CFP AAA 2011 Volunteered Session: Ephemeral Youth: Embodied Identity and
Traces of Violence in Growing Up Session Abstract: Violence can mark the lives and bodies of children and youth in remarkable ways, altering their subjective sense of self, their status and worth within their communities, and their life trajectories.Whether as recipients or agents of violence, a change is registered on and through the body of young people. Focusing on the young person's lived experience of various forms of violence (interpersonal, emotional, physical,structural) this panel explores the impact of violence on socialization,identity formation, personhood, and belonging. Papers in this session explore the psychological and social transformations that result from exposure to violence as they are worked out on and through the body. Such a perspective encompasses ideas of traumatic change and its aftermath while also pushing beyond the traumatic to examine the routinization and normalization of forms of violence. These forms of “soft violence,” such as the frequent injustices of marginalization, discrimination and structural inequality, can have lasting effects on self-concept and life potential.Embodiment shifts our attention momentarily from the causes of violence tocontemplate its reverberations in and beyond childhood, including the very definitions of childhood and youth. If interested in participating in this volunteered session, please contact Rachana Agarwal (rachana@brandeis.edu) and Jon Wolseth(jwolseth@gmail.com) by March 15th with potential paper ideas. Full paper abstracts will be collected by April 1.
