Emotions, Body, and Society Conference

Posted By: Helen Terre Blanche
Date: Tuesday, 10 September 2002, at 10:24 a.m.

8th Annual International Cultural Studies Symposium - Inside Outside In: Emotions, Body, and Society
21 to 23 May 2003, Izmir, Turkey

Both body and emotions have been approached through a
static and binary dichotomy between rational mind and
the irrational emotional body. This multidisciplinary
conference seeks papers from all relevant study areas on
the current debate.

In line with our commitment to promoting inter- and
multi-disciplinary dialogue and debate we therefore
encourage papers not only from within the cultural studies
arena, but also from social and political scientists,
literary scholars, artists, writers and performers, and the
fields of psychology, psychiatry, philosophy and media
studies. We invite contributions from both established
scholars and younger scholars seeking a forum for
original and innovative work.

The symposium is co-organized by: Ege University
Departments of English Language & Literature and
American Culture & Literature; The American Studies
Association of Turkey (ASAT); The British Council and the
Cultural Office of the U.S. Embassy.

Submission deadline: 20 December 2002
