CALL FOR PAPERS:
International Committee for the History of Technology
29th Symposium of ICOHTEC - 24-29 June 2002 - Granada (Spain)
Session: Arts, Technology and Gender
Organisers: Martine Duquesne, University of Paris I-Pantheon-Sorbonne,
France, and Joan Rothschild, CUNY Graduate Center, USA
Chair: Joan Rothschild
This is a call for papers from participants whose research explores, directly or indirectly, relationships of the Arts, Technology and Gender. The proposed session seeks to be a space to exchange case studies and share reflections on varied ways the Arts, Technology and Gender may intersect and interrelate. By Arts we include arts generally (visual arts, both fine and applied, film and photography, literature, music, theatre, dance and
other performing arts, etc). Among some basic questions to be considered: Are there, in the arts, as in other areas, gendered practices influenced or adjusted by or through technology? Are there areas and forms in the arts that may escape gendering, and if so, what role might technology play? Do some technologies influence gendered divisions more than or differently from others?
Please send a one-page CV, a title and an abstract (500 words), in Spanish,
French or English, in the body of the message, to Martine Duquesne at
mduquesn@worldnet.fr
Deadline: January 10th 2002
