CITYSCAPES:
Perspectives from Modern and Contemporary Culture

Keynote Speaker:
Edward W. Soja (UCLA)

July 8-10, 2004
The National Library of Wales and the University of Wales, Aberystwyth

The deadline for paper proposals has been extended to December 5, 2003.
Please submit abstracts (400 words) and a short academic biography (100
words) to Dr Christoph Lindner (cil@aber.ac.uk). Email submissions are
preferred. A selection of the conference papers will be published as an
edited book.

This international and interdisciplinary conference will examine
constructions, representations, imaginations, and theorizations of
'cityscapes' from the early twentieth century through to the present.
Thinking through and across disciplinary/period boundaries, the conference
will seek in particular to bring together perspectives on urban culture from
scholars across the humanities and social sciences. Further information
about the conference, including the full call-for-papers, is available on
the conference website:
