Call for Papers
The 7th annual London Conference in Critical Thought (LCCT), hosted by the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Westminster, will offer a space for an interdisciplinary exchange of ideas for scholars who work with critical traditions and concerns. Central to the vision of the conference is an inter-institutional, non-hierarchal, and accessible event that makes a particular effort to embrace emergent thought and the participation of emerging academics, fostering new avenues for critically-oriented scholarship and collaboration.
The conference is divided into thematic streams, each coordinated by different researchers and with separate calls for papers, included in this document. We welcome paper proposals that respond to the particular streams below. In addition, papers may be proposed as part of a general stream, i.e. with no specific stream in mind. Spanning a range of broad themes, these streams provide the impetus for new points of dialogue.
- Art and Automation
- Capital, Event and Agency (1968-2018)
- Disruptions, Interventions and Liminalities: Critical Performative Pedagogies
- Infrastructure, “infrapolitics” and experimentation
- Politics of/in the Anthropocene
- Resistant Bodies. On resistance and its corporeal challenges
- Taking Positions
- The Politics of Truth
- Thinking Affect and Postcoloniality Together
- Time, Cities, Bodies
- Writing to Think
The Full Call for Papers can be found here: LCCT CfP 2018 feb 26
