London Conference in Critical Thought 2017
London South Bank University
30 June & 1 July 2017
Call for Papers
The sixth annual London Conference in Critical Thought (LCCT), hosted by the School of Law and Social Sciences at London South Bank University, will offer a space for an interdisciplinary exchange of ideas for scholars who work with critical traditions and concerns. It aims to provide opportunities for those who frequently find themselves at the margins of their department or discipline to engage with other scholars who share theoretical approaches and interests.
Central to the vision of the conference is an inter-institutional, non-hierarchal, and accessible event that makes a particular effort to embrace emergent thought and the participation of emerging academics, fostering new avenues for critically-oriented scholarship and collaboration.
The conference is divided into thematic streams, each coordinated by different researchers and with separate calls for papers, included in this document. We welcome paper proposals that respond to the particular streams below. In addition, papers may be proposed as part of a general stream, i.e. with no specific stream in mind. Spanning a range of broad themes, these streams provide the impetus for new points of dialogue.
- Art in the Time of Capital
- A/Political Feeling
- Bridging Memory, Temporality and the Digital
- Constructing Cultures of Collective Freedom
- Desire and the Political: Exploring the Not-All of Language

- The Good is Perfected by Care
- Habit, Addiction, and Thought
- NUDGE: Interdisciplinary perspectives on choice architecture
