DESCRIPTION:This conference provides a forum for discussion on the various
  ways in which academics might approach intellectual life through the lens
 es of performance and performativity. It aims to reveal the drama lying at
  the heart of intellectual life and provide innovative theoretical and met
 hodological approaches to understanding it.\n\nAdopting an interdisciplina
 ry approach\, and a broadly-conceived definition of ‘intellectuals’\, 
 it aims to show how the study of intellectual work\, intellectual collabor
 ation\, intellectual dispute\, and intellectual controversy\, can all be a
 ugmented by drawing upon the rich resources provided to us by the traditio
 ns of performance and performativity in the human and social sciences. The
  conference will be relevant to sociologists\, historians\, literary criti
 cs\, political scientists\, and human geographers interested in original u
 nderstandings of intellectuals and their practices within society.
