between self-description and social
ascription is fundamental for individuals and groups to construct,
negotiate, defend and resist their self-understanding. Through a process
of personal identification with discursively constructed subject
positions, i
dentities emerge across a wide range of cultural practices in the course
of social interactions involving the use of language and other semiotic
systems manifested in cultural artefacts of various kinds.
This conference invites 20-minute papers addressing the topic of
'identity' and 'identification' from a wide range of perspectives within
Cultural Studies. Although other topics may be considered, we welcome
papers dealing with, but not being limited to, issues such as the
following:
1. Theorizing identity construction and identification processes from
a (variety of) cultural studies perspective(s): identities as
discursive-performative / unstable / multiple / fragmented / projects /
constructed and negotiated / narratives of the self / etc.
2. Methods and perspectives for examining identity-construction and
identification processes in culture and society: post-structuralist,
feminist, psychocritical, discursive, linguistic, Marxist, Queer Theory,
postmodern, ecocritic, postcolonial, etc.
3. From social and cultural identities to subjectivity and the self:
dimensions of and interrelations between identity production, consumption,
commodification, regulation, inculcation, and representation.
4. Identity and genre: identities in fiction, drama, poetry, film,
television, print media, politics, advertising, education, the
institutional, the Internet, etc. The role of cultural artefacts in
identity-construction processes within circuits of culture in society.
5. Identity at the crossroads of cultural studies with its
disciplinary neighbours (literary theory, sociology, linguistics,
discourse studies, anthropology, media and communication studies, history,
geography, musicology, philosophy, etc.).
6. Challenging, questioning and subverting identities:
re-constructing, -inventing, -cycling, -visiting, -creating, -locating,
-discovering, -examining, -jecting, -producing, -thinking, -versing,
-vising, -vitalising, -reading, -writing identities in culture and
cultural artefacts.
7. Gender, sex, race, ethnicity, class, age, citizenship and religion
issues: identity politics, hybridisation, border identities and
subcultures.
8. The discourses of local, regional, national and trans-national
identities: tensions between globalisation and nationalisms.
9. Identity and identification across cultural practices: diasporas,
memory, trauma and body politics.
10. Identity and visual culture: intertextuality, multimodality, and the
dialogue between the arts.
11. Historicizing identities: cultural history and the criticism of
historical identities.
12. Identity and popular culture.
13. Identity in the Information and Communication society: e-identities,
cyber-identities, virtual identities.
