------- Forwarded from Philosop by Ross B. Emmett ------- ********************************************************************** Graduate Programme in Social & Political Thought STRATEGIES OF CRITIQUE XI Interdisciplinary Graduate Student Symposium 18-19 April 1997 York University Call for papers: ** END OF KNOWLEDGE or the knowledge of ends ** As we muddle towards the end of the century, our disciplinary structures are plagued with doubt. Once more, we confront the issue of how we stake our claims to knowledge, in the political, historical, cultural and social. The theme of the 1997 "Strategies of Critique" symposium concerns knowledge: its production and destruction; its use, abuse and disuse. We welcome critical papers, across disciplines, addressing any aspect of this theme in contemporary or historical contexts. Possible topics might include: * knowing the nation * discernment of culture * fin-de-siecle follies * epistemological narratives * aesthetics of academe * civic understandings * economic fables Please submit an abstract (two pages, double-spaced) prepared for blind review to the address at right. Deadline for receipt of abstracts is 30 SEPTEMBER 1996. Direct abstracts and correspondence to: Strategies of Critique XI Graduate Programme in Social & Political Thought York University North York (Toronto), Ontario Canada M3J 1P3 For further information, please contact: Chad Thompson telephone: (416) 538-0123 email: [log in to unmask] **********************************************************************
