各位同學，訊息供大家參考。歡迎加入文化研究學會。

[CSA]致會員及朋友們的一封信
各位會員好：
首先，感謝您長期以來對於文化研究學會的支持，學會已於今年一月的年會中，改選出新一屆（第七屆）理監事工作團隊，並邁向第13個年頭。過去兩年在王志弘理事長、殷寶寧秘書長、林純秀秘書的無私付出下，已打下了諸多厚實的根基，特別謝謝他們。新的工作團隊將在過往12年的基礎下，繼續推動學會工作：
1.《文化研究月報》是學會向有口碑、也是國內難得的電子月報，每月發行一次，上屆月報小組更致力於促成月報成為正式學術刊物（申請通過ISSN並進行匿名審查，速審速決），歡迎「研究論文（三角公園）」、文化實踐、文化評論等三類稿件投稿，詳細月報介紹及投稿方式，請參考：http://hermes.hrc.ntu.edu.tw/csa/journal/。
2.「文化批判論壇」則是文化研究學會每月一次舉行的例行活動，除了回應當前文化與社會議題，結合理論與運動的視野，帶動更為積極的文化關注與社會介入，實踐文化研究之批判功能之外，並邀請資深或是新進學者提出階段性研究成果，以便刺激跨領域對話，深化理論性建構。並在月報刊出每月文化批判論壇文稿，以及對於論壇活動的回應與後續討論，歡迎各界朋友提供論壇議題的策劃提案。
學會成立於1998年11月14日，創會宗旨是「提倡文化研究風氣，促進國際學術交流為宗旨。集結來自不同學科領域中，對於『文化研究』具有高度興趣的學者、研究者及文化工作者，期望達到連結、集散、交流與跨越既有學科領域的目標。我們嘗試在研究題材、研究方法、問題意識以及社會實踐上，均能開展出活潑與打破僵閉學科領域的活力」。作為一個創立超過10年的學會，一方面在制度上漸漸略見規模，對於例行活動可有些支持與保障，然而另一方面文化研究學會始終秉持著創會時的想像與自我期許，希望能以活力積極的NGO組織來自我設想，成為連結思想、行動與組織的一個匯流節點，而非終點。也因此，在既有的活動之外，我們在本屆兩年的任期內，將會希望推動底下一些新的構想，也期盼會員與朋友們能繼續支持並貢獻您寶貴的創想：
1.《文化研究月報》：將增加「新聞時事的焦點對話」及「博士生社群」（暫訂名稱）兩個專欄。前者將由月報小組整理編譯每月重要的焦點討論，隨月報同時刊出。月報在過去遭遇重要議題時，也曾整理過相關討論，諸如9/11等事件時。本屆工作團隊希望能此例常化，除了能刺激當下的議題與觀點之外，這些歷史紀錄的流存更能顯露電子期刊的優勢。月報中的「博士生社群」則是本屆工作團隊的新發想。博士生作為一種朝向學術職業生涯的預備軍身分，在公私領域均會遭逢既曖昧又困惑的狀態，我們希望能提供一個某種程度堪稱獨立的場域，鼓勵並支持新世代發展出自己的論述、批判觀點與堅實的研究能力，也能持續關懷社會事件並予以介入。因此，在這個新欄位裡將由博士生自行運作，包括審稿（必須說明為何接受或不接受某些稿件）、籌畫、組織、回應等，皆由編輯小組成員來自行運作。兩項收稿原則初步確認為：(1) 全數中文稿刊出；(2)每期至少2/3作者為博士生（以提供編輯有多點運籌的空間）。由於這個欄位還在草創階段，歡迎有興趣的會員可自告奮勇：(1)加入編輯小組；(2)擔任客編；(3) 提供稿件。
2.「作者面對面」人文社會科學新書座談系列：與一般的新書發表會意在宣傳的出發點不同，學會希望透過「作者面對面」的方式，邀請作（編）者、評論者及編輯三方對談，著重的是有幾個考慮：(1)在文化研究知識圈裡的互動，愈來愈少見在知識批判上的深刻交流，愈來愈多是人際的私下往來。然而，無論站在文化工作者、學者、研究者等各種位置上，或許我們更渴望的是交流彼此正在思考的、想像的、工作中的知識狀態與情狀，透過此座談的安排，期待能對作者、評論者同時產生激盪的火花與動力。(2)我們期待能夠邀請編輯一同現身的原因是，在學術出版的邏輯裡，所有這些編輯均有其自我定位、設想與實際勞動上的困頓與想望，若能補充此一角度，或許我們手頭上正在閱讀的那本書，將有不同的閱讀趣味。
3.「新科博士演講」（暫訂）：學術勞動與全球分工化的狀態下，除了就業市場的困難與私下呢喃之外，我們更有興致的反而是這些新科博士耗費諸多心力進行的研究成果與集合。一般說來，通常知道自己著力甚深的博士論文研究者不會超出口試委員會組成太多，然而這或許是新科博士們最有交談慾望卻少有機會發表的部分。學會秘書處將籌辦一系列在三年內畢業的博士演講，邀請大家來發表自己的博士論文研究，每場將邀請一位相關領域的學者來與談。我們視之為一通過儀式，也希望藉此提供文化研究的新科博士們一個亮相的場所。歡迎有興趣的新生代博士，主動告知聯繫秘書處。
4.年會的構想：文化研究年會每年都是詢問度和參與度最高的幾個學會年會之一。過去幾年的大會習慣勾引出諸多有意思的議題和討論，既有鼓勵新興議題和青年研究者的優勢在這兩年會持續保留，但另一方面也希望能聚焦回到議題的辯論、深刻的思索、運動的連結等，請大家拭目以待。
以上是本屆文化研究學會工作團隊的工作目標，除了要請求各位會員朋友們能夠持續支持並不吝於提供您的寶貴建言之外，更邀約您的介入和貢獻！
敬祝
春暖花開 神清氣爽

