The second conference of the International Society for Cultural

include, but are not limited to: 

* Histories and memories of trauma. 
* The enabling and legitimizing of violent social relations through
popular consent and 
common national identities. 
* Spaces and places of violence: the geography and memorialization of
war and conflict. 
* The visualization, narrativization, and aesthetics of violence and
conflict in art, fiction, film, television, video games, and new
media. 
* Relationships between war and science, medicine, and technology. 
* Everyday violence and gendered conflict. 
* Comedies of violence. 
* The manipulation of cultural phenomena and propaganda to create or
sustain genocide, ethnic cleansing, or racial violence. 
* The role of culture in the avoidance or amelioration of violence
and conflict. 
* The relative importance of cultural phenomena in the foreign
policies of ancient and modern societies. 

Paper proposals (300 words max.), or proposals for panels of three
speakers, should be sent to isch2009 at uq.edu.au by 28 February, 2009.
