CULTURE FIX
University of Technology, Sydney
25-27 November 2005
preFIX, sufFIX what is happening in culture and cultural studies as prefixes and suffixes multiply their attachments to words such as history, science, politics, sex, race, class, bodies and education? What are Cultural Histories, Cultural Writing, Cultural Politics, Cultural Performance, Science Cultures and Feminist or Indigenous Cultural Studies?
getting a FIX staving off a hunger, feeding a craving by the imbibing of ‘cultural product' in the shape of music, sex, theatre, film, television, celebrities, books, drugs, comics, visual arts, new media and other forms of popular and high culture speaks to the ways in which ideas of addiction, euphoria, ecstasy and ordinary pleasure are particularly conjured up by culture and the cultural.
in a FIX and yet for some, Cultural Studies continues to be in a fix as in a ‘tight place', a predicament, a dilemma, a problem, a difficulty. Is it?
