<DIV>Special issue: Gendering Genocide</DIV>
<DIV>Editors: Ayşe Gül Altınay and Andrea Petö</DIV>
<DIV>Deadline: January 10, 2014</DIV>
<DIV>The 20th century has been a century of genocides. It has also been a
century of feminist struggle and theorizing globally. This special issue seeks
to bring together feminist and queer critiques of genocides and genocide
studies. We welcome contributions from diverse regions both in and outside
Europe, as well as diverse approaches and perspectives.</DIV>
<DIV>Central questions include (but are not limited to):</DIV>
<DIV> Gender and Genocide: How are racist, ethnicist, supremacist genocidal
discourses shaped by regimes of gender and sexuality? What do we learn about the
gendering of violence and genocide when we move beyond the gendered dichotomy of
“perpetrator vs. victim”?</DIV>
<DIV> Sexual Violence: How do feminist scholars theorize the different uses of
sexual violence in genocides? How about different (political, legal, literary,
visual) responses to sexual violence? How can we analyze layers of gendered
silencing around sexual violence?</DIV>
<DIV> Sources and Silences: Where are women’s and LGBT experiences and
perspectives in genocide sources, archives, narratives, histories and other
representations? Where are absences and silences located? (cf. Michel-Rolph
Trouillot) What are the consequences of the “digital turn” in the archivization
of genocide memories?</DIV>
<DIV> Testimony and (Post)Memory: How do feminist and queer theories complicate
such key concepts as “archive” (or “counter-archive”), “witnessing” and
“testimony”? How do (written, oral or visual) testimonies as well as other
artistic, literary, and popular memory works contribute to making visible and
unsettling the gendered and (hetero)sexualized depictions of genocide? Is
“postmemory” (cf. Marianne Hirsch) a useful concept to understand how memory
works across time and space? What kinds of challenges do feminist and queer
(re)theorizing of memory and postmemory pose for genocide studies?</DIV>
<DIV> Post-genocide? When is a genocide over? Who are the “survivors” of
genocide? How are conceptions of “post-genocide” and “survival” gendered? How
are “humanitarian interventions,” post-genocide processes, and transitional
justice gendered, sexualized, racialized and ethnicized? How has “coming to
terms” with past genocides been conceptualized by feminist and queer movements,
theories, literary and artistic productions?</DIV>
<DIV> Politics of Memory: How are genocides memorialized and gendered through
monuments, museums, digital archives, and other memory sites? What current
initiatives deal with or mobilize gendered memories of genocide, contributing to
or challenging hegemonic frameworks of genocide recognition vs. genocide
denial?</DIV>
<DIV> Education/Pedagogy: What are the political possibilities and challenges
posed by the institutionalization of “genocide education” in school curricula,
museums, and other pedagogical sites? To what extent have feminist and queer
interventions in genocide studies been incorporated into “genocide
education”?</DIV>
<DIV> Theoretical Challenges: What kind of impact have feminist and queer
theories had on critical genocide studies?How do feminist scholars make the link
between different genocides and genocidal processes? What new concepts or
theoretical frameworks (queer? postcolonial? critical race studies? comparative
genocide studies?) promise new openings in feminist analyses of genocides?</DIV>
