Violence Revisited: Security, War and Peace Narrated
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
>From May 17 until May 20, 2012 the 8th European Feminist Research Conference will take place in Budapest, Hungary. The conference is organized by the Central European University’s Department of Gender Studies, and ATGENDER, the European Association for Gender Research, Education and Documentation.
The overall conference theme is “The Politics of Location Revisited: Gender@2012”.
One strand for presenting papers is “Violence Revisited: Security, War and Peace Narrated”. For this strand we seek papers that address questions connected to different issues of wars, terrorism, extremism, security questions as well as peace studies. How are these issues narrated in the scholar literature? What are important historiographical narratives in the ways that the history of violence has and is being told? What are the gendered implications intrastate conflicts and political violence? What are the ways of renegotiating of gender relations in times of military conflict, collaboration, resistance and agency? Likewise, we are interested in empirical studies of different kinds that deal with the subject around the key words of conflict studies, genocide, trauma, violence, resistance. What are the transnational (global) networks and possibilities of pacifism? How does all this influence the politics, methods and ethics of feminist research? We are especially interested in “gendered” experiences shaped by particular practices and discourses of masculinity in conflict situations.
The strand is coordinated by Andrea Petö (petoa@ceu.hu
