Strategies of
Critique
The Graduate Programme in Social & Political Thought Announces
a Call for Papers for its Annual Student Conference:
STRATEGIES OF CRITIQUE 14: WHAT IS POLITICAL?
March 24-25, 2000 / York University
There is much
debate on what,
precisely, it is when we speak of politics and the political. Is everything political? Does this mean nothing
is political? What or
where are the politics of
government? What are the politics of defining the political? What is the relation between the
political and other discourses: economics, gender, sexuality, technology, race, and so forth?
Where is the political? Are there places where the political is absent? Is there an urgency to the
political?
Keeping in mind these questions, we seek proposals which attempt to shed light on the political
and politics. We encourage proposals which focus on the following themes but all proposals
related to the conference will be considered.
The Poverty of Globalization
The Politics of Race, Class, and Gender
"Marxish": Limits of Orthodoxy and Transgression
Sexual Politics: Sub-Missionary Positions
Art, Aesthetics, and Propaganda
Future States
Traditions and Institutions: On the Future Past
The Public Statement
Unconscious Nation
Echos of Empire: Colonized Possessions
Cases of the Political
