Sexuate Subjects: POLITICS, POETICS AND ETHICS

October 31, 2010 by Admin

Sexuate Subjects
POLITICS, POETICS AND ETHICS
UCL, London / Friday 3rd to Sunday 5th / December 2010

This international interdisciplinary conference seeks to generate new theories and practices of subjectivity – ‘sexuate subjects’ – through contemporary poetic and political research in the visual arts, humanities and social sciences. It explores how these positive ethical subjectivities for women and men are constructed through spatial, material and textual feminist poetics and politics. Over three days, it will examine how sexuate subjects (people/disciplines) aid interdisciplinary responses to contemporary global crises of community conflict, social and environmental wellbeing. Nine panels and invited keynote speakers examine the following themes: environmental and social crises;  sustainable ecologies; poetic communities, pedagogies, voices and bodies; the politics of bio-medicine, body-rights, family and well-being.

Principal Keynote:

Luce Irigaray, Doctor in Philosophy and Director of Research in Philosophy, the Centre National de la Recherche Scientific, Paris

 

Keynotes: Jananne Al-Ani (University of the Arts) Dr Caroline Bergvall (University of Southampton) Dr Carol Brown (University of Auckland) Dr Karen Burns (Monash University) Professor Lorraine Code (Toronto University) Professor Elizabeth Grosz (Rutgers University): video-conference presentation Professor Dorita Hannah (Massey University, Wellington) Dr Doina Petrescu (Atelier d’Architecture Autogérée and University of Sheffield)
