Gender intersectional: Borderlands
The GenderConceptGroup's comprehensive interdisciplinary lecture series
The lecture series (26 October 2016 – 1 February 2017) was open to anyone interested.
The lecture series organised by the GenderConceptGroup, which brought together a wide range of cultural studies disciplines in a gender based as well as an intersectional approach, examined the question of how sex, gendered bodies, but also gender identities and differentiations behave when they are set in relation to boundaries, especially when these boundaries become identifiable as 'gendered' or 'gendering'.
How viable are the distinctions between 'nature and culture', 'nature and technology', or even between 'man and woman' in an age in which intersectional perspectives reveal new connections and correlations between fields previously thought of as separate; in which the boundaries between man and machine become just as problematic as those between the real world and virtual reality; in which zombies dominate film and television; and in which millions of people set out to cross geographic and cultural borders?
