N♀SE Summer School 2010 Performing European Feminist Futures: 1968 & 1989
17/08/2010
These questions require an interdisciplinary approach, central to the NOISE Summer School tradition. A selection of European theorists, scholars, artists, curators, and activists will be asked to reflect upon the events from their disciplinary, political, and personal perspectives in the series of lectures, seminars, and workshops provided. The school will build upon the different national histories of the events, inviting students to bring in their own experiences and/or those of their family. How did May ’68 and November 1989 shape feminist futures in the different European countries and regions? How were they brought to us back then and has their mediated character changed now? How are those events generational, that is, how do they make themselves felt amongst second- and third-wave feminists? Other events (such as the death of Franco on November 20, 1975, the attacks on September 11, 2001 in the U.S. , March 11, 2004 in Spain , and July 7, 2005 in London , and the Yugoslav War in the 1990s) will be examined as seminal to current generations of feminists. The 2010 Summer School will draw upon recent texts about 1968 and 1989, historical texts from that period, and also upon materials that the students will be invited to bring from their home countries (media coverage, family journals, visual art, literary texts, music).
