Call for Papers: In the framework of the 9th Historical Materialism
Conference, 'Weighs like A Nightmare', SOAS, Central London, 8-11 November
2012
Feminisms and Marxisms
A new generation of anti-capitalist feminists has emerged in the last
years across the world. Though not without tensions and disagreements,
these new feminist currents have been in constant dialogue with different
traditions of Marxism and the Marxist critique of political economy in
areas ranging from social science, philosophy to art history. With the aim
of providing a space for this dialogue, the 9th Historical Materialism
conference in London welcomes presentations exploring the synergies
between the feminist and the Marxist critiques of capitalism in their
various articulations.
Paper proposals (between 200 and 300 words) should be submitted by
registering at <http://www.historicalmaterialism.org/conferences> BEFORE
10 May 2012.
Submissions will be peer reviewed. Please be aware that the
conference is self-funded therefore we are unable to help with travel and
accommodation costs.
Themes of particular interest for the conference include:
· Marxist and Socialist feminism in the 21st century
· The critique of the political economy of sex work
