CALL FOR PAPERS

Gendered Perspectives on International Development (GPID) publishes
scholarly work on global social, political, and economic change and its
gendered effects in the Global South. GPID cross-cuts disciplines,
bringing together research, critical analyses, and proposals for change.

Gendered Perspectives on International Development recognizes diverse
processes of international development and globalization, and new
directions in scholarship on gender relations. The goals of GPID are: (1)
to promote research that contributes to gendered analysis of social
change; (2) to highlight the effects of international development policy
and globalization on gender roles and gender relations; and (3) to
encourage new approaches to international development policy and
programming.

Gendered Perspectives on International Development Working Papers are
article-length manuscripts by scholars from a broad range of disciplines.
They disseminate materials that are at a late stage of formulation and
that contribute new understandings of women and men’s roles and gender
relations amidst economic, social, and political change.
Individual papers in the series address a range of topics including
gender, violence, and human rights; gender and agriculture; reproductive
health and healthcare; gender and social movements; masculinities and
development; and the gendered division of labor. We particularly encourage
manuscripts that bridge the gap between research, policy, and practice.
Published GPID and WID Working Papers (1981-2008) papers can be viewed at:
http://www.wid.msu.edu/resources/publications.htm
If you are interested in submitting a manuscript to the Working Papers
series, please send a 150 word abstract summarizing the paper’s
essential points and findings to Dr. Anne Ferguson, Editor, or Anna
Jefferson, Managing Editor, at papers@msu.edu. If the abstract suggests
your paper is suitable for the Working Papers, the full paper will be
invited for peer review and publication consideration.

CFP - Forging the Nation: Ritual and Performance, LSE, 2011

The 21st Annual ASEN Conference - Forging the Nation: Rituals and
Performances in the (Re)production of Nations
The 21st Annual ASEN Conference - Forging the Nation: Rituals and
Performances in the (Re)production of Nations
April 5-7, 2011, London School of Economics

The Association for the Study of Ethnicity and Nationalism (ASEN) is
holding its 21st Annual Conference, entitled "Forging the Nation", from
the 5th â€" 7th of April 2011 at the London School of Economics and
Political Science.

The fundamental purpose of this conference is to address the role of
performances and rituals in the production and reproduction of national
identity. This is an important issue for the study of nations and
nationalism, however, it remains under-theorised. It is therefore the
intention of the conference to gain a deeper understanding of this issue
by moving beyond written texts.

CFP - SAE: Politics and Performance, Barcelona, 2011

CFP - "Politics and Performance."

CES 18th International Conference of Europeanists
June 20-22, 2011, Barcelona, Spain

SAE Panel Prosposal "Politics and Performance"
Call for Papers Jokes, satire, irony and literary tropes have long been
part of political speeches, cartoons, campaign slogans, and rhetoric. Yet
in the context of radical, nationalist, and xenophobic movements across
Europe, in addition to neoliberalization and widespread economic hardship,
the stakes of such "light" or seemingly playful political discourse have
become more highly charged, even urgent, and this genre of political
performance lies both within and beyond the electoral trail.

This panel investigates how political discourse is staged and consumed in
public arenas by diversely positioned European citizens. How do satire and
allusions, whose meanings are only legible and recognizable to some
groups, help consolidate political goals and collective identities? How do
they transgress local cultures and national borders and become a political
language understood transnationally? Who is excluded by these
simultaneously overt and covert political performances? Alternatively, how
do social actors align themselves politically in otherwise "non-political"
verbal arts, such as music, poetry, television, film, or theater? Why does
politics, a traditionally serious engagement, become an arena for laughter
and literary or artistic experimentation? What is the meaning of various
performative acts and how do they reshape neoliberal values, public spaces
and ethical codes? How do they constitute authority and power? How does
politics as a performative art form recreate European political landscape
and European citizenship?

Potential topics include:
-Political speeches and campaigns as a performative art -Verbal arts and
political discourse -The circulation of symbols and art in social
movements -Representations of the body in politics -Humor and politics
-Entertainment industry and politics -Ethics, politics, and performance
-Europeanization and political performance -Nation, the state, and
citizenship in performative arts -Intellectual activism, performance, and
politics -Late socialist, post-socialist, and neoliberal political
aesthetics

Please send paper proposals to Neringa KlumbytÄ— (klumbyn@muohio.edu) and
Noelle Molé (nmole@Princeton.EDU by October 1st. For more information
