CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT
Cultural History after Foucault
1998
An international conference
ABERDEEN           JUNE 26-28 1998
____________________________________________________
Cultural History at the University of Amsterdam and the Thomas Reid
Institute and the English Department at the University of Aberdeen would
like
to announce an international conference. As the second of two, it is
premised
on the view that cultural studies, however much they may have gained
from 
Foucault, are now moving further ahead by overcoming their Foucaldian
heritage
and seeking answers to the question where do we go now?
The 1997 Amsterdam conference focussed primarily, though not
exclusively, on theoretical issues; the Aberdeen is concerned with
specific
historical problems, brought forward in light of the previous year's
theoretical discussions. There will be plenary speakers whose talks are
open to
the public. The conference will also hold group sessions closed to the
public,
in which the plenary speakers will be joined by twenty-five additional
participants. In these group sessions shorter papers of approximately
20
minutes will be presented and general discussions will be held.
This conference is of considerable interest to 18th Century scholars.
