CfPanalists: Women and Religion/Spirituality

I have some research based on ethnographic work with a contemporary American women’s progressive religious reading group focusing on how „heretical“ texts like The Gnostic Gospels and the Da Vinci Code are useful to women navigating patriarchal religious institutions. Continue reading →

Biologische Metaphern sind fester Bestandteil der tradierten Beschreibung künstlerischer Arbeit. Ein Kunstwerk kann ‚lebendig’ sein, es kann ‚organischen’ Gestaltungsprinzipien folgen oder gar als ‚Schöpfung’ bewundert werden. Die Beschreibung kreativer Prozesse durch den Vergleich mit Vorgängen der Natur ist seit der frühen Neuzeit kunsttheoretischer Topos und bis heute Bestandteil künstlerischer Praxis. Als komplexes Verweissystem strukturiert es sowohl die Produktion und Rezeption von Kunst als auch die Selbstentwürfe von Künstlerinnen und Künstlern.

Angesichts der offensichtlichen Bedeutung der Kategorie Geschlecht Continue reading →

This call for papers is for a transdisciplinary anthology about gender and biology written by international researchers, aimed at a public audience. Empirical research in biology, psychology, and other life sciences sometimes undergirds popular notions of female and male sexual difference, while much of current biology actually opens a space for variable and non-static views of sex and gender; instead of emphasizing dichotomous difference, the natural sciences may look into sameness and the continuum of morphologies, behaviors and processes in between. Our aim is to make these insights public knowledge.

We would like to highlight different areas of biology and related disciplines that question popularly held ideas of biology. There exist many popular conceptions about biology, sex, gender, and bodies that stem from supposedly common-sense notions of gender, human evolution, biological processes animals in general, and even life at the microbial level.

CFP: SSHA panels on Working Class Women

Dear Colleagues, I am writing on behalf of the labor network of the SSHA. This years conference theme is: Power and Politics. We invite you to consider submitting panel (or single paper proposals) for the conference. We are seeking work, in particular, that addresses the theme through working class women — their everyday acts of resistance (as paid laborers or unpaid workers) that break, confound, or entangle them in their own subjection. We also are interested in finding out how women’s historians have used working class women’s history to reniform the problem of the increasingly tested usability of feminist wave terminologies.
