Call for Papers – International Conference on 'Localities through Mobility.
Cultures of Motorway in Contemporary Europe'

Section of Contemporary Cultural Studies in the Department of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań (Poland) announces call for papers for international, interdisciplinary conference entitled 'Localities through Mobility. Cultures of Motorway in Contemporary Europe'. The conference will be held on 11-12 June 2014 in Poznań (Poland).

The main aim of the conference is to explore the multifaceted connections between locality understood as socio-cultural practice, grass roots economies and the present development of motorways.

We invite contributions from every relevant perspective and field (anthropology, sociology, geography, economics, geoinformatics, development planning ) that cover the following areas:

phenomenon of motorway as a specific cultural landscape;
cultural, economic and social aspects of modernization in the context of motorway;
construction of motorways as a production of new forms of enterprise and new way of facing the trauma of big changes;
culture of transport and logistics (flow, mobility; cultural landscapes; objects of/through movement);
anthropology of motorway (motorway and roadside spaces; different social actors and motorway; seasonal character of socio-economic practices connected to the road);
motorway as a factor of development;
cultural dimension of a suburban infrastructure (suburbanization, splintering urbanism; local/ suburb/provincial/rural economies and business; roadside and suburb aesthetics; motels, roadside trading, prostitution).
