After the Body: an international conference on religion, 
culture and gender.

University of Manchester 22-25 June 1998

Call for Papers

The last two decades have seen an explosion of scholarly interest in 
the relationship of the body, representation and subjectivity.
"After the Body" aims to take stock of this development and to ask 
where we go from here.

"After the Body" will apeal to scholars from a number of disciplines, 
including history, sociology, anthropology, archaeology, history of 
science, psychology, classics, literature, religious studies and 
theology.

Plenary speakers include:

Talal Asad
Mary Douglas
Page duBois
Thomas Laqueur
Roy Porter
Bryan Turner

In addition, proposals are invited for sessions and single papers on 
themes such as:

embodiment and narrative; self and subjectivity; historiography; 
symbolic systems;  gender, power and difference; sexualities; ethics 
and philosophy; representation and irony; race, the body and 
ideology; reproductive technologies; performativity and ritual; the 
biomedical body.

Papers may be historical, textual, philosophical or fieldwork-based.  
Contributions are also welcomed from scholars whose interests are 
cognate with the theme of the conference.
