Dear CSAA-ers,

The Space, Race, Bodies—Geocorpographies of the City, Nation and Empire conference is still open for registrations (and late abstracts) until the end of the month. The conference will take place at the University of Otago, New Zealand, from the 8-10th December, 2014.


Keynote speakers include:



- Professor Joseph Pugliese, Research Director, Media, Music, Communication and Cultural Studies, Macquarie University

· Professor Denise Ferreira da Silva, Inaugural Chair in Ethics, Director, Centre for Ethics and Politics, University of London

· Associate Professor Jasbir K. Puar, Women’s and Gender Studies, Rutgers University

· Associate Professor Jacinta Ruru, Faculty of Law, University of Otago

· Associate Professor Susan Stryker, Director of the Institute for LGBT Studies, University of Arizona



The title of the conference is taken from Joseph Pugliese’s ground-breaking work on technologies of surveillance, law and terrorism. The conceptual merging of the corporeal body with geography—geocorpographies—draws attention to the institutional, cultural and legal forces that influence the global movement of people, capital and technology across cities and national borders.


Space, Race, Bodies is an interdisciplinary conference and will also feature papers under the general theme of Somatechnics research on the intersections between bodies, media and technologies.

Please send inquiries to the conference committee at: Space.Race.Bodies at otago.ac.nz<mailto:%20Space.Race.Bodies at otago.ac.nz> and visit our website for further information: http://www.otago.ac.nz/mfco/research/otago071039.html

Best,
Holly.

"Under Thatcher, who ruled us with an iron rod, great art was made. Amazing designers and musicians. Acid house was born. Very colourful and progressive.
Now, no one’s got anything to say. Write a song? No thanks, I’ll say it on Twitter. It’s a sad state when more people retweet than buy records" - Noel Gallagher
