Entre la tierra y el ciberespacio

A primera vista el ecofeminismo y el ciberfeminismo pudieran parecer
tendencias opuestas, de hecho  representan  modos diferentes de cr?tica
cultural de las  presunciones sobre los cuerpos de las mujeres, nuestras
vidas y nuestros textos. En conjunto, estas metodolog?as anal?ticas nos
brindan perspectivas hol?sticas para analizar la producci?n cultural de las
mujeres en un amplio espectro, desde lo natural y material hasta lo
artificial y virtual, y todo lo que se incluye entre ambas categor?as. L at s
participantes pueden considerar cualquier ?poca en sus ensayos y pueden
abordar los siguientes temas:

Nuevas tecnolog?as y el mundo virtual
La construcci?n del ciborg: cuerpo,    g?nero y representaci?n art?stica.
Monstruos y monstruosidades.
Las incursiones de la mujer y su producci?n art?stica en la red virtual.
La alianza entre la mujer y la m?quina: nuevas representaciones.
?Matriz?/Madre/ ?Otr@?.
El hipertexto y la hiperescritura: ?una escritura de la diferencia?
La mujer como ?mascarada?, ficci?n, construcci?n artificial.
Utop?as vs. distop?as: ciencia ficci?n, ficci?n de horror.
Ecofeminismo: cuerpo, g?nero y representaciones art?sticas.
La naturaleza del transg?nero y sus respresentaciones.
Da?os ambientales: ruinas, desastres ecol?gicos.
Nuevas/otras espiritualidades.
Las pr?cticas de ruptura como acciones pol?ticas de concienciaci?n.
Los movimientos sociales y las formas de resistencia en las artes, el cine
y la literatura.
Raza, g?nero y activismo.
Resistencias ind?genas.
Los feminismos de la Tercer Ola.
El Ejecutivo organizar? dos sesiones sobre la profesi?n:  una sobre
estrategias de publicaci?n, y otra sobre la carrera acad?mica.
Cada comunicaci?n dispone de un m?ximo de 20 minutos. Las lenguas del
congreso son espa?ol, ingl?s y portugu?s.

Por favor env?ar su abstract con los datos institucionales antes del 16 de
abril del 2012 a: <22congreso at gvsu.edu>

Subject: [GEMELA] Essays for a volume on "semi-religious women": Call for
	proposals
Message-ID: <web-2126417@guppy.mail.virginia.edu>

Dear GEMELA members:

   At the last meeting of the Sixteenth Century Studies Society, there were two well attended sessions on semi-religious women. The response to those sessions has inspired me to write this proposal for a volume of essays on the topic. Please let me know if you are working in this area and would like to submit a proposal for an essay.

Without Solemn Vows: Devout Laywomen before and after Trent
Alison Weber, University of Virginia
	
	I am planning to submit a proposal to the editors of the Ashgate series ?Women and Gender in Early Modern Europe? for a collection of essays on women known variously as tertiaries, beatas, beguines, bizzoche, pinzochere, or semi-religious?women who took informal vows of chastity and poverty but continued to live ?in the world.? It is sometimes overlooked that despite the papal constitution Circa pastoralis (1566), which required women on the margins of monastic life to take formal vows, this irregular style of devotional life, often characterized as ?medieval,? continued to thrive in post-Tridentine Europe. ?Devout laywomen? is, admittedly, a very broad category, encompassing widows, virgins, and even married women; some individuals were closely tied to?or eventually joined?monastic orders; others led solitary lives. However, a volume on these women is warranted because, despite their diverse modi operandi, collectively they represented a female alternative to ?aut murus, au
 t maritus? prescriptions. First, their attempts to exercise a female apostolate (albeit with varying degrees of success and assertiveness) destabilized institutional structures and class and gender hierarchies. Second, to the extent that their beliefs and practices diverged from approved doctrine and rituals, they provide insights to tensions between official religion and lay religiosity.  Finally, a collection that centers on the years between 1520-1700 can offer complementary perspectives on the impact of Protestantism and the Catholic Reform on non-monastic women. 
	Essays might examine continuities and change between pre- and post-Tridentine lifestyles; how different communities resisted or enforced enclosure; the kinds of services, whether charitable or spiritual, semi-religious women performed; attributions of charismata; penitential practices; conflicts or collaborations with secular or religious authorities; male/female partnerships; literary and artistic production; defenses of a female apostolate; and patronage relationships. Proposals on all geographical-religious areas, including the New World, and from practitioners of all disciplines are welcome.
If you are interested in contributing an essay, please send me a 500-600 word proposal along with an abbreviated C.V. by March 30, 2012. The final essays should be no more than 8,000 words long, including notes and bibliography. This would amount to approximately 35 double-spaced pages (Ashgate uses a short footnote style). If the proposal is accepted by Ashgate, completed essays would be expected 9 months after the acceptance date. Final publication would be contingent on recommendations from Ashgate?s reviewers.

Call for Papers for the Sixteenth Century Studies Conference
October 25-28, 2012 Cincinnati, Ohio
http://www.sixteenthcentury.org/conference.shtml

Conversion in the Early Modern Iberian World

It is increasingly evident that religious identity in the early modern Iberian world was more labile than previously imagined. This panel would explore the dynamics of religious conversion within and beyond orthodox Catholicism. Conversion, therefore, might be examined as an intensification of religious devotion or as a transformation in religious identity. Papers might consider such questions as precipitating factors for conversion, sudden versus prolonged conversions, gender and conversion, ?re-conversion,? literary or autobiographical representations of conversion or converts, family and community reactions to converts, and the problematics of syncretism. 
If you are interested in participating in this panel, please send me a 300-500 word proposal along with an abbreviated C.V. by March 30, 2012.
