Postgraduate Interdisciplinary Conference

This international conference is being organised by doctoral students 
for doctoral students and will consider how concepts of reading impact 
on different areas of research.

"Reading" is intended to be interpreted in a wide sense, to include the 
reading of, for example images, buildings, inscriptions, theatre, music 
or dance performances and other creative productions, as well as books 
and manuscripts.

Following the success of last year’s conference on ‘Constructing 
Identities’, this conference will represent a variety of disciplines 
including Architecture, Cultural Studies, English, Fine Art, History, 
Journalism, Modern Languages, Music, Philosophy, Politics, Religious 
Studies and Welsh, providing a framework for interdisciplinary 
cross-fertilisation.

Proposals for panels and papers are invited from PhD students across 
Wales and the UK. The deadline for proposals is 16 March 2007 and 
current panels include:

* Representations of Empire
* Readerships – the impact of audience
* Clothing and the Body
* Reading the Land – urban/rural environments and archaeology
* Reading the Media
* Reading the Past – history and new historicism in literature
* Reading Performance
* Listening & the Oral Tradition – Music and the spoken word
* Lost in Translation?
* Off the Page – including inscriptions and embroidery
* Between the Lines
* Reading the Hand - manuscripts
* Reading Gender

To convene a panel or submit a paper, please send a 300-word abstract of 
the paper’s contribution to the conference theme (with the panel title 
in the subject line) to Readingconference at cardiff.ac.uk. Papers should 
be 20 minutes maximum and proposals should include contact details and a 
brief biographical note.
