Meeting Description:

This international and interdisciplinary conference seeks to outline the new
field of Contradiction Studies'' in the Humanities, focusing on the
interactions between seemingly contradictory socio-cultural phenomena and
practices. This will allow an understanding of distinct, yet related
categories such as antagonism, paradox, antimony, and their uses within and
beyond disciplinary boundaries. Participants will explore material instances
and aspects of contradiction, as well as its theories and practice(s).

We are happy to announce that the following distinguished scholars are invited
to address the conference as keynote speakers:

Prof. Dr. Rémy Bazenguissa-Ganga (EHESS, Paris, France – invited, to be
confirmed)
Prof. Dr. Jane Burbank (New York University, USA – invited, to be confirmed)
Dr. Stefan Müller (University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany – confirmed)
Prof. Dr. Barbara Schmenk (University of Waterloo, Canada – confirmed)


2nd Call for Papers:

Research questions may include, but are not limited to:

- In what ways are contradictions genuine elements and objects of knowledge
pro-duction in the Humanities and beyond?
- Why and to what extent can practices and institutions of knowledge sustain
contra-dictions?
- How are contradictions negotiated in institutions, and what is the role of
the Hu-manities in these practices?
- How do contradictory aspects of power influence the paradigmatic
developments in the Humanities?
- What are significant contradictions in power relations among social,
historical, and/or cultural agents?

Accepted paper proposals will be arranged with respect to the above-mentioned
aspects in three sessions: Fields of Contradiction, Structures of
Contradiction, and Practices of Contra-diction.

We invite presentations of no longer than 20 minutes. Please submit your
abstracts and pro-posals (max. 1,500 characters including spaces) at
www.woc.uni-bremen.de/conference, or send an e-mail, along with your contact
information, to woc at uni-bremen.de. The submission deadline is August 31, 2016.

There will be a poster session for young researchers, and for presentation of
work in progress. Poster proposals (max. 1 page) should be submitted as PDF
files, no later than October 31, 2016.

Conference registration at www.woc.uni-bremen.de/conference will be open from
July 1, 2016, until December 15, 2016. The website will also carry information
concerning the conference venue, accommodation, travel, and conference dinner.
