<td>On 12 and 13 March 2011, The Centre for British Studies,
Humboldt
University, Berlin is hosting a two-day conference on the History of
Juvenile Delinquency in the 19th and 20th Centuries: East-West
Comparisons. The conference organisers are Heather Ellis and Lily
Chang. We hope to bring together scholars working in a variety of
fields, including history, sociology and literary studies to explore
the ways in which concepts of childhood, youth and delinquency have
been shaped by particular cultural contexts. How have attempts to
define and problematize child and youth behaviours differed between
Eastern and Western cultures? Have children and childhood been imagined
differently in East and West?<br>
<br>
Paper topics include:<br>
<br>
* Definitions of juvenile delinquency<br>
* Cross-cultural constructions of children, childhood and youth<br>
* Delinquency as a Western/Eastern construct<br>
* Generational relations<br>
* Educational systems<br>
* Governmental and legal responses <br>
* Young people and revolution <br>
* Young people and war<br>
* Gender and delinquency<br>
* Class and delinquency<br>
* Race and delinquency<br>
* Sexuality and delinquency<br>
* Portrayals of delinquency in art or in the media<br>
<br>
We welcome proposals for both panels and individual papers. Abstracts
should be no more than 300 words. Please ensure that a title, your
name, affiliation and email address are included with your abstract.<br>
<br>
Registration forms will be available for downloading on the conference
