[ecrea] CfP - Sexualities 8: (de)construction - (re)presentation

Wed Jun 25 18:30:22 GMT 2014




Let us invite you to the 8th International Scientific Conference SEXUALITIES which will be held in Olomouc, the Czech Republic, on 9th -- 11th October 2014.

The conference will be focused on (de)constructions and (re)presentations of sexuality (and gender). We suggest to think of the topic of sexualities in a wide variety of its aspects and approaches. The conference welcomes contributions that will (de)construct sexualities in their historical, institutional, local and political dimensions and (re)presentations, as well as those that will critically consider the ways in which different disciplines or research approaches (re)produce sexualities.

We would also like to highlight the section focused on media and popculture. This particular program block was sadly overlooked in the past. This year we would like to change the position of popculture and media studies in the debate about (de)construction and (re)presentation of gender and sexuality.

We are also delighted to announce that one of the key-note speeches will be held by prof. Jeffrey Weeks. And from the field of studies in popular culture, dr. Janet McCabe accepted our invitation. Other interesting guests of the conference are still in negotiation.

We encourage scholars from various fields that approach the topic of sexualities to apply for the conference and submit the abstract. The deadline for the submission is July 15, 2014. More information about the conference is attached in the official conference call for papers, or you can find it in the English section of our website (http://www.konferencesexuality.eu/node/35).

You can also join us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/events/836384646376885) or follow on Twitter (@SexualityConfer).
