[Discussion] Identity & Space

[Gonul]

Identity & Space: An Interdisciplinary Conference and Publication

  May 2-3, 2003
  SUNY-Binghamton
  Binghamton, New York

  We solicit papers from any discipline to explore the relationship
between
  identity, visuality, and space. We aim to examine the formation of
identities in
  physical, social, temporal, and discursive spaces. How does identity
interact
  with the physical? What are the temporal understandings of identity?
How
  might the discursive field limit and produce identity? What are the
social
  expressions of identity?

  Possible topics include:

       INSTITUTIONAL SPACES: academia, museums, religion, government
       URBAN SPACES: urban architecture, public art, city planning and
policy,
       ethnic enclaves, suburbia, graffiti
       MARGINAL & LIMINAL SPACES: peripheries, frontiers, mortuaries,
       outsider art, the Other, hybridity
       COLONIAL/POSTCOLONIAL SPACES: subject formation, decolonization,
       anticolonialism, resistance
       NATIONAL/TRANSNATIONAL SPACES: globalization, circulation of
       objects, immigration, virtual communities, diasporas, tourism and
travel
       PERFORMATIVE SPACES: gender and the body, sexuality, race,
       ceremony, theater, fashion
       COMMERCIAL SPACES: advertising, consumerism, popular culture,
       patronage, the art market
       REPRESENTATION & SPACE: representations of space, city/landscape
       illustrations, cartography, graphics of places
