Sex, Gender, Species (25.-26. 2. 2011, Wesleyan University, USA)

Recent scholarship on animal otherness as well as discussions of how to traverse boundaries of difference often draws upon a history of feminist theory and practice even as this borrowing remains unacknowledged. The purpose of this conference is to foreground the relations between feminist and animal studies and to examine the real and theoretical problems that are central to both fields of inquiry.

Literary, cultural, scientific, media studies, or other approaches to the notion of non-human animal “mind,” including but not limited to animal consciousness and subjectivity; animal “voices” and literary ventriloquism; animal narrators; animal communication or emotion; concepts of animal souls, afterlife, etc.
