Call for papers: "Sexuality, Textuality, Image"

The Second CISSGE Postgraduate Conference University of Exeter 12th
September 2008

The University of Exeter is delighted to host "Sexuality, Textuality,
Image": the second postgraduate conference of the Centre for the
Interdisciplinary Study of Sexuality and Gender in Europe (CISSGE).

Sexuality, Textuality, Image will provide a forum in which researchers can
explore the aesthetic, theoretical and cultural issues of representation
which are at play in texts and images, with a particular focus on the
concept of sexuality. We welcome papers which explore the tensions of
representation in a variety of texts - including art, film, photography,
drama, literature and media forms - in order to address some of the key
questions surrounding textuality and imagery. To what extent can images be
read as texts, and texts as images? What discursive and iconographic issues
can be said to surround specific texts?

Suggested topics include:

* Intertextuality and adaptation
* The politics and poetics of pornography
* The relationship between the high and the popular
* Masculinity/male studies
* Depictions of normative and non-normative sexualities
* The processes and pedagogies of reading images as texts, and texts as
images

We hope to contextualise these questions in relation to contemporary
culture, art history, performativity, queer theories, feminist theories,
transgender theories and approaches which may fall outside this aegis -
including bisexuality studies, masculinity studies, and heterosexuality
studies.

Confirmed keynote speakers:

Professor Derek Duncan (University of Bristol), author of Reading and
Writing Italian Homosexuality (2005) and Cultural Encounters (2002). Title:
"'Princesa': Transgender/Transmedial/Transnational"

Professor Mick Mangan (University of Exeter), author of Staging
Masculinities (2002) and Performing [Dark] Arts (2007). Title: "Erotic
Theatres: Sexuality and Gender on the English Stage"

Please send expressions of interest/ abstracts (200 words max.) to Michelle
Parslow (M.L.Parslow@exeter.ac.uk) by 31 May 2008.
