INTER-UNIVERSITY CENTER
6th annual postgraduate course in Feminist Critical Analysis--Be/longing and Citizenship
Call for postgraduate students - limited competitive funding is available.
www.iuc.hr
Belgrade Women's Studies Center, The Centre for Women's Studies, Zagreb, and Rutgers (State University of New Jersey) Women's and Gender Studies Department are pleased to announce the 6th annual postgraduate course in Feminist Critical Analysis--Be/longing and Citizenship.
This course will be co-directed by Rada Boric, Center for Women s Studies Zagreb, Croatia; Dasa Duhacek, Women s Studies Belgrade, Serbia and Montenegro; and Joanna Regulska Women's and Gender Studies Deparment, Rutgers University.
Topic:
As new forms of global and supranational governance emerged, and where the transnational flows of people, goods, and capital intensified, citizenship, in which each citizen was given certain rights and obligations under the nation-state, has lost its power.
Thus the focus on democratic, flexible, insurgent, cosmopolitan, post-national or multilayered aspects of citizenship are just few of the current discourses that attempt to determine citizenships' meaning, content and location.
In recent decades, women's demands for full political participation have mobilized their legitimate legal and political inclusion in the category of Citizen. Current aspirations toward participation have laid claim to citizenship. However, feminist theorists and activists have criticized the conceptual assumption around the notion of Citizenship, arguing that it reproduces the boundary of public/private thereby reproducing/reinforcing patriarchal formations.
This course will explore the problematics of citizenship as be/longing and the ways in which the desire for citizenship is interpolated in and through be/longing. In keeping with the rigor of feminist theory, the course will not lose sight of the issues of accountability and responsibility which have, precisely through feminist insights, been brought to bear on the contemporary framework of citizenship.
It will provide a framework for an in depth critical engagement with both the implicit and explicit assumptions of Citizenship. In particular, participants will have the opportunity to think critically about the broad sexual, gendered, national (etc.) implications of the rhetorics of Citizenship. Participants will rethink citizenship (as well as be/longing) in terms of the construction of gender difference, state practices that exclude particular groups of women, and women's symbolic role in national and local discourses.
Eligibility
The IUC courses are conducted at a postgraduate level. All postgraduate students interested in the topic may apply for attendance. The course will be limited to twenty attendees. The attendees should seek funds from their own institutions to cover the travel costs and accommodation.
Limited competitive funding is available from the UIC for scholars from Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Kosovo, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia.
Application Procedure
A short narrative explaining your interest in the topic and your CV (please include your current contact information at the top of the CV) should be submitted by fax or email, with IUC Dubrovnik 2005 in the subject heading.

WRO 05 - 11th International Media Art Biennale
May 11th - 15th, 2005
Wroclaw, Poland
All interested artists are invited to take part in the 11th International
Media Art Biennale WRO 05 competition. The submission form can be found on
our website: http://wro05.wrocenter.pl. The deadline for submitting
competition entries is January 15th, 2005; further requirements are detailed
in the competition regulations. The submission form and competition
regulations are available in pdf format in Polish and English.
The International Media Art Biennale WRO is the leading forum for new media
art in Central Europe. When it debuted in December 1989 as the Sound Basis
Visual Art Festival, WRO was devoted primarily to audiovisual works in
formats ranging from video and computer art to installations, performances
and multimedia presentations. Since 1993, the festival - now a biennial
event - has also explored digital art as a form of creative expression. WRO
is an ongoing enquiry into the artist's relationship to the blurring
boundaries between high and popular culture, between local and global
awareness, between commercial and independent endeavours. It puts particular
emphasis on individual artistic strategies in the face of global tendencies,
and on the fluidity of artistic responses to the culture of the society of
the spectacle.

THE NUDE
The Nude is a well-known exercise of the artistic process. It helps the
studend built a relationship between various styles of strokes and the
human anatomy, the scientific norm.
Although nudity has evolved over the ages, it will always be a symptom
of our ambivalent relation to images, halfway between the purity of the
body and the downfall of it, whether this downfall be tattered canvas or
in the ground.
But what is the nude hiding? What lies between what can and can't be
seen? For example in works such as: "The Origin of the World" (Courbet,
1866) and "Etant donnes: 1. La chute d'eau, 2. Le gaz d'eclairage"
(Duchamp, 1946-1966), we find an interstice, a fissure where the world
finds its origin, its sexuality.
The sensuality of the nude is an esthetical concern, which can only be
grasped from a distance. An eye touched by a body becomes blind.
At first sight, it seems that in this age we have standardised nudity,
however, obscenity is still present in female bodies. Clothed and hidden
they forbid men's blind gazes.
If art is to lay bare one's body and soul, if its role is both to veil
and unveil in a single gesture, where is our nudity today? What is a
nude when a body can be cloned and nano-technologies penetrate our
flesh? And what relates a generalised nudity and the other form of
bareness, which is dictated by the aesthetic?
