Re-Imagining Power
The 2nd Annual Brandeis University English Conference
March 11, 2005

Plenary Speakers:
Caren Irr, Brandeis University
Leah Price, Harvard University

Call for Papers
Power demands intellectual debate, engagement and intervention in fields as
diverse as literary studies, visual culture, performance studies, political
theory and cultural studies.  Contemporary critical assessments of power
continuously re-imagine the modes of representation, construction and
production possible within different hegemonic forms.  This conference will
broaden the spectrum of critical inquiry by exploring new and
competing ways of perceiving power.

Possible paper and panel topics include:
Poetics of Power
Activist Literature
Panopticism and Print Culture
Politics and Representation
Imperialist and Nationalist Cartographies
Performing Resistance
Forgetting Foucault
Different Ethics: Badiou, Levinas, Spinoza
Early Cinematic Representations of Power
Media Wars
Sovereignty, Monarchy and the Law
Sex, Gender, Sexuality and Power
Subcultures and Subversion
Power in the Ivory Tower
Ideology, Reification and the Commodity
