Conference – ‘Dark Economies: Anxious Futures, Fearful Pasts’

From 7-9 July 2021, Falmouth University will be hosting the (rescheduled) conference ‘Dark Economies: Anxious Futures, Fearful Pasts’. Encouraging an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary engagement with the ways dark concerns and anxieties have been and are currently envisioned, the conference invites contributions from scholars, practitioners, artists and activists. Possible topics range from the climate emergency to racism in politics and anxieties around the digital. The aim of the conference is to explore the individual and collective fears of the past and the contemporary: What were the monsters of the past? What are our monsters now? Abstracts (250 words) can be submitted until 1 February 2021. More information on the conference here.
