Des genres au queer, pratiques artistiques contemporaines

19-20-21 février - Nice

Tandis que les mouvements féministes datent des années 1960, depuis 2005, les relations entre les pratiques artistiques et les différentes formes de théorisation des politiques identitaires imprègnent les musées à Los Angeles, Paris, Tokyo sous les termes de global feminism, gender ou queer studies. L’heure semble à l’historicisation.

Usages des théories queer. Normes, sexualités, pouvoir

Paris

Des concepts et approches issus des théories queer - des ouvrages fondateurs, pour beaucoup d’entre eux écrits dans le contexte académique états-unien, aux ramifications plus récentes des performance studies, postcolonial queer studies, trans studies et autres, y compris en Europe - ont inspiré nombre de recherches empiriques autour de la déconstruction des normes de genre et de sexualité.

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.

Feminist, queer and postcolonial subjectivities in contemporary art : a history in motion

Avant le 15 décembre - Rennes 2

Since their explosion at the end of the 1960s, the historical feminist struggles have irrigated both artistic practices and theories, infusing fertile interchanges. On the one hand, by deconstructing discourses, images and ideologies that are shaping gender oppression in art, academic feminism has developed a new historiography. On the other hand, in order to raise issues of identity politics, artists have taken hold of this theoretical effervescence.

Anne E. Duggan, Enchantements désenchantés. Les contes queer de Jacques Demy

L’approche théorique d’Anne Duggan sur l’œuvre de Demy rompt radicalement avec le consensus critique, puisqu’elle choisit de se placer dans le double éclairage des études sur le conte (dont elle retrouve les archétypes jusque dans Lola et dans Les Parapluies de Cherbourg) et des queer studies.

Jasbir K. Puar, Homonationalisme. Politiques queers après le 11 Septembre

Dans le monde de l’après-11 Septembre, l’idéologie du « choc des civilisations » se combine à celle d’un « choc des sexualités ». Nous aurions d’un côté le monde occidental, tolérant et libéral, de l’autre le monde musulman, sexiste et homophobe.

Sigrid Schmitz, Grit Höppner (ed.), Gendered Neurocultures. Feminist and Queer Perspectives on Current Brain Discourses

Brain research is a key to the question of what constitutes the human. With its methods of brain imaging—and thus the apparent ability to “see” into the “living brain at work”—human behavior seems to be explainable and predictable. This anthology presents differentiated analyses of scientific knowledge production concerned with sex/gender and the brain. It gives insight into the gendered norms that frame current neurocultures and explores the transformation as well as the perpetuation of these norms.

« 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.
