Out of Time: Theorizations of Culture and the Political

Michael Hardt and Mary Ann Doane, Keynote Speakers

October 20-22, 2005, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities

Organized by The Collective for Critical Practices, a group of graduate students in the Department of Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature


This conference is concerned with what it might mean to be “out of time” and its implications and applications for our present moment. Our Collective approaches “out of time” as a sense of urgency, a potential that emerges out of “presentness,” and a transformation of earlier assumptions of temporality. Today, urgency and the potential of the present have been elevated by the presumed waning of modernist notions of history and complex shifts in the relations of production. We are out of time.

Cinema, War and a Society of Spectacle

9 June 2005, University of Cambridge, UK

The Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities
(CRASSH), in association with the Cambridge University Film Seminar, invites
submissions for a one-day conference on cinema and war.


In light of the predominance of a binary between innocence and evil that
frequently characterizes a contemporary political vernacular and Hollywood
representation, the need for critical thought remains crucial. This
conference will interrogate the interplay between the events of war and
their representations in film and video in relation to our implication in
the construction and deconstruction of such imagery.
