Wounded Galaxies 1968:
Beneath the Paving Stones, the Beach
Proposal deadline: July 1, 2017
Festival and Symposium
February 8-10, 2018
Indiana University Bloomington
Indiana University, in conjunction with The Burroughs
Century, plans an academic symposium welcoming scholars, archivists,
filmmakers, musicians, and others interested in exploring the
intellectual and aesthetic
legacy of 1968, during its 50
th anniversary year.
Interested
participants are invited to submit paper proposals on any aspect of
the
international history and cultural legacy of 1968.
Papers need not be limited to
any particular
critical, theoretical, historical, or political subject or method.
As
the symposium title suggests, we are using the Situationists as a
point of
departure and particularly welcome presentations that consider the
revolutionary potential of the Everyday—in both historical and
contemporary
situations. But we are happy to consider any proposals that address
the
historical legacy of 1968, and welcome submissions that attempt to
trace the
legacy of 68 in contemporary art and culture.
Proposals should be
limited to 300 words in length and consist of a brief description of
the
paper’s theme or focus, plus a one-page vita. Proposals may be
submitted for
individual papers or for sessions featuring two or three panelists.
Proposals
for panels should be submitted as a group by the organizer, along
with a short
explanation of the unifying theme. In addition, each panel proposal
should
consist of individual paper descriptions (limited to 300 words in
length),
names of panelists and their vitae.
Please email
your proposals to Joan Hawkins <jchawkin -at-
indiana.edu>, by
July 1, 2017. The Symposium Program Committee
will evaluate all submissions and notify all candidates of the
results by Aug
1, 2017. For more information, please visit <

We look forward to your proposals, and to celebrating/reevaluating
the legacy
of international political and aesthetic upheaval.
