MeCCSA Conference Falmouth. CONFERENCE THEME: BEYOND THE EDGE

Cornwall’s distinctive location, on the far coast of the UK, the margins of Europe, and the brink of the Atlantic lends itself to contemplation of edges, and that which lies beyond them. 

There is always something beyond a notional edge, whether conceived in terms of: the line between disciplines or subject areas; the edge of innovation in a technical, theoretical or artistic sense; cultural and social transitions and liminality; the line between truth and falsehood; notions of geographic and social borders, internationalism and transnationalism; the spaces and boundaries between labour and leisure; the limits and possibilities of communication technologies and practices; ‘edgy’ culture and the digital world; or the boundaries of ‘the acceptable’.
