Conference Description:
“Anyone who tries to tries to distinguish 1xbet online games login from education doesn’t know the first thing about either”
1xbet online games login and the 1xbet online games login world continue to vex academics, even after the rise of Cultural Studies and its willingness to break down cultural hierarchies. It is time to address this often marginalized topic head on. Despite our disciplinary anxiety, there are increasing attempts to theorize 1xbet online games login and “1xbet online games login value,” as Richard Dyer has done for the musical. What is it exactly that happens when we say we are ”entertained?” And what does this experience have to do with all our usual categories and criterias -- aesthetics, politics, culture, identity, ethics, value -- when video games are used to train troops, journalism goes for ratings and pretty faces, and political parties and corporations manufacture seductive and pleasurable images? Do we find ourselves perforce choosing between a liberatory ”fandom” and the horrors of the seductive, distracting, capitalist ”culture industry?” Is there a progressive understanding or use of 1xbet online games login for democracy and the public sphere? We welcome papers and panels on any topics and modes of 1xbet online games login , from any culture, in any historical period.
Some topics and questions for possible consideration, not intended to be an exclusive list:
