Impacts of Gender Discourse on Polish Politics, Society & Cultur

The aim of the conference Impacts of Gender Discourse on Polish Politics, Society and Culture: Comparative Perspectives is to exchange knowledge and ideas about how contemporary gender politics, debates on sexuality and equality mechanisms affect politics, culture and social life in Poland, and how they are shaped by wider discourse about gender and sexuality. The conference focuses on Poland but considers it in a comparative context. The main aim is to analyse the gender debate in the broad field of culture, art, literature, film, drama, social media and music. We are especially interested in the intersectional elaboration of the cultural domains from the gendered perspective. Among the possible topics are:
• Policies affecting gender (in)equality in Poland
• Polish feminism(s)
• Feminism(s) and nationalism(s)
• The effect of new media on gender discourse in Poland
• Polish women’s literature, cinema, plastic arts and music
• Representation of abortion in Polish art, film and literature
• Performing sexuality in a public and private sphere
• Queer theory and art in Poland and Eastern Europe
• LGBTQ visibility and activism in Poland
• Teaching gender and sexuality
• Performing sexuality in public and private
• Transnational sexualities
