Taking a hard look: Gender and visual culture

CONFERENCE HOSTED BY THE
INSTITUTE FOR WOMEN'S AND GENDER STUDIES,
UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA

21-22 June 2007

Keynote speaker: Prof Amelia Jones

Gender has functioned as an interdisciplinary approach and critical tool to
analyse and investigate several subject fields. As such, gender has
contributed to establishing a much-needed theoretical and practical platform
spanning across many fields of enquiry from where gender practices can
effectively be critiqued and ideally changed.

THE 16TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE SOCIETY OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND

Nietzsche, Power & Politics

March 23 - 25, 2007

UNIVERSITY OF LEIDEN, THE NETHERLANDS

CALL FOR PAPERS

Nietzsche's legacy for politics and political thought is profoundly
ambivalent and controversial. A self-declared 'antipolitical' German, he
condemned politics and all things political, yet he also called for a
'grosse Politik'. While a fierce critic of modern democracy, pleased to be
called an 'aristocratic radical', he also acknowledged democracy as the
signature of modernity and valued it as a quarantine against tyranny.

Fear and Loathing: The Springboards of Modern Culture

April 24-26, 2007

Fear and demonization have been some of the most powerful forces enlisted to
create borders between cultures. The call to build a wall between the US &
Mexico, the terms Islamofascism, and surrender monkies, the glorification of
violence in popular media-all are current expressions of fear and
loathing. In America's past we have seen fear and loathing expressed in
regard to Fascism, the Red Scare, the KKK, Japanese internment camps, the
Reservation system, deportations of foreigners, eradications of languages
other than English.
