Papers
The Construction of Gender in Gender-Sensitive Work of International NGOs in Ghana
What understanding of ‘women’ do specific (international or European) NGOs conducting development interventions in Ghana display? My underlying assumption is that this understanding of women is often rooted in a European-enlightened context and disregards/neglects or at least treats as subsidiary more traditional views of women.Crossroads and Identities: Contemporary Canadian Women Writing Displacement
This paper focuses specifically on Connelly’s literary production as a way to investigate in more detail the kinds of questions posed by women writers engaged in writing displacement. The paper also explores to what extent Connelly’s writing allows the reader or the critic to reconfigure the political implications involved in constructing and reconstructing identities at the crossroads.Visualizing Trauma – Honor Killings, Homophobia and Prejudice: Challenging Social Injustices & Norms in a Conservative Society
This study aims to discuss images and artworks, photographs and actions by artists, activists and photographers from Turkey that challenges the conservative nature of society and gives voice to minorities while dealing with issues of gender, sexual orientation and identities.Public Movement: Performing Politics through Conflictual Coreographies
Public Movement uses aesthetics as a tool to temporarily reflect on social mechanisms to which we subjugate without questioning.Performing Identity or the Performativity of Situatedness
Considering institutions as cultural agreements my position takes its point of departure in acknowledging that materiality and culture - both including the ones of the body - are active and work on each other.Franko B and the Agitation of the Flesh: An Investigation into the Aesthetic, Cultural and Symbolic Significance of Franko B’s Open, Fragmented and Bleeding Body
This paper aims to understand the cultural significance of the open, fragmented and bleeding body, drawing in particular on the history of Christian theology, iconography and ritual bloodletting, and examining the work of Italian-born performance artist Franko BBetween East and West: The Insertion of Yasumasa Morimura’s Self-Portraits in Art History
From the series Art History (1980s - present day), this paper discusses how the appropriation of iconic western art works by the Japanese artist Yasumasa Morimura (Osaka, 1951) deals with important aspects of the construction of identity in contemporary art.Performing the Sami Experience
This paper asks what it means to portray and speak on behalf of an historically colonized subject. Olofsson re-formulates identity processes, and re-contextualizes a historical subject to address contemporary concerns as well.What Is the Shape of this Problem?
How do Leonilson and Bourgeois relate to stone, paper, words, colours, cloths of fabrics, drawing and stitching, taking actions that address their personal history and yet configure poetic operations and poetic identity?Romanian Dacianism and the Production of a “Vernacular Modernity” in the Context of the Europeanization Process
It is exactly within the effort of integration in the European Union, in the context of the Europeanization process, that a new myth of nation is created by nationalists and it has the role to define a “new national identity”, based on Dacian roots.
