OUT OF PLACE: Interrogating Silences in Queerness/Raciality
24-25 March 2006, Lancaster, UK _www.lancs.ac.uk/fass/events/outofplace_
/Out of Place/ arises from a growing sense of dissatisfaction
surrounding the ways in which 'raciality' is theorised and politicised
within queer discourse and practice. The inclusion of a 'race paper' in
conferences, or the few non-white participants becoming a representation
of 'multiculturalism' in any given group promoting diversity: such
attempts to consider the idea of 'race' alongside 'queer' often result
in the submergence of raciality within queerness. These situations often
leave the very racialised groups in question silent/silenced---'out of
place'---within supposedly queer spaces, and it is these silences which
we wish to listen to. We believe that 'raciality' and 'queerness' should
always be interrogated together as queerness/raciality in order to hear
the invisible, to see the inaudible. How and/or what are the ways in
which 'raciality' becomes silent and/or silenced within the queer
discourse and practice? What do these silences do and how can they be
conceptualised?
/Out of Place /aims to provide a forum for students, artists and
activists to answer or explore these questions through open interaction
between participants, papers and performances. As the title suggests, we
wish to interrogate the different and differing experiences,
definitions, and problems of each word---'out', 'place', 'silence'---and
how these may or may not affect the concept of 'queerness/raciality'.
Although you are not restricted to the following, we invite you to
explore some of these themes which we hope to open up:
* Silences: how is raciality/queerness (self)regulated or
(self)imposed?
* Places: how do places change/challenge/stablise the experience
and modes of queerness/raciality?
* Queer and race theories: are there still any bridges to cross
* Colour: non-whiteness and/or whiteness: what does it mean?
* 'Passing' and 'coming out': how do you 'pass'/'out' your
queerness/raciality in different contexts?
* Fears: what are the insecurities/fears surrounding
queerness/raciality?
* Visibility/visuality: is raciality/queerness always about
being visible/visual?
* Politics: how can we celebrate and promote queerness/raciality
/Keynote speaker: Dr. Jasbir Puar, Rutgers University /
/ /
Your presentation can take a form of 15-20 minutes paper, poster
discussion or performance OR a 10 minutes participation in a round table.
We expect to have small funds to cover part of the travel expenses of
the presenting participants. Further information will be provided in due
time.
*Deadline for abstracts:* Please send abstracts of 200-300 words,
specifying the topic and the form of your presentation, and a short bio,
*by 4 December 2005*, to Esperanza Miyake [log in to unmask] or
Adi Kuntsman [log in to unmask] .* *

*Deadline for registration: *both presenting and non-presenting
participants are asked to register by *20 December 2005*.
