Emerging Studies: a call for scholars concerned with the emerging church movement

I am seeking academic collaborators (faculty, graduate students, independents) who are
interested in sharing their scholarship on the emerging church. While any project would
inevitably include theological considerations, interdisciplinary approaches to the movement are
of particular interest:
- religious studies
- cultural studies
- literary and political theory
- literature
- history
- philosophy
- anthropology
- political science

The Graduate Association of French and Italian Students
is pleased to announce the 22nd Annual

GAFIS Symposium
Un)Marked:Intersection of the Universal and the Particular

April 3-4, 2009
University of Wisconsin-Madison

What lies at the intersection of the universal and the particular?

Culture--a phenomenon that is simultaneously universal and particular,
unmarked and marked.

Culture permeates all human interaction: every human society has a culture,
a language, a literature, a song, a dance, an art. Yet each culture is
simultaneously highly particular, unique, unlike the others.

Interrogation Techniques: Law, Texts, Culture
Simon Fraser University English Graduate Conference, May 29-30, 2009

This interdisciplinary conference will interrogate the role of the law in
the production, content, dissemination, and critical reception of texts.
The relationship between legal and other discourses affects how cultures
and individuals perceive the world, and act on that perception. Law,
literature, and society intersect in diverse forms, from the Ten
Commandments to the political role of the novel in Victorian England, from
vigilante justice in revenge tragedies to the establishment of the Creative
Commons online.

multiple, non-localisable connections between different elements which is

-Gilles Deleuze, _Difference and Repetition_
