[csaa-forum] FLUX: University of Melbourne Postgraduate Conference

[Ryan Johnston]

FLUX:	The University of Melbourne School of Art History, Cinema, 
Classics and Archaeology’s (AHCCA) FINAL Postgraduate Association 
Conference will be held on the 9th and 10th of November 2006.

To mark the end of AHCCA in 2006 the Postgraduate Association is 
holding a two day conference on the subject of FLUX.  With its 
connotations of flow and fusion, of formation, dissolution and 
reformulation, FLUX reflects both the interdisciplinary spirit of this 
year’s conference and the current status of AHCCA within The University 
of Melbourne.

Papers are now invited that consider and/or engage with the theme of 
FLUX from a range of perspectives in Art History, Cinema Studies, 
Classics, Near Eastern, Mediterranean and Classical Archaeology, 
Curatorship and Conservation, as well as other related disciplines 
within the humanities.  Papers are welcome from all postgraduate 
students across Australia and New Zealand.

Topics might include:
•	the politics and poetics of change, transition, and/or regression
•	creation/destruction, commencement/closure
•	memory, nostalgia, regret
•	obsolescence and/or renewal
•	metamorphosis and mutation
•	political instabilities
•	the reformulation of empires and borders
•	globalisation, migration and citizenship
•	resisting, reclaiming, or rewriting orthodoxies
•	the effects of time and/or space on the subjects of material culture
•	the vernacular
•	perspective, spectacle, display
•	changing forums for cultural production and exhibition
       (museums, galleries, theatres, workshops, screens)
•	the negotiation and articulation of identity
•	birth, rebirth, death, the afterlife

You may choose to submit:
•	An individual paper
