INSTITUTE FOR THE STUDY OF THE AMERICAS The Institute for the Study of the Americas (ISA) was founded in 2004 through the merger of the Institute of Latin American Studies and the Institute of United States Studies, both of which were established in 1965. ISA promotes, coordinates and provides a focus for research and postgraduate teaching in history and the social sciences on the Americas – Canada, the US, Latin America and the Caribbean – and plays a national and international role as a coordinating and information centre for all parts of the hemisphere at the postgraduate level in the universities of the UK.

The classical tradition is conceived as the theme which unifies the history of Western civilisation. The bias is not towards ‘classical’ values in art and literature: students and scholars will find represented all the strands that link medieval and modern civilisation with its origins in the ancient cultures of the Near East and the Mediterranean.

(Re)branding feminism There has been a general recognition, if not acceptance, of many of feminism’s key concepts. But does this mean that it has ceased to assert itself as a unique movement? Indeed, should feminism be (re)branded in an age when all ideologies are subject to market forces? And what should this rebranding consist of?

2nd Biennial War Crimes Conference: Justice?

Whose Justice? Punishment, mediation or reconciliation Speakers include: Lesley Abdela (Project Parity), Kasaija Appuli (Makerere); Jose Pablo Baraybar (EPAF, Peru), Bill Bowring (Birkbeck), Lorie Charlesworth (Liverpool John Moores), Adrawa Lawrence Dulu (Development Peace, Uganda), David Fraser (Nottingham), Szymon Janczarek (ECHR, Poland), Frode Lindgjerdet (NTNU Museum, Norway), Cissa Wa Numbe (UNA-DCR), Shirley Randell (Kigali), Niaz Shah (Hull), Ilam MD. Shahinur (ICT, Bangladesh), Susanna Sacouto, Washington College), Silke Studzinky (ECCC, Cambodia), Juan Santos Vara (Salamanca), James Waller (Keene State), Kris Wetherholt (HMF, USA).

This conference will explore themes surrounding judicial roles and responses to war crimes (broadly construed) - past, present and future - and also responses to such initiatives, from victims/victors, interested agencies and commentators, including the UN, NATO and various local, regional and international NGOs. Papers will consider questions such as whether the history of such prosecutions indicate that they should simply expose/reveal or whether they should always punish; what is the role of mediation in the interests of revelations of ‘truth’, and what impact can strategies for reconciliation have. Developments in areas like forensic anthropology will also be considered, and the issues surrounding how witness testimony should be managed within the legal process. Consideration of the ethical or moral basis for war crimes prosecutions, and the problem of their chronological dimensions provide a focus for other discussions. Speakers and delegates will debate when, if ever, it ceases to be practical or useful, in terms of successful post-conflict reconstruction to pursue war crimes prosecutions?

A particular focus will be on the International Criminal Court, where the Court’s actions indicate that it is taking on the role of the conscience of the world. Does the future of war crime prosecutions lie solely, or mainly, with the ICC? Is this acceptable, given the lack of universal global support for the ICC?

Chaucer and celebrity: the fourth London Chaucer conference Speakers include: Alexandra Gillespie (University of Toronto), Thomas Prendergast (College of Wooster).

Our current obsession with celebrity has had a profound, even distorting effect on the contemporary literary market and cultures of reading. A new reliance on ghost-writing and a fascination with fame and scandal, for example, have disrupted post-enlightenment fixations on the author-category and literary merit, bringing us to an interesting point of contact with earlier cultures of literacy. As the reputation of Geoffrey Chaucer himself demonstrates, the simultaneously repellent and fascinating nature of modern celebrity culture presents clear parallels with that of the late medieval world. Chaucer’s own celebrity emerged quickly and has been enduring. From the seemingly reverent imitations of his contemporaries and followers - like Usk, Hoccleve and Lydgate - through the popularity of Chauceriana in early modern print, to the countless appropriations and adaptations of his work in our own times, Chaucer has been a more or less constant star within the English literary canon. And Chaucer was deeply interested in questions of celebrity: in the relationship between fame and authority, in the fame of literary creations such as the Wife of Bath, in legends and lives.

Book destruction Much attention has been given in recent years to the book as a material, historical object and its possible technological obsolescence in the era of digitization. Such reflections have tended to concentrate on the production and cultural circulation of books, their significance and their power to shape knowledge and subjectivities. But there is another aspect to our interactions with the book which remains relatively unexplored: the history of book destruction.

In certain circumstances books are treated not with reverence but instead with violence or disregard.

Calls for papers Sovereignty in Question Tuesday 28 June – Thursday 30 June, 2011 Institute of Advanced Legal Studies CFP deadline: 21 March 2011 The W G Hart Legal Workshop 2011 will explore the multi-faceted concept of sovereignty. In a pivotal study ‘Questioning Sovereignty’, Professor Neil MacCormick (in whose memory the workshop is dedicated) argued that in the face of regional and international developments former understandings of state and nation and of sovereignty were increasingly outdated. At a supra-national level this idea has already raised the spectre of a new legal order based on a European ‘super state’ with the potential further to transcend traditional views of sovereignty and the sovereign state. Meanwhile, in the United Kingdom for example, established constitutional doctrine in the form of Parliamentary Sovereignty has also now to be considered against the backdrop of the Human Rights Act, the devolution of power to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and the creation of a Supreme Court. Equally however, comparative constitutional discourse confirms the continuing appeal of the concept of sovereignty and its great capacity for reinvention, whether this is in the context of a powerful pull of ideas about local identity (plurinational democracies) or the determinedly globalising guise of international organisations. Focused both on the internal and external aspects, the workshop will aim to consider these various dimensions of sovereignty, examined from a legal, theoretical, political and historical perspective.