Feeling Bad in 2010：酷兒 情感 政治 國際論壇
本次國際論壇，邀請晚近情感政治及酷兒研究重要而具影響力的新秀學者Heather Love來台，從酷兒的文化政治、殘障污名與性污名等情感政治的重要研究領域，與台灣學界及運動界進行交流，希冀透過相互間的對話，再啟台灣在地相關研究及運動的嶄新意義。
Heather Love現任美國賓州大學英語系副教授，刻正於史丹佛人文學中心研究，研究及教學領域包括十九至二十世紀之交的英美文學、酷兒理論與性別研究， 女性主義理論，現代主義與現代性，精神分析與情感研究，社會學與文學，種族與族群，批判性的殘障研究，電影與視覺文化，批判理論等。
Heather Love 教授2007年在哈佛大學出版的重要著作Feeling Backward: Loss and the Politics of Queer History， 針對目前美國酷兒文化政治日益走向貌似光明燦爛、而遺忘或拋卻或必須納入積極面的黑暗過去，以及酷兒研究及運動面對「未來」的兩難性必要，提出重新「回 頭」看負面情感如羞辱、孤單等「黑暗面」的重要。該書探索了幾個十九世紀末到二十世紀初的文學文本，以刻意不忘記酷兒現代性憂鬱的姿態，對於酷兒研究文 學、歷史乃至於當前運動倫理，提出具有轉捩意義的思考，被譽為「酷兒研究的新浪潮」。
Heather Love目前正從事的新研究 “The Stigma Archive” 則不止聚焦於社會性相排斥，而將視野擴及於勾連種族、性別、殘障、階級與其他各種範疇的「污名」，將酷兒研究建立於社會邊緣性的大範疇上，此一新的視野的 提出，必然連帶及於個案研究、比較研究、文學、歷史與社會學等方法論層次的重新深入反思，對於酷兒研究及運動的未來都具有啟發性的洞見。
Heather Love教授已有部份作品中譯出版：〈壞毀的身分認同：史帝芬．高登的孤寂與酷兒歷史的艱難〉及〈拒絕的政治〉二文收錄於《憂鬱的文化政治》（台北：蜃樓，2010）。關於本次國際論壇亦可參考下列Heather Love教授已發表的相關著作：

