[Bilimsel Haber] CFP: Panic and Mourning - 1st Graduate Conference in Culture Studies

[Gonul Pultar]

*Call for Papers*

The Research Centre for Communication and Culture presents:

*PANIC AND MOURNING**
*1st GRADUATE CONFERENCE IN CULTURE STUDIES**
October 28-29, 2010

Portuguese Catholic University
Lisbon , Portugal

 

*Deadline for submissions: June 30, 2010*

 

Panic and mourning are two distinct emotional constructs that often 
intersect and interplay in landscapes of conflict, violence, crisis, 
tragedy and catastrophe, both natural and man-made. Whereas panic tends 
to occur during the experience of the catastrophic events, mourning, on 
the other hand, relates to the aftermath of a violent disruption and to 
the way humans try to make sense of it retrospectively. Conversely, 
violent events can also leave a thread of panic in its aftermath, such 
as mourning can be disturbed or reinstated by a catastrophic occurrence.

This inter-disciplinary conference seeks to address questions at the 
interface of panic and mourning, both individually and jointly. We are 
particularly interested in investigating representations and 
performances of modalities and contexts of panic (fear, horror, terror, 
rage, anxiety, shock, threat) and mourning (pain, grief, loss, trauma, 
memory, melancholy, nostalgia, healing) in media, literary and cultural 
frameworks.

This conference wishes to bring together *doctoral students*, *Post-doc 
*and* junior researchers* from different areas and disciplines to share 
research interests and works-in-progress, learn and engage in fresh 
intellectual discussion with *international key academics* and build a 
community of young scholars.

 

Papers are welcome on the topics listed below, amongst others:

- The cultural construction of panic and mourning
- Representations of panic and mourning in literature and the arts
- Mediation and the mediatization of panic and mourning
- Panic and mourning as spectacle
- Tropes of panic and mourning between victimhood and agency
- Public and private rituals of panic and mourning
- Gendered discourses of panic and mourning
- The work of law in practices of mourning
- Transgenerational mourning and the heritage of collective loss
- Dimensions of panic: moral panic, technopanic, hyperpanic, media 
panic, voluptuous panic, global panic
- Power, governamentality, and the regulation of emotions
