Call for Papers: Critical Feminist Biography as Translocal History

Journal of Women’s History Special Issue
Co-edited by Marilyn Booth and Antoinette Burton
Comparative Literature, History, and Gender and Women’s Studies
University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
USA

The return of the embodied subject as a site generative of analytical
force and explanatory power in fields of inquiry throughout the
humanities and social sciences, including postcolonial theory and even
global studies, calls for reassessing the work of feminist biography as
a form of historical knowledge.

We seek papers that engage the dynamics of feminist biography as a
critical mode of historical thinking and especially as an articulation
of translocal history. We use the term translocal in dynamic tension
with the transnational, in part to re-appropriate the geographical
specificities entailed by critical biography as a feminist practice, and
in part to insist on the capacity of feminist biography to illuminate
geopolitics beyond the boundaries of the nation.

We are interested in essays that focus on the construction of
biographical subjects while theorizing problems that arise from the
conjuncture of individual figures moving across space and time; the
presumptions of history as a discipline; and/or the limits and blind
spots of feminist inquiry as it has been practiced in the academy.

We are especially keen to receive submissions from scholars residing
outside Euro-America and/or interrogating the limits of the western
historical canon.

The deadline for submissions is 1 August 2007. Please be sure to consult
the JWH website for submission guidelines:
