CfP: „The Problem of Source in Women’s Memory“ (Event, Istanbul), extended Deadline: 21.10.2008
20th Anniversary – International Symposium of Women’s Library and Information Center Foundation in Istanbul
From 17-19 April 2009, as part of our 20th anniversary celebrations, the Women’s Library and Information Centre [WLIC] will be holding an international symposium on “The Problem of Sources and Women’s Memory.”
The symposium will offer, we believe, the broadest examination to date on “sources in women’s studies and women’s history.” Our aim is to create a setting in which a broad range of international women researchers and women historians can come together and share their research findings.
We are addressing the issue of sources because in Turkey, as in many other parts of the world, women researchers and women historians find these sources at their disposal rarely include gender-based classifications. We hope that this symposium will provide an opportunity to share experiences about problems tackled and solved (or not, as the case may be) in using these sources. In addition, we plan to develop a common gender-based policy on Continue reading

CfP: Politik – Parteiarbeit – Pazifismus in der Emigration: Frauen handeln (Tagung: Kochel am See), Deadline: 1.10.2008
Die Arbeitsgemeinschaft „Frauen im Exil“ in der Gesellschaft für Exilforschung e.V. plant, ihre 19. interdisziplinäre, internationale Tagung in Kooperation mit der Georg-von-Vollmar-Akademie e.V. Schloss Aspenstein in Kochel am See vom 30. Oktober bis zum 1. November 2009 zu veranstalten.
Das Thema „Politik – Parteiarbeit – Pazifismus in der Emigration: Frauen handeln“ soll die vielfältigen Facetten der politischen Arbeit und des Politikverständnisses von Frauen in der Opposition zum NS-Regime und im Exil verdeutlichen. Als Ausgangspunkt ist die historische Frauenbewegung zu sehen, die ihren Kampf für die Partizipation an der Gestaltung der politischen Verhältnisse und für die Verwirklichung eines selbstbestimmten Lebens geführt hat und in der Zeit der Weimarer Republik wichtige Schritte einleiten konnte. Demzufolge widmet sich die Tagung dem gewaltsamen Abbruch der Emanzipationsprozesse 1933 unter den Fragestellungen: Auf welchen unterschiedlichen Tätigkeitsfeldern, aus welchen Motiven und mit welchem Selbstverständnis setzten Frauen unter den Bedingungen von Verfolgung und Exil die politische Arbeit fort und modifizierten sie.
- Zum ersten geht es um die Frauen in der parteigebundenen Arbeit in der SPD und KPD Continue reading
CfP: „Utopie“ (Publikation: Fiber), Deadline: 16.09.2008
fiber #14 – „UTOPIE“: Text- und Bildbeiträge wanted
Es ist wieder so weit. Der Sommer ist fast vorbei, die fiber-Meute kommt wieder in die Gänge und läuft alsbald auf Hochtouren. Einem neuen Heft entgegen. Hoch hinaus, mit einem utopischen Themenschwerpunkt. Und damit geben wir der fiber-Winterausgabe ein vertrauensvolles Leuchten: Es gibt ein Licht am Ende des Tunnels, es wird wieder Frühling werden!
Eingefallen wäre uns viel, doch „Utopie“ ist der Begriff der Stunde. Was ist Utopie? Abgelutscht? Bloß wieder eines der Unworte aus noch nicht so lang vergangenen Tagen? Ähnlich wie „Ideologie“, „Politik“ … oder „Feminismus“ – ja, auch der?! Ist Utopie der Folterkeller, auf dem denkwürdige Luftschlösser errichtet werden, oder einer, in den man_frau zum Lachen geht, weil sich der Alltagsirrsinn sonst kaum aushalten ließe? Ist es die Insel, auf der viele Gegenläufer_innen ihren eigenen Staat ausgerufen haben, oder der Schmollwinkel, in den sich die auf Wasser und Brot verabreden, die längst aufgegeben haben?
Ist Utopie nicht auch Continue reading
CfP: Everyday Reloaded + Masculinity Studies @ Feminist research Methods Conference (Event: Stockholm), Deadline: 01.10.08
The Centre for Gender Studies at Stockholm University welcomes feminist researchers to an international conference on research methods and methodological issues and dilemmas, 4.-6.02.2009.
Most feminist researchers have long since agreed that there are no specifically feminist research methods. The expression “feminist methods” is therefore used as shorthand for methods used by feminists in all fields of research. This international conference is devoted to the exchange of experiences and innovations in the doing of feminist research, specifically the methods and research tools we use.
The conference is open to researchers in all disciplines, inter-disciplines and directions of research.
Pleanary speakers: Cynthia Cockburn, Nira Yuval-Davis, Gelya Frank.
Call for papers is now open
Deadline: October 1st, 2008
