Brian Goldfarb is a digital media artist, curator, and Associate
Professor of Communication at the University of California, San Diego.
His research and visual media production focuses on media studies and
contemporary visual and digital culture.
Goldfarb will present his current project, Global Tourette, a digital
documentary and media exchange project that engages cultural and
professional responses to Tourette Syndrome in the US, Argentina,
Mexico, Germany and other contexts internationally. He is also working
on Sense Ability: Fragments on Media Pedagogy, Digital Prosthetics and
Assistive Technology which explores the roles of visual culture and
technology in shaping the concept of [dis]ability and in the development
of techniques for assessing and supporting disabilities relating to the
senses and communication. Sense Ability considers the role of visual
culture, and these technologies in particular, in the emergence of
sensory disability as a concept, and in the development of techniques
for aiding and augmenting physical and sensory abilities since the late
19th century. The project will include both book and multimedia
components.

8th Annual University of South Carolina Comparative Literature
Conference,
February 9-11, 2006
CALL FOR PAPERS: Cultures of Evil and the Attractions of Villainy
Keynote Speakers: Agnes Heller (New School), Geoffrey Bennington
(Emory),
Alberto Moreiras (Duke)
Special Guest: Edmundo Desnoes (Author and Screenwriter)
In the aftermath of the genocide in Rwanda, the arrest of General
Pinochet,
the various indictments of Henry Kissinger, the Iraqi war, and torture,
a
new internationalized panorama of critique has emerged that reassesses
previous assumptions concerning political ethics. This conference takes
up a
central issue of today's post-Cold War world--that of evil--and explores
the
refiguration of the traditional villain.
As globalization has broadened cultural horizons, scholarly research has
sought to address these new complexities with interdisciplinary
approaches,
which this conference aims to encompass.
We welcome proposals for papers and panels on topics that might include
(but
are not limited to) the following: Postnational Justice, The Villain in
Literature, Post-Derridian ethics, Representations of law in film and
literature, Globalization and culture, Politics of Performativity, Third
World Cinema, Cuba, New imperialisms, perception of evil in shaping acts
of
war and terror, etc.
Please send one-page abstracts for twenty-minute papers to the
conference
organizers at the following e-mail address:
CulturesofEvil@earthlink.net
Or write to: Maria Mabrey, Conference Coordinator
Comparative Literature Program
1620 College St.
University of South Carolina
Columbia, SC 29208
Deadline for proposals: November 15, 2005.
