CALL FOR PAPERS
CONFERENCE: ‘IDENTITY FORMATION’
WEDNESDAY 4 APRIL 2007
GUEST SPEAKERS:PROF. CHARLES FORSDICK & PROF. ADRIAN ARMSTRONG
SCHOOL OF LANGUAGES, LINGUISTICS & CULTURES
THE UNIVERSITY OF MANCHESTER
Sponsored by The University of Manchester, The Society for French Studies and
The Subject Centre for Languages, Linguistics and Area Studies
This will be the first ever conference to incorporate all the discipline areas in the School of Languages, Linguistics and Cultures at The University of Manchester. This exciting inaugural event aims to be all inclusive and embrace all languages; it will treat the notion of ‘Identity Formation’ in literature, art, film and media studies under three main themes:
1. The role of philosophy/ideology in the formation of identity:
- this addresses how the individual acts/forms his identity as a result of his philosophical ideas/ideological beliefs.
- it could include the philosophical ideas and values of, for example, the Enlightenment; the Counter-Enlightenment; Irrationalism; Existentialism; Post-Structuralism; Post-Colonialism etc.
- it could include the ideologies and identities of a particular class or gender of people, nation, or race in society or a historical era.
2. Diasporic and transcultural identities:
- this could include the notion of “becoming” identities; of identities being interchangeable; the concept of hybridity; and the effects of migration on identities.
3. Narrative identity:
- this addresses identity as a result of narration, which can be analysed by looking at the parts that constitute it - in particular plot, time and place.
