Call for Proposals: Fifth American Studies Leipzig Graduate Conference
Urban America: Mediating City Space as Place
The Fifth American Studies Leipzig Graduate Conference “Urban America: Mediating City Space as Place” will explore the cultural, social, and political production of spatial realms and places in an interdisciplinary framework. Possible topics to examine the negotiation of urban spaces and places can be located in literature, culture, history, sociology, and politics. While proposals from any of these fields are welcome, presenters are encouraged to analyze “urban place-making processes“ across disciplinary boundaries.
Date: April 2, 2016
Venue: Deutsches Literaturinstitut Leipzig
