2020 CFP
The VISUAL CULTURE Working Group of the Cultural Studies Association invites both general and themed submissions for the 18th Annual Meeting of the Cultural Studies Association (U.S.), to be held at Columbia College, Chicago, Illinois, May 28-May 30, 2020.
Following the Cultural Studies Association’s 2020 theme Bodily Sovereignty and Collective Action, the Visual Cultural Working Group seeks papers, roundtables, and/or praxis sessions that consider the ways in which visual culture, understood broadly, has engaged the issue of bodily sovereignty and its relation to individual and collective identities. How have visual media or specific works of visual culture engaged the concept of bodily sovereignty, especially in relation to the empowerment of individual, collective, and/or national identities?
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
