Sekretariat für Geister, Archivpolitiken und Lücken: Die vielen Archive!

102 Jahre nach ihrer Gründung eröffnet die VBKÖ das "Sekretariat für Geister, Archivpolitiken und Lücken". Mit dem neuen Sekretariat soll eine kritische Auseinandersetzung und Aufarbeitung der eigenen Vereinsgeschichte strukturell verankert werden.

Women and men in Europe in the first decades of the 21st century are confronted with acute social, political, cultural, economic and environmental concerns, including increasingly racist politics and nationalist discourses across Europe, huge cutbacks in social services and education, strengthening conservative gender discourses, and an overall climate unfavorable if not hostile to feminist, queer, and other progressive movements. In striving to address these concerns on regional, national and international levels, feminist scholars are re-assessing their theoretical and political toolbox.

Lectures, Workshops, and more

The aim of this conference is to open up a space for dialogue between different methodological approaches, forms of activism, research fields and interests of the "import_export_transport" of queer theory, critique and activism.

Drawing on the impact of postcolonial feminism and its enactments, this conference will examine how women are affected by political systems in a global climate, how feminism translates and moves across borders, and how feminism can be utilised as a methodology for understanding the transnational context.
Here the transnational is understood to be a complication of notions of the 'elsewhere', highlighting the challenges of fluidity, movement and instability whilst also paying close attention to locatedness. This is a feminism that is engaged with the woman-as-subject without making universalising claims regarding women's experience; it both considers how gender operates and critiques categorisation.

at Ballhaus Naunynstraße, Berlin
August 28th–30th 2009

The conference will develop a queer-theoretical perspective on contemporary art practices. Four art and queer theorists will intensely and publicly work with, on, and about four art works, which will be on display during the conference. A film and performance programme and a workshop will bring in further perspectives, artistic material and visual/linguistic practices.
