[Bilimsel Haber] CFP: Comedy and Identity: Multidisciplinary Conference (1/15/06; 7/15/06-7/16/06)

[Sule Tarakcioglu]

From: CHARLIE BLAKE <blakec@hope.ac.uk>

This conference on Comedy and Identity has been organized by Liverpool Hope
University and the Liverpool Comedy Trust to coincide with the Liverpool 
Comedy
festival in July 2006. The intention is to stimulate multi- and
interdisciplinary debate, controversy and publication on the themes of 
humour,
laughter and the comic in its various aspects as they pertain to all
permutations of human identity. Examples of identity might include those
associated with social, political, religious, cultural or national 
identity, as
well as those aspects more specifically centred on gender, class, ethnicity,
queerness and (dis)ability, and post-identity areas such as difference,
becoming, virtuality, the inhuman and transversality. Delegates will 
have the
opportunity to engage not only with those in their field, but also with a
variety of comedy professionals, critics and skeptics in a variety of 
ambient
locations in the city of Liverpool.

Proposals with abstracts of not more than 200 words and a Curriculum 
Vitae in
English should be sent to Charlie Blake at blakec@hope.ac.uk or to Paddy 
Hoey at
hoeyp@hope.ac.uk by January 15th 2006
