Tips to write an abstract!
Dear prospective Participants,
I would like to share with you a very useful document about how to write a conference abstract.
I am thinking in particular to our French-speaking and Spanish-speaking candidates who might not be used to this kind of exercise since it is so typical to North American academia.
Do not ne afraid of submitting your project because you think it won't fit the required format.
Please, remember: we are not looking for perfect abstracts but we are first interested in good projects!
Here is the webpage with all the information you need to write an abstract:

Recycling Culture(s): Poetics and Practices of Sustainability – Call for
Papers
Moments of crisis make
possible new forms of expression, including cultural initiatives, social
cooperatives, and political movements informed by diverse concepts of recycling
and sustainability. “Recycling” engulfs more than reusing materials: it also means
re-appropriating and repurposing ideas, resources, and forms of cultural
production to new ends. For instance, the Cartonera
publishing groups of Buenos Aires; Milan’s “Piano City;” Casablanca’s Abbatoirs; the repurposed pieces of
tire, plastic, and metal that enclose and adorn André Eugène’s mother and child
in Ayiti Pap Peri; and Miami’s
Wynwood Arts District all emerge from radically distinct situations of local
crisis, and yet, they share sustainable and communal approaches to
understanding and addressing social, political, and economic quandaries that
exist across the globe.
With these broad
interests in mind, we invite abstracts in English, French, Portuguese, and
Spanish related to:
- Recycling in and of literature
- Reimagining forms of cultural production
- Praxis of the book as a material object
- Re-thinking and re-appropriating cultural spaces
- The shift from print to virtual communication and its environmental impact
- Salvaging ideas
- Sustainability practices in social and cultural movements
- The poetics of recycling and sustainability in the literary, visual, and performing arts
Abstracts
should be sent by November 10 to: recyclingcultures@gmail.com.
