Changing Social
Dynamics: Gendered Theories of Power, Control and Exclusion
(May 29th-June 4th, 2000)
Centre for Women's Studies, Zagreb, Croatia is pleased to
announce a course "Changing Social Dynamics: Gendered Theories of Power,
Control and Exclusion" to be held at the Inter-University Centre (IUC),
Dubrovnik, Croatia from May 29th-June 4th, 2000. The course will be co-directed
by: Joanna Regulska, Rutgers University, Biljana Kasic, Centre for Women's
Studies, Zagreb, and Jasmina Lukic, Central European University Budapest.
Topic
The main objective of the course is to examine
the gendering of the way in which change is being shaped, resisted, and accepted,
and how it impacts on the existing social, political, and legal systems in
Central and Eastern Europe. The course will focus on the following themes:
theorizing power, gender locations and politics of change, theorizing exclusion,
ideologies of identities and identities of resistance, spaces and sites of
resistance, power of narration, building movements and constructing communities.
The ambition of the course, consisting of lectures and discussions, is to
address such questions as: How does theorizing of power and gender influence the
choice of political strategies? What are the new ways of constructing gender in
our respective societies? How do various geo-political locations effect
formation and transformation of gender and sexual identities? What is new about
"new" democracies when we think of gender? What are the subtle ways of
exclusions behind the feminist call for inclusion of women? What modes of power
and/or control are we (re)producing by our resistance?
The course is built on 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 within the changing social systems are influencing our own theoretical
and political choices.
Invited resource persons: Barbara Einhorn (University
of Sussex), Malgorzata Fuszara (University of Warsaw), Dasa Duhacek (Centre
for Women's Studies, Belgrade), Darja Zavirsek (University of Ljubljana),
Chris Corrin (University of Glasgow), Maria Suarez Lafuente (University
of Oviedo).
