This year’s theme is „Women narrating their lives and action“. The intellectual impulse for the fifth feminist course in the seminar on Feminisms in transnational perspective comes from Hannah Arendt’s statement that “lives without words and action are dead for the world”. Extensive scholarship has established links between gender and genre in women’s (auto)biographical discourses, while feminist theorizing has offered political and activist perspectives on the wider socio-cultural frame of positing, producing, communicating, and manipulating women’s selfrepresentations. The exploration of autobiographical ethics and „first-person plural subjectivities“ involved in national identity formation in turbulent times and politically charged contexts has been particularly fruitful. Now we may ask, how do the contexts and communitarian vocabularies of selfhood intervene in pervasive  eoliberal structures of power/knowledge and capitalist reification in the transnational negotiation of feminisms?

Jointly with departments of the Central European University (CEU), CRC organizes one-week course design sessions in Budapest for university teachers during which they can access human and material resources of the CEU, work in the library, consult with colleagues, purchase books, and participate in round-table discussions/workshops on course development issues.

This CRC workshop will be structured around the extensive Visual History Archive of the USC Shoah Foundation, which contains interviews with 52,000 people: ww.library.ceu.hu/databases/shoah.html. 

The CEU Library has recently been given access to this remarkable resource, and the CRC workshop will explore ways in which this database can be useful in designing university courses. Participants will be able to consult with CEU faculty in Jewish Studies and Gender Studies. During the session they will also have the opportunity to use the Visual History Archive. University teachers of history, sociology, anthropology and gender studies are encouraged to apply. 
NOTE: Applicants are requested to submit an 800-word statement of intention on how they are planning to use the Visual History Archive in their teaching.
