[ecrea] CFP Endangered Bodies: Representing and Policing the Body in Western Popular Culture

International Conference "/Endangered Bodies: Representing and Policing 
the Body in Western Popular Culture"/

*Date:* 8 and 9 October, 2018

*Venue:* School of Arts and Humanities, University of Lisbon (Portugal)

    We are now accepting submissions for the International Conference 
"/Endangered bodies: Representing and Policing the Body in Western 
Popular Culture/", to be held in Lisbon, and organized by the CILM 
project <http://cilm.letras.ulisboa.pt/> (City and [In]security in 
Literature and Media), hosted by the Center for Comparative Studies of 
the School of Arts and Humanities of the University of Lisbon 
<http://www.letras.ulisboa.pt/pt/>.


    Taking the notion of "endangered bodies" as the genesis and point 
of departure for this conference, and against the background of some 
redefining events of the 21st century that have entailed multiple 
responses and critical counteractions - such as the election / 
administration of Donald Trump in the USA, the political assassination 
of human rights activist Marielle Franco, or the #MeToo Movement - we 
aim to promote an interdisciplinary debate over different types of 
representations of bodies in popular culture, in a (trans)national and 
comparative perspective. With this conference, therefore, we invite you 
to consider, explore, and critique policing approaches to the body as a 
gendered, sexual, racial, class-specific and / or political site.


    The deadline for submissions (max 300 words) is the *31^st  of 
July*. The proposals should be sent to 
(endangeredbodies /at/ letras.ulisboa.pt) 
<mailto:(endangeredbodies /at/ letras.ulisboa.pt)>.
