International Conference, 13th – 15th November 2014
Institute of Sociology, Justus-Liebig University, Giessen


CALL FOR PAPERS
Material Matters in Times of Crisis Capitalism:

Transnational Feminist and Decolonial Approaches

The question of materiality has emerged as a central topic in studies
concerned with the body, affect, sexuality, bio-politics and digital culture
in recent years. Under the umbrella term “new materialism”, this
interdisciplinary and multifaceted academic debate seems to have revived a
Marxist vocabulary. Yet, the question of why “materiality” matters in times
of crisis capitalism is rather absent in this debate.

This international conference (papers will be accepted in Spanish,
Portuguese, German and English) takes up this question by focusing on why
and how materiality matters in times of crisis capitalism. Starting from the
assumption that crisis is not exceptional in capitalism but its constant
companion and that it represents the foundation from which the
modern/colonial world system has evolved, this conference draws on critical
feminist economics and decolonial feminist thought and practice on material
matters.

The conference has three inter-related aims: first, to examine from
transnational feminist perspectives the impact of the global crisis on
people’s livelihoods; second, to explore the theoretical contributions of
the triad of feminism, coloniality and political economy; and, third, to
consider critical feminist economics and decolonial approaches to thinking
alternative economies and convivial futures.

In this spirit we have invited key contemporary thinkers, who have linked
academic work to political activism and social intervention.  Confirmed
keynote speakers for the conference include:

* Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak (Columbia University)
* Rhoda Reddock (University of the West Indies, St. Augustine)
* Lourdes Benería (Cornell University)
* Gülay Toksöz (Ankara University)
* Gladys Elizabeth Tzul Tzul (Benemérita Universidad de Puebla)
* Marina Gržinić (Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna)

As well as inviting academic papers this conference also calls for
contributions from activists and artists in a variety of formats such as
blogs, radio programmes, video clips and performances on the following
themes (though these are by no means exhaustive):

* Between Crisis and Change: Feminism, Living Well and Conviviality (Sumak
Kawsay, Suma Qamaña-Buen Vivir, Buen Convivir)
* Queer, Transgender and Feminist approaches to Decolonizing Political
Economy
* Austerity, Gender & Migration
* Sharing Responsibilities – Rethinking Reproduction
* Feminization and the Coloniality of Labour
* Alternatives to Crisis Capitalism: From Time-Banks to the Politics of
Affect
