Call for Papers:
Competing Diversities:
Traditional Sexualities and Modern
Western Sexual Identity Constructions
DEADLINE for
submission of abstracts: 15 February 2005
Mexico City, 1 – 5 June 2005
In
many cultures throughout the world, traditional sexualities and
alternative sexual identities are disappearing or transforming as a result
of the diffusion of modern western sexual identity constructions and the
emergence of global gay and lesbian subcultures modeled on North American
and European cultural models. It can be argued that a queer globalization
has taken place. The conference “Competing Diversities” seeks to examine issues related to
the interaction and confrontation between traditional sexualities and
western sexual identity constructions across a wide range of perspectives.
Papers are welcomed on virtually all related topics and themes,
independently of time, period and space, as well as interdisciplinary
perspectives. Also papers of comparative phenomena are welcome.
500 word abstracts should be
submitted to the organizing committee in English, Spanish, German or
French as e-mail attachment by 15th of February 2005. The
conference languages will be English and Spanish.
Papers
should be of approximately 30 minutes duration (circa 8 - 10 pages).
Other forms of presentation, for instance workshops, panel debates and
poster sessions will be considered on request.
Graduate
and postgraduate students are encouraged to attend and present
papers. Selected papers from the conference will be published in book
form.
Abstracts
are to be submitted by the 15th of February 2005, along with
the presenter’s name, address, telephone, email, and institutional
affiliation. All correspondence for this conference will be conducted via
email.
