Meeting Description:

20th annual GNEL / ASNEL Conference Postcolonial Translocations

The conference is concerned with the concept of translocation, which denotes
more than a simple 'change of location' or 'dislocation' (which often implies a
privileging of 'origins' over 'new' locations), because this concept can leave
open points of departure and destination. Translocation is not only a process
(the transfer of people, cultural products, borders), but can also mean a new
kind of location, a trans-location consisting of fractured and variously
connected spaces.

Postcolonial Translocations
20th annual GNEL / ASNEL Conference
University of Münster, Germany
21 - 24 May 2009

Cultural products emerge from ever more shifting grounds, and translocation is
becoming increasingly significant: narrative fiction, poetry, drama, and film
are created with a view to being marketed in several languages and markets;
authors and producers move from one country to another; global audiences consume
cultural products in different locales, creating demands in several
marketplaces; national borders are fought over and redrawn, materially as well
as textually, further undermining any sense of a stable location.

Translocation denotes more than a simple 'change of location' or 'dislocation'
(which often implies a privileging of 'origins' over 'new' locations), because
this concept can leave open points of departure and destination. 

Translocation is not only a process (the transfer of people, cultural products,
borders), but can also mean a new kind of location, a trans-location consisting
of fractured and variously connected spaces.

Postcolonialists read contemporary and historical texts across disparate
geographic and temporal spaces. In the context of globalisation and
neo-imperialisms, not only unequal development and political instability but
also violence and gender inequality continue to shape complex postcolonial
realities; nation and narration, place and displacement, location and migration
remain major paradigms of postcolonial critique. The postcolonial lexicon
clearly indicates our concern with placement, movement and interconnection. But
arguably our understanding of what constitutes a specific location has
dramatically changed over the last few decades and requires reading practices
which reflect the communicative, political and aesthetic concerns of translocal
representation. The growing body of texts which - linguistically, aesthetically,
and thematically - draw on and combine distinct cultural repertoires is an
indication of the increasing relevance of postcolonial translocations today.

Under the sign of translocation, this conference promotes a critical evaluation
of postcolonial texts and media whilst also investigating their institutional
academic contexts. Possible topics for papers and panels include:

-Border regimes and border-crossings
-Imagining translocal space
-Representations of forced and voluntary relocations
(incl. slavery, indentureship, transportation, migration)
-Postcolonial cultural transformations
-Authority and authenticity in postcolonial texts
-Transmigration
-Translation and translocation
-Translocal food and its representations
-Moving species: Biological transfers
-Online writing, online reading
-Cyber diasporas
-Diaspora literature
-Travel writing
-Academic locations and reallocations of Postcolonial Studies
-20 years on: GNEL/ASNEL and its institutional locations

You can email abstracts of papers (20 minutes) or proposals for panels
comprising three papers (90 minutes) to the following address: gnel2009 at gmail.com

The first call for papers will close on 30 September 2008.
