If things are ‘un-Australian’ it must be because they come from UNAUSTRALIA.
Where is it?
Who lives there?
How does it come to be?
What is its past and what is its future?

While raising some very local questions of critique and desire, the theme is open to international perspectives and interpretations. Do other places have their own unplaces? What goes on there?

Closing date for submissions: June 30th, 2006

The conference will feature both refereed and non-refereed twenty minute papers, and a curated exhibition of creative works. Professor Jacques Rancière, author of Disagreement, will deliver the keynote address in the Australian Parliament House. Confirmed Australasian keynotes include Professor John Frow and Associate Professor Catharine Lumby. Professor Rancière’s address will be followed by a cocktail party in the marble foyer of Parliament House. Other venues include the University of Canberra, and the National Museum of Australia’s Garden of Australian Dreams.
