Negotiating safety. Literary and cinematic stagings of queer spaces since 1900 (Vienne, Autriche)
The international conference “Negotiating safety. Literary and cinematic stagings of queer spaces since 1900” aims to explore the question of spaces within queer cultural productions. Although this subject has been little addressed in research, it is just as important as the question of temporalities, for example. Over two days, researchers from different disciplines, working in different geographical and cultural areas, will propose approaches for reflection and engage in joint discussion in order to open up new perspectives for research.
