CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT
17-19 November 2005, Duke University
GENDERING THE DIASPORA, RACE-ING THE TRANSNATIONAL:
Feminists Theorizing Differences, Hegemonies and Diasporic Formations
How might diaspora studies and transnational feminism be placed in
productive dialogue?
In what way is gender central to the production of diaspora?
How might we see diasporas as differentiated spaces - by time, place,
class and generation?
How might racial formation be seen as central to the project of feminist
transnationalism?
GENDERING THE DIASPORA, RACE-ING THE TRANSNATIONAL brings feminist
transnational critique into an extended conversation with scholarship on
the African Diaspora to think critically about some of the various
"hegemonies" that have shaped these fields. Focusing on questions of
difference,
intra-diasporic linkages, unequal circulations and configurations of
culture, power, and politics, the conference aims to formulate a
gendered transnational analysis of the relations of Diaspora that rethinks
the
implications of globalization in generative and dynamic ways.
