Seminar Title:
Framing Transnationalism, (Re)Forming Feminisms in the Postcolonial Age

In anticipation of producing a cross-disciplinary collection on
transitional feminist studies and in keeping with this year's theme,
Imperialisms: Temporal, Spatial, Formal, this proposed seminar is a
continuation of last year's seminar: (Not) All We Do is Talk, Talk:
Communication, (Post)coloniality and Transnational Feminist
Consciousness (please contact me directly for fuller description of last
year's seminar).

Papers are being solicited in the following possible topics:
* Faith, Religion and Gendered Modernity
* =B3Other=B2 Feminisms in dialogue
* Theorizing Feminism in the Era of Multinational Capitalism
* Postmodernism and Transnational Feminism
* Rethinking Feminist Literary Theory
* How are the processes of decolonization disrupted/interrupted/stabilized
through these gendered constructions?
* How are nation-state formations consolidated by and through gender and
sexual configurations and in what ways does transnational feminist
inquiry resist those formations?
* What are the temporalities of gender and sex in the "post"-imperial age?
* Papers are invited from a wide variety of analytical approaches,
dealing with diverse possible source materials, such as historical
texts, cultural formations, fiction, film, ethnography, etc.

Please note that all abstracts for papers must be submitted through the
