Avant le 26 novembre - Varsovie (Pologne)

20 years since the reclamation of the word ?queer ? by the LGBTQ

themes of queer sexualities through time and space, non-normative
sexual constructions and queer sexual identities from a diverse range
of perspectives by scholars working in various academic disciplines.

Karli June Cerankowski, Megan Milks (eds.), Asexualities. Feminist and Queer Perspectives

What is so radical about not having sex ? To answer this question, this collection of essays explores the feminist and queer politics of asexuality. Asexuality is predominantly understood as an orientation describing people who do not experience sexual attraction. In this multidisciplinary volume, the authors expand this definition of asexuality to account for the complexities of gender, race, disability, and medical discourse.

Intersecting Contradiction ? Queering Religion, Religious Queers

Avant le 6 janvier 2012

This collection will consider how religious identity interplays with other forms and contexts of identity, specifically those related to sexual identity (Stein, 2001 ; Yip, 2005 ; Taylor, 2009). It asks how these intersections are formed, negotiated and resisted across time and places : ‘contradictions’ are both privately and publically inhabited in the context of legislative change and increasing, but often competing, socio-legal recognition.

Alessia Acquistapace, "Partire da sè - Methodological challenges of a queer ethnography"

19 mars - Paris

Since the beginning of my fieldwork with the collective Smaschieramenti, I used “autoinchiesta” (“self-inquiry”) as a method of field research, analysis and political action at the same time. Topics were discussed starting from the personal experiences and needs of the members of the collective, and from the collective analysis of these lived experiences arose a set of unusual questions, that were later addressed to people outside the group.

Cornelia Möser, "La ‘généalogisation’ comme outil d’empowerment dans les luttes queer et féministes. Une réflexion critique"

6 janvier 2012 - Paris Pouchet

Certains groupes féministes ont développé des techniques de production de savoir qui se situent en rupture avec le savoir androcentrique comme le consciousness raising, c’est-à-dire, la production du savoir à partir des expériences vécues.

« Wet Theory » : Creative Writing as Affective Lever in Feminist & Queer Criticism

Avant le 30 septembre

Over the past two decades, feminist and queer critics have increasingly
integrated forthright expressions of their own affective investments into
their writing. This forthrightness has inspired a wealth of deviations from
the norms of formal, scholarly discourse but little consideration has been
given to how these experiments have contributed to theoretical knowledge.
In an attempt to address this oversight, this roundtable seeks papers that
explore how moments of “creative writing” in feminist and queer criticism -
fictionalized dialogues, fannish effusions, speculative scenarios,
multi-media/formal experiments, and personal narratives – function as
methods for engaging affective experience and developing theoretical
insight.
