This multi-disciplinary project seeks to explore the new and prominent place that the idea of culture has for the construction of meaning and identity, as well as the implications for social political membership in contemporary societies. In particular, the project will assess the larger context of major world transformations, for example, new forms of migration and the massive movements of people across the globe, as well as the impact and contribution of globalisation on tensions, conflicts and the sense of rootedness and belonging. Looking to encourage innovative trans-disciplinary dialogues, papers are welcome from all disciplines, professions and vocations, which struggle to understand what it means for people, the world over, to forge identities in rapidly changing national, social and cultural contexts. Papers, workshops, presentations and pre-formed panels are invited on any of the following themes: Contemporary Rediscoveries and Redefinitions of Culture; Cultural Boundaries, Peoples and Nations; Individuals, Identity and the Inter-Subjective; Cultural Formations; Politicising Culture; Art and Cultural Representations; Crossing Cultural Boundaries.
