In association with the Ocean of Stories conference there will be a  
Postgraduate and Early Career Researchers Masterclass held on the  
afternoon of Wednesday 6th February 2008. A subsidy of $250 per  
person towards travel and accommodation costs is available. Please  
email expressions of interest to Dr .Lola Sharon Davidson at  
Indian.Ocean at uts.edu.au.


This conference follows on from a conference entitled “Culture and  
Commerce in the Indian Ocean” which was held in Leiden, The  
Netherlands, 25th – 27th September 2006


That conference was about cultural and commercial relationships and  
patterns in the Indian Ocean from pre- to post-colonial times. It had  
as its aim to bring the interdisciplinary paradigm of Cultural  
Studies to the Indian Ocean, building on the already substantial work  
done in Anthropology, History, Geography, International Studies and  
other social and political disciplines.


These studies have already been connected in significant ways to  
elaborate the description of Indian Ocean culture. Cultural Studies  
suggests further avenues for thought and analysis which this workshop  
will develop and discuss.  In particular it will focus on:


* the social circulation of objects, cultural values, stories and  
languages
* contemporary popular cultures: music, film and other arts
* inter-colonial labour networks
* old and new cosmopolitan subjectivities
* political ecology of the Indian Ocean
* narrative, poetics and cultural value
* environments, ecologies, naturecultures
