CALL FOR PAPERS: GENDER, THE BODY AND OBJECTIFICATION
SATURDAY 21ST/SUNDAY 22ND MAY 2005
The Department of Philosophy
University of Sheffield (UK)
Keynote speakers:
Sally Haslanger (MIT)
Rae Langton (MIT)
The conference will focus on issues relating to feminist discussions of the
body. We invite papers for blind review (suitable to be delivered in
approximately 45 minutes) on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
What is the relationship of the body to conceptions of gender? What role does
the body play in the construction of gender, and what role should it play in our
theorising of Owomannessı? How should we understand the concept woman?
Discussion of masculinity is also welcome.
How should we understand the role of the body in objectification? When does
focus on womenıs bodies result in objectification? Is objectification always
problematic? How should we understand the concept objectification itself?
Finally, what is the role of gender in objectification, and the role of
objectification in gender? How should we theorise the relationship (if any)
between the two concepts?
Contributions on other topics related to the conference title are also welcome.
Although we do not plan to have a separate graduate session, we do encourage
submissions from graduate students.
