The Gender
Question
A MIC and UL
Sibeal Postgraduate Symposium
Call for Papers
DATE:
Wednesday May 15th 2013
5-7pm
VENUE:
G08
Mary Immaculate College
Limerick
When Judith Butler tried
to undo gender, she questioned whether the traditional categories of
gender were still important today, or if they were restrictive. Do we
still need the category of woman? Or should we remove gender as a
category entirely? What does gender mean? And how is it represented,
differentiated, exploited or maintained?
We invite papers of 15
minutes duration from all disciplines on the topic of gender, it's
construction, deconstruction, function and requirements for
what promises to be a multivalent
symposium. Topics include, but are not limited to:
Gender
Sexuality
Queer/Intersexual/Transexual/Feminist
Theory
Construction of gender identity
Gender in literature, film, tv,
theatre, art, music and culture
The other/The second sex
Corporeality
Submission requirements:
Abstracts of no more than 250 words
should be submitted along with a short bio to
thegenderquestion@ymail.com before April 17th
