Call for Papers:

The Intimate and the Extimate: Violence and Gender in the Globalized World

Ed., Sanja Bahun-Radunovi? and V.G. Julie Rajan, Rutgers University

Featuring a Preface written by Charlotte Bunch, Executive Director of the Center
 for Women's Global Leadership, the anthology The Intimate and the Extimate:
Violence and Gender in the Globalized World will explore violence against women
as reflected in and refracted through a gendered lens from the individual to the
local, regional, and the international levels. The collection explores violence
as both an unsettled/unsettling philosophical category and as a unifying term
for the diverse material acts of the physical, representational, psychological,
historical, and cultural spheres. A core agenda of the text is to bring
visibility to the lesser-known forms of violence and to violence in uncommonly
considered parts of the globe. We are seeking papers addressing a wide range of
topics, from the rhetoric and epistemology of violence, to the relationships
between subalternity and violence, to the legal repercussions, sexual and health
implications, artistic articulations, dynamics of environment and development,
linguistic or cultural hegemonic, or historical and transgenerational
inscriptions of violence. Deadline: November 1, 2005. Please email abstract,
150-word biography, and contact information to: V.G. Julie Rajan at
julie@rajans.org
