TRANSGRESSIVE CULTURES CONFERENCE
CALL FOR PAPERS AND PRESENTATIONS
THIS YEAR’S TOPIC FOCUS: THE MARQUIS DE SADE
Proposals are sought from both scholars and independent researchers on topics such as:
•TRANSGRESSIVE ART, FILM, LITERATURE AND PERFORMANCE • EMERGENT PHILOSOPHIES OF TRANSGRESSION • RE-READINGS AND NEW APPROACHES TO TRANSGRESIVE PHILOSOPHY • EXPLORATIONS OF PORNOGRAPHY AND EROTICA • ABERRANT BEHAVIOR AND OUTSIDERS • ETC
This two-day conference will take place at the University of Chicago, Paris, on 5th and 6th of December, 2019.
We are currently seeking abstracts and panel proposals (panels must be presented by a pre-existing group of collaborators) for the Transgressive Cultures conference. While we are seeking ‘papers’ exploring any aspect associated with transgressive cultures this year we are especially interested in proposals for papers on the works of the Marquis de Sade. We welcome papers on Sade as a writer, as a philosopher, or as inspiration for subsequent generations of transgressives.
Abstracts and proposals should be no more than 250-words in length. For presentations a length of 30-40 minutes is desirable. Panel proposals should be approximately ninety minutes long.
Given the nature of the conference we are especially interested in alternative or expanded forms of presentation and performance, readings, short films, and other forms of alternative practice are encouraged.
Deadline for abstracts: October 1st 2019.
Jack Sargeant PhD, conference convenor, and Tom Garretson MA, conference coordinator, with the kind support of Sebastien Greppo and the University of Chicago, Paris.
