CALL FOR PAPERS
The Centre for the Study of Theory and
Criticism at the University of Western
Ontario plans a major international
conference on THE HISTORIES OF THEORY, to be
held from April 16th-19th, 1998. This is the
third international conference hosted by the
Centre. Proceedings of both previous
conferences ("Theory Between the Disciplines"
and "The Human Sciences in the Age of Theory")
have now appeared in book form.
We are seeking papers from a variety of
(inter)disciplinary perspectives, on any
aspect of the conference topic, including the
following:
--the histories and genealogies of particular
theoretical schools: trajectories,
hybridities, crossings
--the rhetoric of particular theoretical
discourses and the "history" (material or
psychic) underlying that rhetoric
--connections between contemporary theory and
earlier philosophy/social theory
--the histories of theory within a particular
discipline
--the genealogy of particular theorists'
careers: hybridities, crossings, missed
encounters
--the genealogies of "theory" itself; the
history of its constitution as an
(inter)discipline; versions of
interdisiplinarity in earlier periods; ways
in which histories of theory have been
narrativized; the possibly gendered basis of
these (his)tories etc.
--rewriting the history of theory: forgotten
pasts, neglected histories, and missed
encounters
--the tyranny of history; theory in the age
of historicism
--modernity and postmodernity
--poststructuralism after the "academic
postmodern"
--the end(s) of theory and theory at the fin
de siecle

words) by OCT 1st, 1997 to:
