Here is the CFP for the main conference of the project INDELIBLE (Eng) / INDELEBILE (It) – Representation in the arts of (in)visible violence against women and their resistance - https://acis.org.au/visual-and-performance-studies/
The conference will take place 23-25 October 2019 – Adelaide (South Australia) and a selection of papers will be published in a special issue of a highly ranked journal or dedicated volume. Visual arts, performing arts and literature are instrumental in exposing the complexity of the numerous forms that violence against women and girls can take in the contemporary world, as well as exploring new and old forms of resistance. Our interdisciplinary conference aims to contribute to the ‘glocal’ conversation on the topic of gendered violence and at the same time raise awareness of the global extent of the problem, by analysing ways in which both such violence and resistance to it are represented in the arts. While a key strand of the conference will concern the arts in contemporary Italy, its scope will be broad, encouraging comparison with other societies across space and time. In line with this aim, we welcome papers engaging with any of the following (and associated) topics, in relation to poetry, literature, theatre, opera, music, cinema or other visual arts: Family violence Places and sites of violence War, conflict and violence Migration, diaspora and violence Resistance vs politics Language and images of violence and resistance Myth in representations of violence Historical developments and representations viewed through a contemporary lens Activism and international campaigns (including #MeToo / #wetoogether / #TimesUp / Se non ora quando / Non una di meno / La violenza non è amore / Panchine rosse) Key-note speaker: Dacia Maraini (writer, dramaturg, screenwriter) Please send a 250-300 word abstract (in Italian or English) and a short bio to Luciana d’Arcangeli, [email protected], in an email titled “ACIS 2019 INDELIBLE-INDELEBILE”, by 30 March 2019.
This conference is supported by the Australasian Centre for Italian Studies (ACIS) and is part of the ACIS Visual and Performing Arts Research Group project INDELIBLE (Eng) / INDELEBILE (It) THE REPRESENTATION OF (IN)VISIBLE VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND THEIR RESISTANCE
I don't know if this will help, but I wrote a short essay on the inherent objectification of women in costume and how it subliminally casts them as sexist objects.
I attached the document for your use as you please and attached my resume as well
Dear John, I have finally had a little time to look at what you have sent and marvel at your career and your wit. I will be taking some inspiration from you when I write my piece on Matteo Garrone's costumes for a Rome conference in June.
My son has been wanting to be a theatre actor/writer since he was 3 yo and is now at uni studying Drama and Screen Studies. I, like everyone else, can only hope for the best for my child and I am pleased to say he is starting on the right foot because he would not be asking you about the saucy stories. There is a part of me that dreads his future auditions, rejections etc. but I also know he is a man for secret appointments to whatever emergency service is needed. A job well done.
Kind regards,
Luciana
