Challenging Ownership: Meanings, Space and Identity
Convenor
Call for Papers
Abstracts may only be submitted via the Easy Chair system
. They must be no longer than 300 words and must include your title, name and institutional affiliation and your email address for correspondence.
The deadline for the submissions is Monday 19 January 2015.
The title of this stream embraces conflicts over ownership as well as challenges to the meaning of the concept of 'ownership'. Papers are welcomed which address any context in which the law seeks to define, regulate, limit or conceptualise the ownership of tangible or intangible property.
In particular this might encompass:
• The emergence of new forms of land ownership or regulation
• The current reform of planning law
• The boundaries between public and private ownership e.g. in the context of environmental and heritage protection
• The relationship of property (including intangible, indigenous and cultural property) to individual or collective identity (social, local or national)
Contributions which cross traditional disciplinary boundaries are particularly welcome.
If you have any questions please contact one of the convenors.