"On the Politics of Emotion: Feeling Backward, Feeling Bad"
「背」的情感政治
主持人：白瑞梅（中央大學英美文學系教授）
與談人：洪凌（作家，國立中興大學人文與社會科學研究中心博士後研究員）
鄭聖勳（清華大學中文系博士候選人）
謝莉莉（中央大學英美文學系助理教授）
This paper surveys the intersections between gender and sexuality studies and affect studies in recent scholarship. I discuss the significance of emotion in queer political reflection, and suggest that the focus on emotion, experience, and corporeality in this work can be understood as a queering of politics. I take up the recent debates in queer theory about the relative value of positive and negative emotion in analyses of queer existence, staged for instance in an exchange in the journal _PMLA_ on "The Anti-social Thesis in Queer Studies" and in recent books on queer optimism. I argue for the value of negative feeling in queer politics, suggesting that in an era of pride, gay marriage, and the commodification of gay life, bad feelings like shame, regret, and loneliness have both strategic value and historical significance.

"Backwardness and the Future of Queer Politics"
倒退與酷兒政治的未來
主持人：丁乃非（中央大學英美文學系教授）
劉人鵬（清華大學中文系教授）
與談人：王蘋（性別人權協會秘書長）
黃道明（中央大學英美文學系助理教授）
In this talk I will address the significance of negative affect in rethinking the form of contemporary politics. Drawing on my work in my book _Feeling Backward_, I will consider the ways that minor and bad affects -- depression, despair, shame, and longing -- might serve a role in the articulation of alternate forms of community and renewed visions of sociality. I argue that political organizing has tended to favor an extremely limited range of emotion -- primarily hope and anger -- and that we need find ways to mobilize the less heroic and more troubling feelings that underwrite contemporary life. I will address some conceptual attempts to think about the public role of emotion in recent years, and will talk through some examples of activist efforts that draw on negative feeling.

"The Case for Comparison: Stigma Between Disability and Sexuality"
污名的比較：殘障與性
主持人：甯應斌（中央大學哲學所教授）

游靜（香港嶺南大學文化研究系副教授）
Recent activism and theory in the fields of disability and queer studies has focused on the concept of stigma, drawn from a sociological tradition (and particularly from the field of deviance studies). These fields have used the concept of stigma--meaning a discrediting of the subject in public--to draw attention to the social exclusion as well as shame and alienation that sexual outsiders and disabled people experience. The radical wing of each of these fields--queer studies and crip studies--have incorporated the concept of stigma into their self-understanding, choosing names that recall histories of injury. In this talk, I take up the question of comparison across different identity groups. Drawing on my recent research on the Canadian-American sociologist Erving Goffman (and his 1963 book, _Stigma: On the Management of Spoiled Identity_), I ask whether an abstract category like stigma can capture the significant differences of history, experience, and embodiment across social groups. While recent work in queer studies, disability studies, critical race studies, and cultural studies more generally has tended to focus on the local and the specific--offering critiques, for instance, of the "limits of analogy" and of "like race" arguments--I argue that comparison is an indispensable concept for thinking about social exclusion and a valuable resource for coalitional politics.

