Cortland College of the State University of New York
Cortland, N.Y.
October 29-31, 2000
CALL FOR PAPERS:
World Wide Women: Transnationalism and Traveling Feminisms
Increasingly transnationalism has forced us to question and redefine the
role of the nation in determining issues of identity. This changing
geopolitical landscape prompts a reexamination of postcolonial, diasporic,
migrant, exile, and ethnic minority women’s discourse. How might the
practices of transnational representation and the realms of the political
and the state implicate each other, and what new constructions of
femininity, sexuality, cultural identity, and representational practice
emerge as a result? How does the shifting geopolitical landscape complicate
identity politics and bring into crisis the issues of classification and
comparison? Finally, as globalization alters our notions of time and space,
how are we forced to reconceptualize community, borders, and belonging?
Papers addressing these issues in relation to modernism and modernity are
particularly welcome.
Please send abstracts (1-2 pages) or papers (10 pages) to the address(es)
below. Please include e-mail and mailing address with your submissions.
