7th Cultural Geography, Anthropology, and Cultural Studies International Conference in Languedoc-Roussillon (France)


CALL FOR PAPERS
Contemporary Cultural Utopias 
June 16-18, 2016
Nîmes University (France)

Deadline for proposals: June 15, 2015

The 7th Cultural Geography, Anthropology, and Cultural Studies International Conference in Languedoc-Roussillon will focus on contemporary cultural utopias. It wishes more specifically to explore how they are currently being formalized, their meaning, and their social and spatial localizations. At a time when the world is often described as saturated with technological innovations and communication flows, when humanity’s craziest dreams seem to have become reality, how can we give a fresh meaning to the notion of utopia and understand its unabated success? The notion of “contemporary cultural utopia” suggests that to the political and scientific utopias of the past, a new, more cultural and global dimension can be added, one that would encompass all the interpretations and controversies related to the roles of culture today. The conference wishes to explore and define the boundaries of this new dimension and investigate its implications by means of a multidisciplinary approach. Several axes are suggested to try and come to terms with the complexity of the notion of cultural utopia.
