FYI... Stefanie Rixecker ECOFEM Coordinator ------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- From: Doris R Alfonso <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> *** *** *** CALL FOR PANEL PARTICIPANTS *** *** *** *** *** *** "S E X / Q U E E R / G E N D E R" *** *** *** Simone deBeauvoir's famous distinction between sex and gender -- that one is not a born a woman, but rather becomes one -- has served to inspire a generation of feminist theory and activism. Arguable, various contestations of the sex/gender distinction inaugurate a new turn in feminism, and has opened the field for queer theory and practices. Our panel will explore the reworking of sex and gender at the intersection of feminist and queer theory. Possible themes include: -Queer subjects between sex and gender �reworking lesbian/gay/trans/bi identities -Queer flesh, queer bodies -Performativity and Citationality -Coalitional politics, running through Queer and Feminist politics -Queer and technology -Queer Cyborgs -Queer and Race -Representation and reproduction @ Queer Nation -Queer and theories of sexual difference If you would like to participate, send an e-mail to me at: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The next Meeting for the Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy will be October 7-9 1999 at the University of Oregon. Deadline for submissions is Feb.1 1999. rita Alfonso ������ ************************************ Dr. Stefanie S.
