This conference is co-organized by the Social Anthropology Department of Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain. The 2011 Conference theme focuses on the multiple ways that equality and inequality are articulated through sexuality. The meeting will explore diverse situations and issues of (in)equality with regard to sexuality in the global arena, bringing together researchers, advocates, policymakers and practitioners to critically share their strategies and challenges that inform and inspire new forms of action and thinking about sexuality. The theme of the meeting invites dialogue and analyses of the interplay of sexuality, sexual identity, gender, class, race, ethnicity, age, citizenship and inequality. As well, the conference theme invites analyses placed within the context of the state’s willingness (or reticence) to discuss and incorporate practices, discourses, laws and public policies that acknowledge sexual rights for all men and women and promote gender equality, and recognition of sexual diversity. The official language of the conference is English. However, for the first time, we will have one afternoon of sessions in the language of the host country, namely Spanish, with simultaneous interpretation. Due to the limited space and time for presentations in Spanish, only a limited number of abstracts will be accepted in that language. In line with the IASSCS’ mission, the conference seeks to promote links between researchers, academics, advocates and activists by addressing the process of taking theory into practice, conceptualizing the meaning and significance of advocacy at the national and community level, and supporting and advancing the implementation of sexual rights. We can receive submissions in various formats: verbal presentations, posters, exhibits and workshop presentations. THE ABSTRACT DEADLINE IS JANUARY 10th, 2011 For more information regarding the main themes of the Conference, details on the types and guidelines for submission, please visit our website (www.iasscs.org/2011conference). ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE: JANUARY 10TH 2011 www.iasscs.org/2011conference [log in to unmask] Tenemos el placer de anunciarles la octava reunión bianual de la Asociación Internacional para el Estudio de la Sexualidad, la Cultura y la Sociedad (IASSCS) “Nombrar y definir: la construcción de la (des)igualdad sexual”. Esta conferencia es co-organizada por el Departamento de Antropología Social de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, España. El tema de la conferencia 2011 se centra en las múltiples formas en las que la igualdad y la desigualdad se articulan a través de la sexualidad. Este año exploraremos diversas situaciones de (des)igualdad y sexualidad en el mundo y debatiremos propuestas, acercamientos, posibilidades, victorias, inspiraciones críticas y desafíos que informan e inspiran nuevas formas de actuar y de pensar en torno a la sexualidad. IASSCS y España, como país anfitrión, invitan a abrir debates en torno a la interacción de sexualidad, identidad sexual, género, clase, raza, etnicidad, edad, ciudadanía y desigualdad en el contexto de la apertura o resistencia social para discutir e incorporar prácticas, discursos, leyes y políticas públicas que reconozcan los derechos sexuales de hombres y mujeres y que promuevan la igualdad de género y el respeto de la diversidad sexual. El idioma oficial de la conferencia será el inglés. Sin embargo, durante una de las tardes, las sesiones se realizarán tanto en español como en inglés, con traducción simultánea. Debido al limitado espacio y tiempo para las presentaciones en español, solamente se aceptará un número limitado de resúmenes en ese idioma. En concordancia con las metas de IASSCS, la conferencia busca crear puentes entre la academia y el activismo, llevando la teoría a la práctica y viceversa, reflexionando sobre el activismo cotidiano y generando presión política y social para el reconocimiento de los derechos sexuales. Por este motivo, se sugieren varios formatos de propuestas en las conferencias de IASSCS: presentación de ponencias, pósteres, exhibición de experiencias e iniciativas y talleres. La fecha límite para enviar resúmenes es el 10 de enero del 2011.
