Free Cultural Translation Conference at Cardiff University:
If you'd like to come, let me know at BowmanP@cardiff.ac.uk

The conference is free and hence 'no frills'. Please be ready to pay for your own refreshments. Sorry!

I’ve just finished a reasonable first draft of a chapter for a book on Europe and Queer. My chapter is provisionally called “Sick Man of Asia Crosses The River: Bruce Lee and Queer Cultural Translation”. It’s here:

It’s too long and could doubtless benefit from a good edit and redraft. But here you are anyway.
Three Year AHRC Funded Collaborative Doctoral Studentship Cardiff Docklands from the 1850's to the 1960's Cardiff University - School of English, Communication and Philosophy
IN COLLABORATION WITH BUTETOWN HISTORY & ARTS CENTRE
THIS IS A SECOND CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
APPLICATIONS ARE INVITED FROM WELL-QUALIFIED CANDIDATES FOR A 3-YEAR STUDENTSHIP BEGINNING 1 JANUARY 2010. THE PROJECT TITLE IS:
RACE, CULTURAL DIVERSITY AND REPRESENTATION IN PRESS COVERAGE AND COLLECTIVE MEMORY OF CARDIFF DOCKLANDS FROM THE 1850S TO THE 1960S
This project involves detailed analysis of how life in Cardiff Docklands (especially "Tiger Bay") was depicted in the press over 110 years from the 1850s until the redevelopment of the 1960s. Press coverage of the area will be compared and contrasted with memories and stories found in oral history interviews with local residents and in written life stories. A major resource for the research will be the rich, unique archive held by Butetown History & Arts Centre, a community-based initiative in Cardiff Docklands (www.bhac.org ).
The key focus of the research will be the representation of racialised, religious and ethnic differences and how these are constructed, reproduced and challenged. The student will spend 50% of his or her time at Butetown History & Arts Centre and will also be fully involved in the postgraduate research activities of the Centre for Critical and Cultural Theory (http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/encap/research/ccct/index.html). The project will be supervised by Professor Chris Weedon (Director, Centre for Critical and Cultural Theory) and Dr Glenn Jordan (Director, Butetown History & Arts Centre).
