CROSSROADS IN CULTURAL STUDIES
Third International Conference
June 21-25, 2000, Birmingham, U.K.
<http://www.crossroads-conference.org/>
*************************************************************
In "Difference and Identity" I am organising the session "Social
Exclusion from what?", and here is session abstract:
The session is seeking ideas of the outcomes of the question: which
social, life-historical and structural features in our contemporary
communities and societies can produce the possibility of minority
positions, marginalization and social exclusion among the people? Is
one starting point the aim to locate different forms of everyday
politics and ways of participation of the people, from the point of
view of deviant behavior and marginal positions? Is the second point
the aim to think of research target as a multicultural mess; to
generate from that the stages where each person has her/his (ethnic)
public and private areas of action; of discrimination and social
exclusion? Is the third point to reconsider the environments that
education technologies provide and to reconsider the phenomenon of
knowledge transfer in order to get more detailed descriptions of how
the marginal, minority and deviant people relate to their technical,
technological, probably even hypertextual lives?
