Our aim is to explore how health, disability, and the body are theorized, materialized, and politicized in forms of visual culture including photography, video art, graphic memoir, film, body art and performance, and digital media. Accordingly, we invite proposals for individual papers and roundtables that consider how contemporary visual culture makes bodies political in ways that matter for the future of democracy. Proposals may draw on fields such as: visual culture, critical theory, disability studies, health studies, science studies, autobiography studies, indigenous studies, feminisms, queer studies, and globalization/ transnationalism. Suggested Topics: POSSIBLE THEMATICS INCLUDE: technologies, cultural production, disability, and affect.
CFP Address: If electronic submission is not possible, please mail or fax proposals to arrive by January 15, 2010.
