Call for Papers

Dates of the Congress: March 26 to 29, 2012

CALL FOR PAPERS EXTRAORDINARY EXTENTION 15TH JANUARY 2012.

YoSoyElOtro, Grupo Kóre for Gender Studies and Universidad Carlos III de Madrid invite to debate around the dual issues of gender and space. Traditionally one of the axes defining genres is based precisely on the relationship with space, although historically the dichotomy of woman/man would match up to the house/the world, these divisions are far to illustrate territory and their correspondent strategies of territorialization of the male/ female, and demand, therefore, be reconsidered.


In addition, this meeting aims to transcend language barriers that exist in the Caribbean region, exploring the diversity that is one of the characteristics of the region. Finally, we address phenomena related to both genders (also film genres, literary, etc.) as well as spatial representations in relation to the Caribbean Diaspora, understanding that diaspora and the journey are key elements to grasp the creativity of Caribbean cultures.


Suggested thematic areas
-Power, resistance, space and gender
-Bodies in space/spaces embodied
-Private made public. The House and the World
-Migratory Cartographies / Gender and Diaspora
