collaboration with the University of Southern Denmark

A methodology is in short the logos of method, the study of how something is
approached and investigated. A methodology comprises a set of working methods.
The word methodology also signifies the analysis of such working methods and
the theoretical branch concerned with principles of the formation and
production of knowledge.
This conference focuses on methodological complexities and epistemological
challenges in research targeting the interrelations between gender, embodiment
and health. It aims to raise questions concerning the how’s of knowledge
production. The conference seeks to highlight methodologies from different
disciplines, professions, traditions and fields of research, addressing points
of convergence and tension, and discussing how different methodologies can be
creatively combined in approaching the production of knowledge on gender, body
and health.
We welcome submissions for papers, panels, and mini-workshops approaching
issues within the overarching theme from a broad range of disciplines and
fields of research.
Topics can include, but are not limited to:
- Embodied methodologies
- Cultural representations in productions of knowledge
- Productions of ”normal bodies” as healthy bodies and vice versa
- Autoethnographies, Autobiography, Subjectivity and Self-Representation
- The researcher as knowledge producer
- Emotion, subjectivity and experience in the process of knowledge production
- Bodies as Objects and Subjects of Knowledge
- Artistic and creative approaches to research methodologies and knowledge
production
- Methodologies of Reading Literature and Film
- Newer Methodological Approaches to Reading (i.e. new materialism,
postcolonialism, etc.)
- The relations and tensions between “old” and “new” methodologies
One page abstracts are due no later than September 15, 2013.
