NOI?SE 2007 Summer School!
Un-settling the canon: Generating alternative feminist
knowledge practices
27 August - 7 September, Bologna, Italy
· Have you always wanted to know what
cutting-edge feminist thinking is about and how it
relates to classical feminist texts? Are you dreaming
of writing your own feminist manifesto?
· Do you want to develop your ideas
about feminist and national heritages and canon
forming? Do you want to reflect upon the ways in which
cultural identity and creative diversity are being
negotiated?
· Do you want to know what think
global, act local means for your research or studies?
Do you want to reflect upon the politics of
location?
· Are you curious about doing women's
studies in Europe?
The first cluster of the NOISE Summer School evolves
around the theme Manifest yourself! Negotiating with
the Feminist Heritage. It deals with the history of
feminist theory through a critical reading of the
classical manifestos produced by or relevant to the
womens movement. The method of approach is an
inter-disciplinary, trans-cultural, multi-ethnic and
cross-generational perspective. The theoretical issues
will emerge from the reading of the selected texts and
will range from the issue of the manifesto as a genre,
the potentiality and limitations of the format, to
more general issues. These involve epistemological
questions about the subject of feminism, her/his
location, politics and the ethical commitment to
overcoming epistemological individualism, to a
conceptual reading of the different strands of
feminist theory over the last thirty years.
Contemporary issues, such as third-wave feminism,
technological mediation, critical studies of
whiteness, and the post-secular turn will also be
raised. Lecturers are selected from a variety of
disciplinary backgrounds ranging from social and
political philosophy, the arts, the social sciences,
and social movement studies. The cluster reassesses a
wide range of manifestos from past and present, and
closes with the writing of a (collective or
individual) (visual or textual) manifesto by all
participants.
The second cluster, Global Visions. Promoting Cultural
Diversity, aims to systematize and critically look at
the dynamics of canon-forming processes in the
contemporary visual and literary arts. In the light of
increasingly urgent questions of globalisation,
migrant communities, nomadism and double citizenship,
the notion of the national heritage needs to be
reformulated. We will examine the role of minority
cultures in institutional structures and the politics
of representation reflected in the practices of
inclusion and exclusion. We will operate within the
framework of queer and gender theory. How do concepts
like exile, diaspora, double identity and cultural
hybridity function in the Third World Cinema,
literature, photography and other artistic practices?
Can the methods, concepts and purposes of Western arts
be suitable for art outside of Europe and North
America? In the cluster we will examine how minority
cultures have often been caught in the politics of
translation which changed their dynamics. We will aim
at confronting the effects of such changes and attempt
to reformulate the positioning of global art
practices.
Aims
This advanced training course offers a diversified,
but coherent programme of study from an
interdisciplinary perspective. It is meant for MA
students and PhD students and it will provide special
and separate seminars to these two groups.
