<span style="background:white">If resistance has a tradition, it is one which is not unilinear or uncontested. Dominant understandings of resistance are themselves resisted, typically when certain peoples are left outside of the history or the conceptualisation
of resistance. This conference explores how the notion of resistance has been challenged, both by practices of resistance and theorisations of resistance (a distinction which can only be maintained so far). <br>
<br>
How has the advent of new technologies shifted understandings of resistance? Is resistance distinct from politics, and if so how do both operate when neoliberal rationality becomes hegemonic? Does violence interrupt resistance, or is it generative of resistance?
What conceptions of the human are presumed in discourses of resistance? Can resistance be enacted, or contested, through memory?<br>
<br>
The Critical Studies Research Group welcomes proposals for both research papers as well as non-conventional forms of presentation, for example performances, workshops, screenings and papers that resist traditional hierarchies of academic presentation. Videos
and performances should be accompanied by a short presentation detailing the work’s critical engagement with the conference theme. Submissions might be from a range of disciplines, and transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary contributions are also encouraged.<br>
<br>
Topics might concern, but are not limited to, the following:</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
