***********************************************************
NOI♀SE 2008 Summer School: In Between Understanding and
Practicing Gender: Intersectionality and Interdisciplinarity.
18 August * 29 August, Utrecht, the Netherlands
Have you always wanted to know what cutting-edge feminist thinking is
about and how you yourself can learn how to practice it? Are you
dreaming of writing work *that matters*?
Do you want to develop your ideas about transnational feminism,
identities and power? Do you want to reflect upon the ways in which
identities are being negotiated in different settings?
Do you want to explore what interdisciplinarity is in terms of
knowledge production, feminist responsibility and academic practices?
Are you curious about doing Women's Studies in Europe?
These questions will be dealt with in the 15th edition of the Noise
Summer School!
In this first interdisciplinary cluster Intersecting Identities:
Transnationalism, Gender and Power, we will explore how transnational
and intersectional feminist theory can help us to make sense of
current developments with regard to identities, subjectivities,
gender, power and knowledge. *Identities* will be central to our
concern. For a long time, *identity* was a concept that referred to
a
stable inner core of the true self, some real, authentic self, inside
there, hiding inside the false selves that we present to the rest of
the world. This discourse of identity, with its strong representations
of inside-outside, true-false, self-other, subject-object,
individual-society has, despite its lingering and persistent traces,
run its course. We need new ways of thinking about identity. We will
begin by looking at traditional ways of thinking and talking about
identity and the ways in which feminism has helped us to go beyond
such binaries as outlined above. We will explore identity as a way of
understanding the interplay between our subjective experience of the
world and the cultural and historical settings in which shifting
subjectivities are formed. Identity is never fixed or completed, but
instead always in formation. We will analyze identity then as a
process, multiplicitous, contradictory and unstable, lacking coherence
even. In addition, we have become aware that identity is always in
part a narrative, always in part a representation. Lecturers from a
variety of backgrounds will utilize approaches from the Humanities,
the Social Sciences and Cultural Studies, focusing on representations
and identity - formations in various bodies of texts like women*s own
narratives, versions of feminist theory, gendered and ethnicized
bodies, religion, the law and state policy regulations.
In the second cluster Interdisciplinarity in Gender Studies: Poetics
and Ethics, we will attempt to understand the potential and
problematics of interdisciplinarity in terms of knowledge production,
academic practices and feminist ethics. The starting point of the
cluster is the understanding that interdisciplinarity is a problematic
concept, which nevertheless offers great potential, particularly for
feminist researchers. While it has become the current standard in
historical and literary studies, it raises specific epistemological
and ethical questions regarding knowledge production and academic
practices. This begs the question of whether interdisciplinarity is
merely a matter of research skills and the accumulation of knowledge,
or if there is more at stake. With regards to feminist research,
interdisciplinarity offers distinctive discursive and ideological
potential, especially insofar as it reveals itself as anti-colonial
and counter-hegemonic. In this cluster we will explore this potential
of interdisciplinary approaches in feminist research by attempting to
deconstruct stereotypes of research practices and the over-evaluation
of acquired skills. We will also rethink humanist research ethics in
terms of contemporary feminist theory, as well as address the notion
of pleasure as it relates to research practices. The aim of the
cluster is to explore the possibilities of interdisciplinarity, to
construct a toolbox for feminist interdisciplinary research, and to
reappropriate the pleasures at the center of feminist knowledge
production and research practices.
Aims
This advanced training course offers a diversified, but coherent
programme of study from an interdisciplinary perspective. It is meant
for MA students and PhD students and it will provide special and
separate seminars to these two groups.
Please check http://www.genderstudies.nl/summerschool for the
programmes of the last years to get an idea how the programme is
structured. The basic formula is always the same; the themes and
clusters vary.
Please check http://www.genderstudies.nl/summerschool2008 for regular
updates!
Formula:
Two lectures in the morning
Separate MA- and PhD-specific seminars in the afternoon
Social programme
Students prepare during the summer by reading and collecting material
for assignments (approximately 70 hours of work). After fulfilment of
all requirements (preparation of assignments and reading, active
participation and final essay of 10 - 15 pages), participants receive
the NOISE Certificate for 240 hours of work, equalling 9 ECTS
All participants are expected to participate in the entire programme
during the two weeks
Accommodation for students
The accommodation will be arranged by the organising university in
Utrecht and can be reserved and paid to the central co-ordination in
Utrecht. Participants can also arrange their own accommodation;
however, we advise you to *stick together* at the same
accommodation!
Tuition Fees
The tuition fee is EUR550,- This includes reading materials, but is
exclusive of accommodation, subsistence costs (i.e. evening meals,
drinks etc) and possible excursions.
Teachers in the course
The first week of the Summer School is coordinated by Prof. Gloria
Wekker and Dr. Sarah Bracke (Utrecht University); week two is
coordinated by Prof. Svetlana Slapšack (Ljubljana Graduate School of
Humanities), Sanne Koevoets MA and Domitilla Olivieri MA (Utrecht
University). Several renowned professors and scholars from various
disciplines will be teaching at the Summer School. These will be
announced on the website.
The NOISE Summer School is made possible by a grant of the Erasmus
Programme of the DG Education and Culture.
