The theme for the symposium will be 'Bodies and Belongings: Transitions, Citizenship & Participation'. We are seeking papers on a wide range of topics from students in various disciplines across the humanities and social sciences: from sociologists to creative arts practitioners; from writers to historians. We seek to offer an open and inclusive academic space for emerging scholars to shape and develop their work, contributing to a broader discussion on contemporary negotiations of bodies and how, where, and if they belong.

The two-day symposium will include multiple themed sessions where students will present papers-in-progress and a keynote presentation from Professor Johanna Wyn, Director of the Youth Research Centre and leader of the Education, Equity and Social Change cluster in the Melbourne Graduate School of Education within the University of Melbourne. Johanna Wyn has written extensively on young people and their transitions, their health and wellbeing, and their participation in culture and society.

There is no cost associated with attending the symposium. We are inviting HDR students working in the Humanities, the Arts, or conducting Cultural Research to submit abstracts for consideration in the program. The event is also open to interested staff and undergraduate students, though HDR students will be considered favourably.

38th Annual AAH Conference & Bookfair The Open University, Milton Keynes, 29 - 31 March 2012

Session Convenor: Eve Kalyva, e.m.kalyva@gmail.com

Conceptual art has problematised the status of the art object in relation to criticism, history and theory. In relation to contemporary art production, the practices and legacy of conceptual art have gained new attention as a legitimising paradigm. But what kind of object did conceptual art put forward? How does the reference to conceptual art help us locate art’s critical potential today?

This session offers critical reflection on conceptual art and its historical, social, art historical and discursive context. It wishes to re-address the legacy of conceptual art as a legitimising paradigm and its relation to contemporary forms of producing, presenting and theorising art. In addition, this session aims to explore the configurations of the space of art as a social space that conceptual art practices put forward in order to locate a model for articulating the sociality of art.

The papers for this session critically engage with the paradigm and the legacy of conceptual art from multiple historical, geographical and social sites. They discuss issues such as:

• the historicity, contemporaneity and politics of conceptual art practices
• the visual presence of language and the activity of writing
• the appropriation or dissolution of traditional object/subject hierarchies and the use of humour
• the intersecting roles of the artist/critic/spectator/curator
• collaborative practices beyond the art institution
• marketing and institutionalisation
• the currency of concepts such as ‘conceptualism’ and ‘post-conceptual’ in the global art market
