Zeit: 19.-22. November 2007
Ort: Salzburg, Austria
Deadline: 17. August 2007
This research and publications project Persons and Sexuality seeks to explore issues of sex and sexuality within the context of persons and interpersonal relationships and across a range of critical, contextual and cultural perspectives. Seeking to encourage innovative, creative, inter, multi and post disciplinary dialogues, we warmly welcome papers from all disciplines, professions and vocations which struggle to understand what it is to be a person and what it means for persons to stand in individual, group and social relationships of sex and sexuality, love and intimacy, desire and friendship.
Among the themes which the project will seek to explore are;
1. Political Geographies of Identity
2. Bodies and Desire, Lust and Sex
3. Love, Sex, Friendship and Bonds of Care
4. Detachment and Sex
5. Uncomfortable Territories
6. Narrative, Aesthetic and Creative Representations
7. Identity Politics: Recognition, Citizenship and Rights
These are indicative themes; as the project develops, further areas of research will be added for exploration and examination.
Papers will be considered on any related theme. 300 word abstracts should be submitted by Friday 17th August 2007. If an abstract is accepted for the conference, a full draft paper should be developed and submitted by Friday 9th November 2007. The draft paper should be of no more than 8 or 9 pages long and ready for a 20 minute (maximum) presentation during the conference.
If you are interested in participating, please send 300 word abstracts (simultaneously) to both Organising Chairs; they may be in Word, WordPerfect, or RTF formats, in the following order: author(s), affiliation, email address, title of abstract, body of abstract. We acknowledge receipt and answer to all paper or panel proposals submitted. If you do not receive a reply from us in a week you should assume we did not receive your proposal; it might be lost in cyberspace! We suggest, then, to look for an alternative electronic route or resend.
