Rita Laura Segato_Femicide_The female body as a territory of war

by Brigitta Keintzel

Dear all, happy to share, and sorry for crossposting. Thank you for your attention, Brigitta Keintzel Date change! Rita Laura Segato: Femicide – The female body as a territory of war (16.6.2023, 16:45) Terminänderung: Der Vortrag wurde auf 16.6.2023 um 16:45 verschoben (vorher: 13.6.2023, 18:30)! Vortrag auf Englisch Abstract: In recent decades, marked by neoliberalism and increasingly authoritarian transformations in societies and government, global violence against women has also increased dramatically. A “global war on women” marks a political shift in patriarchal understanding of power. Women’s killings cannot be considered in private and sexual, but in political categories, with the aim of perpetuating the claims to power of male alliances. Rita Laura Segato is an Argentinian-Brazilian academic who has been called ‘one of Latin America's most celebrated feminist anthropologists’ and ‘one of the most lucid feminist thinkers of this era’. She is known especially for her research on gender in Indigenous villages and Latin American communities, violence against women and the relationships between gender, racism and colonialism. One of her specialist areas is the study of gender violence. Recent publications include: La crítica de la colonialidad en ocho ensayos. Prometeo Libros. 2016; La guerra contra las mujeres. Tinta Limón - Traficantes de sueños. 2017; Mujeres intelectuales: feminismos y liberación en América Latina y el Caribe. Consejo Latinoamericano de Ciencias Sociales – CLACSO. 2017 (co-authored); Más allá del decenio de los pueblos afrodescendientes. Consejo Latinoamericano de Ciencias Sociales – CLACSO. 2017 (co-authored); Contrapedagogías de la crueldad. Prometeo Libros. 2018.

Gentle reminder: International Planning for Freedom 12-13 June 2023 - Links updated.

by Elisabeth Nemeth

Dear colleagues and friends, This is a gentle reminder of our conference "International Planning for Freedom. Otto Neurath's democratic planning theory in the context of the climate crisis". The program and abstracts can be downloaded via this link: https://isotype.univie.ac.at/2023/05/15/international-planning-for-freedom/ Please note that also the links to the two related events (June 14: "Utopianism, Rationality, and Thought Experiments...", June 15-16: "Metrics of Energy") have been updated (see below). Best Elisabeth Nemeth International Conference: International Planning for Freedom. Otto Neurath's democratic planning theory in the context of the climate crisis A cooperation between Institute Vienna Circle (University of Vienna), Vienna Circle Society (Vienna), Chamber of Labor (Vienna), FWF Project Isotype. Origin, development, legacy (P 31500), Wien Museum. Only a few years ago it was hardly imaginable that demands for planned economy measures would be raised and publicly discussed again. Now the time has come. Ulrike Herrmann's book "Das Ende des Kapitalismus. Warum Wachstum und Klimaschutz nicht vereinbar sind – und wie wir in Zukunft leben werden" (2022) is a bestseller. Her central thesis is discussed in numerous public media: The transition from growth-dependent capitalism to a social and ecological circular economy will only be possible through a "private planned economy". What she understands by this has striking similarities with the ideas of economic planning that Otto Neurath conceived even before the First World War and continued to develop until the end of his life in 1945. An important point of reference for Neurath was Josef Popper-Lynkeus. The latter justified the demand for overall social planning with a radically individualistic ethic. Seen from today, this combination is surprising and inspiring - not least because Popper-Lynkeus and Neurath were among the first to introduce ecological viewpoints into economics. A highlight of the conference will be the screening of the film "Land of Promise" (UK 1946). The film was conceived by Neurath as a "film argument" and directed by Paul Rotha. It argues for combating the housing shortage in post-war England with extensively planned housing programme. The arguments put forward in the film bear a remarkable resemblance to the arguments Ulrike Herrmann puts forward today for a "private planned economy" as a transition to a circular economy.

CfP: Creative Bodies—Creative Minds conference, University of Graz, 25-26 March 2024

by Flora Löffelmann

Call for Papers Creative Bodies—Creative Minds The third international, interdisciplinary conference in gender research 25-26 March 2024, University of Graz, Austria Organized by: Sociology of Gender section, Department of Sociology, University of Graz, Austria; FH JOANNEUM– University of Applied Sciences Graz; Centre for Southeast European Studies, University of Graz. Theoretical discussions on creativity in the last two decades have addressed existing dichotomies in its conceptualization, such as professional/everyday and public/private. Cultural studies have then been critical of creativity being approached in terms of the individual talent and elite (“creative class”), in economic terms (“creative industries”) or in terms of exclusive locations (“creative city”)[1]. Gender scholars, in the meantime, have levelled criticism at the gendered definition of creativity, too often conceived as a property of a lone male genius, and at the gender bias of research on creativity that had tended to overlook activities in which women typically engaged [2]. Currently, in the European cultural/political space we witness a rise in the use of diverse artistic, creative, and playful tactics and practices in protests and everyday activism which challenge structural inequalities intersecting gender, class, race, ethnicity, sexuality, age and (dis)ability. Such examples of creative expression, including arts, crafts, participatory practices, and/or aesthetic interventions in public space [3], and in feminist and queer politics, in particular (e.g. “craftivism” [4], “artivism”[5]) challenge the common understanding of what constitutes political, as well as creative activities. Likewise, studies on socially engaged art in Southeastern Europe that have conceptualized “creative work […] as a labor of care and compassion” [6] make us think beyond the ideas of creativity in terms of individual self-expression. The third Creative Bodies—Creative Minds Conference 2024 will explore the gendered and political aspects of current, historical or everyday creative practices. DIY-making, as a form of everyday creativity, carries a different meaning in different political regimes (such as in the former Eastern Bloc, liberal market democracies, or post-colonial context). Covid-19 pandemic and lockdowns exemplify how everyday creative practice is/was an adaptive response to external circumstances. We witnessed how digital media enabled sharing of creative responses to the constraints, including the use of humor (“from zines to memes”) to cope with the situation, express care and solidarity, and maintain relationships. We are interested in exploring creative adaptations to external circumstances across different political, economic and gender regimes. Keynote speakers: Věra Sokolová, Department of History, Charles University, Prague Milica Tomić, Institute for Contemporary Art, Graz University of Technology The areas of interest for the CBCM 2024 conference include, but are not limited to: * creativity and intersectional activism; * arts, crafts, play as activist and political tools; * reparative cultural and political practices; * creative living as an adaptation to different biopolitical regulations; * (everyday) creativity across different political, economic and gender regimes; * creative labor (precarity, rethinking work/productivity, collective organizing); * creative, playful, fun and politicized use of space and time (e.g. festivals, parks and clubs); * intersectional activism and digital media; * humor, playfulness and fun in feminist and LGBTQ+ activism; * creativity as care for others, collective and solidary creativity; * DIY, maker movement: from knitting, through home-making to open source; * material, processual and relational aspects of creative practices; * the place of creative methodologies and creative research in teaching and scholarly research in social sciences and humanities. We are inviting proposals for presentations from scholars, practitioners and postgraduate students from a wide range of disciplines including, but not limited to: sociology, cultural studies, anthropology, human geography, political science, gender studies, art, performance, history, literary studies, social studies of science and technology and environmental studies.
