Troubled by the status quo? We call for a new “status queer”!
As significant cultural changes in social reality are reflected and reinforced by representations in popular culture (with the law arguably lagging behind), we seek to question the status quo and look for examples of the creation of the new “status queer.”
We also want to update our understanding of what “status queer” is here and now: in a contemporary social context, including politics, academia, or activism. How is “status queer” being performed, reproduced or challenged in Polish society? Who is involved in this process, and why? How is queerness interconnected with gender/race/citizenship/disability and class within social practices or institutions? How far does the new queer culture go in calling into question the old social and political order? Does it always subvert it, or can it be integrated into old structures of power?
The aim of the conference is to create an opportunity for MA and BA students at the American Studies Center and Institute of Applied Social Sciences to present their research projects and facilitate an exchange of inspiring ideas. In the hopes of creating an interdisciplinary, bilingual platform to discuss topics and methods related to Poland and the United States, we invited presenters who will cover topics including, but not limited to, the following: non-normativity, horror, activism, queer methodologies, feminism, and changes in queer representation.
See you there on April 26-27!
