Distance & Proximity: An Interdisciplinary Conference

Thursday 26th & Friday 27th June, 2014, UCL, London

Keynote Speakers

Prof Andrew Leak

Professor of French at University College London

&

Dr Rosa Mucignat

Lecturer in Comparative Literature at King's College London


The conference features papers by postgraduate students across a wide spectrum of interests and disciplines whose work offers perspectives relating to the concept(s) of Distance and Proximity. In particular, these are papers that interrogate these notions in an interdisciplinary manner and explore their critical possibilities.

We invite graduate researchers working in fields related to European languages, cultures, and society to respond to this critical interrogation, and in doing so, reflect on how concepts of distance and proximity operate in different theoretical contexts, and whether interconnections between various fields may be achieved or disconnections rendered productive.

The conference will be structured into chaired panels whose organisation reflects the interdisciplinary nature of the conference and an attempt to approach ideas of distance and proximity from a variety of theoretical perspectives and across orthodox disciplinary boundaries.


The panels are as follows:

  • Artistic Practice & Distance
  • Construction of Space
  • Cultural Translation
  • Ethnicity, Identity & Language
  • Gender: Heteroflexibility, Feminist Linguistics & the Body
  • Physical space in Art & Literature

More details can be found on our website:http://culturalinquiryucl.wordpress.com/distance-proximity-conference-2014/

Additionally, a selection of papers from the conference will be published online in the second edition of Tropos, a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed academic journal based in UCL. The current edition can be found at: http://ojs.lib.ucl.ac.uk/index.php/tps/issue/current
