APRIL

1. "Music, Gender, and Globalization" conference

Organizers: Samuel Dwinell and Anaar Desai-Stephens
Location:
Cornell University, Ithaca

Conference Date(s):
April 1st, 2011 - April 1st, 2011
CFP Deadline:
January 7th, 2011

Conference URL:
http://www.musicgenderglobalization.org

Keynotes/Speakers:
--Olivia Bloechl (Department of Musicology, University of California, Los Angeles) --Tejaswini Niranjana (Centre for the Study of Culture and Society, Bangalore) --Tavia Nyong’o (Department of Performance Studies, New York University)

Theme:
What is the relationship between music, gender, and globalization? The recent “transnational turn” in both feminist and queer studies makes the case for thinking about gender and sexuality globally: of describing processes of globalization in ways that account for its fluxes, not only of capital, goods, and people, but also of categories of gender and sexuality.

Given the relative lack of attention to music and performance in studies of gender and globalization, we invite scholars in all disciplines (especially those that wish to bridge divisions between the humanities and social sciences via feminist and queer inquiry) to develop new insights into how music and musical practices intersect with gender/sexuality and globalization.

Suggested Topics:
Please see conference website for detailed, suggested areas of inquiry.

7. Northeast Modern Language Association

Organizers:
Location:
New Brunswick

Conference Date(s):
April 7th, 2011 - April 10th, 2011
CFP Deadline:
September 30th, 2010

Conference URL:
http://www.nemla.org/convention/2011/cfp.html#womensstudies

Keynotes/Speakers:

Theme:
As a genre, the short story cycle, or composite novel, has appealed for over 100 years to a wide range of American authors. The major characteristic of this genre is a collection of stories that are both interrelated and self-sufficient—what Madison Smartt Bell calls a “mosaic” quality that contributes to a holistic, yet fragmented “modular design.” While critical attention to this genre has focused mostly on matters of either form or content, scholars have not usually considered the form's effect on the text's content, particularly related to gender identity formation. The logical assumption might be that the short story cycle’s multiple perspectives, evolutions, and revolutions allow for a vivid illustration of gender performativity and fluidity, but is such an assumption accurate? Even though the terms are used interchangeably, can a genre or a gender be both cyclical and composite?

Suggested Topics:
Short story cycles of Sherman Alexie, Sherwood Anderson, Djuna Barnes, Raymond Carver, Louise Erdrich, William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, Amy Hempel, Henry James, Gloria Naylor, Sarah Orne Jewett, Tim O’Brien, Flannery O’Connor, Jean Toomer, and Eudora Welty, among others.
