October 21-22, 2022 Hybrid conference: Online and in Ottawa

Deadline: July 20, 2022

Historically, war has been a profoundly gendered experience, as traditional dichotomies put women securely on the “Homefront,” as supporters, caregivers and afterward, as mourners of the dead. Much scholarship has reflected on the historical experiences both on the battlefield and the “Homefront,” and we now know that these two cannot be neatly separated. Early historiography focused on the contention that war broke down gender norms, even was liberating for women. While we are interested in continuing such discussions, we are also hopeful of expanding and diversifying them by hearing about gendered experiences of war-related activities in Ontario. How did women manage new familial tensions, take on new types of work, remember those who were lost? In particular, we seek to explore how war is now taught in schools, how war is remembered and preserved through public history institutions and through commemoration, and new insights from current academic research on these subjects.

New deadline for submissions is June 24, 2022.

We are welcoming scholars, students, activists and artists across wide fields of feminist and gender research and praxis to join us for the international Gender Studies conference 2022 – Feminist Matterings: Indigenous and Arctic Engagements. The conference will host 26 workshops that cover the themes of the conference in inter/transdisciplinary manner and from various perspectives.

The conference seeks to produce new feminist and Indigenous thought to reimagine future solidarities and ways of knowing. The conference calls to explore how rich transdisciplinary collaboration can help feminist research matter in the effort to build more sustainable, intelligent and humane world(s) in the Arctic and beyond. In addition to alluding to the ethico-political significance of feminist research, the keyword matterings in the conference title also refers to new materialist inspirations and the material aspects of knowledge production. In the spirit of Science and Technology Studies (STS), we wish to investigate the material aspects of epistemic practices and the complex relationship between knowledge and power.

Date limite de soumission des propositions : 1er août 2022

Parce que régulièrement enseignée et massivement commentée, et ce, depuis plusieurs décennies, par d’imposantes analystes ayant proposé des lectures qu’il semble parfois difficile de dépasser¹, l’œuvre de Gabrielle Roy peut laisser croire qu’elle est aujourd’hui usée ou, à tout le moins, qu’elle se révèle toujours plus difficile à atteindre, tout engluée ou empêtrée qu’elle est dans une imposante masse de discours critiques. Or cette impression (mensongère) qui laisse croire qu’on a fait le tour du jardin à son sujet ou que les accès pour entrer dans son œuvre sont encombrés mérite très certainement d’être dissipée. Au sujet des classiques littéraires, Italo Calvino rappelait à juste titre que les canons littéraires « provoque[nt] sans cesse un nuage de discours critiques, dont [ils] se débarrassent continuellement² » ou dont il faut continuellement les extirper pour en redécouvrir l’actualité.
