Di seguito trovate presentazione e programma della due giorni internazionale States of Feminism/Matters of State: Gender and the Politics of Exclusion, organizzata da Sara Farris, Avigail Moss, Kerstin Stakemeier e Rebecka Thor alla Jan van Eyck Academie di Maastricth.
"This two-day conference on contemporary feminism will investigate how feminist thought has developed in relation to the rise of populist politics in Europe, and correspondingly how it relates to questions of nationalism and identity. In the recent resurgence of nationalistic and xenophobic ideologies across Europe policy makers and the media have increasingly instrumentalised discourses about female emancipation. Paraphrasing Gayatri Spivak’s effective metaphor, contemporary nationalism and xenophobia increasingly take the form of a wide-spread discourse in which “white men claim to be saving brown women from brown men.” Why is the ideal, albeit misleading, approach of female emancipation increasingly used by contemporary nationalism? What kinds of feminism do such nationalistic agendas employ? How can we articulate a feminist perspective that resists such misuses In addition to addressing these issues from sociological and philosophical perspectives, States of feminism/matters of state will also consider how aesthetic practices incorporate feminist strategies, and how art can be used as a means of conducting feminist politics. How is this (state of being?) depicted in narratives questioning authorship, polyphonic time, geopolitical space? The conference will include artists working with queer subjectivities in order to be able to discuss the term from multiple positions. As artists and critics, Sara Farris, Avigail Moss, Kerstin Stakemeier and Rebecka Thor ask how feminist thinking pertaining to questions of statehood operates today in politics, art and theory, and how these fields intersect and diverge".

Appena rientro. Con calma ... Avevo sperato di poter passare da Parigi sulla strada del ritorno, ma impossibile. Mi fermo piuttosto a Bruxelles per la mostra sull'orientalismo in pittura. Penso potrebbe interessarti, riesci a fare un salto? Pensaci e fammi sapere nel caso ...
mi associo alla richiesta!
