Call for papers for the mid-term conference of the Graduiertenkolleg \u2018Practicing Place\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

The graduate school \u2018Practicing Place: Socio-Cultural Practices and Epistemic Configurations\u2019 at KU Eichst\u00e4tt-Ingolstadt researches the intersections, tensions, and dynamics of place and practice within a decidedly interdisciplinary collaboration.\u00a0The local, national, and transnational flows that constitute our everyday are upheld not only by the interconnection of places but by uneven circulations and bounded exclusions: competing configurations of places present challenges to the taken-for-granted, and\u00a0alternative materialities, mappings, narrations, temporalities, and discourses are a site of\u00a0continuous\u00a0struggle. The goal of the training group is to unpick the \u2018how\u2019 of places in relation to the situatedness of any and all practices.<\/p>\n

In our midterm conference, we are turning the focus toward the dynamics of placing<\/em>\u00a0– the making, taking, knowing,\u00a0writing,\u00a0and doing of places.\u00a0In other words, the conceptual emphasis is on the \u2018-ing\u2019, the gerund of place, the practicing<\/em>. We will address these interactions and intersections with a keynote address by Tim Cresswell as well as a mix of roundtables, panel discussions, and artistic interventions. With an open format in mind, we encourage proposals in various formats to thematise the processes and configurations of placing, and welcome perspectives from the multiple disciplines that constitute our graduate school (American studies, architecture, art history, cultural studies, geography, literary studies, media studies, sociology) and beyond.<\/p>\n

The conference will take place on the 10th<\/sup>\u00a0and 11th<\/sup>\u00a0of November 2022, hosted by the Catholic University of Eichst\u00e4tt-Ingolstadt, in Eichst\u00e4tt Germany.<\/p>\n

There will be a pre-conference programme on the 9th of November, most notably a guided walking tour and an informal dinner, to get to know each other and the place of Eichst\u00e4tt.<\/p>\n

The conference language is English. We plan subsequent publication(s).<\/p>\n

With regard to the ongoing pandemic situation, we will respond as necessary, but intend for an in-person event.<\/p>\n

Themes and topics for panels and presentations might include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n
