Bodies - Systems - Structures
Masculinities in the UK and the US, 1945 to the present
International Conference, TU Dresden, Germany, 13-15/06/2012
Vortragssaal
SLUB Dresden
Zellescher Weg 18
Organizers: Prof. Dr. Stefan Horlacher (TU Dresden), Prof. Kevin Floyd (Kent State University)
This international conference, the last of a series of three funded by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and Kent State University, will encourage scholarly movement in a direction that both builds on recent work in the field of Masculinity Studies and moves past it, towards more comparative kinds of analysis. It intends to explore the relations between different abstract and corporeal, metaphorical and metonymical manifestations of masculinity as well as masculinity as an idea or a concept that operates across, or at least in relation to, a distance/ difference that may or may not be bridgeable: between the systemic and the corporeal, the abstract and the concrete. Therefore, the conference focuses on theoretical, cultural or literary analyses of masculinities in the US and/ or the UK since World War II – a period in which differentiated masculinities have proliferated for specifically national and transnational reasons, including global waves of decolonization, changing patterns of migration, the emergence of 'new' subaltern subjects demanding social, cultural, and political recognition, as well as conservative reactions against these developments.
