Steel Cities: Tradition, Transition and Transformation
Steel Cities: Tradition, Transition and Transformation
1st CALL FOR PAPERS
Sheffield, June 29th - July 2nd 2006
Steel and Tourism
The steel rails of the world's railways provided the basic infrastructure
for early modern tourism. Today, old iron and steel works provide
sites for leisure tourism. Steel as both a fundamental, functional, interior
fabric and a symbolic, highly visible substance permeates the structures,
flows, practices and narratives of contemporary tourism. Indeed steel,
though not exclusively, can be viewed as a pre-condition for modern
international tourism.
As part of the wider programme of the Steel Cities Conference - see
below - we invite researchers from all disciplines to reflect upon the
function, form and emblematic nature of steel within tourism in past,
present and future contexts. Indicative themes of interest include:
* Material diasporas: trade, tourism and the diffusion of material culture
* Tourism and imaginaries of steel making: Between nostalgia and fantasy
* Technological innovation in the structures and mobilities of international
tourism and hospitality
* Steel 'works' - tourism and the problems and possibilities of urban
regeneration
* Alchemists, Blacksmiths and Magicians: Travel and the diffusion of
knowledge
* Excalibur or the metaphorical journey from stone to iron: Travel,
popular culture and pragmatic narratives of iron and steel
Please send abstracts of no more than 500 words by January 13th 2006

Steel Cities: Tradition, Transition and Transformation
For nearly two centuries steel has been the fundamental building block
of modernity, revolutionising the lives of millions. From its use in
building
and construction, in weapons production, to its role in the home kitchen,
the transformative power of steel is undeniable. At all stages of its
life-cycle, steel impacts upon communities, regions and nations. As
China and India race to modernise their economies with imported steel,
many cities across Europe and North America are still struggling to cope
with the transition from productive to consumptive economies. The focus
of this conference is upon the ways in which economies and societies,
lives, landscapes and relationships have been, and continue to be,
transformed by steel.
The 'Steel Cities' conference will bring together academics and
professionals from a wide range of disciplines to explore the
ways by which steel has impacted upon people, places and pasts and
how it continues to shape lives and relationships in the context of local
and global change. It will take place in Sheffield, England's most famous
'Steel City', and will be led by the University of Sheffield and Sheffield
Hallam University in collaboration with a number of partners who are
interested in discussing their research and sharing and disseminating good
practice. The conference will be multi-disciplinary drawing from
architecture,
history, sociology, anthropology, ethnology, cultural studies, geography,
tourism studies, museum studies, ethnology, linguistics, economics etc.
Themes of interest to the conference include:
* Labour relations and working environments in the steel sector
* The uses of steel in contemporary life
* Histories and ethnographies of steel communities
* Identity and belonging in 'steel cities'
* Representations of steel and the steel industry in the 'popular' media
* The role of the cultural industries (arts, sport, tourism, etc.) in the
regeneration of 'steel cities'
* The languages of steel cities
* Heritages of the steel industry
* Symbolic economies of steel - iconography, art and design

Crossing America’s Internal Borders
CALL FOR PROPOSALS
Crossing America’s Internal Borders: The 41st Annual International Conference of the American Studies Association of Korea (ASAK), Oct. 27-28, 2006 in Seoul
U.S. imperialism has been the object of study and criticism by scholars of many disciplines and, especially since the start of the Iraqi war, U.S. imperialism and militarism have been examined and severely criticized by scholars and activists both inside and outside the U.S. Alongside this scrutiny of U.S. imperialism, recent trends in American Studies or, all across the board in the Humanities and Social Sciences, have reflected various ways in which the intersection of gender, race and class have changed the way we view the U.S. both synchronically and diachronically.
The 2006 ASAK conference committee seeks to shift the current scholarly concerns to the “internal borders” within the U.S.
The catastrophic events brought on by Hurricane Katrina have exposed and lay bare in the eyes of the world not only the actual material consequences of racial and class divides in the U.S. but also of the complex workings of other less visible internal borders within the U.S. Some of the questions that might be raised may be: Do regional differences still exist in the U.S.
How are the questions of race and class interrelated with economic and regional divides? How has the traditional notion of “class” changed in terms of everyday life of Americans? How is the regional or geographical divide related to issues of race and gender?
The committee invites papers from all disciplines and in the spirit of the tradition of past ASAK conferences, welcomes new, innovative interdisciplinary approaches, but this year, the committee would like to especially encourage papers from various disciplines in the Social Sciences and from scholars with diverse background and training. The conference committee hopes to foster a productive and rewarding dialogue among the scholars of the Humanities and the Social Sciences, carefully seeking to go beyond the discursive realm and find possibilities of intervening in the social processes. Rather than viewing the U.S.
as a monolithic superpower, locating the real or imagined “third worlds” within the U.S. may transform the way we imagine the future world.

