[Commlist] Love, Violence and Feminine Resistance Conference CFP

Wed Feb 22 12:22:40 GMT 2023





*Love, Violence and Feminine Resistance Conference CFP*

The Global Latinidades Project in cooperation with The Multicultural Center, and The Graduate Center for Literary Research at the University of California, Santa Barbara

Interdisciplinary Conference:

Love, Violence, and Feminine Resistance:
Dis-/placement, Reckoning, and Reconciliation
12/05/2023

Keynote:
Carolina Sourdis, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona

This interdisciplinary conference approaches the phenomena of forced displacement and mass migration by focusing on works of dis-/placed female artists and exploring the ways that these artists have articulated and imagined myriad forms of identity, resistance, belonging, and home. This conference invites paper proposals, video essays (finished and works-in-progress) to reflect on how the material and symbolic dilemmas of dis-/placement, definitions/categorizations of “female”, and conceptualizations of inside and outside—from the boundaries of nation states, to the familial, to those of race, class, gender, and sexuality—are negotiated across aesthetic categories and transnational geographies. This conference sets out to trace, then, the ways in which poetics of dis-/placement and re-/integration might communicate contemporary entanglements of love, violence, and feminine resistance and consider how notions of reckoning and reconciliation might counter structural violence(s), criminalization, and racialization related to myriad forms of female of dis-/placement. At the same time, this event aims to consider the racial and cultural tensions of dis-/placement and take into account the limits and possibilities of building
communities across racial, cultural, geographical, and generational borders.

While all proposals are welcome under this larger, broader thematic, we especially invite proposals that focus on the works of dis-/placed Latin American female artists in particular.

Possible topics of papers and video essays include, but are not limited to:

• Poetics and politics of dis-/placement in film, literature and art
• Displaced identities and mobile boundaries
• “Feminine” subjectivities as political resistance
• Gendered subjectivities and memory politics
• Artistic imaginings of home and belonging
• Racial, cultural and de-colonial tensions of displacement
• Afro Latinx Female aesthetics
• Critical examinations of political and legal definitions/categorizations or public discourses
about human rights, criminalization, and racialization
• Considerations of how intimate and/or subjective narratives might coalesce into collective
and political dimensions
• The ethics of representation and storytelling
• Internal exile and gender
• Racialized dispossession and dis-/placement
• Labor
• And more

We ask that all presentations be limited to 20 minutes. For video essays, the presentation can consist of a maximum of 10 minutes of screening (an excerpt can be chosen if the essay exceeds
this limit) with the remaining time dedicated to presentation by the author.
Proposals must comprise a 300-word max abstract for papers, and for the video essay a 300-word author statement where the sources of the images that are used in the essay are specified. All proposals should also include full name, affiliation (if any) and a 100-word bio. We especially invite hybrid proposals between scholarly and creative work. Presentations in English or Spanish are welcome. Lastly, thanks to the generosity of the Global Latinidades Project and the Multicultural Center, limited funding for airfare, lodging, etc. is available for some accepted
presentations (via reimbursement).

Conferencia Interdisciplinar:
Afecto, violencia y resistencia femenina: Desplazamiento, reconocimiento y reconciliación.
Universidad de California, Santa Bárbara

Keynote:
Carolina Sourdis, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona

Esta conferencia interdisciplinar aborda el fenómeno del desplazamiento y la migración masiva a través de obras de artistas desplazadas, migradas o exiliadas que plantean diversas formas de identidad, resistencia y arraigo. La conferencia convoca comunicaciones y video ensayos (terminados y work-in-progress) para reflexionar sobre cómo los dilemas materiales y simbólicos del desplazamiento, las definiciones y categorizaciones de lo “femenino” y las conceptualizaciones sobre lo interno y lo externo—de los bordes de la nación, lo familia, la raza, la clase, el género o la sexualidad—se establecen como categorías estéticas en geografías transnacionales. La conferencia tiene como objetivo trazar las formas en las que las poéticas del desplazamiento y la (re)integración pueden plantear relaciones entre el afecto, la violencia y la resistencia femenina y considerar las nociones de reconocimiento y reconciliación como oposición a la violencia, criminalización y racialización estructural que se vincula con diversas formas de migración y desplazamiento. Al mismo tiempo la conferencia pretende reflexionar sobre la tensiones culturales y raciales en torno a la migración y pensar sobre los límites y posibilidades de construir comunidades a través de los bordes raciales, culturales, geográficos y generacionales.

Aunque todas las propuestas en este amplio eje temático son bienvenidas, tenemos un interés especial por las propuestas enfocadas en artistas latinoamericanas en particular.

Las presentaciones consistirán en 20 minutos. Para los video ensayos, la presentación puede consistir en máximo 10 minutos de proyección (se puede escoger un fragmento del ensayo si este excede esa duración) y 10 minutos de presentación.

Las propuestas de las comunicaciones deben consistir en un abstract de 300 palabras. Para los video ensayos solicitamos un author statement de 300 palabras en donde se especifiquen las fuentes de las imágenes que se trabajan en el ensayo. Todas las propuestas deben incluir nombre, afiliación (si la hay) y una bio de 100 palabras. Convocamos especialmente propuestas que estén en el límite del trabajo académico y creativo. Aceptamos propuestas en Castellano e inglés. Gracias a la generosidad del Global Latinidades Project and the Multicultural Center, hay fondos limitados para financiar vuelos domésticos y hospedaje vía reembolso.

Las propuestas deben ser enviadas a:
(conference.lvfr.ucsb /at/ gmail.com) <mailto:(conference.lvfr.ucsb /at/ gmail.com)>
