An International Conference to be held at The University of Nottingham, U.K.
April 4-5 2003
Following the success of the first 'New York, Chicago, Los Angeles Cultures and Representations' Conference (Birmingham UK, Sept. 1999) which saw the participation of over 65 academics from 10 counties, the Three Cities
project team is pleased to announce its final international conference, to be held April 4-5, 2003, at the University of Nottingham, UK. We invite papers from scholars working on New
York, Chicago or Los Angeles in any period and from any disciplinary orientation.
Plenary Speakers (to be confirmed):
Giuliana Bruno (Harvard University) Nicholas Mirzoeff (SUNY, New York)
The project members and many of our associates work on representations of urban space in literature, photography, fine art, visual culture, maps,
architecture, popular art, advertising, television and film and many draw on contemporary work in urban and visual theory, cultural studies and cultural geography. We would be pleased to see papers reflecting these emphases. The project has developed the use of multimedia for the study of visual,
literary and cultural representations of urban space and we would
particularly welcome papers that seek to utilise or address the use of new technologies for the study of city spaces CitySites an electronic book was published in December 2000 and is currently available at www.citysites.org.uk.
