[ecrea] CFP: The Global and the Intimate (SCMS 2010)

>Cfp for SCMS, March 10-13, 2011, New Orleans ­ The Global and the Intimate
>With a focus on the transnational marginalized 
>subject, this panel seeks to discuss various 
>forms of performances where the subject emerges 
>in its global entanglement. How do we grasp the 
>idea of social, economic and political facets of 
>global relations through the intimate experience 
>of individual bodies-- particularly those of 
>women and labor? How do we grasp â¬Sthe 
>intimate⬝ (a set of relations, kinship, 
>sexuality, corporeality, internal thought, 
>speech, emotions, affect) through systems 
>connected to global forces and like trade, 
>profit; law, citizenship, and migration; 
>cultural exchange, social movement, tourism? 
>What does the transnational body produce that is 
>unforeseen, unmeasured and negotiates, 
>reproduces, resists the conditions of its own coming into being?
>We are interested in looking at media as a place 
>to explore the transnational body-- inquiring 
>about such notions as: choice, the desire for 
>consciousness and the possibility of desire, 
>coherence of singularity and the problem of 
>coherence and being, all evolving within 
>particular frameworks of space and temporality.
>We seek writings on media as well as media works 
>that contribute to questions about the 
>influences upon and products of transnational bodies.

>Please submit paper abstracts (300 words, Word 
>attachment) until August 10, 2010 to