Call for papers: East Anglis, UK
Call for papers: Cross-Cultural Pragmatics at a Crossroads II: Linguistic and Cultural Representations across Media
Wednesday 29 June-Friday 1 July 2011, University of East Anglia, Norwich UK,
Plenary speakers:
Juliane House (Hamburg University, Germany)
Gunther Kress (University of London. UK)
Michel Marcoccia (Troyes University of Technology, France)
Jeremy Munday (University of Leeds, UK)
Luis Pérez-González (University of Manchester, UK)
Miranda Stewart (Hellenic American University, Athens, Greece)
Registration information now available https://www.uea.ac.uk/ccp2
Abstracts to http://linguistlist.org/confcustom/CCPII 2011 by 15 Nov 2010 (see call for paper below)
This conference is the second in a series launched in 2006 with “Cross-cultural Pragmatics at a Crossroads: Speech Frames and Cultural Perceptions” at the University of East Anglia, and the fourth in a sequence of related events including “Les enjeux de la communication interculturelle” in Montpellier (France) (Université Paul Valéry) in 2007 and “Cross-culturally speaking, speaking cross-culturally” in Sydney (Australia) in 2009 (Macquarie University). Like its 2006 forerunner, this second event will be interdisciplinary. It aims to bring together, under the umbrella of cross-cultural pragmatics, researchers from domains which are particularly sensitive to cross-cultural issues, to promote the cross-fertilization of ideas and theoretical approaches, and explore key concerns associated with communication across language and culture boundaries.
The theme of this second conference is ‘Linguistic and Cultural Representations across Media’, understood broadly as relating to the cross-over of language, mediation activities and media in a multilingual framework. It is intended to encompass communication and information flows in a range of contexts (e.g. the press, television and computer games, cinema, the theatre, museums, and the world wide web or other information channels); and to explore a range of activities central to the sharing of information and knowledge across languages and cultures in a global context: news transfer,multimedia and screen translation (e.g. subtitling, dubbing, etc.), stage translation and adaptation, the provision of multilingual information (e.g. in museums, trade fairs, etc.).
Questions that the conference will aim to explore across media under the theme of linguistic and cultural representations include:
--Representations and the perpetuation of cultural a-priori and/or conflict
--Representations as a vehicle promoting cross-cultural and cross-linguistic sensitivity
--Representations as a locus for (re)-negotiations of individual and group identities
--Representations as agents of hybridization of communicative practices
--Responses to representations
--Shifts in response paradigms
Research papers focusing on the little explored domain of audience reception will be particularly welcome.
The general framework for the conference will be provided by plenary papers delivered by distinguished scholars representing different languages and complementary perspectives: intercultural communication, cross-cultural pragmatics, discourse studies (including media discourse), translation studies (including screen translation and theatre adaptation), with application to English as a lingua franca, French, German, Spanish inter alia. The conference will focus principally, but not exclusively, on European languages, still unevenly represented in cross-cultural pragmatics. It will, by virtue of its themes and of the inbuilt interdisciplinarity of cross-cultural pragmatics generally, be informed by different methodological paradigms (e.g. CA, interactional discourse analysis, discourse analysis, cross- and intercultural pragmatics, politeness theory, psycholinguistics). Proposals, for individual papers (20 minutes) or proposer-led panels on a particular theme (90 to 150 minutes), will be expected clearly to identify their theoretical frame(s) of reference and methodological approach.
Abstract deadline: 15 November 2010
Language: English, French or Spanish
Proposal: 300-word anonymous abstract (600 words for panels) to be submitted through the Linguist List at http://linguistlist.org/confcustom/CCPII 2011
For questions, please contact Valerie Henitiuk at V.Henitiuk@uea.ac.uk

It will, by virtue of its themes and of the inbuilt interdisciplinarity of cross-cultural pragmatics generally, be informed by different methodological paradigms (e.g. CA, interactional discourse analysis, discourse analysis, cross- and intercultural pragmatics, politeness theory, psycholinguistics). Proposals, for individual papers (20 minutes) or proposer-led panels on a particular theme (90 to 150 minutes), will be expected clearly to identify their theoretical frame(s) of reference and methodological approach.
Abstract deadline: 15 November 2010
Language: English, French or Spanish
Proposal: 300-word anonymous abstract (600 words for panels) to be submitted through the Linguist List at http://linguistlist.org/confcustom/CCPII 2011
