Participa y/o asiste al 3rd European Conference on Politics and Gender
El plazo de presentación de abstracts para participar en 3rd European Conference on Politics and Gender termina el 1 de octubre de 2012, programado para los días 21, 22 y 23 de marzo de 2013 en la Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona)
Section Chairs: Roman Kuhar (University of Ljubljana) and David Paternotte (Université Libre de Bruxelles)
Description: «Mobilizations by feminist, gay and lesbian and queer movements have highlighted the sexualized nature of politics. By emphasizing the political dimension of private life and the political construction of desire and the body, they have both unveiled the sexual dimension of state policies and citizenship regimes, as well as opened up a horizon of new claims and strategies. However, if sexuality and intimate choices have undoubtedly become a political issue in contemporary societies, the involvement of political science in these debates has been rather slow and limited. This section, the first dedicated to LGBTQI politics at an ECPR conference, aims to map the state of the discussion and to reflect on the challenges brought by the study of sexuality and intimacy in political science. This section welcomes empirical and theoretical papers and panels from all sub-disciplines: political sociology, political theory, comparative politics, social movements, public policy, European politics, international relations, etc. Contributions must engage with wider debates in political science, and focus on developments and state of affairs of LGBTQI politics at national, European and international level. Critical discussions on why the study of LGBTQI politics is needed are also welcome. A variety of approaches is strongly encouraged, and a wide range of topics will be accepted. Issues may include, among others, the sexual construction of the state, intimate/sexual citizenship, civil society mobilizations, same-sex unions and rainbow families, transgender politics, school policies and homophobia, equal opportunity policies, Europe and sexuality, sexual nationalism.»
