Call for Proposals
  
 
  
Rutgers (State University of New Jersey) Women’s and Gender Studies Department and Belgrade Women’s Studies and Gender Research Center, Belgrade University are pleased to announce the 8th 
annual postgraduate course in Feminist Critical Analysis: Race, Discourse, Biopolitics. The course will be held at the Inter-University Centre, Dubrovnik (www.hr/iuc/) on May 21st - 25th, 2007.  The course 
will be co-directed by Dasa Duhacek of the Belgrade Women´s Studies, Belgrade Universirty and Ethel Brooks of the Women’s and Gender Studies Department, Rutgers University.
  
 
   
  
TOPIC:
  
 
  
How is race produced?  This seminar will explore the discursive, material and biopolitical formations that go into the production of race as a concept, identity and practice.  We will examine the production 
of race by, first, problematizing its naturalness and its definitive link to particular bodies, geographies or identities, and, second, by focusing on its production and reproduction through the practices and 
discourses of governmentality, on the one hand, and biopolitical mappings, on the other.  What engagements has critical feminist scholarship had with the question of race?  In what ways do such 
engagements need to be pushed further?
   
  We will engage sites of race, racialization, racism and the  production of  raced bodies in their specific intersections of gender, class, sex,  sexuality,  citizenship and religion.  What is the  relationship 
  of race not only to discourse and biopolitics, but to family  formations, borderlands, diasporas, communities, cityspaces and  local-global  formations?  
   
  The seminar will focus on race, racializations and racial  formations from a  feminist perspective.  We will  interrogate comparative practices and notions of race, discourse and  biopolitics to understand 
  how race and racialization are constantly produced  through the practices of gender, sexuality, class, locality, history  and  transnationality. 
  
 
  
The course is built upon the assumption that intellectual dialogue among a diverse body of scholars from different geographical locations will result in a better understanding of the ways in which our particular 
locations are influencing our own theoretical and political choices.  The course usually attracts about 25-30 students from different European countries.  The participating faculty are drawn from several different 
European and US universities.  Daily seminars take place in two 3-4 hours sessions a day.  All meetings are conducted in English.
  
 
  
 
  
ELIGIBILITY
