Black Masculinities is an all day conference on Feb 4th 2005 organized and sponsored by the Africana Studies Group of the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. This conference seeks to clear a space for a strategic, systematic interrogation of Black masculinities, exploring the complexity of representations and performances of Black masculinity, and analyzing the simultaneous commodification and dehumanization of Black males. We recognize that theories of Black masculinities effect cultural critique, public policy and community activism. Black masculinity should represent (and often has represented) a complex, disruptive and liberating theoretical and political stance. Despite this radical potential, Black masculinity often remains a problematic vacancy, both inside the academy and in its lived experience in the world. The papers at the conference will, we hope, contribute to the identification and articulation of a progressive Black Masculinity. We invite papers and panel suggestions from academic and independent scholars from all fields in the social sciences and humanities, as well as artists and activists.
Topics may include, but are not limited to:
- Fictional Black masculinities
- Political Black masculinities
- Performative Black masculinities
- Theoretized Black masculinities
- Comic Black masculinities
- Queer Black masculinities
- Statistical Black masculinities
- Visual Representations of Black masculinities
- Applied Black masculinities
- Feminist Black masculinities
- Transnational Black masculinities
- Generational Black masculinities
- Black masculinities and the military
- Black masculinities and prison
- Black masculinities and labor
- Nationalist Black masculinities
- Multiethnic Black masculinities
- Genealogies of Black masculinities
Please submit abstracts (300-500 words, please) by September 15th 2004.
