LSE - Millenium Conference - Between Fear and Wonder: International Politics, Representation and ‘the Sublime’
Call for Papers
MILLENNIUM ANNUAL CONFERENCE
(29-30 October 2005, LSE, London)
Between Fear and Wonder: International Politics, Representation and
‘the Sublime’
Although literature and art have long been sources of new perspectives
for our understanding of the
political, it is only recently that explicitly aesthetic approaches
have significantly featured in International
Relations theory. Following this apparent and general ‘Aesthetic Turn
in IR’, Millennium now seeks
original contributions to the field that focus specifically on ‘the
sublime’: the concept itself; reflections
on its re/presentation; the construction and conditioning of IR.
The sublime, as an aspect of aesthetics that signifies engagement with
the inexplicable and the
incalculable, captures many modes of interpretation. Taming the sublime
through art and poetry for
example, challenges the foundations and reach of our communicative
knowledge. Therefore, sublime
experiences, events and moments can shatter the consensus of
constitutive meaning through which we
give order to our lives. How epistemology responds to and incorporates
the sublime, from aesthetic
conception to representation, is consequently a deeply political
question. Who, with what words and
what authority, expresses or interprets ‘the sublime’ in our world?
In addition to the questions below, we are interested in eliciting
interdisciplinary submissions that involve
or surpass the following broad themes: art, music and literature;
crisis; emotion and memory; life and
death; belief and reason; architecture and discovery.
•
How can we conceive of the boundaries of epistemology and ontology and
the production of
knowledge in response to the sublime?
•
What are the implications of prioritising aesthetics and ‘the sublime’
over ‘the political’ for modes
of political action, critical theory and praxis?
•
How is the sublime relevant for the interpretation of International
Political theory?
•
What are the implications of the (dis)juncture between individual and
collective
conceptions/representations of the sublime?
•
Where, ultimately, does the political discourse of International
Relations take place?
In response to contributions, Millennium will be hosting its Annual
Conference on this topic at LSE
in October 2005. A selection of papers will appear in the Special Issue
of Volume 34.
Deadline for abstracts: 15 April 2005
