CFP Freedom and Constraint: Colonial Subjectivites, Postcolonial Governmentalities NEW DEADLINE: 7 January Convenor: Simon Philpott (Newcastle University) 4th European Workshops in International Studies<http://www.eisa-net.org/sitecore/content/be-bruga/eisa/events/ewis.aspx> Cardiff, United Kingdom 7 - 9 June, 2017 Please submit abstracts at this site: https://www.conftool.pro/ewis2017/index.php?page=login Racialised and gendered modes of governance are inherent to colonial practices and produce hierarchies and particular forms of personhood. These enduring modes of subjectivisation are experienced as embodied daily life, but they also shape and are shaped by practices of governance on a national and international scale. Thus, the production of particular kinds of subjects plays out at national and international levels in practices of inclusion and exclusion that influence and inform governance and legal frameworks. Foucault has shown how processes of subjectivisation work through both freedom and constraint. Foucault declares that his objective "has been to create a history of the different modes by which, in our culture, human beings are made subjects." However, Foucault is clear about the cultural narrowness of his own project, and that the production of personhood across different cultural milieus deserves attention. How do different forms of government and governmentalities produce particular subjectivities? How are subjects shaped by the global reach of colonialism? We invite papers that deal with processes of subjectivisation and its intersections with colonialism in a variety of sites and at a variety of scales. Research that dismisses as well as embrace Foucault's approach is welcome. Papers that deal with the formation of personhood from traditions not deeply influenced by liberalism as well as in discourses from outside of formal academia are also most welcome. ----- Dr Elisa Wynne-Hughes Lecturer in International Relations Department of Politics and International Relations Cardiff University http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/politics-international-relations/profile/elisa-wynne-hughes/ Y Dr Elisa Wynne-Hughes Darlithydd mewn Cysylltiadau Rhyngwladol Adran Gwleidyddiaeth a Chysylltiadau Rhyngwladol Prifysgol Caerdydd http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/politics-international-relations/cy/profile/elisa-wynne-hughes/ --------------------- You have received this mail via the mailing list for the Colonial / Postcolonial / De-colonial Working Group of the British International Studies Association (http://cpdbisa.wordpress.com).
