First International Deleuze Studies in Asia Conference
Taipei, Taiwan
31 May - 2 June 2013

[from conference home page, 11/9/12]

The English Department at Tamkang University, the publisher of the internationally renowned Tamkang Review, is pleased to announce that it will be hosting The First International Deleuze Studies in Asia Conference on the theme Creative Assemblages, May 31-June 2, 2013, and, prior to the conference, the Deleuze Camp, May 25-29, 2013.

As one of the most important terms in Gilles Deleuze's oeuvre, "assemblage" refers to the territory of an object along with its own regime of signs and pragmatic system. Yet assemblage also refers to the forces of deterritorialization underlying the structure which enable the formation of new connections. In other words, the Deleuzian assemblage is not only a territorial gesture, framing its own territory, but also a performative practice of carving out new routes of thinking. Most important, Deleuze and Guattari emphasize the epistemological sparks emanating from creative interventions in the continual process of territorialization, deterritorialization and reterritorialization of assemblages.

Assemblages are everywhere: human beings, as centers of indetermination, are assemblages of images, as Deleuze makes clear when he "assembles" the brain with the screen, the world with film, as elements of a philosophy of time. Even virtual assemblages on digital networks (email, facebook, twitter) in our quotidian life can be regarded as assemblages. Assemblages are also practical and political as well as theoretical. In this light, to what extent can Deleuze's philosophical thinking assist us in canvassing various prospective assemblages, and what is the retrospective assemblage between us and Deleuze? Is it possible for us to theorize the new informatics sensibilia by formulating the dispositif of the horizontal/ rhizomatic assemblages? And apart from the superficial/superfluous assemblages, is it possible to build any vertical yet not arborescent assemblages?

Situating this concept in the contemporary world, we are seeking to form transdisciplinary assemblages in order to respond to and have dialogues with present predicaments. Possible topics for papers may include but are not limited to:

1) Connections between Deleuze and Guattari's work;
2) Connections among all the different arts, including literature, film, music, architecture, etc.
3) Deleuze-Asian Assemblages;
4) Affect and Asian Aesthetics;
5) Image and Thought;
6) Deleuze and Gender;
7) Psychoanalysis and Schizoanalysis;
8) Creative Betrayal of Deleuze;
9) Pros and Cons of Deleuze;
10) Ecology with/without Guattari;
11) Digital Folds;
12) Translation as Expression.

Although we wait to hear from several invited speakers, currently confirmed speakers include:
Jeffrey A. Bell (Southeastern Louisiana University)
Ronald Bogue (University of Georgia)
Ian Buchanan (University of Wollongong)

5th Global Conference
Prague, Czech Republic
18-20 May 2013

[from H-NET, 9/4/12]

"A wanton woman is the figure of imperfection; in nature an ape, in quality a wagtail, in countenance a witch, and in condition a kind of devil" -- Nicholas Breton, 1615

Despite the attempts of feminists the conjunction between evil and the feminine seems unbroken. Established as secondary, derivative and hence inferior, women have been long suspected of being the source of human (though more often masculine) miseries, always in cahoots with the forces of evil and destruction. Paradoxically, at the same time, some have also been put on the pedestal and lauded as ideals of purity and dedication, yet these paragons only proved the rule that, on average, the feminine/woman equals imperfect and transgressive. Mischievous, beguiling, seductive, lascivious, unruly, carping, vengeful and manipulative–these are only a few of the epithets present in cultures and literatures across the world. In grappling with our understanding of what it is to be and do "evil," the project aims to explore the possible sources of the fear and hatred of women and the feminine as well as their manifestations and pervasiveness across times, cultures and media.

This interdisciplinary project invites scholars, artists, writers, theologians, sociologists, psychologists, historians, etc. to present papers, reports, work-in-progress, art pieces and workshops on issues related but definitely not limited to the following themes:

