Strange Attractors: Unpredictable Combinations in Historical and 
Cultural Contexts

In chaos theory, strange attractors can describe provisional patterns 
emerging from chaos as terms are brought together in equations. Applied 
to the humanities, the term ‘strange attractors’ not only suggests the 
influence of chaos theory and intersections with scientific theory, it 
also raises images of unlikely combinations, emerging connections and 
unstable meanings.

Limina: A Journal of Historical and Cultural Studies is seeking 20 
minute papers that explore the intersections suggested by the theme of 
‘strange attractors’.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
- order and disorder
- repeating patterns
- disciplinary intersections
- contingency and fragmentation
- dynamic systems
- limits of knowledge

Abstracts (maximum 200 words) are due by Monday 26 March to 
limina at cyllene.uwa.edu.au
