Representing Sexual Humanitarianism (International Workshop - Marseille)

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

As you might already know, on 23 and 24 September Nicola Mai and I
are organising a 2-day workshop as a result of our research project
'Embodied Borders: Problematizing Sexual Humanitarianism through
Experimental Filmmaking'. Please do circulate the info about the
workshop through your networks. Attendance is free.

Representing Sexual Humanitarianism (International Workshop)
MuCEM - Marseille
23 and 24 September 2015
The programme is now available here:
https://sexualhumanitarianism.wordpress.com/

Since January 2014 the Embodied Borders research project, based at
the Mediterranean Laboratory of Sociology (LAMES) of Aix-Marseille
Université, has looked critically at humanitarian interventions and
policies addressing victims of sex trafficking and gender/sexual
minority asylum seekers in the UK and France. The project examines
the workings of 'sexual humanitarianism', a concept used to
understand and represent the humanitarian governance of undesirable
migrants that are framed as vulnerable according to their gender,
sexual orientation and/or behaviours.
What is at stake when sexuality/gender are rendered an apparatus of
rights-claims in the context of migration control?
How do sexuality and gender-related moral panics function when
migrant populations are specifically targeted?
How do the neoliberal imperatives of guaranteeing freedom and making
the State secure co-exist in processes of filtering populations at
the borders?
Which artistic, political, policymaking, documentary, and fictional
representations naturalise and operationalise sexual humanitarianism?
Throughout the two-day workshop at the MuCEM (Marseille) we will
engage with artists, filmmakers, scholars, and activists whose work
is focused on sexuality, gender and migration issues.

Calogero and Nicola
