CFP Mash #6

May 21st 2007 06:39
In what ways has leisure participated in shaping knowledge? What exactly is the ontological
status of leisure in the 18th century? Is it a host of recreational activities or does it genuinely create new matters of inquiry? In this context, and along the lines of Dr Johnson's observation, the relation between 'prodesse' and 'delectare' should be negotiated: are the concepts 'prodesse' and 'delectare' relevant in the way that leisure activities present themselves or are presented? How does the opposition of 'otium' and 'negotium' inform and configure leisure activities?

How differently do people from various regions reflect on the experience? Given the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim veneration for the land, what role does religious belief play in the making of the geographical narratives?

CFP Mash #4

May 18th 2007 23:53
The idea about our pivotal theme 'Theatres of Resistance' stemmed from a genuine interest in theatre¢s ideological efficacy; can theatre effectively challenge and/or change social institutions? Are the terms 'theatres of resistance' and 'political theatre' synonymous? Can theatre shake up the complacency of the audience and disrupt their habitual role as spectators/consumers?

CFP Mash #2

May 16th 2007 01:39
I want to explore what constitutes "healthy" pleasure in texts from this era; what are the
cultural uses of pleasure and what risks attend overindulgence in pleasure; how can pleasure lead or metamorphose into such dysphoric states as madness, hysteria, hypochondria, and addiction for writers of this era? What are the risks that attend the communication of pleasure?

Introduction to the Text:
What I've done here is strip each interesting-looking CFP sent to me of it's non-questions, and placed them one after another with the titles separating (so that if you like one stream of questions you can trace it back and offer your services). Enjoy! - Epiphanie

Welcome to Epiphanie Bloom's Postmodern University

May 3rd 2007 07:45
Why should innovation be the exception, not the rule? This is a 'university' setting where the phrase 'fuzzy logic' is deconstructed as an unhelpful label heaped on postmodern theory which challenges the status quo in such a dramatic way as to upset and intimdate a wide rnge of people. If you are here then you are interested in breaking the mould and re-introdocuing yourself to what academic study is really capable of. The point is to be inspired by the forefront of innovation, and settle for no less.

Can you help me
