>
>Diasporic Identities and Medi@ted Cultures: Gender, Power, Representations
>
>AIMS
>This two-week intensive Summer School, coordinated by Utrecht University,
>with the participation of the universities of Pisa and Bologna, offers a
>varied and integrated programme in Women’s Studies from multicultural and
>interdisciplinary perspectives. The school consists of three clusters,
>emphasising postcolonial literary theory, feminist cultural studies and
>feminist social sciences. The notion of ‘identity’ stands central in this
>course. It is defined as a dynamic and contested notion, which will be
>approached from a number of comparative European multicultural angles.
>Issues related to ethnocentrism and the critique of racism will be raised
>within gender and women’s studies. The very idea of ‘European identity’
>will be discussed from a sociological and cultural studies framework.
>Issues of inclusion, exclusion and therefore of access and participation in
>the making of European identities will also be addressed in a gender
>perspective. The NOI&SE Summer School 2000 will deal with these issues in
>the context of the global media phenomenon, from telecommunication to the
>internet and the electronic frontier. The displacement of identities is
>therefore the central concern of the Summer School, as is the reflection on
>the various forms of cultural mediation that are available within gender
>and women’s studies today.
>

>students, as well as postgraduate and PhD students. Applicants should have
