1st Global Conference
Space and Place
Wednesday 14th September to Friday 16th September 2011
Mansfield College, Oxford, United Kingdom
Call for Papers
Questions of space and place affect the very way
in which we experience and recreate the world.
Wars are fought over both real and imagined
spaces; boundaries are erected against the Other
constructed a lived landscape of division and
disenfranchisement; and ideology constructs a
national identity based upon the dialectics of
inclusion and exclusion. The construction of space
and place is also a fundamental aspect of
the creative arts either through the art of
reconstruction of a known space or in establishing
a relationship between the audience and the
performance. Politics, power and knowledge are
also fundamental components of space as is the
relationship between visibility and invisibility.
This new inter- and multi-disciplinary conference
project seeks to explore these and other topics
and open up a dialogue about the politics and
practices of space and place. We seek submissions
from a range of disciplines including archaeology,
architecture, urban geography, the visual and
creative arts, philosophy and politics and
also actively encourage practioners and
non-academics with an interest in the topic to
participate.
We welcome traditional papers, preformed panels of
papers, workshop proposals and other forms of
performance - recognising that different
disciplines express themselves in different
mediums. Submissions are sought on any aspect of
space and place, including the following:
1. Theorising Space and Place
* Philosophies and space and place
* Surveillance, sight and the panoptic structures
and spaces of contemporary life
* Rhizomatics and/or postmodernist constructions
of space as a meshwork of paths (Ingold: 2008)
* The relationship between spatiality and
temporality/space as a temporal-spatial event
(Massey: 2005)
* The language and semiotics of space and place
2. Situated Identities
* Gendered spaces including the tension between
domestic and public spheres
* Work spaces and hierarchies of power
* Geographies and archaeologies of space including
Orientalism and Occidentalism
* Ethnic spaces/ethnicity and space
* Disabled spaces/places
* Queer places and spaces
3. Contested spaces
* The politics and ideology of constructions and
discourses of space and place including the
construction of gated communities as a
response to real/imagined terrorism.
* The relationship between power, knowledge and
the construction of place and space
* Territorial wars, both real and imagined.
* The relationship between the global and the local
* Barriers, obstructions and disenfranchisement in
the construction of lived spaces

* Transnational and translocal places
4. Representations of place and space
* Embodied/disembodied spaces

film, television and theatre
