2001. Poslijediplomski seminar Feminist Critical Analysis: Women in Contemporary Cultural Studies: Reading the Body

Poslijediplomski seminar Feminist Critical Analysis: Women in Contemporary Cultural Studies: Reading the Body održan je pri Interuniverzitetskom centru u Dubrovniku od 21.-26. svibnja 2001.

Seminar su organizirale Aida Bagić, Biljana Kašić i Željka Jelavić iz Centra za ženske studije, Zagreb, Jasmina Lukić, Centar za ženske studije, Beograda i Joanna Regulska, Odsjek za ženske i rodne studije, Rutgers University, New Jersey.

The course gathered together respected scholars and researchers who are concerned with the study and exploration of different aspects and insights of women’s mapping in cultural theories. The primary objective was to offer and examine new perceptions, awareness, and contradictions around the construction of femaleness, identity, and cultural patterns that shape women’s images, female myths and locations. The main focus was on theoretical analysis and creative dialogues around the paradigms of myth, body/nature, discourse, art/culture, history and identity(-ies). Themes and discussion topics for the course included: Body in Public Space, City, and Politics; Geographies of Body/Bodies—Body Boundaries; Body and Text Inscriptions; Sexed Bodies and Body, History, and Myth.

Course presentations:

  • Through the Looking Glass: Body, Politics and Space– Hande A. Birkalan (Yeditepe University-Istanbul)
  • Queer Tourism: Geographies of Globalization – Jasbir Puar (Rutgers University-New Jersey)
  • “The Happy Serbian Body”: Folk Queens, Wars and National “Mentality”– Žarana Papić (Centre for Women’s Studies-Belgrade)
  • Imaginary Subjects (Who is She who stood behind the Iron Curtain? Who is She who stands behind the “Ironic Veil”? Who is She who wants to know?) – Lucy Tatman (Central European University-Budapest)
  • History of the Body, Historic Bodies: Reading the Body in Con/text – Svetlana Slapšak (Institutum Studiorum Humanitatis-Ljubljana)
  • Feminist Theory and the Body in Contemporary Literature and Theatre – Jasmina Luki
  • (Central European University & Centre for Women’s Studies-Belgrade)
  • Women’s Corpuses, Corpses or (Cultural) Bodies?– Lada Čale Feldman (Centre for Women’s Studies-Zagreb & Institute for Ethnology)
  • Modes of Representation – Mechanisms of Repression – Ljiljana Kolešnik (Centre for Women’s Studies-Zagreb & Institute for Art History)

Excerpts from evaluations:

  • Diverse, fun, educational, intellectually stimulating
  • Very provocative, astonishing – I never thought about the suggested classification of women, although I immediately knew it was correct the moment I heard it, by correct I mean really existing in the Christian cosmos
  • Interesting combination of old symbolism inscribed into film as well as an increased interest in Balkanology vis-à-vis anthropology and classical studies
  • It made me aware of the feminine signature in literature, where the difference lies and how it can be recognized. The examples from literature were excellent…I wasn’t aware of reading texts through a feminist approach.
  • It was a very unexpected rereading of some old Croatian authors I learned about in school many years ago – I was pleasantly surprised to find the women’s angle in it
  • Very condensed, a lot of information, a lot of impressions, quite a rich experience – I am very satisfied being here and participating

The Brazilian philosopher calls for “the end to the world – as we know it” through the operations of “fractal thinking”, which is “immanent, scalar, plenteous, and undetermined” in revendicating material, cosmic, elemental ‘ancestral claims’. The seminar of “Feminisms in a Transnational Perspective” finds inspiration in da Silva’s experiments with imagining otherwise, focusing on the question of new experiences of thinking and praxis ‘at the root’; ‘radicality’ is the chosen term to mean the inventive investigation attending to the complex constellations of feminist existence, decolonizing its own origins and processes of development in order to move toward necessary instances of female social and global justice. The theme calls for a radical theoretical and practical reorientation that aims at undoing and dissolving the notions of ‘separability’, ‘determinacy’ and ‘sequentiality’ that have been and are still active and operative in the colonial and racist constitution of the modern and contemporary world, to favour the ethical force of ‘deep implicancy’ among human and non-human living creatures. It is an attempt at re/de/composing the roots of our common and collective life, to be able “to express, enact, and embody the plurality of otherwise possibilities that are both radically ‘out’ of this world and radically immanent and ‘here’”, while providing momentary resolutions at each instance according to an intention mediated by the given context. The radicalities of which we would like to discuss, elaborate and experience in our togetherness, might imply: the origin of transnational feminisms; the tracing of feminist genealogies different from the modernist enlightenment ones; the critique of universalism; the critical engagement in postcolonial and decolonial theories and praxes; the intergenerational dialogue; the reconfiguration of power in social struggle; the investigation of the techne of writing, literature and art; the radicalization of aesthetics; the repositioning of language otherwise; the discussion of what might open instance of justice for indigenous, migrant, LGBT, non-white populations; the emergence of praxis of survival, resistance, and invention; the experimentation with translation, transposition and transformation of entangled forces; the feminist ongoing practices of care. Eligibility: IUC courses are conducted at the postgraduate level. All interested postgraduate students (in MA or PhD programs) may apply to participate, although the course targets young scholars and postgraduate students with a defined interest in women’s/gender studies, transnational studies, philosophy, sociology, literary and cultural studies, postcolonialism, anthropology, or related discipline. The course will be limited to 15 students (25 participants in total) in order to provide sufficient space for discussion, seminar work and student presentations.
