"FAILING BETTER: THE GREATEST MA STUDENT CONFERENCE ON EARTH!
August 4th, 2006, 11am to 6pm in the Small Cinema (Main Building, Goldsmiths)

A joint CCS and CUCR conference for MA students in Culture, Globalisation and the City, Cultural Studies, Postcolonial Studies, Anthropology and Cultural Politics, and Sociology.

This student conference is intended as an opportunity for Masters students in the fields broadly related to the study of 'culture' to have an occasion to share our own exciting research and writing, to hear other people's research directions, and to give creative feedback and input.

As part of departments related to the broad study of 'culture', whether urban cultures, cultural studies, or anthropology and postcolonial studies, we share an interest in critically engaging with key questions in contemporary academic and political debates. Addressing issues around culture industries (high and low), globalism, colonialism in all its neo- and post- guises, identity, politics, alterity, hybridity, community, race and class, our scholarship is linked together by its resolute combination of theory and practice, and its keen importance for contemporary social theory. Our conference title is a pilfered paraphrase from Samuel Beckett, suggesting that while perfection is impossible, there is always the possibility of failing better (we are thinking here in the realms of both politics and research). Though not limited to the subject, submissions that examine the relevance of cultural studies to politics and polity today are particularly encouraged."

Title:
As objects of power how do visual art statements influence cultural identities through the eyes of contemporary Mexican artists?

Abstracts:
The predominance of new communicative mediums of information in contemporary society has been ruling the forms within which societies perceive reality. Even if, different cultures have distinctive perspectives regarding what is the real. This moment leads us into ask, how the original influences the traditional; how the collective is controlled by the singular; how the exception exposes the rule; how visual arts influence cultural identities. Germinating ways in which art objects are used to construct or deny identity and cultural difference by controlling institutions. Which is the referent system that Mexican society relied on to make aesthetical judgments? Which criticality is taken and where is the critical moment in the artistic experience? The objective of this cultural analysis is to find the threshold between internal and external ambivalences in visual cultures as statements that can influence cultural identities. The paper aim is more concerned with discussing on the subject of aesthetics and Art’s role and, how they represent and manipulate societies differently. Thoughts on the dissolution and elasticity of meanings within a globalised society ruled by cultural communications, where statements are meant to be understood differently by different receivers of artistic goods. In summary, an analysis on irresolvable internal contradiction or logical disjunctions that derived from culture, while through the immateriality of Carlos Amorales’s and Gabriel Kuri’s and Daniela Rossell’s artworks. It would not be the book or even a work of art on Art, but simply personal thoughts on the state of the art in the contemporary world, regarding issues of globalisation, technology, mnemonic remnants, and the exercise of power by Science, Religion, Politics and Art.
