Rereading Beauvoir in the Twenty-first Century, the conference aims to bring together international scholars working on Beauvoirian Studies from a wide variety of academic fields, disciplines, and approaches including but not limited to literature, history, sociology, philosophy, gender studies, women’s studies, sexuality studies, critical race theory, queer theory, translation studies, comparative analyses, and feminist theory. We invite scholarly work that discusses the significance of Beauvoir’s multifarious writings in relation to different time periods: past, present and future. Papers engaging Beauvoir as a philosopher, novelist, writer, memorialist, feminist, theorist and/or an activist are all welcome. In addition, we would like to have papers representative of a broad range of perspectives such as historical, literary, and comparative analyses of Beauvoir's life and works and of the impact of her ideas on her own time; surveys of relevant contemporary issues; and examination of new research orientations such as “queer theory,” “critical race theory,” “postcolonial and decolonial theories,’ “post-feminism,” and current efforts to redefine and reshape the agenda of the women's movement.
To submit a proposal for a paper, please send an abstract of no more than 350 words in English and a short Curriculum Vitae which includes your contact details and institutional affiliation, if any, to Dr. Deniz Durmuş ([email protected]) by December 1st, 2019.
