We are please d to announce that the 2017 PSA Convention will be held at the Sch ool of Advanced Study\, Senate House\, University of London\, from 18th to 20th September 2017. Paper and panel proposals are invited from academics\, scholars and postgraduates with research interests in any area of postcolonial studies from any disciplinary\, cross- or interdisciplina ry perspective.
\nThe Special Topic of the 2017 Convention is Global isation. Proposals for panels and papers on this theme are particularly en couraged.
\nWhile the transregional history of globalisation can be traced back to antiquity\, its discursive entanglement with the temporal r ealm of the ‘postcolonial’ has been the subject of much discussion and ana lysis in recent times. The 2017 convention seeks to investigate the crucia l role of postcolonial studies in furthering newer understandings of econo mic\, political and cultural globalisation in the light of the current int ernational climate: the complex socio-political ramifications of the Brexi t verdict\, Trump’s electoral victory\, or the European refugee crisis\, w hich have come to be regarded as the reactionary ‘whitelash’ against globa lisation.
\nHarnessing the philosophical scope of the postcolonial f ield\, our special topic aims to examine the nexus between a ‘neoliberal’ grand-narrative and ‘neocolonial racism’ as a mainstream ideological posit ion in both the North and South. How are these ongoing developments in the global North perceived by peoples and communities in the global South? Ho w is the North/South binary interrogated by the liminal story spaces of il legal immigrants\, temporary workers\, refugees and asylum seekers? How mi ght we postulate an alternative global economy? In what ways could informa l citizenship practices collaborate with radical discourses of ecofeminism \, or the transnational agency of a globalised digital resistance\, to pos e a concerted challenge to the reductive hierarchies of neocolonial racism ? In what ways might postcolonial analyses of cultural production account for globalisation within the current economic and political conjuncture?\n
Paper and panel proposals are invited from academics\, scholars an d postgraduates with research interests in any area of postcolonial studie s from any disciplinary\, cross- or interdisciplinary perspective.
\nPlease send abstracts of no more than 250 words for 20-minute individual papers and 500 words for panels of three\, along with a brief biographical note of participants (2-3 sentences max)\, to psaconference@pos tcolonialstudiesassociation.co.uk. The deadline for the receip t of abstracts is Tuesday\, 28th February 2017.
