CALL FOR PAPERS: GENDER AND JOY IN HISTORY, LILITH: A FEMINIST HISTORY JOURNAL SYMPOSIUM 2023

‘Gender and Joy in History’ is a symposium aimed at counterposing the common scholarly focus on catastrophe and crisis of recent years. Lilith: A Feminist History Journal now calls for scholars in all areas of gender and feminist history to consider questions about how women, feminists and gender diverse people have found joy, strength, resilience, inspiration, love, happiness and transcendence in the past.  

Die Wienerin Vera Ferra-Mikura (1923-1997), als Lyrikerin in der von Otto Basil herausgegebenen Zeitschrift Plan entdeckt, ab 1948 als freie Schriftstellerin tätig und Teilnehmerin an zahlreichen Veranstaltungen der Nachkriegszeit, fiel zunächst als Autorin origineller und satirischer Beiträge für Zeitungen und Zeitschriften auf, bevor sie sich ab den späten 1940er Jahren vermehrt der Kinder- aber auch der Jugendliteratur, ihrer Meinung nach einem Teilbereich der Literatur, widmete.

DEADLINE EXTENDED UNTIL MARCH 1

Longstanding feminist debates about the undervaluing and exploitation of caring labour came into focus in 2020, as the Covid pandemic closed schools and workplaces across the globe, and placed the lowest paid care workers on the frontlines of harm.

This renewed and amplified interest in the politics, economics and social repercussions of care has moved beyond critique to alternatives conceptions of how care should be centred and interdependence celebrated.
