Women and their Body
16. März 2023, 9:30 - 18:00
Recent events have shown that it is urgent and fundamentally important to shed new light, through philosophical, linguistic, literary, scientific, medical and artistic perspectives, on the female body and the position of women in relation to their body. Too often it seems that women do not have the right to determine their own body, although men have never been deprived of this right. The question of power over the body is strongly linked to the distinction between men and women. It seems that men have more rights and power on their own body than women. But how is this possible? What is the status of the female body in culture and society? Why is the female body both, an object of desire and a battlefield for demonstrating male power? To what extent have medicine and technology interfered in recent years with the female body and with what consequences?
The conference Women and their body intends to enlarge the network by making it more interdisciplinary, starting with a multidisciplinary Talk Series and Conference. Early scholars as well as established researchers are invited to send abstracts covering different fields in the humanities, speaking about Women and their body. New Voices is a place to connect and to foster communication on our work.
In the Talk Series from Winter 2022/23, there are 6 meetings/dates (completely on Zoom) and on March, 15th, 16th and 17th 2023, an international, hybrid conference will take place, with a Masterworkshop on March 15th.
Registration is now open to everybody interested in the subject (no registration fees): https://indico.uni-paderborn.de/event/21/
