Anti-Bodies: Corporeality and its Discontents
The Working Group on New Media and Digital Cultures invites submissions for the 19th annual meeting of the Cultural Studies Association (CSA), to be held online June 10-12, 2021. We hosted four panels last year, and we hope for an equally vibrant and diverse range of presentations this year. The theme for the 2021 CSA Conference is Anti-Bodies. We encourage submissions that explore corporeal-digital interfaces, interactions, and assemblages, and that query or problematize understandings of embodiment, becomings, and abject subjectivities in a network society. Topics might include:
SUBMISSION PROCESS
All proposals should be submitted through Easy Chair using the following link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=csa2021. If you deferred your accepted 2020 conference paper, please resubmit to ensure it is included in this year’s conference. Please prepare all the materials required to propose your session according to the given directions before you begin electronic submission. All program information--names, presentation titles, and institutional affiliations--will be based on initial conference submissions. Please avoid lengthy presentation and session titles, use normal capitalization and standard fonts, and include your name and affiliations as you would like them to appear on the conference program schedule.
Note: you do not have to be a current member to submit. If your proposal is accepted, you must become a current member of the CSA and register for the conference. These are two separate transactions.
Questions should be direct to the co-chairs of the New Media and Digital Cultures working group:
Jeff Heydon ([email protected]) and Mark Nunes ([email protected]).
