- Description
- The Seventh International Association for Cultural Studies Crossroads Conference, held in 2008 at the University of the West Indies, in Mona, Jamaica, was staged for the first time with an overarching theme. Based on the cultural, spiritual and geographical diversity of the Caribbean region, the local conference organizing team insisted that the conference needed to reflect key aspects of the space. Consequently, the theme selected was “Of Sacred Crossroads”. The conference call for papers asked for a consideration of issues surrounding the dialogue between humanity and spirituality. In the face of increasing materialism and consumerism, as well as the prevailing emphasis on science and technology in contemporary society, participants celebrated the intangible heritage of humankind--that found in religion, art, dance, song, oratory, healing, re-creation, performance, ritual, belief systems, ethics, globalization and communication, among others.
