Feminist theory workshop travel awards

Duke University, Durham, NC USA

Deadline October 31, 2017

The Feminist Theory Workshop (FTW), which is now in its twelfth year offers a unique opportunity for scholars to engage in sustained dialogue about feminist theory as a scholarly domain of inquiry. The workshop will be held March 23-24, 2018 at Duke University in Durham, NC. The “workshop” approach of this conference requires active participation of both presenters and attendees. The FTW consists of seminars led by visiting scholars, keynote lectures, and roundtable discussions. Our keynote speakers for 2018 are Jennifer Nash, Associate Professor, African-American Studies & Gender and Sexuality Studies at Northwestern University ;  Denise Ferreira da Silva, Director & Associate Professor of the Institute for Gender, Race, Sexuality and Social Justice at the University of British Columbia; Silvia Federici, Professor Emerita of New College at Hofstra University; and Anne Allison, Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Duke University ; in addition to special guests who will serve on the closing roundtable.

The Feminist Theory Workshop (FTW ) hosts participants from institutions all over the globe, as these diverse voices continue to be crucial to the workshop’s drive to understand feminist theory across both disciplinary and national boundaries. We are offering at least five awards of up to $1,000 to enable the participation of post-graduate and post-doctoral emerging scholars from outside the United States. The awards are to fund the travel expenses of scholars coming from institutions outside the US to attend the workshop. NO payment of any funds will be made to any individual. Gender, Sexuality and Feminist Studies will make direct payments to the contracted travel agent for the approved travel expenses.

1^er concours international de poésie

Poème sélectionné sur le thème "la joie"

Les moufles’ moutatchou

Natacha Guiller

Blog/blogue : http://natachaguiller.blogspot.fr/

Têtard trop tard

Petit salé mi-cuit enterré

Poisson pané d’utérusoporose

Il est des regards en nids de kangourous

Qui ondulent, petite moustache, sur mes restes de peau

Je manque échoir au sol, la terre sèche où s’écroule

L’éradiqué espoir un jour des rives en mer Poule

Si tout un humain s’ébrèche sur mon mode

Infertile sabotage du genre féminin

Infantile fêlure au casque

C’est l’extinction de l’Homme

Maman à mon âge, le couffin love tes flancs

Le doucereux paysage d’un bain incontinent

Le velours utérin absent de marécages

Modelée, fac-similé au cœur de ton sillage

Adoptée, mise en ligne sur Mondedesvivants

J’ai dilapidé grave

Mon capital mioche

Ravale des coques de noix

Dans un mouchoir de poche

Dali esquisse pour moi

L’ovale surréaliste

L’œuf en froid stérile

Attente les montres molles

Je ne saigne ni ne geigne

La ménorrhée anhydre

D’un corps dénué de règles

Sans lois élémentaires

Sang-froid, sans chair, amorphe

Absente de désir

Déni d’eaux menstruelles

Éradique l’ovaire

Les saisons englouties en zone inhabitable

Mes cellules d’innocence ont déserté le Nil

Nombril inerte au corps, logo ad vitam

D’aucune œuvre pastiche suivra ma délivrance

Je partirai sans charme, en nonne solitaire

Ma faïence immuable, bruits d’os d’éclats de terre

Je partirai en femme, utopique daronne

L’à-demi-mémorable petite ourse d’hiver

Le regard tournique en landaus

Trouble dérive, la privation

Péril jeune, dénidation

L’élan d’une jeunesse ivre

Vision de petites moufles

Sourient en libellules

L’esbroufe conciliabule

Commun accord : la joie de vivre
