CFP: Gender and the Imagined City
Gender, creativity, transformation: How contemporary European women
represent real and virtual cities in order to promote social changes
Friday June 17 2005
Institute of Germanic and Romance Studies
School of Advanced Study
University of London

Call for Papers
This conference seeks to explore ways in which a range of women within
Romance and other European cultures actively and richly re-imagine and
represent contemporary cities in order to change them.
The concept of the imagined or ‘virtual’ city includes digital
representations of cities, mediated by the Internet and imagined cities
mediated through literature, film and theatre. Therefore the conference
seeks contributions from scholars working in arts and humanities
disciplines within Romance and European contexts, as well as those
researching gender and the Internet.
One of its aims is to debate whether links between representation and
agency persist in postmodern contexts and how women build or represent such
links.
Proposals for twenty-minute papers should be submitted in the form of a 300
word abstract in English to Margaret Andrews <[log in to unmask]> by
Friday November 12 2004. Please include contact details plus details of
your institutional affiliation where relevant with your submission. Early
submissions welcomed. Postgraduate submissions also welcomed. Please
indicate postgraduate status with your abstract. Thank you for your
interest.
