suggested topics

These are some of the general topics that we believe may arise from the above:

​

  • empowering the imagination: the late 1960s and beyond

  • the art of protest: words and images in action

  • literature – and the world out there: conflict and violence in public vs literary discourses

  • narratives of dissension: fiction, youth and conflict

  • staging protest: drama and the political imagination since the 1960s

  • screening protest: film, television and the political imagination

  • poetry, protest and identity/ies since the 1960s

  • action, reaction: stereotype and iconoclasm (verbal, visual)

  • disruptive, constructive?: tropes of conflict and the making of contemporary societies

  • take my song for it: vocal music and fraught selves since the 1960s

  • translating dissent: protest represented across languages

  • urban sights and sounds: street art and writing since the 1960s

  • subaltern identities and gaining/giving voice: hybrid constructions

  • protest through affirmation: picturing alternate communities

  • remediating protest since the 1960s: from audiovisual to digital media

​

The organisers welcome proposals for 20-minute papers in English responding to these or other

topics prompted by the conference's rationale.