Interarts Research and Practices
September 21 - 24, 2006
University of Victoria, BC, Canada
Call for Papers, Performances, Collaborations and Workshops
Deadline for Submissions: March 1, 2006
In September 2005, the Collision Symposium brought together researchers,
performers and artists to present their work on interarts and
interdisciplinary performance and creation. Collision, a term that denotes
forceful impact of masses moving in different directions, was used as a
theme for the kind of interarts processes often used to create and merge art
forms. Often by design, and sometimes by chance, these processes do not
result in seamless integration of the arts, but instead create a friction of
disciplinarity that promotes rupture or erasure and creates detritus that
exists in liminal states. Building on some of the themes and discussion from
the previous symposium, Collision 2006 requests abstracts and proposals from
artists, researchers and performers for the following:
Performances and Creative works - gallery and performance space is available
for interarts works. Please include the specifications for presentation
(type of venue, dimensions), all the technical requirements, and an
audio-visual sample of the work along with your abstract. If the work is
performance-based, please list its duration.
Lecture-presentations - we encourage traditional lecture format
presentations as well as artist talks, dialogues and lecture-demonstrations.
These presentations will be the standard 20 minutes with 15 minutes for
discussion.
Performative Lectures - presentations that operate as an amalgamation of
art/performance and research. These presentations will be the standard 20
minutes with 15 minutes for discussion.
Workshops and Roundtable Discussions - hands-on practical topics including
but not limited to "Teaching interdisciplinary collaboration", "Methods to
merge theory and practice" and "Interarts terminologies/histories".
Workshops will be limited to 1 hour.
Collaborations and Activities - we invite you to lead a collaboration or
other activity for a mixed group of artists, researchers and performers on a
topic that relates to interarts practices. Collaborations and Activities are
limited to 1 hour and 30 minutes. For the 2006 Collision Symposium we will
have several thematic areas of focus. As well as general submissions on any
subjects of interarts and interdisciplinary creation, we also invite
submissions that address the following topics:
1. Practice and Performance as Research, Theory as Performance/Art:
Following the Art and Language group, philosopher-artists have taken an
approach to research and discourse that presents theory as a performance or
creative work. What are the current forms that these practices take?
2. Interdisciplinarity as a Social Force:
How do theories of power, legitimacy, and inclusion change when applied in
an interdisciplinary context? How is gender performed interdisciplinarily?
How does intersectional feminist theory inform interarts work? Is activist
art inherently interdisciplinary? How can interarts practice enrich or
transform community-based or site-responsive projects?
3. First Nations Interarts Creation:
What is the role of participation, interaction and community-building in
First Nations interarts practices? How are storytelling practices
transformed in interarts creation?
4. Technology:
What are the roles, potential, and dangers of technology in
interdisciplinary artworks? How do information and communications theories
intersect with artistic practices?
5. Between Architecture and the Arts:
Artistic explorations of built environments or imaginary structures. How do
artists and performers integrate architecture as a part of their practice?
6. Conscious Interdisciplinarity:
Current academic and artistic research, art production, and performance are
often interdisciplinary almost as a matter of course. So what does it mean
to refer to one's practice as 'interdisciplinary'? How is this label
strategic? Aesthetic? Fetishistic?
7. Non-Western Interdisciplinarity:
What might we learn from non-Western manifestations of interdisciplinarity
or interarts practice (or from cultures where the concept of artistic
disciplines may not even exist)?
8. Interdisciplinary Art and Spirituality:
Where does ambiguity in art intersect with spirituality? Are there parallels
between interdisciplinary creation and spiritual pursuits (eg. art as
process)? Can nonverbal artistic imagery for which no authoritative
tradition of interpretation exists become a catalyst for spirituality?
All accepted presentations from the 2005 and upcoming 2006 Symposia will be
considered for a planned publication on interarts and interdisciplinary
research and practices.
Abstracts should be no more than 250 words in length and must be sent as a
doc. or rtf. file attachment to interart@finearts.uvic.ca. Please DO NOT
send audio-visual documentation as attachment files. Instead, please send
all materials - slides, CDs, VHS video and DVDs in NTSC format only to:
