Scadenza: Transnational Queer HistoriesStudi di Genere, Scienze umane, Scienze sociali Transnational Queer Histories is intended to platform and support scholarship from academics at all levels of their careers, and to give voice to researchers and topics that have until now been unrepresented or underrepresented in academic publishing circles. As such, it is our intention to open the doorways for innovative, new research, highlighting non-traditional approaches and subject matter. TQH's title is its programme; we seek work that is transnational and/or comparative in scope, not (strictly) limited to one geographic locality; queer in the broadest sense, encompassing not just homo- and cis-normative experiences but also a variety of gender and sexual identities, including (but not limited to) bisexuality, pansexuality, asexuality, transgender and intersex lives; and historical, with work drawing principally from modern and early-modern history, in whichever way the contributor defines these. In this way, we seek to encourage the creation of a body of new scholarship that moves away from the confines of (generally) white, male, homonormative, cisgender queer history that has tended to characterise the subdiscipline. While these narratives remain important to queer history, we encourage innovative approaches to them through new and hitherto-underutilised avenues of inquiry. Thus, we seek to foreground the broad and vibrant diversity of queer experiences throughout history. TQH accepts proposals for both monographs and edited collections; work may be submitted in English or German. As noted, we seek work from scholars at all career levels. If you are unsure whether the work you have in mind would be a good fit under the TQH banner, please do not hesitate to contact us with an informal inquiry. We will do our best to advise you whether we would welcome a more formal proposal from you, as above. Contact Series Editors: We very much look forward to receiving your proposal, and we are excited to read and platform new and innovative work in queer history. If you have any queries or a proposal to submit, please contact us here: Dr. Sabrina Mittermeier (she/her) sabrina.mittermeier@uni-kassel.de

Scadenza: 03 ottobre 2024 VO Take Over. Intersektionale InterventionenStudi di Genere, Scienze umane, Scienze sociali Die initiale Prägung von Nachwuchswissenschaftler:innen erfolgt maßgeblich in den Einführungsvorlesungen der ersten Semester. Trotz der zunehmenden Diversität der Studierenden mangelt es weiterhin an Vielfalt in der Professorenschaft. Marginalisierte Gruppen sind besonders von der „gläsernen Decke“ und dem Drop-Out-Risiko im Akademischen betroffen. Das Projekt „VO Take Over. Intersektionale Interventionen“ (Teresa Kamencek, Carola Korhummel, Seda Pesen, Institut für Kunstgeschichte, Universität Wien) zielt darauf ab, strukturelles Umdenken anzuregen, indem sechs Professor:innen jeweils einen Vorlesungstermin an junge Expert:innen mit kanonkritischen & intersektionalen Perspektiven übergeben. VO Take Over. Intersektionale Interventionen Die initiale und nachhaltige Prägung von Nachwuchswissenschaftler:innen geschieht vor allem in den Einführungsvorlesungen der ersten Semester. Neben tendenziell traditionellen Inhalten dieser Lehrveranstaltungen übernehmen die zuständigen Professor:innen die Rolle von Vorbildern. Dabei mangelt es immer noch an Diversität in der Professor:innenriege und somit an greifbaren Vorbildern für eine zunehmend diversifizierte Studierendenschaft. Die in universitären Gleichstellungsberichten thematisierte „gläserne Decke“ und der Drop-Out des wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchses betrifft marginalisierte Personen umso mehr. Nach einer erfolgreichen ersten Ausschreibung im Wintersemester 2023/24 setzt das Projekt „VO Take Over. Intersektionale Interventionen“ (organisiert von Teresa Kamencek, Carola Korhummel, Seda Pesen, Institut für Kunstgeschichte, Universität Wien) daher dort an, wo strukturelle Veränderung möglich ist und stattfinden muss: Sechs Professorinnen und Lehrende der Historisch-Kulturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Universität Wien treten auf freiwilliger Basis jeweils einen Termin ihrer einführenden Vorlesungsreihe an junge Expert:innen ab, um kanonkritische und intersektionale Perspektiven auf die jeweiligen Geschichtsschreibungen zu eröffnen. Begrüßt werden dabei ausdrücklich Stimmen von jungen Wissenschaftler:innen aus Wien und Umgebung (Doktorand:innen und Postdocs), die FLINTA*, queer, BiPoC, von Klassismus betroffen sind oder eine Behinderung haben. Themenvorschläge können umfassen: Geschlechterdiskurse und Diskriminierung aufgrund von Geschlecht in der Antike „Untere“ Gesellschaftsschichten und ihre Lebenswelten Antike Sklaverei Recht und Gesellschaft in der Antike Frauen und Macht in der Antike Fremdsein und Integration in antiken Gesellschaften Antiker Kolonialismus und Kontakte zum lokalen Umfeld Intersektionale Perspektiven auf die europäische Gesellschaftsgeschichte im Hinblick auf class, race, gender in politischen Umbruchszeiten (nach dem 1.

Scadenza: 07 ottobre 2024 New Perspectives on Walking Women in Anglophone Literatures and CulturesStudi di Genere, Scienze umane New Perspectives on Walking Women in Anglophone Literatures and Cultures An International Conference, 28 and 29 March 2025 Warburg-Haus, Hamburg, Germany Confirmed Keynote Speaker: Dr Kerri Andrews New Perspectives on Walking Women in Anglophone Literatures and Cultures Although women have always walked and written about their manifold experiences as pedestrians, they were largely neglected in the historiography of walking of the twentieth century. As Deirdre Heddon and Cathy Turner noted in 2012, it had been common practice in cultural and literary histories of walking to present women “as an ‘exception’ to an unstated norm, represented by a single chapter in a book or even a footnote” (225). Following the publication of Lauren Elkin’s Flâneuse: Women Walk the Streets of Paris, New York, Tokyo, Venice and London (2016), research on walking women has expanded and diversified significantly in recent years. Kerri Andrews’s Wanderers: A History of Women Walking (2020) and Way Makers: An Anthology of Women’s Writing about Walking (2023) and Annabel Abbs’s Windswept: Why Women Walk (2022), for example, focus exclusively on the writings and representations of women walkers. Critics have begun to develop new approaches to reading, documenting, and theorising women’s pedestrian mobilities, employing practice-based approaches (e.g. Heddon and Myers 2020) and taking into account archival material (e.g. Bredar 2022) and perspectives from material ecocriticism (e.g. Hamilton 2018). Rather than examining representations of women’s walking according to masculine paradigms like Romantic wandering, flânerie, or psychogeography, critics now increasingly examine woman walkers on their own terms. This conference brings together scholars from the humanities and social sciences (e.g. from literary studies, cultural studies, film, TV and theatre studies, art, history, sociology, anthropology, geography etc.) who are working on roles and representations of walking women in Anglophone literatures and cultures from the early modern period to the immediate present. The aim of the conference is to assess current trends in scholarship on walking women, to identify its blind spots, and to develop new perspectives on women walkers by deliberately looking at forms, contexts, media, and periods that have received less or no attention so far. Potential topics for 20-minute papers could include but are not limited to: - New theoretical and methodological approaches to women’s walking between 1500 and the present - Walking women in neglected literary forms and genres, e.g. drama, poetry, non-fiction, autofiction, and the periodical press - Women walkers in art history, film & TV, photography, social media, and podcasts - Representations of woman walkers in works by less canonised authors, directors, and artists and in newly acquired archival material - New readings of women walkers in canonical literature - Beyond the white Western norm: representations of woman walkers of colour; women’s walking in the Anglophone Global South and (post)colonial contexts - Beyond the able norm: women walkers with disabilities; health, illness and walking - Beyond the heterosexual norm: queer women walkers - Women’s walking in settings and areas beyond the established urban/rural binary - Women’s walking in the contexts of migration and war - Women’s collective pedestrian practices, e.g. women’s marches and walking clubs - Women’s walking and political activism - Women’s walking in the Anthropocene; women walkers and environmentalism - Material culture and consumerism: walking clothes and gear - Walking mothers; walking with children - Women’s walking and gendered violence - Pedestrian mobilities related to walking, e.g. running and mountaineering - Women’s walking as work or part of work; economic dimensions of women’s walking The conference conceives of women as anyone who identifies as female, regardless of their sex assigned at birth. Contributions on non-binary and genderqueer walkers are welcome as well. Selected papers from the conference will be published in a special issue of a journal. The conference will take place on 28 and 29 March 2025 in the stunning historic reading room of Hamburg’s Warburg Haus. Thanks to generous funding from the Daimler and Benz Foundation, travel bursaries are available for confirmed speakers and there will be no conference fee. Please send an abstract of no more than 300 words and a brief bio (max. 100 words) to Sandra Dinter, the conference organiser, by 7 October 2024: sandra.dinter@uni-hamburg.de. Applicants will receive notification of acceptance in late October 2024.

Scadenza: 13 ottobre 2024 Sex Work From Feminist and Queer PerspectivesStudi di Genere, Scienze sociali, Scienze umane The journal Gender a výzkum / Gender and Research announces a call for papers for the special issue "Sex Work From Feminist and Queer Perspectives". Issue editors are Barbora Doležalová (FSV UK), anna řičář libánská (FF UK) and Isotta Rossoni (Leiden University). This issue aims to critically engage with the complexities of sex work through diverse perspectives, examining the intersections of gender; sexuality; class; disability; ethnicity; economical, cultural, and social capital; exploitation and agency within contemporary societies around the world. Sex work has been a subject of growing scholarly interest, but it remains a highly contested and under-researched area. This aspect is particularly relevant to Central and Eastern Europe, where publications examining sex work under state socialism have only recently begun to appear (Dobeš 2022; Dolinsek, Saryusz-Wolska 2023; Dušková 2023), but only some attempt a feminist interpretation (Havelková, Bellak-Hančilová 2014; Dudová 2015; Dobrowolska 2020). Analysis of post-1989 developments in CEE is notably absent and that is why we would like to dedicate this special issue also to texts dealing with the transformation of political regimes and contemporary history. Sex work has long been the subject of feminist debates, particulary in the United States, while in Central Europe, it has so far been the merit of criminological, medical or legal texts that centralize its socially pathological potential (Novotný, Zapletal 2001; Sochůrek 2001; Chmelík 2003; Kraus, Hroncová 2010). Since the 1990s, i.e. since the fall of state socialism and the abolition of the law on social parasitism, which sanctioned sex work, there has been a constant wait for newer legislation that would positively define sex work in the Czech and Slovak legal systems, but would also give it a working status. Here, however, feminist ideologies diverge – they do not recognize sex work as work. It is not because of anti-social effects of sex work, as framed, for example, in criminological literature (Novotný, Zapletal 2001), but on the contrary because of the violence perpetrated against sex workers, especially women in vulnerable positions. Proposals for legislation then also differ according to these feminist ideologies (Beran 2012; Havelková, Bellak-Hančilová 2014), as could be observed during the debates in the European Parliament on the report on the regulation of prostitution presented by Maria Noichl in 2023. The discourse on sex work and sex workers themselves have been affected by issues such as the Covid-19 pandemic, the platformization of labour, migration, gentrification, but also, for example, by the Paris Olympics, where preparations for the event included attempts of 'social cleansing' (Finkelstein 2024) involving ostracization of homeless people as well as sex workers. However, entities such as legislation, state borders, police and prisons can also be identified as long-standing and systematic factors on the sex work environment – these apparatuses are subversively explored, particularly in abolitionist texts (i.e. Vitale 2018; Cooke 2020; Weeks 2011), but have also received attention within radical and carceral feminism (Dworkin 1981; Lauri et al. 2023). This special issue aims to create a space for articles that explore the stereotypes around sex work and challenge the its sociopathological aspect while being critical of white feminism and the saviour complex. The intention of this issue is also to make visible the voices of sex workers, which are completely absent in the Central and Eastern European debate on sex work. We would like to invite researchers or non-profit organizations to prioritize research methods that are participatory, such as participatory action research (PAR), in-depth interviews, (auto)ethnography, photovoice, etc. We also welcome reviews, reports, and commentaries. We want to discuss together, for example, but not be strictly limited to, the following themes: Sex work, conceptualization, and feminist imaginaries Sex work and queerness Sex work in Central and Eastern Europe Sex work, body work, and labour of love Sex work and race Sex work and ageing Sex work and technologies Sex work and abolition of prisons, police, and borders Sex work, post-work, and anti-work Sex work, migration, and colonialism Sex work, tourism, and gentrification Sex work, advocacy, law, and activism Sex work and unionism Media and cultural representations of sex work(ers) Doing research on sex work, positionality, and ethics The target length for an article is 6,000—10,000 words, including footnotes and a reference list. Reviews should not exceed 3,000 words and reports and commentaries 1,500 words. Deadline for abstract submission: October 13, 2024. Abstract should be maximum 500 words excluding references, title and keywords.

Scadenza: 15 ottobre 2024 Sexualités et identifications minoritaires : ce que les jeunes font à l’ordre du genreStudi di Genere, Scienze umane, Scienze sociali Appel à propositions d’articles pour la revue Agora débats/jeunesses L’enjeu de ce numéro est de contribuer au dynamisme des recherches récentes sur les sexualités et les identifications minoritaires (voir notamment Chantraine et Ricordeau, 2018 ; Rault et Trachman, 2023), en posant la question des liens entre l’ordre du genre et cette ouverture générationnelle des modèles et des possibles. Il convient, pour cela, de replacer cette ouverture dans un « espace social du genre » (Beaubatie, 2019) qui témoigne à la fois des régularités de l’ordre du genre et de ses mutations et mises en question. Comment dès lors y inscrire les pratiques et identifications minoritaires ? Ces dernières troublent-elles réellement l’ordre du genre ? Se déploient-elles en marge d’un ordre dominant, ou sont-elles susceptibles d’en bouleverser le coeur, voire d’en redessiner les contours ? Tou∙tes les jeunes, selon leur âge, leur appartenance de classe, leurs caractéristiques familiales, leurs religions et leurs assignations de genre ou de race, peuventils ou elles, sans distinction, troubler l’ordre du genre ? Comment celui-ci, en retour, se rappelle à celles et ceux qui en subvertissent les normes et les attentes ? Ce numéro spécial vise à réunir des articles qui posent de telles questions à partir de données empiriques clairement identifiées, qu’elles soient quantitatives et/ou qualitatives (données statistiques, observations,entretiens, archives, etc.), dans des espaces et des configurations sociales et institutionnelles variés. Les propositions que l’on examinera pourront s’inscrire dans des disciplines de sciences humaines et sociale variées (sociologie, démographie, histoire, anthropologie, sciences de l’éducation, géographie, etc.). Elles pourront porter sur la France comme sur d’autres pays, tant les questions posées ne se limitent pas au cas français. Elles pourront, plus spécifiquement, suivre un ou plusieurs des trois axes analytiques suivants. Pratiques et identifications minoritaires : de quoi et de qui parle-t-on ? Cultures juvéniles et expériences minoritaires Rapport aux institutions, violences et discriminations Les propositions d'article, attendues pour le 15 octobre 2024, doivent être envoyées aux coordinateur·ices : tania.lejbowicz@ined.fr ; aurelia.mardon@univlille.fr ; nicolas.sallee@umontreal.ca ; les articles finaux devront être remis le 10 janvier 2025.

Scadenza: 15 ottobre 2024 La mise en affaire des violences sexistes et sexuellesStudi di Genere, Scienze sociali Cet appel à articles pour le numéro 25 de la revue Politiques de communication explore le rôle des médias dans la médiatisation des « affaires de violences sexistes et sexuelles » prévues pour le printemps 2025. Il examine comment le format de l’affaire influence la médiatisation de ces violences, tout en analysant comment la « forme affaire » configure les cadres médiatiques. Les affaires de violences sexistes, comparables aux scandales de santé publique, offrent un prisme pour étudier la construction des problèmes publics par les médias. Le dossier vise à répondre à la question de comment la « forme affaire » et les cas de violences sexuelles médiatisées interagissent. Du fait divers à l’affaire : processus de sélection et de publicisation des violences fondées sur le genre par les médias Cadrages médiatiques des « affaires de violences sexistes et sexuelles » L’affaire de tous·tes : Circulation et réception des « affaires de violences sexistes et sexuelles » Modalité de soumission Les articles, qui ne doivent pas dépasser 60 000 signes, devront être envoyés à revuepolitiquesdecommunication@gmail.com et en copie à charlotte.buisson@yahoo.com sabrina.moro@otago.ac.nz sedel@unistra.fr au plus tard le 15 octobre 2024 Information pratique Pour plus d’informations sur les consignes aux auteurs pour les propositions d’articles, voir : https://revuepol2com.hypotheses.org/consignes-aux-auteurs/proposer-un-article Évaluation Tous les articles (dossiers et hors-dossiers) font l’objet d’évaluations scientifiques rigoureuses.

Scadenza: 31 ottobre 2024 Digital Humanities and Data Science from the SouthDiversity Studies, MINT, Scienze sociali Matraga Journal invites submissions for the next issues. Matraga, published by the Graduate Program in Letters at UERJ, is a senior publication, aiming at promoting a critical review on issues in the fields of Literature and Linguistics studies. Original papers and book reviews in Portuguese, English, Spanish or French are welcome. Papers are submitted to double-blind peer review and must strictly follow Matraga Journal guidelines for paper submission. Theme This dossier explores diverse theoretical and methodological approaches in Digital Humanities, integrating computational methods and large volumes of data for sociocultural analysis. It promotes interdisciplinary dialogue that spans various fields of knowledge, from language studies to science and technology studies. Characterized by its interdisciplinarity, transnationality, and multilingualism, the dossier delves into Digital Humanities from and for the Global South, addressing Data Feminism, intersectional and anti-racist digital studies. These studies challenge the supposed neutrality and universality of the subject in Digital Humanities and Data Science, highlighting how dominant epistemologies and technologies are perpetuated. Additionally, it promotes research that, through methodologies aware of power inequalities, reflects on inclusion and exclusion related to race, gender, language, colonialism, and geolocation, aiming to redesign the digital platforms and algorithms’ practices and structures. This dossier seeks contributions that explore the impact of artificial intelligence in various social spheres, particularly from and towards the Global South, focusing on both the development and critical evaluation of existing technologies. It primarily seeks to foster an ethical and critical view of artificial intelligence. To encourage a culturally enriched critical debate, the call for submissions covers a variety of disciplines that explore the intersection of technology, society, and culture from critical and transformative perspectives. Highlighted topics include digital discourse analysis and technodiscursive analysis, which propose a composite conception of discourse that erases any boundary between the discursive and the technical dimensions, as well as the linguistic and the extralinguistic. Proposals for works that study the ethical impact of artificial intelligence on sustainable development, and bias and equity in AI algorithms, questioning who benefits or is harmed by automated decisions, are also welcomed. An important theme for this dossier is the decolonization of artificial intelligence, proposing methodologies that question dominant technological narratives and practices. Works that critically evaluate AI projects to determine their strengths and limitations will also be considered. Additionally, contributions on decolonial feminist digital archives that reconsider the preservation of history and culture from feminist and anticolonial perspectives are invited. Submissions that explore intersectionality and digital media analyzing how multiple matrices of oppression affect online experiences and how digital platforms can foster autonomy and expression, are encouraged. Furthermore, the dossier seeks to integrate digital and gender studies with critical approaches to virtual teaching and learning, and proposals on feminist digital pedagogies. Submissions that investigate the influence of gender norms in computing through the study of programming languages and gender, and gender-based violence in digital spaces to address online security challenges, are also invited. Finally, the dossier will include works on digital history and art from feminist, decolonial, and anti-racist perspectives, highlighting how digital culture can be a space of resistance and critical reimagining.

Scadenza: 31 ottobre 2024 The Sexual Politics of Liberal Internationalism, 1990s to the PresentStudi di Genere, Scienze sociali, Scienze umane Celia Donert, Cambridge; Stefan-Ludwig Hoffmann, Berkeley; Michal Kopeček, Prague, CB2 1TN Cambridge (United Kingdom) 08.05.2024 - 09.05.2025 Liberal internationalism, with its emphasis on individual rights and freedoms, civil society, democracy and good governance, open markets and the rule of law, has been criticised for the complex sexual politics which underpin these universalist principles. This workshop aims to start a conversation between historians and scholars from other disciplines about the sexual politics of liberal internationalism since the 1990s in a longer historical perspective. The Sexual Politics of Liberal Internationalism, 1990s to the Present That the ‘universal subject’ of political liberalism is implicitly gendered male is a feminist argument as old as liberalism itself; feminist scholars of international law have made similar arguments about liberal concepts of human rights or humanitarian law. Feminist theorists of twentieth-century international relations have suggested that sexual and international orders of masculinism and militarism are mutually constitutive, whether in the boardrooms of foreign policy establishments, on military bases, or in other local sites of intervention in the name of liberal internationalism. Postcolonial, gender and queer theorists continue to challenge the western, masculine and heteronormative bias of the latest iteration of liberal internationalism, which since the Cold War places greater emphasis on the universal rights of women and minorities, while limiting their application by resurrecting discourses of cultural relativism, humanitarian suffering and moral value. This workshop aims to start a conversation about the sexual politics of liberal internationalism after 1989 in Central Europe and beyond. Our focus on Central Europe is driven by a desire to explore the rise and fall of liberal internationalism in the late twentieth century outside the Anglo-American world. Central Europe became a laboratory for experiments in international economic or political order during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, from the collapse of multinational empires, the rise and fall of democratic, fascist and state-socialist regimes, until the political and economic transformation that followed the 1989 revolutions. The conjunction between liberal internationalism and neoliberalism adds another dimension to the question of sexual politics in post-Cold War Central Europe, opening up space for comparisons with other parts of the world. We invite proposals that explore the sexual politics of liberal internationalism since the 1990s in international, transnational or global perspective, as well as papers that place the post-1989 moment in a longer historical trajectory. We are interested in the ideas and institutions that inform liberal internationalism, as well as the practices, performance and reception of liberal internationalism by elites, experts, practitioners, or ordinary people. Topics for discussion might include, but are not limited to: the politics of abortion regulation; sexual violence in conflict and non-conflict situations; trafficking, slavery, prostitution; immigration and asylum; military intervention and peace-making; and the gendered effects of international programmes of economic reform, democratization and good governance. We expect to be able to cover participants’ travel and accommodation costs. Please send an abstract of 100 words and a brief CV to Celia Donert (chd31@cam.ac.uk) by 31 October 2024. This workshop is generously funded by the Cambridge DAAD Hub for German Studies and the KFG / Center for Advanced Studies in the Humanities and Social Sciences ‘Universalism and Particularism in European Contemporary History’ at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich.

Scadenza: 31 ottobre 2024 Violenza di genere: Radici strutturali e risposte trasformativeStudi di Genere, Scienze umane, Scienze sociali La letteratura scientifica e la Convenzione di Istanbul evidenziano che la violenza di genere (Gender based violence, GBV) è un fenomeno strutturale diffuso con radici profonde in una cultura condivisa. Pertanto, poiché la GBV è il portato di una cultura di genere radicata e stereotipata, la consideriamo un problema socio-culturale e strutturale (Manuh & Biney, 2021; Muluneh et al., 2020), piuttosto che il semplice risultato di un comportamento soggettivo associato a un "disturbo personale o individuale" (Magaraggia, Cherubini 2013). I contributi provenienti da tutte le discipline che studiano la GBV sono benvenuti e possono riguardare, ma non solo, i seguenti argomenti: Riflessione teorica su mascolinità, stereotipi maschili e violenza di genere. Esperienze intersezionali di violenza digitale e online; analisi femminista postdigitale della misoginia e delle sue manifestazioni dannose online. La violenza di genere nella sfera della politica e il suo rapporto con la mascolinità. Il legame tra patriarcato e violenza e la domanda se la violenza sia un'espressione del patriarcato o la sua crisi. Disparità geografiche: Sono disponibili ricerche limitate sulle intersezioni tra GBV in regioni specifiche, in particolare nell'Africa subsahariana, nell'Asia meridionale e nell'Africa occidentale, dove gli studi si concentrano spesso su forme specifiche di violenza come la mutilazione genitale femminile o il matrimonio infantile. Sono necessarie ulteriori ricerche per comprendere le variazioni regionali e le influenze culturali sulla GBV. Problemi di raccolta dati e approcci metodologici: La violenza sessuale su larga scala è poco dichiarata, il che comporta difficoltà nell'ottenere dati accurati per la ricerca e la politica. Le discrepanze tra le segnalazioni formali e informali nei Paesi in via di sviluppo suggeriscono che i dati di prevalenza esistenti possono sottostimare notevolmente i casi reali. Sono stati proposti approcci innovativi come l'apprendimento automatico per prevedere l'occorrenza di GBV, ma la loro applicazione è ancora in fase iniziale e richiede un ulteriore perfezionamento per l'uso pratico delle politiche. Popolazioni specifiche: Popolazioni specifiche, come le persone transgender, sono soggette ad alti tassi di GBV, ma le loro esperienze rimangono poco esplorate nella maggior parte delle ricerche, che di solito si concentrano sulle donne cisgender. Efficacia dell'intervento: efficacia a lungo termine degli interventi contro la GBV. Ambienti di conflitto: Nonostante la maggiore consapevolezza, la ricerca sulla GBV nelle regioni colpite da conflitti è scarsa. La comprensione delle sfide specifiche del contesto rimane fondamentale per formulare interventi efficaci. Rappresentazioni: Razza, classe, genere e sessualità nelle rappresentazioni di GBV Analisi delle campagne di contrasto alla violenza contro le persone Rappresentazione delle violenze di genere in diversi discorsi mediatici, come la narrativa letteraria, i romanzi grafici, i film, le serie web, la televisione, i social media, la cultura popolare, la musica, le pubblicità, ecc. Manosfere: Le dinamiche della manosfera e l'ascesa dei gruppi di "uomini arrabbiati". I partiti politici populisti di destra e i loro discorsi/retoriche sulla violenza contro le persone, il genere e la sessualità; il loro ruolo nella promozione di politiche anti-genere. Legami tra GBV e varie ideologie estremiste, compresa la diffusione di contenuti estremisti violenti. Risposte femministe e LGBT+ che contrastano i discorsi anti-femministi e anti-uguaglianza dei partiti populisti di destra Analisi storica dei cambiamenti e delle evoluzioni nella ricerca, nel diritto, nelle politiche e/o negli atteggiamenti della società nei confronti della violenza contro le persone. Analisi degli approcci per "risolvere" la violenza di genere, politicamente o meno.

Scadenza: 31 ottobre 2024 Aesthetic interventions to gender-based violence and sexual violenceStudi di Genere, Scienze umane European Journal of Women's Studies Guest Editors: Júlia Garraio and Hülya Adak Aesthetic interventions - including art, literature and film - have the potential to challenge, renegotiate and reconceptualise understandings of gender-based violence, sexual harassment and sexual violence. This Special Issue seeks to address the critical potential of aesthetics to (re)create the interconnections between gender, violence and sexuality, and to incite feminist activism and transformation (Altınay and Petö, 2022). The question of who speaks and under which conditions, what is said and how, and who listens, hears and actively engages remains as crucial as ever. The Special Issue will focus on how artists, playwrights, writers, poets and filmmakers have engaged with gender-based violence, sexual harassment and sexual violence. It will also examine how audiences, activists and the public at large appropriate, interact with and respond to the aesthetics of works and narratives that deal with these forms of violence. The articles of the Special Issue can address one or more of the following questions: What are the ethical implications of aesthetically representing gender-based violence, sexual harassment and sexual violence? How is ethics relevant to reading and responding to aesthetic narratives and depictions of gender-based violence, sexual harassment and sexual violence? How can aesthetic representations of gender-based violence, sexual harassment and sexual violence be pivotal in instigating social change? How do works of art, film and literature operate together with emotions and shared imaginaries to generate interest about the topic? In what ways can the arts potentially render legal and academic language and tools accessible and legible to survivors, activists and the broader public? How can artistic productions be used to foster debate about the meaning of justice for survivors and their communities? How can the arts, literature, fiction and film be appropriated by different audiences and activists with their variegated agendas? How do artists, playwrights, writers, poets and filmmakers navigate the legacies of colonialism and imperialism? How do such artists resist and address entrenched inequalities and historical trauma? What are the strategies of resistance to pervasive nationalist and/or colonial legacies of othering that artists, playwrights, writers, poets and filmmakers have employed in their work on gender-based violence, sexual harassment and sexual violence? How have artists, playwrights, writers, poets and filmmakers memorialized gender-based violence and sexual violence and pursued ethics of remembrance committed to the victims and the survivors of violence of the past? How have artists, playwrights, writers, poets and filmmakers addressed gender-based violence, sexual harassment and sexual violence in processes of migration and racialized/ethnicity-based persecutions? How have the arts interacted with #metoo and other contemporary (online) feminist campaigns against gender-based violence, sexual harassment and sexual violence? To what extent has autobiographical storytelling changed the terms of the debate? How have the arts problematized the entanglements between violence and specific norms and notions of sexuality? How have the arts contributed to generating more complex debates about gender-based violence, sexual harassment and sexual violence and the intersections of gender with race, ethnicity, class, LGBTQI+ identities, disabilities and notions of religious and national belonging? How do artistic ecofeminist interventions about the destruction of the environment and violence against animals contribute to rethinking the entanglements between gender, sexuality and violence? All articles will be subject to the Journal's customary review process. Articles should be prepared according to the guidelines for submission on the inside back cover of the print journal or at https://journals.sagepub.com/home/ejw Articles should be submitted online to http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ejw by 31 October 2024.

Scadenza: 31 ottobre 2024 FRI Conference 2025 «Social justice and crises»Studi di Genere, Economia e Giurisprudenza, Scienze umane, Scienze sociali FRI Conference 6. – 7. February 2025 in Neuchâtel The overall topic of our FRI Conference 2025 in Neuchâtel is social justice and crises and how to achieve and overcome them. We are interested in queer-feminist theoretical thoughts on how law and other disciplines can and could contribute to these goals. Gender equality and non-discrimination are fundamental human rights principles. Although progress has been made, recent years have also witnessed global solid and local push- backs. With increasingly complex conflicts and global humanitarian and environmental crises, heterosexist violence, as well as poverty and injustice towards women and queer people, continue to increase. The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few reinforces existing (gender-specific) inequalities. While class politics often disregards other structures of inequality, such as gender and sexuality, so-called identity politics is accused of not taking capital and class relations into account. However, differences are overemphasized instead of foregrounding connection points for emancipatory queer-feminist and anti-capitalist politics. The conference is divided into four blocks, each featuring a keynote presentation, followed by a panel of presentations (CALL) and a discussion around the keynote topic. Keynote by Prof. Dr. Ulrika Dahl (Professor of Gender Studies, Centre for Gender Research, Uppsala University) In this first panel, “The future is queer-feminist,” we would like to invite you to develop prospective reflections on an emancipatory future and a strengthening of the feminist and queer struggle. In doing so, we want to explore whether law and justice can be relevant tools to achieve such a goal. Keynote by Prof. Dr. Bruno Perreau (Cynthia L. Reed Professor of French Studies, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)/ Faculty Associate, Center for European Studies, Harvard University) In the second panel, we are interested in minority theories that analyze who is excluded and what we can do against it, with inter- and intersectional perspectives. Can the law be an emancipatory tool? Does the law, as a social construction, take minorities into account? Or are they not instead forced either to assimilate or to be marginalized? Keynote by Dr. Friederike Beier (Postdoc Gender and Diversity, Otto Suhr Institute of Political Science, Freie Universität Berlin) The third panel deals with materialist queer feminism as a theoretical and political perspective but also as a tool. Shouldn't materialist queer-feminist thinking be at the center of any emancipatory thinking? How can a society be deconstructed that was conceived and constructed by and for a hetero-centered and - in Europe, especially Switzerland - white majority? Keynote by Dr. Lisa Grans (Postdoctoral Researcher Institute for Human Rights Åbo Akademi University, Turku, Finland) The fourth panel is dedicated to social and climatic crises and their impact on gender inequalities regarding livelihoods, health and security. How can queer-feminist thinking be developed and unfolded in a global and internationalist perspective? The FRI cordially invites you to submit a contribution (approx. 500 words) for a presentation on one of the 4 blocks and a short description. Please send everything to the email fri.conference@genderlaw.ch by October 31, 2024. The conference languages will be German, French and English, you can choose between the languages. If you have any questions, please don’t hastate to contact us by e-mail.

Scadenza: 15 novembre 2024 Gender Analysis of Legal and Judicial PracticiesStudi di Genere, Economia e Giurisprudenza, Scienze umane, Scienze sociali Call for papers (AAC) for the international conference HLJPGenre ANR, from 1 to 3 April 2025 at the Faculty of Douai (Université d'Artois) For various reasons, the boundaries between legal studies, history, sociology of law and political science have long remained watertight, in France more than elsewhere, closing off interdisciplinary dialogue and thus blocking the acculturation of law to gender studies. Gender is understood here as a concept that allows us to name and think about the social differentiation of individuals according to binary, hierarchical gender categories. This social differentiation produces inequality and discrimination between individuals. However, law, whether in its formal dimension - legal texts - or in its practices, like all social phenomena, is permeated by gender. It ratifies, produces or neutralises gender. While some pioneering work has begun to analyse legal practices from a gender perspective, the 2000s marked a turning point in the emergence of this field of research in the social history of law. Ten years later, the REGINE project paved the way for gender studies in law, focusing in particular on the question of judicial practices. In 2022, the ANR HLJPGenre project will follow the same approach in the history of law. Gender studies research is therefore relatively recent in these different disciplines and still suffers from a historiographical gap on the question of the gendered treatment of litigants in the courts and, more broadly, in the legal system as a whole. The aim of this call for papers is therefore to bring together and promote research on the "gendered analysis of legal and judicial practices" in an international and interdisciplinary symposium to be held in Douai from 1 to 3 April. While gender studies is the main theme, the colloquium will take an intersectional perspective: the study of social relations between the sexes will be articulated or interwoven with the effects of their intertwining with, or competition with, other relations of power such as race, class, age or those induced by the validist order. This event follows on from the first colloquium of the ANR HLJPGenre entitled "Discours juridiques, genre et histoire" (Legal discourses, gender and history), which focused on legal texts as normative statements in order to identify the gendered dimension of dominant representations. In parallel, and integrating the contributions of the realist theory of law, which distinguishes between "book law" and "law in action", the aim is to examine the relationships between gender and law as expressed in and around the judicial arena. Contributions may cover the entire judicial chain, from the initiation of proceedings to the enforcement of judgments. Different types of disputes can be examined, whether they are gendered from the outset, such as sexual violence or the consequences of divorce, or whether they appear, at least superficially, to be 'neutral': theft, political crimes and offences, prison disputes relating to the enforcement of sentences.... The biases of gender, race, class... or the intersectionality of these power relations can be analysed in the practices of judicial actors, in the political and social orders given to them, or in the agentivity of litigants (i.e. their strategies in the face of gender biases). Papers on those who may be excluded from the judicial institution are also welcome, as is work on the gendered consequences of judicial decisions. The chronological scope of the call includes a diachronic perspective and the study of different periods (Antiquity, Ancien Régime, 19th century, contemporary). Our call for papers serves several purposes, including that of collecting and discussing contributions from colleagues whose research focuses on the gender of legal decisions and the treatment of litigants, through different disciplinary approaches (legal history, law, sociology, political science, etc.), investigative methods (archives, ethnography, interviews, etc.) and research fields. Contributions are invited from the fields of law - legal history, positive law, philosophy/theory of law, sociology of law, etc. -and the humanities and social sciences in general - history, political science, philosophy, sociology, linguistics, psychology, ethnology, anthropology, literature (non-exhaustive list). In addition, special interest will be given to papers that propose methodological and epistemological discussions in order to capture research on gender and the intersectionality of legal and judicial practices. The work of young researchers will be particularly valued. Paper proposals (between 1,500 and 3,000 characters) should be sent to the members of the organising committee by 15 November 2024: Prune Decoux (prune.decoux@univ-artois.fr); Hélène Duffuler-Vialle (helene.duffuler@univ-artois.fr) and Aymeric Mongy (aymericmongy@gmail.com) with a copy to the general ANR HLJPGenre address: hljpgenre@univ-artois.fr

Scadenza: 30 novembre 2024 Frauen in der spaetmittelalterlichen Stadt an Mittel- und OberrheinStudi di Genere, Scienze umane Soziale, oekonomische und rechtliche Perspektiven - Bingen am Rhein 08.04.2026 - 10.04.2026 Die geplante Tagung befasst sich mit den sozialen, ökonomischen und rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen von Frauen in spätmittelalterlichen Städten mit einem räumlichen Fokus auf der Mittel- und Oberrheinregion. „Frau in der Stadt“ erweckt als Titel Erinnerungen an deutschsprachige Studien, die in den 1980er-Jahren erschienen. Genannt seien hier nur die Veröffentlichungen von Erika Uitz und Edith Ennen oder die Quellensammlung von Peter Ketsch und Anette Kuhn. Oft verbanden diese Werke, denen man zahlreiche weitere zur Seite stellen könnte, Frauenforschung mit einer sozial- oder alltagsgeschichtlichen Fragestellung. Es ging um Lebensformen und Alltagswelten. Seitdem wich nicht nur die Historische Frauenforschung weitgehend der Geschlechterforschung. Methodisch ging auch die Geschichtswissenschaft zahlreiche neue Wege – zur Lokalisierung wurden Geoinformationssysteme genutzt, die Netzwerkanalyse half beim neuen Erschließen von Personenbeziehungen, die Kulturgeschichte fragte nach symbolischen Elementen und trieb den material turn voran, universalgeschichtliche Ansätze wurden entwickelt, diskursgeschichtliche Zugänge auch für die Vormoderne ausgetestet – um nur einige der dominierenden Zugänge in der Geschichtswissenschaft der letzten Jahrzehnte zu nennen. Die weiter blühende stadthistorische Forschung nahm immer auch Frauen in der Stadt mit in den Blick. Doch erfuhren die weltlichen Frauen weit weniger Beachtung als die geistlichen, die Bürgerinnen weniger als die Adeligen, verheiratete Frauen weniger als Witwen. Selbst wenn Frauen in der Stadt angesprochen wurden, wie bei der Tagung, die 2019 im Mainzer Landesmuseum stattfand und nach Rollenvorbildern von jüdischen und christlichen Frauen im Hochmittelalter fragte, blickte man vor allem auf Beginen und Nonnen. Der Komplex „Frau und Stadt“ blieb eher auf Arbeiten lokalen Zuschnitts beschränkt. Mit einem regionalen Schwerpunkt auf den Städten am Mittel- und Oberrhein im weiteren Sinn – von Basel bis Köln, von Frankfurt bis Trier – will die Tagung „Frauen in der spätmittelalterlichen Stadt an Mittel- und Oberrhein. Soziale, ökonomische und rechtliche Perspektiven“ weltliche Frauen wieder in den Vordergrund rücken und an die grundlegende Forschung der 1980er-Jahre anknüpfen. Dabei sollen Ehefrauen, unverheiratete Frauen und Witwen, Patrizierinnen, Handwerkerinnen oder Bettlerinnen gleichermaßen in den Blick genommen werden. Aspekte der Analyse könnten sein: Die Berufstätigkeit von Frauen Die Wohnsituation von Frauen Die Rechtsfähigkeit von Frauen und ihre Präsenz bei Gericht Die Sichtbarkeit von Frauen in der Stadt Die Benennungen von Frauen Beiträge könnten sich mit den oben genannten Aspekten beschäftigen, sind aber keineswegs darauf beschränkt. Für die Tagung sind Themenvorschläge aus der Geschichtswissenschaft ebenso willkommen wie aus benachbarten Wissenschaften (Kunstgeschichte, Literaturwissenschaft, Germanistik, Musikwissenschaft usw.) sowie interdisziplinäre Zugänge. Die Tagung wird im Historischen Museum am Strom – Hildegard von Bingen in Bingen stattfinden. Reise- und Übernachtungskosten im üblichen Rahmen können übernommen werden. Bitte senden Sie bei Interesse ein Vortragsabstract von einer halben bis einer DIN A4-Seite bis zum 30. November 2024 an PD Dr. Regina Schäfer (rschaef@uni-mainz.de).

Scadenza: 01 febbraio 2025 Methodological Frontiers for Intersectional TheorizingStudi di Genere, Scienze umane, Scienze sociali, MINT Methodological Frontiers for Intersectional Theorizing: Advancing Qualitative Approaches for Research in Labour and Organizations in the Special Issue of the Journal "Qualitative Research in Organizations and Management" This Special Issue is interested in showcasing the innovative possibilities offered by feminist and intersectional research practices, with the aim of providing labour and organizational scholars with novel and useful epistemological and methodological approaches to help make sense of, theorize, and confront workplace inequalities. Following Kimberlé Crenshaw’s (1989) academic introduction of the concept of intersectionality in socio-legal research, much attention has been placed across disciplines in the social sciences on the interplay between multiple social identities and structural inequalities. Intersectional approaches have reshaped the examination of individual, social, material, and structural influences, effectively emphasizing agency while also acknowledging social structures (Phoenix, 2006; Prins, 2006). Despite recognition of the usefulness of qualitative approaches and methods to advance intersectionality scholarship (see Bowleg, 2008; Rodriguez, 2018; Trahan, 2011), more methodological understanding is needed in relation to how multiple social identities are implicated in unequal positioning within systems of domination, and how to capture these relationships. In this respect, there is much scope to advance methodological knowledge of the operational and epistemological intricacies that helps researchers empirically access and make sense of intersectional dynamics, and how individuals navigate the resulting positions of privilege and disadvantage in their situatedness and shifting nature (Misra et al., 2021; Rodriguez, 2018). In this Special Issue, we delve into two interconnected considerations. First, the understanding of the epistemological and methodological purposes of intersectionality in terms of what it offers us, and second, how to translate that understanding into our own concrete methodological praxis as researchers. Christoffersen and Emejulu (2023) suggest that the interpretation of what intersectionality signifies is intricately linked to its application, aligning with Collins (2019), who argues that methodological practices are “vehicles” for intersectional theorizing (p. 142). There remains ample room for exploration into the intricate connections between epistemology and methodology, specifically focusing on the diverse ways in which various research practices yield distinct forms of knowledge, and the ontological and epistemological consequences related to intersectionally-sensitive methodological choices (Colombo & Rebughini, 2022; Davis & Lutz, 2022; McCall, 2005; Rodriguez, 2018). This Special Issue is interested in addressing this gap, encouraging innovative methodological perspectives to enliven and embody intersectional theories and practice (see Collins, 2019; Davis, 2014; Rebughini, 2021). As calls continue to engage with the ontological imagination of intersectionality to achieve socially just and diverse futures (Rice et al., 2019; Watson-Singleton et al., 2023), we seek to leverage curiosity, novelty, and usefulness to explore new and creative qualitative methodological avenues in intersectional research to help us deliver on its transformational potential. We welcome submissions focused on intersectional approaches that unite the imaginative exploration of methodology to theory and contribute to advancing the methodological interrogation of intersectionality both as a way to analyse the (re)production of labour and workplace inequalities, as well as a way to interrogate those who produce knowledge about it (see Carstensen-Egwuom, 2014; Rodriguez & Ridgway, 2023). List of Topic Areas How does the relationship between intersectional theorising, epistemology, and researchers' methodological choices shape research on labour and workplace inequalities? What innovative methods can be employed for collecting and analysing intersectional data? What innovative methods can be employed for collecting and analysing data intersectionally? How could an intersectional approach enable the situated exploration of researcher and participant agency? How might researchers navigate ethical considerations when using intersectionally-sensitive methodologies? What does an intersectional ethics of care in qualitative research look like? How does intersectional reflexivity contribute to researcher accountability? How can researchers methodologically tackle the co-optation and whitewashing of intersectionality? How can intersectionality be adopted in posthuman methodological approaches to investigate how technologies, infrastructures, and material environments influence and intersect with situated and multiple social identities and experiences of oppression? How can intersectional research practices investigate the interconnections between human and nonhuman entities, including technology, environment, and various materialities? How can researchers capitalise on developments in big data technology and AI to advance intersectional methodologies? Submissions Information Submissions are made using ScholarOne Manuscripts.

Scadenza: 31 luglio 2025 Travail, emploi et organisations à l’ère du numériqueStudi di Genere, Scienze sociali, Scienze umane Colloque interdisciplinaire, du 20 au 21 mars 2025, au CNAM Paris Avec la «révolution numérique» (Cardon, 2019) amorcée dans les années 2000, la recherche en sociologie du travail s’efforce de rendre compte des effets induits par l’usage croissant des dispositifs numériques et des nouvelles technologies sur les structures de l’emploi, les organisations du travail, les conditions de travail, ainsi que sur son articulation avec la vie privée. Du côté de l’emploi, l’essor des plateformes numériques a fait émerger de nombreuses «zones grises de l’emploi» (Bernard & Abdelnour, 2018; Bureau et al., 2019; Azaïs et al., 2017) venant brouiller les frontières entre salariat et travail indépendant (Supiot 2000; Dupuy & Larré, 1998). Le développement des outils numériques de gestion et de communication est également venu transformer les modalités de contrôle et d’encadrement des travailleur·ses; et bouleverser – avec la progression du télétravail notamment (Schütz, 2021; Le Gagneur, 2023) – les frontières spatiales et temporelles du travail (Benedetto-Meyer & Boboc, 2021), amenant les travailleur·ses à repenser leurs modalités d’articulation des temps sociaux (Pizarro Erazo, Viera Giraldo & Landour, 2023). Ces éléments ont des répercussions sur le travail en lui-même, qui peut être amené à changer de nature, mais également sur les conditions de travail et la santé des travailleur·ses, qui peuvent se trouver améliorées (notamment par l’automatisation de certaines tâches dites «pénibles») mais aussi détériorées par l’intensification du travail. Ce colloque vise ainsi à faire le point sur les formes et les effets des transformations du travail, de l’emploi et des organisations à l’ère numérique. Comment le travail et l’emploi se transforment-ils, face à l’arrivée de nouveaux outils et modes de communication? Ces évolutions représentent-elles des gains, ou au contraire des pertes de droit, pour celles et ceux qui travaillent? Dans quelles mesure les évolutions numériques du travail et de l’emploi servent-elles les organisations? Comment ces mutations de l’univers professionnel viennent- elles modifier les organisations familiales et domestiques? Si le statut d’emploi influe sur le travail et ses conditions, comment cette équation se renouvelle-t-elle (ou non) face à l’accroissement des usages numériques? Et comment peut-on lire les usages, vécus et représentations sur ces transformations au prisme des rapports sociaux? Ce colloque se veut offrir un lieu de mise en discussion des interpénétrations multiples entre travail, emploi et numérique à travers une grille de lecture intersectionnelle. Nous encourageons pour cela les contributeur·ices à analyser la diversité des effets produits par le numérique en fonction des rapports de domination de classe, de genre, de race, d’âge ou de handicap qui traversent les organisations de travail et dans lesquels les individus sont pris. Ce colloque ambitionne également de favoriser le croisement entre différents regards disciplinaires, qui constituent une approche fructueuse pour mettre à l’épreuve la façon dont les usages des technologies numériques agissent sur le travail et l’emploi (Greenan et al., 2010 ; Bobiller Chaumon et al., 2022). Aussi, les communications de toutes les disciplines (sociologie, économique, gestion, psychologie, droit, histoire) sont les bienvenues et pourront s’inscrire dans un ou plusieurs des axes suivants: Axe 1 : Le numérique comme outil de rationalisation du travail Axe 2 : Les dispositifs numériques comme instruments de mise au travail Axe 3 : Les effets des technologies sur l’articulation des temps sociaux Axe 4 : Les travailleur·ses du numérique Axe 5 : Flexibilisation de l’emploi à l’heure du numérique Axe 6 : Conditions de travail et santé à l’épreuve du numérique Modalités pratiques du colloque Les personnes intéressées pour intervenir sont invitées à déposer une proposition de communication, de 3 500 à 4 000 signes (hors bibliographie) qui présentera le titre, l’objet, la problématique, la méthode utilisée et le ou les axes dans lesquels elles s’insèrent.
