Colonial and Postcolonial Spaces: an Interdisciplinary Conference

6-7 September 2007

Kingston University, Kingston Upon Thames, Surrey, England

Call for Papers

The issue of space, both as located place and abstract notion, is
central to the concerns of both colonial and postcolonial study.
'Colonial and Postcolonial Spaces' aims to investigate the diverse ways
in which colonial and postcolonial cultures have engaged with and/or can
be explored via the concept of 'space'. This is an interdisciplinary
conference, and the organisers welcome papers that deal with colonial
and/or postcolonial spaces from any theoretical approach or discipline
or from any historical period.

Themes and issues might include, but are not limited to:

- representations of boundaries/borders/crossings
- the connections between colonial and postcolonial spaces, abstract or
physical
- colonial and/or postcolonial geographies
- aesthetics and artistic space
- the relevance of theoretical spatial models to colonial and/or
postcolonial study
- individual 'spaces' such as journeys, nations, bodies, landscapes,
built spaces, and their re-imagining in colonial and/or postcolonial
contexts

Proposals of 300 words, along with a short biography, should be
submitted by sending an email attachment (MS Word) to
