Dear all,

 *Sex and Sexuality in East-Central Europe, Past and Present *

 *An Interdisciplinary Conference at the Central European University*

*Budapest *

*October 16-17, 2015*



Sex and sexuality in East-Central European contexts are relatively new
topics of academic inquiry. While the past five years have seen a growing
academic interest, from histories of queer life, prostitution and sexology
to ethnographies of lgbtq movements and queer literary representations,
forums for scholars working on sex and sexuality in East-Central Europe
have often remained fragmented and disciplinarily bound. This conference
strives to contest and bridge these boundaries by bringing together
scholars from a wide range of disciplinary perspectives to ask: What are
the driving questions, theoretical and conceptual issues, and social and
political realities that have shaped research agendas in this area? How can
we work together to expand our understandings of these issues and realities
and their consequences? How can the site of East-Central Europe, past and
present, challenge us to theorize and politicize sex and sexuality in new
ways?

We invite proposals for papers and pre-organized panels addressing
historical and contemporary aspects of sex and sexuality in the
East-Central European context within the following broad themes:

·      State, trans/supra-state, and civil society institutions,
discourses, and practices

·      Political economies

·      Religion

·      Markets (i.e. commodifications, consumptions, tourisms, sex work,
pornography, prostitution, trafficking)

·      Science, medicine and public health (i.e. HIV/AIDS, medical-scientific
knowledge and expertise, etc.)

·      Normativities, non-normativities and queerness

·      Disabilities

·      Mainstream, marginal, and alternative social movements

·      Reflection on the above in literature and the arts as well the media
(including, new media, social media)


 We welcome proposals from the humanities and the social sciences including
but not limited to anthropology, literary studies, history, political
science, sociology, science studies and women’s, gender, and sexuality
studies.

 Paper proposals should include:

·      contact information (name, email and academic affiliation of the
applicant);

·      a 300 to 400-word abstract that includes the title of paper;

·      a short biographical statement.

Pre-organized panels should consist of 3-4 papers. Panel organizers are
welcome to suggest a discussant for their panels. If you wish to organize a
panel in a different format, please contact the conference organizers.

Panel proposals should include information about proposed papers as listed
above and a 300-400-word panel description.