- Evil Women and Feminine Evil: Vices and Sins of Women
- Representing and Misrepresenting the Female; Evil Women "Talking Back"
- Motherhood; Monstrous Motherhood; Infertility and its Meaning across Cultures
- Monstrous Births and Infanticide
- Matriarchy / Matricide / Spouse Murder
- Devious Sexuality and Feminine Perversions
- Women and/as the Abject; Unnatural Women/Femininity
- Menstruation, Castration
- Fears and Myths: Feminine Blood, Witchcraft, Vamp(ires)s, Sirens, Harpies, Lamias, etc.
- Anthropological and Historical Perspectives on Evil Feminine and Femaleness
- The Evil Woman in Literature, Religion, Medicine, Law across Times and Cultures
- Psychoanalytic Perspectives: "Vagina Dentata," "the Wandering Womb," "Poisonous Look," etc.
- Sexualizing the Female or Evil Objectification
- Trans-Cultural Conceptualisations of Femme Fatale vs the Perfect Woman
- Women and (Misuse of) Power
- Evil Beauty; the Meaning of Hair and Make-up
- Evil, Feminine in Fantasy, Fairy Tales, Horror, Thriller
- Evil, Feminine in Mythologies and Religions across the world
- Case Studies: Evil Women on the Agenda

The Steering Group particularly welcomes the submission of pre-formed panel proposals. Papers will also be considered on any related theme.

300-word abstracts should be submitted by Friday 30th November 2012. If an abstract is accepted for the conference, a full draft paper should be submitted by Friday 15th February 2013. 300 word abstracts should be submitted simultaneously to both Organising Chairs; abstracts may be in Word, WordPerfect, or RTF formats with the following information and in this order: a) author(s), b) affiliation, c) e-mail address, d) title of abstract, e) body of abstract, f) up to 10 keywords. E-mails should be entitled: EWF5 Abstract Submission.

Please use plain text (Times Roman 12) and abstain from using footnotes and any special formatting, characters or emphasis (such as bold, italics or underline). We acknowledge receipt and answer to all paper proposals submitted. If you do not receive a reply from us in a week you should assume we did not receive your proposal; it might be lost in cyberspace! We suggest, then, to look for an alternative electronic route or resend.

Organising Chairs:

Description
Les changements produits par les révolutions industrielle et technologique vont de plus en plus transformer le statut du corps. On ne peut manquer de constater que les créations artistiques qui utilisent des supports technologiques reflètent les mutations en cours dans nos sociétés. La technologie est en train de bouleverser notre mode de vision et les nouveaux dispositifs numériques (images de synthèse, interactivité, réalité virtuelle...) changent notre rapport à l’image, au corps et au monde.

Dans Le Corps à l'écran, Ariane Thézé nous propose une approche directe de la problématique de l’autoportrait par le biais de son œuvre personnelle, tout en évoquant au passage ses grandes admirations, nommément Morimura, Orlan et Boltanski. « Ce qui se passe, affirme Thézé, à travers toutes les mutations techniques, et qui n’est pas accidentel, c’est une vraie transformation du corps. Ce rapport à la technique n’est pas quelque chose à quoi un corps donné doit se plier, s’ajuster, c’est d’abord quelque chose qui le transforme. Ce n’est plus le même corps qui se déplace et réagit devant tous ces appareils. Un autre corps peu à peu s’invente, se modifie, procède à sa subtile mutation. »

Shitaga Kazuo, Lutter dans la boue, 1955, Tokyo

[from H-NET, 9/20/12]

The Gutai Group was founded almost immediately after the end of the US Occupation of Japan, an explosion of colour and energy that determined the visual culture of the 1960s and 1970s through unconventional public performance art projects challenging the limits of materiality and authorship. Despite the group's high profile, existing research emphasises interrogation of the group's relationship to European avant-gardism and Informel; this volume proposes instead to examine Gutai in both its Japanese and international contexts.

The Enzo Press is seeking contributions to a new volume of research essays on Gutai and their activities. We aim to take a theoretical approach, and welcome contributions examining:

• The response of Gutai members to WWII and Japan's international position;
• The role of the body, material or authorship in Gutai practice;
• Identity, particularly in connection to gender and race;
• The relationship of Gutai to contemporary international avant-gardes;
• The influences on and formation of the Gutai group, particularly in connection to the location of Gutai practice within a Japanese cultural context. Papers dealing with the oeuvres of individual Gutai practitioners will also be considered.

Please send papers of between 5,000 to 10,000 words, together with an abstract, bibliography, and illustrations list, to commissioning@enzoarts.com with Gutai as the subject, by the deadline of December 1st.

For enquires, expressions of interest and further information please e-mail Dr Tristan Lavelle.
