Conference of the International Federation for Research in Women\u2019s History<\/strong><\/p>\n

Time: 8-12 August 2007
\nVenue: Sofia, Bulgaria<\/p>\n

Cultural history deals with various \u2018artefacts\u2019 produced by human activity throughout history: with both practices and representations, with written and visual texts. It is interested in both written and oral (but also visual) aspects of culture (understood in anthropological sense: cultural artefact as locus of meaning).<\/p>\n

We welcome interdisciplinary contributions (coming from fields as diverse as history and literary studies, cultural studies, art history, media studies, anthropology, history of philosophy, historiography) dealing with historical aspects of production, signification and reception of culture \u2013 all from a gender perspective. We aim to bring together scholars at different stages of their careers from all over the world.<\/p>\n

\n

\u2022 We are interested in cultural production that deals with individual and collective authorship, with modes of publication (i.e. with the ways that bring cultural artefacts before the public), and with the historical context of production;
\n\u2022 Cultural signification is important for the production and reception of artefacts. It pays attention to the social conventions within which the artefacts are produced (literary language, styles of painting, writing, film genre, etc.);
\n\u2022 Cultural reception\/consumption that studies how the artefact was received\/read\/understood by contemporaries and the meanings it provoked later under new historical circumstances;
\nWe are interested in studies that pay attention on the role gender, class, ethnicity, race, age played in the process of cultural production, transmission and consumption of knowledge, studies that consider:
\n\u2022 oral and written culture, both in traditional and modern societies;
\n\u2022 restricted and mass literacy;
\n\u2022 the role of literate culture in societies with predominantly oral culture;
\n\u2022 the role of oral culture in modern societies of mass literacy\/high literacy rate;
\n\u2022 the modes of reading and writing and their role throughout space and time, in various places and historical periods;
\n\u2022 the role of traditional and modern media in the cultural production of knowledge;
\nWe are interested:
\n\u25cf in how cultural memory operates and in the related question about the gender of that memory, and social and cultural production of women and gender in history;
\n\u25cf in the role religion\/church, education and state play in the process of cultural production and consumption.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
