1. Health, Embodiment, and Visual Culture: Engaging Publics and Pedagogies Organizers: Sarah Brophy, Associate Professor, Department of English and Cultural Studies, McMaster University
Janice Hladki, Associate Professor, School of the Arts, McMaster University Keynotes/Speakers: *Rebecca Belmore,* internationally recognized Anishinabekwe artist, Vancouver; *Lisa Cartwright,* Professor of Communication and Science Studies and Affiliated Faculty in Gender Studies, Department of Communication, University of California, San Diego; *Robert McRuer,* Professor and Deputy Chair, Department of English, George Washington University, Washington, DC; *Ato Quayson,* Professor of English and Director of the Centre for Diaspora and Transnational Studies, University of Toronto Theme: This interdisciplinary conference seeks to explore how visual cultural practices image and imagine unruly bodies and, in so doing, respond to Patricia Zimmermann's call for “radical media democracies that animate contentious public spheres” (2000, p. xx). Our aim is to explore how health, disability, and the body are theorized, materialized, and politicized in forms of visual culture including photography, video art, graphic memoir, film, body art and performance, and digital media. Accordingly, we invite proposals for individual papers and roundtables that consider how contemporary visual culture makes bodies political in ways that matter for the future of democracy. Proposals may draw on fields such as: visual culture, critical theory, disability studies, health studies, science studies, autobiography studies, indigenous studies, feminisms, queer studies, and globalization/ transnationalism. Suggested Topics: POSSIBLE THEMATICS INCLUDE: technologies, cultural production, disability, and affect.
CFP Address: If electronic submission is not possible, please mail or fax proposals to arrive by January 15, 2010.
