CALL FOR PAPERS

Subversive Re/Viewing: Readings, Communities, Practices
Faculty of Media, Art and Communications
University of Gloucestershire, UK
2nd December 2006

An interdisciplinary one-day event, this conference seeks to reconsider
the meaning of the subversive by investigating current practices and
readings across the fields of art, media, film and cultural studies.
This opportunity to 're/view' invites work that looks again... looks
awry... offers alternative readings... re-visualises... Its aim is to
highlight they ways in which identities are being re-voiced and
re-articulated across a wide range of cultural phenomena. Suggested
areas for re-investigation include:

Subversive Readings:
- queer readings
- readings of subversive genders and sexualities in art, media and film
- readings of subversive heterosexuality
- readings of the erotic and sexual representation

Subversive Communities:
- fan cultures
- subcultural communities
- queer communities
- audiences

Subversive Practices:
- re-visualising digital film/experimental media practices
- visual art practice - looking awry
- interrogations of the production and consumption of cultural 'artefacts'
- queer filmmaking

Papers, presentations, and exhibitions of practical work that take up
the broad conference themes are invited. It is envisaged that this
conference will appeal to those researching from a wide spectrum of
approaches in relation to identity, sexuality, and gender. As such, it
is a unique opportunity for practitioners and theoreticians to
participate in panels ranging across subversive readings, communities
and practices.
