| Theatre and the Making of Subjects. 28.-31.October 2010, Germany, Mainz
Theatre and the Making of Subjects 10th Congress Gesellschaft für Theaterwissenschaft 28.-31. October 2010, Mainz, Germany Paper deadline: 30. April 2010 The question of how subjects are constituted has become one of the central research areas of contemporary cultural theory. Subjectivity is understood as something that materializes in individual corporeal processes of its incessant negotiation and emergence against the background of socially given norms. For such a theory, culture is not just text and monument but a performance of meaning based on bodies and actions. Thus, theatre may appear as a paradigmatic site for the “making of subjects”. Papers will be divided in three sections: Abstracts (max. 250 words) may be submitted online by April 30th, 2010. Please submit your proposal through the application form on www.subjekt2010.de . Papers may be held in English or German. |
