[ecrea] Cfp conference Law's Pluralities. Cultures, Narratives, Images, Genders.

we are welcoming papers from a variety of disciplinary perspectives are 
invited to address the plurality of law and to reflect on law’s 
narrative qualities, its relationship to the visual and the medial, and 
on the interface of law with sexuality and gender. The conference will 
include sessions in German and English on Law’s Pluralities, Law’s 
Narratives, Law’s Images, and Law’s Sexualities/Genders. 
Contributions are invited which aim to elucidate the theoretical issues 
described above or which address specific socio-legal issues. Questions 
to be raised by conference papers might include the following:

—How does the increasing plurality of legal cultures interact with 
other normative frameworks such as those offered by religion and moral 
values?

—What new narratives of the legal are developing due to the increased 
hybridity of EU law and the greater heterogeneity of national populations?

—How are new understandings of the law transported in popular media 
forms, through visual texts, and materially? Particular case studies 
that point to larger theoretical issues are also invited.

—How are subjects framed by and through their legal frameworks, 
including their knowledge of legal norms; and how is this process 
facilitated by popular culture?

—How are normative expectations of gender and sexuality changing, and 
how are these changes reflected in – or absent from – legal 
discourse and legislation?

—How do such changes affect discourse, legal and otherwise, concerning 
kinship and family?
